There’s also an outdoor disco area, perfect for a choreographed dance party with a bespoke song. The real estate firm evaluated the average sale price of comparable homes with similar amenities, and then added a 10% “premium” due to the home’s one-of-a-kind appearance and appeal. “We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” Ken said Monday in a statement. The film was recently in the news as it made "the world run out of pink", while a recent book explored Barbie's Dreamhouse through the ages.

The newly renovated Malibu dream house sports Barbie’s signature pink polish, this time with a revamped Kenergy. As such, there are not only all of the mod-cons you might expect from a Barbie Dreamhouse—an infinity pool, a bar, a home gym with ocean views, and enough pink to put Pepto-Bismol out of business—but a few of Ken’s touches, too. Notably, you can “feel the Kenergy” by trying out the skates and surfboards he might have left around the house. You can channel your inner cowboy with a line dance on the light-up disco dance floor, or simply laze by the pool and top up your Ken-worthy tan.

The ground floor is, by far, the most intricate, pink, and best out of the mansion’s three floors. 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. I got a special, early chance to slide into Ken’s new infinity pool and take Barbie’s pink convertible for a spin.

The living room transforms into an entertainment room, the shower becomes vanity and the ceiling becomes a bunk bed to make room for 4 Barbie sisters to sleep. During the stay here, guests got one-on-one fencing lessons from world-class fencing champion Ibtihaj Muhammad, who has her own “Shero” doll brand launched to honor famous female role models. And the Columbia Memorial Space Center pilot and aerospace engineer Jill Meyers, get a makeover from celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin and a cooking lesson by renowned local chef Gina Clarke-Helm. On the heels of the "Barbie" movie being released in theaters next month, the Mattel plastic doll's dream house is back by demand on Airbnb − but this time, Ken’s hosting.

PT, everyone in Barbie Land can request to book Ken’s room in Barbie’s DreamHouse at airbnb.com/kendreamhouse for two individual one-night stays for up to two guests. Selected winners will stay at the pink mansion in Malibu on July 21 and July 22, free of charge, to indulge in all the Kenergy that revamped beach home has the offer. “With panoramic ocean views and beachy, glamorous decor, the home is a larger-than-life recreation of Barbie’s signature style and hospitality,” added Airbnb.

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 house, which was previously listed by Airbnb for Barbie's 60th anniversary in 2019, has had a recent update to give it more "Kenergy" and mark Barbie making her live-action debut in the Barbie film starring Margot Robbie. Videos and images of a mysterious Barbie house gained attention online Sunday, when a local news helicopter spotted the house from the sky. The house is by El Pescador State Beach in Western Malibu, a beach community known for wealthy residents and high-end homes—neighboring houses to the east and west of the house are estimated to be worth more than $5.2 million, according to Zillow.

I wish I’d invited some friends to throw on the Barbie soundtrack (or some horse noises?) and dance the night away. Fans could stay in Ken’s bedroom for two individual one-night stays for up to two guests each until Friday. Malibu-based luxury real estate company RubyHome, has put the home’s price tag at $10 million — significantly higher than the estimates from the online real estate portals. Estimates from the usual real estate listing sites vary pretty wildly. Zillow gives the home an estimated price tag of $5,347,400, Redfin‘s estimates comes in at $3,491,022, and Realtor.com give the most optimistic estimate at $7,277,000. Obviously, oceanfront property in one of America’s most desired enclaves is going to cost a pretty penny.

She is also working on her first novel, a domestic drama set in rural Regency England. The stays are free of charge, although Airbnb notes that guests will need to arrange their own transportation to and from Malibu. But now, the oceanfront home has been renovated to fully embrace all things pink and Barbie.

The oversized lounge chairs make the space ideal for soaking up some California sun, and the Barbie lifeguard stand and pink umbrellas add to the ambiance. Decking out this Dreamhouse to make it look like Barbie’s Malibu property, as well as bringing on all of these experts and celebrities, is clearly an expensive endeavor for Airbnb. KTLA got to tour the dreamhouse, which was hosted by Ken this time around. 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. It’s important to note that the home isn’t actively for sale and is privately owned, so any speculation about its price is just that.

Other features of the Ken-ified dreamhouse include a cowboy-themed salon, an observation deck with a telescope overlooking the ocean, an outdoor bar and grill, an outdoor gym and a deck with a fire pit. Pacific Time, anyone can request to book Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse on Airbnb. The company will select four lucky guests (two per night) to spend a night at the oceanfront villa for free on July 21 and 22. At the centre of the building, on one of the house's many terraces, guests can make use of an outside disco dance floor in pink, purple and yellow with its own DJ deck. 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.

Photos and memorabilia from the doll’s history will be plastered throughout the space, too. Hanging inside a massive walk-in closet are Barbie-style clothes – including several uniforms that catalog her fashions over the last 60 years. Styles include white cat-eye sunglasses, an astronaut suit, a striped bathing suit, and lots of high heels. In addition to relaxing alongside the infinity pool that boasts uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, the guests will be able to unwind in a stone-clad bathtub with windows that look out over the California hills or spend time painting in Barbie’s hobby room. There are two one-night stays available for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22, so a total of four guests can stay at the house. 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.
