From ‘Baywatch’ to Bath Watch: Pamela Anderson’s Intriguing Malibu Home Is for Rent

Q: How do you know you’re living in a home owned by Pamela Anderson?

A: There’s at least one bedroom with a bathtub in it.

It isn’t a trick question. In her Malibu home that’s available for rent, there’s a bathtub in the bedroom—not in the bathroom. For some reason, once the buxom actress/designer gets her hands on a property, she goes from “Baywatch” to “Bath Watch,” installing freestanding tubs in the master bedroom.

Her Malibu Colony house with this distinctive layout is looking for a tenant. You, too, can saunter from the bed, bath, and beyond without having to fiddle with any bothersome doorknobs—if you’re willing to pay $50,000 a month.

Of course there are other advantages to living in this luxe beach house. Remodeled in 2013, the property includes a main house and a guesthouse, separated by an outdoor pool. There are a total of five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The overall design is airy and classic Malibu. It comes furnished. There’s also a white piano, crystal chandeliers, and hardwood flooring  throughout the home.

The kitchen is open and has slab stone countertops; a dining island; and high-end stainless-steel appliances, including a built-in espresso machine and a glass-front refrigerator.

The bedrooms in the main house feature private decks. Teak decks abound in back, where you’ll find a covered patio, fire pit, fireplace, and hot tub.

The property doesn’t look like much from the street, but these Malibu beach houses hardly ever do—it’s part of their allure. It also doesn’t sit directly on the beach, although there are beach views from the second story.

There are also golf course views from the bedrooms and decks. The compound is walled and very private, which is understandable, since Anderson has surely had her share of gawkers, stalkers, and paparazzi trying to peer in.

Anderson purchased the property in 2008 for $1.8 million, and spent so much remodeling it that she confessed she was in debt. As a result of the cash crunch, she listed it in 2013 for $7.75 million. She eventually took it off the market—perhaps realizing that she could earn tens of thousands of dollars per month renting it out.

The Canadian-born actress and former Playboy Playmate is best known for the TV series “Baywatch,” “Home Improvement,” and “V.I.P.” She was married to rocker Tommy Lee, with whom she had two sons.
