Nothing says nostalgia quite like reminiscing about your old toys. And now, you can allow your inner-child to squeal over the fact that a life-size reproduction of Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse has been created — and you can stay in it.
Yes, you read that correctly. Barbie girls can now live in a real Barbie world in honor of the brand’s 60th Anniversary. According to People, one lucky fan (and three friends) will be given the opportunity to rent out the house for a two night stay — from Sunday, October 27 to Tuesday, October 29 — for just $60 a night (plus fees and taxes).
Life in plastic, it’s fantastic!
The iconic dollhouse now stands majestically in the heart of Malibu, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and all the pink amenities your heart desires (yes, the hot pink slide has been recreated).
The house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a movie theater, meditation area, sports court, hobby studio, infinity pool, fully-stocked kitchen and more.
There’s even a life-sized version of Barbie’s glorious walk-in closet, which is reportedly massive, according to Today. The contents of the closet won’t disappoint, featuring some of Barbie’s best outfits from 60 years of careers and style-iconography.
The perks
The listing reveals that the four lucky guests will also receive a meet-and-greet with celebrity hairstylist, Jen Atkin, along with hair makeovers from hairstylists from Mane Addicts Creator Collective.
Moreover, they’ll receive one-on-one fencing lesson with Ibtihaj Muhammad, the incredibly talented US Olympian fencer who became the first Muslim-American woman to wear a hijab while competing (Muhammad has her very own Barbie).
And if that isn’t enough, guests will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Columbia Memorial Space Center by pilot and aerospace engineer Jill Meyers along with their own cooking lesson with Gina Clarke-Helm of Malibu Seaside Chef.
A dream come true
The New York Post‘s Hannah Spark reports that Airbnb will also make a donation to the Barbie Dream Gap Project GoFundMe initiative, which “aims to encourage young girls to pursue any career path they choose and increase the representation of women in all fields.”
So go ahead and cross your fingers because it’s hard not to dream of lucking out over this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And it might actually feel like you’re dreaming because, at the conclusion of the winners’ stay, the house will return to its regular Airbnb listing status (sans Barbie décor).
