Carbon Beach Bungalows is a rare, permitted short-term rental and retail investment on one of California’s most coveted coastlines — Malibu’s
Carbon Beach, widely known as “Billionaire’s Beach.” The property offers an investor a diversified income stream combining six fully permitted
STR bungalows, two retail/office tenants under long-term leases, and a spa operation, all within a recently renovated ±8,125 SF mixed-use
complex on ±10,743 SF of fee-simple land.
The asset benefits from an active City of Malibu Annual Short-Term Rental Permit (STR26-0014, valid through February 19, 2027) — an increasingly
scarce entitlement that is extremely difficult to obtain in Malibu’s highly regulated coastal environment. This permit alone represents significant
embedded value for any acquirer.
