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. Only a few lucky Barbie superfans will get to snooze at the pink-powered seaside property, but these cool Barbiecore finds let you recreate the whimsical experience at home. But for a more accurate guesstimate, it might take the expertise of local real estate experts who are familiar with the homes in the area and what they usually fetch on the open market. The live-action "Barbie" movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is set to hit cinemas on July 21. Guests will be greeted by a concierge upon their arrival, who will show them around and arrange for their meals, per the press release.

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. There’s also an outdoor disco area, perfect for a choreographed dance party with a bespoke song. This isn’t the first time everyday folk have been offered the chance to spend a night or two living like Malibu Barbie. In 2019, the same property was listed on Airbnb for $60 a night to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the brand. This isn’t the first time Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse has popped up on Airbnb.

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.

Introduced in 1959, the Barbie doll has been criticized over the years for promoting unhealthy beauty standards and lacking diversity. Mattel has attempted to address these issues by releasing a wider array of dolls, including, most recently, a Barbie with Down syndrome. Unlike the Barbie Malibu DreamHouse, however, fans didn't get a chance to spend the night.

The Guest Bedroom

The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg is a perfect baby pink, as is The Royal Hawaiian if you have eyes for Oahu. Closer to Venice Beach, where Barbie is bound, is The Beverly Hills Hotel. They don’t call it the “Pink Palace” for nothing—lounge by the pool in a pink-and-white striped cabana, dine on the coral terrace, and generally indulge in your most glamorous fantasies at the storied spot.

Away’s neon pink options for bigger baggage may have already sold out, but their accessories, including the packing cubes, come in a soft petal pink perfect for a toned-down Barbie. SteamLine has some stunning options that make me think of the sewing boxes in which my own sister stored her Barbies back in the day, the best being some pink-and-white striped leather pieces reminiscent of Barbie’s glorious gingham. 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.

The sets in the fictitious town are almost entirely fluorescent pink and thus had caused an international shortage of pink paint. Though it’s technically Barbie’s property, her longtime partner, Ken, is the host, according to the Airbnb listing. And he’s left personal touches like a grill, pool floaties that spell his name and a barrel of workout supplements called “Beefy body brine” for guests to enjoy. 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.

The outdoor deck also has a toy-like sandbox and benches where guests can sunbathe and admire the ocean.

“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.

The brand also makes a cameo in the real-life Barbie DreamHouse, where the hat box can be spotted in Ken’s closet. Airbnb will celebrate the film with a donation to Save the Children to support equal access to learning resources for children, families and communities in over 100 countries. The funds will help “to build girls’ confidence and help them excel in school – ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to achieve success,” per a release.

There's some additional perks for the lucky renter, because staying in Barbie's dream house is a full-fledged Airbnb experience. Features include an infinity pool with views of the beach, a personal cinema, a hobby studio, a sport court, a meditation space, an outdoor dining patio, and a fully-stocked kitchen. The house has a ton of life-size Barbie accessories and splashes of pink in practically every room. 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.

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. 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. "We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them," Ken said. "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."

Lauren Proud, vice-president of global marketing at Rosco, the paint company used by the film, told the Los Angeles Times that the shortage was just in a specific bright pink shade and was part of global, Covid-19 supply chain issues. 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. Mattel has listed its Malibu Dreamhouse to celebrate the doll’s 60th anniversary.

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. 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. "Placed perfectly above the beach with panoramic views, this life-size toy pink mansion is a dream come true!" it reads.
