Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse Is Back on Airbnb—& You Won’t Believe Who’s Hosting

Stop what you're doing, because we just found the ultimate Barbiecore destination on Airbnb—and Barbie's partner in crime, Ken, is hosting.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Greta Gerwig's Barbie, Ken is inviting two lucky guests to rent Barbie's newly renovated Malibu DreamHouse on Airbnb, complete with cowboy-themed decor and an outdoor disco dance floor. In a press release, Ken said, “We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them. But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside this one-of-a-kind—dare I say, one-of-a-Ken?—digs.”

Located in the heart of Malibu, California, and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the life-size DreamHouse will be available to book on Airbnb July 17 at 10 a.m. PT. Fans can request to book Ken’s bedroom in the Malibu mansion for two individual one-night stays on July 21 (when Barbie hits theaters) and July 22, 2023. And believe it or not, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be free of charge.

For two guests, the mansion offers one bedroom, one bed and a private bath. This revamped version still has Barbie's signature pink color scheme, but fans will now get an extra dose of "Kenergy" with a few added touches.

Guests will have access to Ken’s impressive wardrobe—complete with his best beach 'fits—the infinity pool, an outdoor gym and Ken’s outdoor disco dance floor. As a bonus, guests will also receive their own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboards.
