If You Can't Sell It, Lease It

OWNER: David Spade
LOCATION: Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA
PRICE: $65,000/month
SIZE: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms
DESCRIPTION: Amazing architectural beach house on sandy La Costa beach with a beautiful pool and private patios available for seasonal rental. Unmatched design and comfort at the beach!

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Spring has sprung and all those people who still have money to burn on summer rentals have started to scour the streets and shores of Malee-boo and the Hamptons. Given the rather rough state of the economy, Your Mama imagines renters will be asking for some seriously steep discounts.

But that isn't stopping home owners from asking for big numbers. For example, itty bitty comedian David Spade (who reportedly gets all the ladees with his not so itty bitty spade) has put his ocean front crib on sandy La Costa beach up for a summer lease with an asking price of $65,000 per month.

It's perhaps not surprising given that Mister Spade wants to let out his daintily decorated beach house given that he had the place up for sale in the summer of 2007 with an exuberant asking price of $16,000,000.

Listing information reveals that in addition to 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, sixty-five grand a month in Malee-boo gets a rich renter garage parking for two cars, 4 fireplaces, a small swimming pool on the highway side of the house, a spa and a sauna for sweating out the booze toxins, a glassed in sun porch, an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with high ceilings, Shabby Chic day-core, wide-plank wood floors, a big daddy Viking range and French doors that open to a large deck facing the roiling Pacific Ocean.
