The home itself was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Everything felt thoughtfully set up, from the comfortable furniture to the fully equipped kitchen. It really felt like a home away from home. The living area was perfect for unwinding in the evenings, and the outdoor space was a highlight—great for morning coffee or just enjoying the California weather

Host was very welcoming. Honestly, that patio off the house was amazing. Even when it was raining our 4 kids enjoyed sitting out there and just talking with us. We also used the outside kitchen area often too.

I traveled with my 2 adult sons and 7 of my grandchildren (age range 7-13 yrs old). The home had something for everyone. The game room, basketball court kept them busy and entertained our whole time there. The home was clean, welcoming and all the essentials were provided.The host was very communicative, helpful and responsive to all of our needs. I would absolutely reserve this home again.

This is our second time staying in this property because we love the how spacious it is. We had two families share the house and there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Super easy to get in and check out. Very family friendly with plenty of space for the kids to hang. We would return again!

Very nice property. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great. The property has a great recreation area just outside the living quarters with covered BBQ area and great basketball 1/2 court area. The hoop is a little loose but we had fun playing anyway. There is a table tennis area with extra paddles and balls if looking to play multiple players. The gated property with front car parking was nice and you feel very secure. The front gate gave us a little issue getting the key out but found the trick to push in the tumbler then key would come out a little worn for sure. The kitchen is nice but the cleanliness of the dishes and silverware and replacement or supply of items like the dish cleaning sponge for your dishes would be nice. Tried the dishwasher but the soap tablets to put in to wash were very old so we but some cascade tablets and a couple sponges so we could re-wash the dishes and keep are used dishes cleaned while at the property. The Air-conditioned seemed to struggle to cool it off in the afternoons when we came back from the beach so we usually just opened the windows in the evening. The master bath is huge nice shower with rain and multiple heads but could only figure out how to turn on and off the rain feature. A little more how to operate shower, air would be nice to see. Would of given this property a 5 but with some lacking cleanliness and details I would say a 4.7.

This was a wonderful spot to end our vacation! Our kids loved the basketball area and games, as well as the larger bunk beds. We enjoyed the patio and grill every night for dinner. It was a quick drive into the city, but was a nice retreat to a quoet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this for your next stay!

By far 1 of the best VRBO rentals I have rented. Only thing I would change I’d just a personal preference of firmer pillows
