On July 21 and 22, while everyone else is out watching Barbie (sorry, Oppenheimer) you could be actually living that all-pink-everything lifestyle.

Airbnb has turned a coastal mansion into Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse and is hosting one-night bookings in a bedroom that’s overflowing with “Kenergy.” And unlike a similar $60 stay in the house in 2019, this time around it’s completely free—and all about the film’s Ryan Gosling version of Ken.

Not to be confused with the viral pink-and-purple beachfront house in Santa Monica, you’ll find this mansion up PCH in western Malibu. The very-pink hillside house sports a swimming pool and hot tub, water slide, outdoor disco dance floor and plenty of patio space with ocean views. Though you’ll have access to tons of exterior amenities, you won’t be booking the entire interior. Instead, the Airbnb reservation is specifically for Ken’s room, a horse boy fantasy (there’s literally a full-size stallion sculpture) with saloon-style doors and a cowboy-inspired wardrobe (you’ll actually be able to take a small piece of that home: yellow-and-pink Impala rollerblades and surfboards).

As for the booking details, the Airbnb reservations will open on Monday, July 17 at 10am PDT. There are only two, one-night stays available for up to two guests on July 21 and 22—so you’ll need to get your booking request in and then cross your fingers. The stay is totally free though you’ll need to pay for your own travel to the house.

“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” said Ken in a very-real statement. “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.”

For the vast majority of us who won’t be able to live out our Ken dreams, we’ll have to settle for seeing Barbie, the Greta Gerwig-directed, Noah Baumbach and Gerwig-written film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling that releases on July 21.
