Update so I go into this place today bc I'm at malibu and wanted to get a soda. Out of now where this the same girl came up to me and told me that I was not welcome in the store bc I wasn't dressed right and she told me to TAKE MY GHETTO ASS BACK FROM WHERE I CAME FROM. Some one please give me her managers number so I can complain. There is no corporate number. Any help would be grateful. Beware!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice place. I went there to rent some fishing gear for my nephews so we could fish off the pier. I ended up dealing with this woman named Trisha. Worse experience and person ever. Never dealt with someone so mean and grumpy. I will never shop or rent anything from here again as long as she is working there. If it was my company I would fire here asap.!!!!!!!

They have made my planning so easy, I had over thought my experience and brought extra games, prizes ... I didn't know what to expect. But once we arrived, our host had everything beautifully set up. So as a busy mommy of two you know I had my hands full. All I had to do was set up my food and start the music, Forget the games. My guests ate, kids ran straight to the water and conversations began. Before I knew it our time flew by. I would absolutely recommend booking for your special event.

Brian and the Bliss Beach team are incredible. We used Bliss Beach yesterday for a joint birthday…read morecelebration for my best friend and me, and they truly made the day so special. Brian and his team are kind, gracious, generous, and extremely professional. They were there and ready to go on time, set everything up quickly, and made the beach look beautiful. Between the comfortable furniture, rugs, shade, tables and chairs, games, and all the little details, it was such an elevated experience. It was clear they didn't just want to provide us with furniture, it was important to them that we had an epic day celebrating. And we really did. I grew up in LA and have spent a lot of time at the beach, and this was honestly the best beach day I've ever had with friends. Everything was so comfortable and easy that we could just relax and enjoy ourselves without worrying about a thing. We booked the full day from 12 PM to 8 PM and initially thought eight hours might be way too long. It ended up feeling like it went by way too fast. Having comfortable furniture, plenty of shade, and games made such a difference, and I'm so glad we stayed through sunset. We easily could have spent even more time out there. When it was time to leave, the team broke everything down and cleaned everything up, so there was literally nothing for us to do. The entire experience from beginning to end was seamless. I highly recommend Bliss Beach, and I especially recommend doing the full day. It was absolutely worth it and made for an unforgettable birthday.

I'm so good at just having any ol type of pizza. Reminds me of New York. Not that I have been there - but that I just wanted a slice and I don't care how good it is. Thank you. Cheers

Meh. Probably wouldn't rent from them again. The prices were decent and it was easy to book, but…read morethe bikes were not great. They were beaters, some with coaster brakes and some with hand brakes. The "baskets" were my biggest complaint. They are floppy plastic bins that they attach to the handlebars and if you put anything in the baskets, the basket flops around when you take corners and throws off your center of gravity. It also sags to the point where it looks like your stuff will fall out. They really should have wire or wicker baskets - something sturdy. They also forgot to give us one of our locks, so it was hard for our group to stop for a break.

This Pacific Palisades neighborhood has a good amount of stairs, hills, scenic overlooks, and…read morepretty houses, so it makes for a nice walk/urban hike. To get there, navigate to 17574 Pacific Coast Highway and park on the street or in one of the metered lots on the beach side. Walk over the highway overpass to the first set of stairs. For a full 1.5-hour loop through the neighborhood, you can follow these instructions: 1. Turn left on Posetano 2. Turn left on Revello and go down the stairs after the house at 17712 3. Turn right on Breve Way until Porto Marina Way 4. Take the stairs up at 17737 Porto Marina Way 5. Turn left at the top of Castellammare and walk up the hill 6. Keep right onto Vicino Way (another uphill) 7. Keep walking right onto Tramonto Dr 8. Keep walking onto Tramonto Dr until you reach Revello Dr and keep right 9. Follow Revello down until you reach a short bridge 10. A bit after the bridge, there is a staircase going down on the left 11. Turn right onto Posetano and keep going down as it turns into Stretto Way 12. Turn right onto Castellammare and keep going (it will turn into a dirt path and then it'll turn into a paved street again) 13. Voila! You are back at the first staircase where you started

These stairs will take you through some of the most beautiful ocean scenery not to mention walking…read morepast some of the most spectacular mansions L.A. has to offer. The stairs on the lower end start just past Gladstones restaurant and after the pedestrian overpass. You will feel a bit of nostalgia as these stairs take you past silent screen star Thelma Todd's old restaurant and right past her opulent mansion of yesteryear. These different sets of stairs is really a wonderful way to spend a day with the incredibly beautiful views you will have of the ocean from the top of the hills and of the stairs. It is a little over 3+ miles with about 518 steps. Some of the staircases seem pretty steep and like I said the view at the top is well worth getting to! This pathway will also take you through a lot of natural beauty as there are many types of trees and shrubs that are well manicured and incredibly picturesque around the staircases. It was so peaceful and serene at this location of hidden stairs when I went with my husband and daughter that I felt like I was kind of at some sort of self realization retreat. This place definitely gets five stars from me because after walking these stairs and witnessing the glamour and beauty of this area I just felt so inspired. I highly recommend checking out these stairs because the whole experience was just beautiful!
