The home previously was listed on Airbnb in October 2019 for $60 a night for Barbie’s 60th anniversary. The recent relisting adds to an already extensive marketing campaign for Barbie, director Greta Gerwig’s live-action film, which will premiere in theaters next month with a $100 million budget. Airbnb is also making a one-time donation to Save the Children, a non-profit organization, “to build girls’ confidence and help them excel in school,” according to Airbnb. A few years ago, the Malibu DreamHouse was listed on Airbnb and it’s now back on the vacation rental site in celebration of the Barbie live-action film release on July 21.

Airbnb announced Monday that the hot-pink, beach-side mansion inspired by the toy home of the same name will be available to book for a limited time next month — with a twist. 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. Take a closer look above and you’ll see a pair of white cat-eye sunnies peeking out from the DreamHouse closet. Get the designer version with Versace’s white feline-inspired sunglasses, which are on sale for over 50 percent off right now. 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.

The mega mansion has gotten an all-pink revamp and there’s a surprising twist this time around—Barbie’s beau Ken’s playing “Airbnb host” while she’s away making her film debut. I got a special, early chance to slide into Ken’s new infinity pool and take Barbie’s pink convertible for a spin. The slide led to a fake, toy-styled pool, and the “convertible” was really just a golf cart that led me up a long, winding hill past the gates and into Barbie’s dream world. 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. Pacific Time, anyone can request to book Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse on Airbnb.

You Can Now Stay in a Real-Life, Hot-Pink Barbie Dreamhouse in Malibu

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. It may be a little pricey, but worth it if you’d like to also spend some time in the Kendom. Just like Ken is more than just beach, this rental is more than just a pool. In fact, you’ll want to bring along a Barbiecore outfit so you look your best while capturing content by the pool, at the gym, or lounging in Ken’s room. Some of Barbie's clothing, including the iconic high-heeled pink shoe with a fluffy feather decoration from the movie, also hang in the closet.

The rooftop gym has Beefy Body Brine, which was a prop from the film and used by all the manly Kens. You can workout like the Kens up there when you’re not swimming, or just enjoy the views with a telescope for stargazing. If you’re rental happens when the sun does go down, you’ll want to hang out on the outdoor disco dance floor.

Barbie’s Dream House Is Available to Rent on Airbnb, and Yes, It’s in Malibu

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. Sent every Tuesday and containing a selection of the most important news highlights. Sent every Thursday and featuring a selection of the best reader comments and most talked-about stories. The company will make a one-time donation to the charity Save the Children in celebration of the Barbie movie. "All stays will be free of charge – because Ken couldn't figure out how to put a price on Barbie's Malibu DreamHouse – after all, Ken's thing is beach, not math!" Airbnb said.

When you first arrive, you’ll see a hot pink slide that looks just like the one in Robbie’s Architectural Digest tour of Barbie’s DreamHouse. Robbie said the slide was her “favorite design feature” of the Barbie DreamHouse in the film, and the one in the Malibu house is also a highlight — even if you can’t go down it. It has a faux pool at the bottom because there is “no water in Barbie Land.” There is water IRL, though, which is why you’ll want to spend all your time in the infinity pool. On July 21, Airbnb opened the doors to Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse for lucky fans in honor of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

There are cowboy hats lining the walls above the round bed, which looks just like the one in the movie. You’ll also find tons of clothes from the film in Barbie’s wardrobe, including Ken’s black Western shirt that looks like Jimin from BTS’, his white fur coat, and the pink heel from the iconic Barbie foot scene from the trailer. After you see the movie, you’ll be able to spot even more nods to film hidden in the decor. The Barbie Malibu house really feels like you’re playing with a DreamHouse and you’re the doll.

Naturally, the bookings will take place on July 21 and July 22 to coincide with the movie premiere. Your host will be none other than Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken—so expect to find a few of his favorite things. The Dreamhouse also has a bright-pink outdoor lounging area, an outdoor gym – complete with a barrel filled with "beefy body brine" –  a pink outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and an infinity pool.

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. Guests can enjoy nearby activities such as shopping, surfing and roller blading on the boardwalk, and will also get to take home their own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboard. 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".

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. The real-life version of Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is available for a limited number of overnight stays this summer on Airbnb — and while Barbie is busy promoting the upcoming “Barbie” movie, Ken is taking over hosting duties.
