Countless Millennials and older Gen Zs grew up wishing they could step into Hannah Montana's multi-colored, best-of-both-worlds life, and to mark the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, Airbnb listed "Hannah Montana’s" Malibu beach house. For the first time, fans can step inside the iconic home on the coastline, discover Hannah’s dream closet and spend a night inside her sparkling world.
As part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, fans can relax by the water, live out their fantasies of turning into a pop star, perform karaoke hits, and replay favorite episodes of Hannah Montana on Disney+.
A limited number of overnight stays at Hannah Montana’s Malibu beach house are available by request, with up to four guests per stay. Although this experience will only be had by a select few, the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
