Inside Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse, up for rent on Airbnb: Ken has ‘taken over’ the replica pink toy mansion – complete with a disco dance floor, cowboy-themed salon, infinity pool and ‘Barbie-cue’
Come on, Barbie, let’s go party – at the real-life Malibu Dreamhouse.
“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” Ken said in a statement.
“But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs.”
Starting July 17 at 10am 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 July 22.
According to a press release, “Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse – after all, Ken’s thing is beach, not math!”
The listing welcomes guests to take “a spin through Ken’s awesome wardrobe to find their best beach fit”. They are encouraged to channel “their inner cowboy” while participating in “a line dance or two on Ken’s outdoor disco dance floor”, challenge each other to a “beach off”, sunbathe by the infinity pool and take home “a piece of Kendom” by leaving with a set of rollerblades and surfboards.
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.
“There’s so much stuff to do [at the Dreamhouse] – some days, I’m not sure what to do first,” his profile reads.
“I mean, do you catch waves before or after firing up the grill? And how do you know when to visit the horses? Anyway, I’m excited for you to stay the night so you can do it all and more!”
This isn’t the first time Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse has popped up on Airbnb. In October 2019, the residence was briefly available to rent for US$60 a night.
