Large Group Vacation Rentals in Malibu
Planning a trip for 10, 15, 20 people or more is a different kind of challenge. It’s not just about bedrooms. It’s about communal spaces, outdoor gathering areas, enough bathrooms that nobody’s waiting in line, and a layout where the night owls don’t keep the early risers up. Our large group vacation rentals in Malibu are among the best on the California coast: estates with real acreage, guesthouses, dual-home compounds, and the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that Southern California does better than anywhere.
What Makes a Great Group Rental in Malibu
Most large vacation homes look fine on paper. Five bedrooms, a pool, ocean views. But once you get 12 or 15 people under one roof, the details matter more than the bullet points. A home that works for a couple on a weekend trip can feel cramped for a family reunion. The difference between a good Malibu group house rental and a great one usually comes down to three things.
First is layout. Homes with separate guesthouses, casitas, or dual-home compounds give parts of the group their own space without splitting the trip into separate stays. Second is the communal outdoor area. In Malibu, the weather lets you live outside for most of the year, so a generous pool deck, outdoor kitchen, or garden with seating can double the usable space of the house. Third is flow. Open floor plans where the kitchen connects to the living area and the living area opens onto the deck mean the group stays together naturally instead of getting bottlenecked in a hallway.
Our Malibu group rentals range from 5 to 7 bedrooms. Family reunions, multi-generational trips, corporate retreats, milestone celebrations. We’ve matched groups with the right home for all of them. Here are 7 of our favorite options.
California Villa
A 2.5-Acre Gated Compound in Serra Retreat
California Villa is an amazing value for large groups in Malibu. Six bedrooms on 2.5 acres in the gated Serra Retreat neighborhood, with a long private driveway that feels like you’re arriving at your own compound. The pool area is the centerpiece. Massive pool with a water slide, an oversized spa, and enough deck space that 20 people can spread out without crowding. Families with kids especially love this one.
Sea Star Modern
Architect-Designed Estate with Guesthouse Overlooking Zuma Beach
Sea Star Modern is an architectural statement. Interiors by the Gianpiero Gaglione design studio, six en suite bedrooms each with its own balcony, and a separate guesthouse that gives part of the group their own space. The main house plus guesthouse layout is ideal for Malibu family reunion rentals where grandparents or parents want proximity without shared walls. Pool, Zuma Beach views, and every room designed with intention.
Malibu Beach Oasis
A Brand-New Blufftop Estate in a Gated Community
Malibu Beach Oasis is brand-new, custom-built, and sitting on a full acre of bluff in a gated community. Six bedrooms, a double-height glass entry that sets the tone the moment you walk in, a pool, and the kind of open floor plan that makes a group of 20 feel connected without being on top of each other. The architecture is contemporary and dramatic. This is the home for groups that want to feel like they’ve arrived somewhere genuinely special.ecially love this one.
Neptune Modern
A Berry Berkus-Designed Cliffside Estate in MariSol
Neptune Modern sits in MariSol, one of Malibu’s most exclusive cliffside developments. Designed by architect Berry Berkus, it perches above the surf with uninterrupted ocean views and a sense of being at the edge of the continent. Six bedrooms, near a private airport, and the kind of architectural pedigree that makes this home as much a destination as the coastline itself. For a group that values design and location above all else.
Wine Trail Estate
Two Homes on One Property in Malibu Wine Country
Wine Trail Estate is our largest Malibu property. Seven bedrooms across two homes on a single property, brand-new renovation, stunning vineyard-adjacent grounds. The two-home layout makes it uniquely flexible: rent both for a large group, or the homes can be rented separately for smaller parties. This is the one we recommend for weddings, milestone birthdays, and corporate offsite gatherings. The grounds alone are worth the trip. Pet-friendly.
Ocean Villa
A Cape Cod Mansion on a Double-Wide Broad Beach Lot
Ocean Villa is a Cape Cod-style beach mansion on a rare double-wide Broad Beach lot. Six bedrooms, direct access to one of California’s best beaches, and the kind of generous proportions that come from having twice the land of a typical Broad Beach property. For groups that want beachfront, privacy, and enough space that nobody’s stepping on anyone’s toes, this one checks every box.
Starlite Malibu
Three Acres of Gardens Overlooking Paradise Cove
Starlite Malibu offers something the others don’t: three full acres of gardens. Five bedrooms, ocean views over Paradise Cove, a pool, chic interiors, and grounds so expansive that different parts of the group can find their own space without leaving the property. The right fit for groups that want luxury and breathing room in equal measure.
Seven large group vacation rentals in Malibu, each with a different personality. From a family compound in Serra Retreat to a Broad Beach mansion to a dual-home wine country estate. What they share is space, privacy, and communal areas that make group travel feel easy rather than cramped. We’ll help you match the right home to your group’s size, style, and budget.
