Once home to Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney, this adorable one-of-a-kind two- bedroom gem sparkles in the natural beauty of sprawling canyons, just minutes from Malibu. A short drive to the beach & hiking trails, it blends seamlessly mountain and ocean living, nature and comfort, seclusion and civilization. Cozy and family-friendly, this retreat holds a serene appeal for nature lovers, peace seekers, outdoor adventurers, and creative, artistic souls in search of inspiration, a healing space, or a tranquil escape from city life. In a fusion of vintage charm and tasteful modern upgrades, high-speed WiFi, a home theater, central heating and air conditioning speak of ultimate comfort, connection, and relaxation. You will enjoy a large dining table to beckon warm gatherings, a cast iron wood burning hearth to disclaim cold winter nights, and a Piazza sofa with oversize large swivel cuddlers to cocoon in a sea of pillows. The front porch with its stunning views is where nature and comfort congregate harmoniously to let you enjoy a gem-set life!

Born and raised in the south of France, I am a linguist, love people, and all languages and cultures of the world. I practice yoga, dance, write, and congregate with the stunning nature that surrounds me. From my native Baie des Anges, I have found my way to Los Angeles which I treasure for its mix of cultures, innovative and progressive spirit, self-expression, and creativity. I enjoy traveling with a purpose – currently to dance Argentine tango in the US, Europe, and Buenos Aires. A meaningful voyage was an exotic mother-daughter reunion through Nepal, India and Sri Lanka with my youngest daughter coming from Australia. Resonating with my natural inclinations, hosting is a creative expression for me. I have enjoyed guests from various States and countries, welcoming the world into my world in this way, and sharing the healthy happy lifestyle dictated by the sun, mountains and ocean. I enjoy beautifying my homes both for myself and all who visit, and hope you will be receptive to the unique charm and creativity expressed in my hosting.

Topanga is a small town within a large city: offering the best of both worlds, it shelters a spirited community in spectacular surroundings, to be explored by foot, bicycle, mountain bike, horse. Its privileged location by the ocean also provides a rich display of wild life (dolphins, seals, whales...) and opportunities for sea exploration, boating, surfing (one of the best surf spots,) kayaking, paragliding, swimming, or just walking. Even the simplest walk will reveal treasures from the sea, particularly at low tide, sunrise and sunset.
