Obviously, oceanfront property in one of America’s most desired enclaves is going to cost a pretty penny. But a gaudy manor inspired by the stylistic choices of a fashionista children’s doll is a bit of an unprecedented sale. The bed leans against a wall covered in pink and white patterned wallpaper, while cowboy hats hang above the headboard. The listing is offering two, one-night stays on July 21 and 22 for two guests. The Airbnb will be available for bookings on July 17, and it will cost $0 to stay.
Barbie lists Malibu Dreamhouse on Airbnb
Mattel has listed its Malibu Dreamhouse to celebrate the doll’s 60th anniversary. Mattel ran a fictional listing of Barbie’s Malibu Dream House in 2013 on Trulia, including a legitimate real estate agent for the campaign. Airbnb announced it is giving away a pair of one-night stays next month at the Dream House, which is privately owned and operated and not normally used for Airbnb rentals, the company said.

Finally, we head up the steps to the top floor, which has a gorgeous view of the ocean. Ken’s telescope will give you a closer look at the wonders beyond the DreamHouse. The doll’s gym sits atop the house, with equipment that is perpetually in motion—the basketball is always in the net, the dumbbells already lifted. Airbnb announced Tuesday that two lucky guests will get to stay in the newly revamped Dreamhouse "in all its Kendom glory."

The infinity pool flows out, rolling over the hills, and—if you squint—it appears to be part of the ocean. Those “KEN” balloons spotted in Airbnb’s original listing were gone by the time I visited, but a mass of floaties tumbled around in the water instead. A pink slide spirals into the pool, but it comes just short of the actual water. If you were to slide down, you’d land on your butt; in the movie, Barbie floats down and walks on top of the water. A life-size replica of Barbie’s hot pink house in Malibu, California, will be available to book for two individual one-night stays this summer, Airbnb announced June 26. The large oceanfront house features a pink bedroom decorated with cowhide rugs, cowboy hats and horse-printed throws as well as a closet from which guests can borrow Ken's fringed cowboy shirts and his guitar.
The upcoming Greta Gerwig film has reignited the interest in all things hot pink. Barbiecore isn't just on the runway — it has also inspired the interior decor of houses and even vintage campers. Up to two guests can stay in the home each night, but they're responsible for their own travel to and from Malibu if they're out of state, per the Airbnb press release.

Below, shop some of the official movie merch and other popular pink picks inspired by the film, and don’t forget to set your alarm for July 17 at 10 a.m. “We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” ‘Ken’ said via press release. Earlier this month, Airbnb revealed that guests can sign up to stay at the life-sized doll house, free of charge, as part of a promotion by Mattel. Ken’s rollerblades rest somewhere on the disco ball-lit dance floor—maybe I’d try those on too, if I wasn’t so afraid I’d fall and crack my head open. I wish I’d invited some friends to throw on the Barbie soundtrack (or some horse noises?) and dance the night away. Inside the bedroom—which only has one free-standing door, a saloon-esque entryway painted with horses—Ken has really let his western flag fly.

Replay that speedboat scene IRL with Funboy’s official Barbie the Movie pool float, part of the inflatable accessories brand’s collection of film-inspired summer essentials that includes swimwear, beach towels and more. Margot Robbie was recently spotted toting SteamLine Luggage’s retro carry-on suitcase ($550) and hat box in very on-brand powder pink while promoting Barbie in her native Australia. The brand also makes a cameo in the real-life Barbie DreamHouse, where the hat box can be spotted in Ken’s closet.
More From Our Brands
As the film’s producers told Architectural Digest, Barbie and her wardrobe are not necessarily constrained by the material laws of object permanence. This is not the case for the rest of us—your clothes need to be packed if you want them to come with you. Perhaps a number or two from the new Béis x Barbie The Movie luggage collection, which drops July 19 in tandem with the movie's release?

Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse will be available to book for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22, 2023, with bookings opening on 17 July.
The weekend coincides with the cinema premiere of the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. On 17 July, fans can request to book Ken’s room in Barbie’s DreamHouse here. While the property comes with amenities such as WiFi and air-conditioning, it has no kitchen or TV, per the Airbnb listing. Unlike the Barbie Malibu DreamHouse, however, fans didn't get a chance to spend the night.
Cowboy hats sit in a crown above the still-Barbie pink velvet bed, though a new cow-print duvet rests upon the mattress. Barbie’s vanity has been invaded by cologne (engraved with the year 1961, when Mattel released the Ken doll), Ken’s plastic keys, and other fun trinkets. Outside, Ken (who’s not there, but he’s left a bunch of his stuff behind) is grilling some plastic chicken and steak on his fake barbecue. A human-sized barbecue is also tucked into the pink outdoor oasis, which is less decorated than the open-air bedroom right beside the patio. The overnight stays are timed to the July 21 release of the “Barbie” movie, which stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. The company also says “everyone in Barbie Land” can request to book Ken’s room in the Malibu DreamHouse beginning July 17 at 10 a.m.
Bookings for two, one-night stays for up to two guests begin July 17 at 10 a.m. The closet is full of Ken's clothes, including cowboy jackets and printed shirts, photos show. The Malibu DreamHouse will be available to book for two separate, overnight stays for up to two people on July 21 and July 22, 2023.

The home features a disco dance floor, a bar and grill, an infinity pool, a roller rink and a gym. In the upcoming movie Barbie, the eponymous doll will leave Barbieland to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Upon hearing of her impending absence, it would appear, Ken has put her house up for rent on Airbnb. Indeed, the latest development in Barbiecore's snowballing invasion of our lives is the arrival of a Barbie-owned, Ken-hosted Malibu DreamHouse on the home rental service.
Other details that nod to Ken's takeover include a Western-style swing door, decorated with an image of a horse and the words "Kendom Saloon", and a crossed-out "Barbie" sign above the outdoor kitchen that now reads "Ken". Kodak’s Printomatic digital camera — in chic Barbie-inspired pink — instantly prints out your memories on ink-free Zink photo paper.
The Airbnb becomes available to book beginning on 17 July, days before the highly anticipated Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig featuring stars including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae and Simu Liu releases. The internet has kept a consistent excitement for the movie’s release since last summer when photos of Robbie and Gosling wearing matching neon outfits and rollerblades entered the ether. To celebrate the release, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Save the Children, an organization providing learning resources and support to children, families and communities in support of girls’ confidence. Airbnb users will soon have the opportunity to live in a Barbie world.
