Location and Accessibility

Paradise Cove

Paradise Cove is situated along the world-famous Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, on what is widely considered one of Southern California’s most spectacular beaches. The park is conveniently reachable from Santa Monica, Venice, Downtown, and the Valley, making it an attractive option for those seeking coastal living without the hassle of long commutes.

Proximity to major landmarks and attractions is one of Paradise Cove’s key highlights. Within a six-mile radius, residents can explore Escondido Falls, Point Dume State Beach and Natural Preserve, Zuma Beach, and El Matador State Beach – so there’s always something active to do, whether it’s hiking, beachcombing, or enjoying a leisurely wine tour through the mountains. You probably know Paradise Cove from TV and movies, as the location has been featured on the silver screen for decades.

Point Dume Club

Point Dume Club is nestled within one of Malibu’s most exclusive communities, offering a slightly different – but equally captivating – living experience. Situated near legendary Zuma Beach, Point Dume Club boasts quick access to a variety of local restaurants, shops, and top-rated schools – making the location a perfect blend of luxury and convenience. Like Paradise Cove, Point Dume Club is just a short drive away from Point Dume Village, Malibu Country Mart, Trancas Market, and the Malibu Lumberyard, where you’ll find phenomenal shops and restaurants with a community feel.

Community and Amenities

Paradise Cove

Paradise Cove is known for its charming, laid-back community vibe that attracts a diverse range of residents, from young families to retirees. The neighborhood exudes a welcoming, neighborly feel, with 79% of homes being owner-occupied.

When it comes to amenities, Paradise Cove offers a luxurious yet relaxed lifestyle. Residents enjoy direct access to spectacular Paradise Cove Beach, perfect for those who love sunbathing, surfing, or simply strolling along the shoreline. The Paradise Cove Beach Café, just steps away from the entrance to the park, is a local favorite, offering delicious meals with stunning ocean views. Additionally, the park features a large clubhouse, tennis and basketball courts, and a children’s playground, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Community events and gatherings are a staple in Paradise Cove, adding to the park’s vibrant social atmosphere. From casual beach bonfires to organized recreational activities, residents have numerous opportunities to connect and build lasting relationships. The community’s proximity to Point Dume Village, Trancas Country Market, and Malibu Country Market also means that shopping, dining, and entertainment options are just a short drive away.

Point Dume Club

Point Dume Club offers residents a relaxed, tranquil, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking a quieter lifestyle. The amenities at Point Dume Club are truly next-level: The park features a 24-hour gated entrance with guard, ensuring security and peace of mind. Residents can take advantage of the heated swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, basketball court, dog run, children’s playground, and recently-renovated, well-equipped clubhouse. The meticulously maintained grounds and facilities speak to the pride that residents take in their community.

Social events and community activities are integral to life at Point Dume Club. Whether a poolside gathering, a tennis match, or watching Santa’s annual parade through the park, there are plenty of ways for residents to engage and socialize. The park’s location also places it within walking distance to local beaches, Malibu Elementary, and Point Dume Village, further enhancing its appeal.

Property Features and Pricing

Paradise Cove

Paradise Cove offers a variety of mobile home styles, with many reflecting the offbeat charm and casual vibe of beachfront living.

The park itself is situated on the scenic bluffs of Malibu along the Pacific Coast Highway, and is divided into two main areas: The Upper Bowl (overlooking the bluffs), and the Lower Bowl, where homes tend to skew smaller and quirkier (in the best way). The community’s amenities are top-notch, featuring a large clubhouse overlooking the ocean, tennis and basketball courts, a children’s playground, and, of course, direct beach access.

When it comes to pricing, Paradise Cove stands out as one of Malibu’s more upscale mobile home parks, with prices currently ranging from around $1.2 million to nearly $5 million. Residents of Paradise Cove pay “space rent” to the park, an amount that varies from home to home but generally hovers between $1-2k per month.

Point Dume Club

Point Dume Club is known for spacious, beautifully-renovated manufactured homes crafted to maximize the stunning whitewater and rainbow sunset views.

The park was developed in 1970, and is located on the western tip of the Santa Monica Bay. The park offers something of a country club atmosphere, complete with a 24-hour gated entrance, heated swimming pool, spa, sauna, and more. Residents of Point Dume Club can exit the rear entrance and walk or golf cart directly onto Westward and Zuma Beaches, offering an unparalleled opportunity to experience Malibu’s natural beauty on a daily basis.

Pricing in Point Dume Club varies widely, with current listings ranging from around $775,000 to around $2,500,000. Residents of Point Dume Club pay space rent to the park, an amount that varies from home to home but generally is between $1k and $3k/month.

Prices in both parks are of course influenced by market changes and specific home features, but they still offer a far more affordable alternative to traditional oceanfront homes in Malibu. Mobile Homes Malibu was created to help you navigate this unique space, with an insider’s perspective and knowledge.
