Billionaire Larry Ellison is among Malibu homeowners looking for summer tenants.

For $65,000 a month, plus a $35,000 security deposit, one can land a remodeled beach cottage complete with prestigious landlord on famed Carbon Beach. The one-story house sits along 70 feet of beach with an expansive deck and head-on ocean views.

Beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and French doors are among details in the light and bright 2,880 square feet of interior space. A separate family room, a kitchen with an island and commercial grade appliances, a den/office, four bedrooms and four bathrooms are among living areas.

But don’t go door knocking or snooping around. The Oracle Corp. co-founder keeps a tight rein on security along this coveted portion of Pacific Coast Highway, where he has bought two dozen houses over more than a decade.

Among other properties for lease in Malibu are two estates priced at $200,000 a month – neither of which is beachfront. Get ‘em while they’re hot.

Closing at $6.8 million, it is the most expensive sale of a Wright house to date, according to transactions tracked by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.

Set on about a quarter acre, the Mayan Revival-inspired house features the architect’s reinforced concrete-block construction. The textile blocks, as they are known, are patterned with geometric shapes including horizontal bands and crosses.

Built in 1923 for Dr. John Storer, a surgeon from Wisconsin, the distinct property later served as an art colony of sorts. Photographer Brett Weston had a studio there while Pauline Schindler, whose husband was architect Rudolph Schindler, was renting the house.
