The house itself is one of a kind full of character, charm, and history that made the experience feel so unique compared to a typical rental. We hosted a 50th birthday party here, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect venue. From the beautiful architecture to the spacious layout, every detail of the mansion made the celebration special and memorable for everyone who attended.On top of that, the host was excellent and very communicative, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. If you’re looking for a property that offers both a stunning setting and an extraordinary experience, the Young Mansion is it. We’ll be talking about this trip for years to come! ##### Chris K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kress W. 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was perfect for our annual Aug Bday bash with family. Knowing that it is a Historical Home will help with expectations of age of the home and we enjoyed that the owners kept that vibe. Yes, there could be some upgrades but, for our group, that was part of the charm and the experience. Had great communication before/during/after the stay.Pros: Lots of room for privacy yet areas for group time (we really enjoyed the large dining table) - location is ideal; between beach and downtown - kitchen had everything you needed for meals (although we were not aware that the working 1/2 of the freezer, in the kitchen, was actually a freezer so we froze all our food, lol) - Pool/bbq area is awesome. Yard areas very relaxing. Pool and ping-pong tables a plus. Cons: 1st upstairs bathroom could use some upgrading (bathtub not working condition/shower has non-working nozzles that just take up shower space) - a bit musty for those with allergies (again, it is part of the charm, just saying...) - staircase & railing could be secured (no sneaking downstairs) - one of the TVs had issues connecting to the weak internet - a bit too easy to NOT leave the house so didn't see as much of Hollywood as planned :)We all would stay again! ##### Kress W.
