A ‘Hannah Montana’ themed Airbnb is now available for rent to fulfill Millennial dreams

“Sweet niblets!”

Fans of the hit Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana” now have a rock star opportunity to live like Miley Stewart, as the iconic Malibu beach house that helped make Miley Cyrus a household name is coming to Airbnb this spring.

In honor of the show’s 20th anniversary, marked by a Disney+ special this week, Airbnb and Disney are teaming up to turn the oceanfront property used for the Stewart family’s exterior shots into a fully immersive rental experience, packed with nods to the series’ memorable moments.

The stays are free, though travelers must cover their own transportation to California. The booking period, which kicked off Thursday at 9 a.m. ET, has sold out.

Lucky fans who snagged a booking will stay in a four-bedroom, five-bath Malibu mansion with five beds during one of 10 one-night stays from April 6 to April 16, complete with stunning ocean views.

“Hannah Montana” aired on Disney Channel from 2006 to 2011, telling the story of a teenager juggling a normal life with her secret identity as a pop superstar, which catapulted Cyrus’ career. The show starred Cyrus alongside her father Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchell Musso and Jason Earles, with high-profile guest stars including Dolly Parton, the Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez.

Even though the show’s interior scenes were filmed on sound stages in Los Angeles, this Airbnb brings Hannah Montana’s world to life. Guests can try on wigs, toy with musical instruments, and use a karaoke setup to belt out hits like “Best of Both Worlds” and “Nobody’s Perfect.”

The space is bursting with color and personality, from patterned wallpapers and framed photos of Hannah to a collection of (fake) gold and platinum albums. Other fun touches include a leopard-print high heel chair, feather boa–framed pinboards and racks of sequined, Hannah-approved outfits.

The crown jewel is the iconic “rotating closet” from the series, with a curved railing that spins at the touch of a button, which is one of the most unforgettable features of Miley Stewart’s teen bedroom. Plus, there’s a clothing rack hanging across the door as a nod to the hidden space behind the closet that Hannah used to keep her pop star identity under wraps.

The rental experience comes alongside the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special,” which premiered Tuesday on Disney+. The one-hour special features Cyrus returning to the series’ set to reflect on the cultural impact of the role that not only shaped her life but also left a lasting impression on millions of millennials.

The series’ music, released alongside the show, helped cement its impact, earning 14 platinum and 18 gold albums worldwide. On Disney+, the “Hannah Montana” catalog has amassed more than half a billion hours of global streaming, according to the streamer.

Last year, Cyrus’ contributions earned her the title of the youngest-ever Disney Legend, an honor given by Disney to individuals who have made a lasting impact on the company’s legacy.
