According to Hilton & Hyland agent Chad Rogers, the summer rental season in Malibu is a "frenzy," with people itching for a change of scenery after months of shelter-at-home orders. He's seeing potential renters battling for leases, and homeowners who "really weren't thinking about leasing [out their properties but] have decided to take advantage of these really high rates that are even over market value," says Rogers.
Just two rentals remain in the guard-gated Malibu Colony, where current and former residents have included Brian Grazer, philanthropist Wallis Annenberg, Neal Moritz and Irwin Winkler, and where seasonal rentals range this summer from $80,000 to $250,000 per month. One owner recently put their home up for rent to cash in, listing it for $40,000 more a month than its usual summer price.
"The Colony has its perks, but one of the negatives for me was when I would come home past my curfew — my parents would know because the gate guards would always rat me out," says the agent of the neighborhood of 100 or so eclectic homes that hug the peaceful Malibu Lagoon State Beach. It's known for its tennis matches, beach parties, Fourth of July celebration and barbecues, often of the catered-by-Mastro's variety. In 2018, it was named L.A.
This A-listers' paradise is the legacy of May Rindge, the fierce former owner of the entirety of Malibu. After decades of legal battles to keep her private fairy-tale Eden undeveloped, in the 1920s Rindge opened a 1-mile strip of beachfront on the eastern portion of her property for holiday renters from cash-soaked Hollywood. Silent stars including Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow stayed in temporary shacks, often built by studio carpenters, and the area became known as the Malibu Movie Colony.
Few homes change hands. According to The Mark & Grether Group, only two homes sold in the Colony in 2019. This year, Jason Statham sold a home there for $18.5 million. Right now, four homes are on the market. Rogers — who notes that potential buyers must sign a coronavirus disclaimer and don gloves and masks to tour a property — is listing three of those, including a rustic charmer ; a sleek four-bedroom stunner and a beachfront white-shingled beauty on a double lot.
