Mattel ran a fictional listing of Barbie’s Malibu Dream House in 2013 on Trulia, including a legitimate real estate agent for the campaign. Airbnb announced it is giving away a pair of one-night stays next month at the Dream House, which is privately owned and operated and not normally used for Airbnb rentals, the company said. Mattel has listed its Malibu Dreamhouse to celebrate the doll’s 60th anniversary. Only a few lucky Barbie superfans will get to snooze at the pink-powered seaside property, but these cool Barbiecore finds let you recreate the whimsical experience at home. Drift off in the Up house – Sleep inside one of Disney and Pixar’s most iconic homes—and yes, it floats.

The film was recently in the news as it made "the world run out of pink", while a recent book explored Barbie's Dreamhouse through the ages. Ken’s rollerblades rest somewhere on the disco ball-lit dance floor—maybe I’d try those on too, if I wasn’t so afraid I’d fall and crack my head open. I wish I’d invited some friends to throw on the Barbie soundtrack (or some horse noises?) and dance the night away. Outside, Ken (who’s not there, but he’s left a bunch of his stuff behind) is grilling some plastic chicken and steak on his fake barbecue. A human-sized barbecue is also tucked into the pink outdoor oasis, which is less decorated than the open-air bedroom right beside the patio. “We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” Ken said Monday in a statement.

The large oceanfront house features a pink bedroom decorated with cowhide rugs, cowboy hats and horse-printed throws as well as a closet from which guests can borrow Ken's fringed cowboy shirts and his guitar. Make core memories with Inside Out 2 – In anticipation of the June 14 release of Disney and Pixar’s new movie Inside Out 2, you’re invited to an overnight stay at Headquarters, the control center of Riley’s emotions. Your host, Joy, will welcome you into her vibrant world to witness the emotions in action and help keep things in balance.

You’ll stay in a one-of-a-kind gaming loft that Khaby designed himself, where you’ll #learnfromkhaby and face off with him in a Fortnite Battle Royale.

Many of the Airbnb icons will offer exclusive experiences to go along with the stay. Guests who stay in Prince’s Purple Rain house will be able to listen to rare and special from the musician; while a stay at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, Italy includes a lap around a track with a professional driver. One experience will see a guest joining Kevin Hart for an evening at his members-only Coramino Live Lounge; and another includes a private living room performance from Doja Cat. Competing against each other, each design team had one week to complete their area of the house, which had to include a "toyetic" feature − a component that could be found in a toy dollhouse, like a mini-elevator. Each team also competed on behalf of a Barbie superfan, and at the end of the series, the winning team's fan won a four-day, three-night stay inside the house.

As record-low mortgage rates made homebuying significantly more affordable, an imbalance of home supply versus buyer demand meant that the few homes made available were quickly bid above their listing price. This resulted in US home prices skyrocketing to never-before-seen highs. A new report from Corelogic identifies how much Barbie's iconic Dreamhouse —  if it were real — has appreciated in 20 markets across the country since its debut in 1962.

"Barbie You Can Be Anything" has been one of Mattel's big collections in recent years so many of the interactive experiences played into that. When you enter, the first place you walk through is Barbie's living room. And yes, those "toyetic" features showed off in the series actually do work.

Following the success of ventures like the Barbie Malibu DreamHouse, the company is now introducing a permanent category called “Icons,” featuring partnerships with brands and celebrities that promise unforgettable experiences.

On this particular Wednesday, the crowd was diverse — much like Barbie nowadays. There were several moms with their kids, some groups spanning four generations. (Some even had professional photographers trailing them around the space.) There were several people, women and men, dressed as Barbie themselves. By the end of my visit, I saw every age, gender and race represented in the crowd. The World of Barbie is an immersive experience in Los Angeles where fans get to celebrate the many career and lifestyle iterations of the iconic doll. I took my Barbie obsessed 4-year-old daughter, and even though she'll be too young to enjoy the upcoming fantastical comedy Barbie, it turns out no one is too young (or old) to have some fun in Barbie's world.

The center stone is a stunning square-cut, 1-carat rare pink diamond that was found in Australia’s Argyle mine, and it’s set in a choker comprised of white diamonds. Plus—because when you’re all in, you’re all in—this Barbie is also sporting a diamond ring. As noted, Airbnb also gave folks a preview of what its Up House Icons experience will look like. Airbnb’s Up house, located in Abiquiu, New Mexico, was built from scratch, and every detail in the home, including its color palette, proportionally accurate chairs, and movie-accurate Adventure book, was hand-painted. The 40,0000-pound house is also attached to a crane that suspends it 50ft in the air.

You’ll explore Carl’s world in this detailed re-creation of his home, complete with more than 8,000 balloons, and located in the scenic red rocks of Abiquiu, New Mexico. The same floor also houses two more bedrooms, a full shared bathroom, and an additional multipurpose room currently configured as a dressing room. One floor up and the main bedroom suite has sweeping harbour views taking in Manly and The Heads, as well as a built-in wardrobe and a bath ensuite with twin vanities.

A new crop of listings from Airbnb might have you making some tweaks to your bucket list. Locations will vary, with several experiences across the U.S., and others overseas in Italy and France. To kick off Icons, four thousand lucky Airbnb app users who find ‘golden tickets’ will then be asked to answer questions about their passion for travel and what their connection to a particular “Icon” is. For Airbnb, these extravagant stays are a strategic move to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive market, drawing attention away from controversies like hidden costs and community disruption. When queried about plumbing and electricity, Airbnb assured skeptics that the house is “fully functional,” connected to generators and utilities that will be seamlessly managed before and after its flight. "I think we're all here because we appreciate Barbie's legacy. She's timeless," he told us.

You’ll enjoy an unforgettable living room performance from the Grammy-winning artist, including her favorite songs and tracks from her latest album. Wake up in the Musée d’Orsay – Stay in the Paris art museum’s iconic clock room, which has been transformed into a luxurious bedroom by Mathieu Lehanneur, designer of the Paris 2024 Games torch and cauldron. From the terrace, you’ll witness the historic Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games along the River Seine. The travel and tech firm is launching an 'Icons' program, letting users book a visit to a comedy show with Kevin Hart, a night at the Ferrari museum, or a stay in fictional locales.

Splashed with pink from the candy-inspired front door to the soft furnishings, the Etham Ave property is a sophisticated yet eclectic Barbie Dream House with oodles of personality both inside and out. “I just love colour and I really love my house, so does my daughter, my grandchildren and my dogs. Owner Sue Ingham, daughter of late chicken farming magnate Jack Ingham, said it was love at first sight when house hunting with her daughter Jess 15 years ago. Carpenter’s time in Athens also included speaking to other classes and meeting with the faculty and staff at the Scripps College of Communication, including Dean Scott Titsworth. During Airbnb’s 2024 Summer Release Event, the vacation company revealed that it was able to transform a house that looked exactly like Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in New Castle, New York, into a cartoon-like experience. Along with nostalgic accessories like translucent bags and cat-eye sunglasses, the limited-edition collection includes 12 footwear styles.

"We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them," Ken said. "But now, it's my turn, and I can't wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs." Inside the bedroom—which only has one free-standing door, a saloon-esque entryway painted with horses—Ken has really let his western flag fly.

In the front living room, four large windows of multicolored plexiglass feature Barbie silhouettes. The windows cast a kaleidoscope of color into the space to nearly religious effect, as if we're standing in a Barbie chapel adorned with stained-glass depictions of her legacy. “When the sun rises, it’s literally like Barbie shining her light down on everyone," Valencia says.
