PICTURE PERFECT minutes to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & HOLLYWOOD: Rated 10/10!!!
Weekly and monthly discounts! *Heated Pool*, free parking and rated 10 out of 10 by Guests: 1951 charm meets the 2020s - welcome to Sherman Oaks, California. Updated and redecorated, this ultra-clean, private home sleeps 6 comfortably. Great for relaxing and sunning with pool, big patio table & chaise loungers. Super comfy beds with fluffy comforters & plenty of soft towels in the baths. Gourmet kitchen and a coffee station too. Enjoy the peaceful environment while being close to all the fun stuff L.A. has to offer. Early check-in often OK; just text me.
NOTE: Home is 2 main streets from trendy Ventura Blvd and very freeway on/offramp close - compare to other listings that are further north... being south is preferable in this neighborhood.
King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors.
Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains. If you're traveling without a car and need to get somewhere fast, I'm usually available for a quick shuttle service!! If you do have a car, there's plenty of parking. Check Metro.net for public transportation.

*$15-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed at all in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!
As noted in other sections of this listing: I LIVE ON THE PROPERTY IN A SEPARATE/PRIVATE GUEST UNIT IN THE BACK THAT IS ACCESSED VIA THE DRIVEWAY (the driveway runs along the side of the dining room and kitchen windows). The entire house, pool and backyard are all yours; the back half of the driveway and my house are gated and fenced for privacy for both of us.
Located in Sherman Oaks, this holiday home is near theme parks. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach, while Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theater are cultural highlights. Check out an event or a game at L.A.

We had an awesome stay and Andy was extremely communicative and helpful before, during, and after our stay. Perfect location for LA attractions, grocery store, and restaurants, and the pool was great for evening relaxation. Would 100% stay again!
This by far was the best experience my wife and I have ever had where we need to rent a home! Andy has thought of every little detail! We could not have been any happier! The home is in a very quiet little subdivision in Sherman Oaks and convenient to everything you would need. If you’re not from the area, Andy is there to help you find what you need! We like this home so much we are staying here again in May!l
Andy is an amazing host and has the best home for a family vacation. It had everything we need, Andy thought of every possible detail. And the location is within a short drive to all of the tourist locations. We will definitely book with him in the future
Really nice property. Andy the host was awesome and easy to communicate with. The property was well appointed, close to great restaurants, shopping & entertainment. The neighborhood was quiet & we had a restful stay.
The house and property are kept in excellent condition. It has all the amenities and comes well stocked with everything you need. We had a great time in LA and this house made it feel like home.
Andy's house had everything we needed and was exactly as described in the listing. Had plenty of space for myself, my husband and our two kids. Hope to stay there again in the future.
First, Andy, the property owner, was very welcoming and accommodating. The property was elegantly designed, clean, and equipped with many extra amenities. The location was convenient to shopping and attractions.
What a beautiful and comfortable home. Super clean and absolutely perfectly equipped. Andy is a great host and is very responsive and at the same time respectful of our privacy. Absolutely a 5 star experience.
Well-appointed property with all of the supplies you would ever need. Andy the owner was always quick to respond. Beautifully landscaped with private backyard pool. Whole foods one block away. We will be back!
We are a local family of 4 who needed to relocate for a few days during filming in our home. This property was perfect! It was so cute, cozy, clean, comfortable and in the most convenient location! Close to everything. The host was so sweet and communication was great. Will definitely stay here next time we need to relocate.
We keep coming back to this property. It is the perfect place for us to stay while visiting family where we can all gather under one roof to make meals, catch up and feel at home. This is a great location in a safe neighborhood with everything we need. We will be back again.
Andy was an incredible host, from checking in with us before we got there to find out what we needed to anticipating what we needed after we got there. I came for a surgery so we spent all our time recovering at this beautiful house. The neighborhood is charming and you couldn’t possibly want anything more. The back yard and pool are an oasis of relaxation. There is a Whole Foods literally right down the street so you can get food and the stove is something a master chef could appreciate! We loved staying at this house and will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves in this area!
First off Andy is absolutely amazing his place is Amazing everything you need is there!! Not far from LAX. Great neighborhood!! We had an amazing time after disney to unwind. Close by lots of grocery stores and restaurants. Very clean and looks just like the pictures. Would definitely recommend staying there we will definitely be back.
Andy, our landlord, did an incredible job creating a warm, well-equipped, very attractive 2-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow even providing a book about the builder of this of this charming 1951 house. Located conveniently near to grocery stores, restaurants and freeways. The neighborhood was very quiet.Andy was speedy in texting answers to our questions And offering helpful suggestions It was a wonderful relaxing vacation thanks to our stay.
If you're looking to have a wonderful retreat to come home to at the end of a day sightseeing, day at the beach, shopping, or experiencing Universal, this place is perfect!! The home is a gorgeously decorated, cozy bungalow in a beautiful neighborhood with ease of access to busy streets and major highways alike. The host, Andy, could not be more accommodating and easy to work with. I truly believe he's as interested in you having an enjoyable, relaxing time as you are - not always the case with other hosts. You need not look further than this wonderful spot!!
I can’t think of a single thing that could have made our stay here more perfect.
Andy is a great host…responsive and kind.
The house itself was beautiful, immaculately maintained, but not so much that we felt we couldn’t “live” for the week.
The heated pool was absolutely lovely.
The location of the house to all the things we had on our vacation agenda was perfect. It was incredibly easy to get around the city with this as our starting point.
Amenities galore…the home was well stocked with all the basics we needed and then some. We appreciated all the little extra touches.
We will definitely return! Thanks so much!
An exceptional experience from start to finish. Our stay was perfect, our host outstanding and every part of the trip magical. This property is perfect for a family (we are a family of four with two kids, 9 and 10) or even for a couple looking for a getaway in Los Angeles. It is worth every penny and we truly felt like treasured guests. The amenities in every room are thoughtful and considered. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and comfortable, the pool and loungers are a welcome respite and the home is absolutely charming. In particular, the bed linens felt quite luxurious. Andy is a remarkable host: upfront, communicative, helpful, incredibly responsive and most of all, kind. This includes communication with the host leading up to our stay which was helpful beyond measure. You simply won’t find a better place to stay in LA that provides such a fantastic overall experience. We look forward to a return trip as soon as possible.
Sherman Oaks is a hidden gem and Andy's home was wonderful! We went to Southern California for a family vacation visiting Universal Studios and a college tour of UCLA. Universal was a quick $15 to $20 Uber ride away, much less $$ and stress than trying to park. UCLA is also about 20 minutes away. Andy's home was perfect for our family of 4. The teenagers had room to spread out on their own, my daughter did not want to leave! The pool was wonderful, we paid exactly what it cost to heat it. Grocery stores were close nearby and the kitchen had everything we needed to make some family meals. Andy was on sight in the guest house in the back, but he was very respectful of our privacy and did not intrude at all. Although we did speak with him a few times and he was a delight! Thank you Andy for sharing your beautiful house with us!
This gem of a house is lovingly, meticulously refurbished and cared for by its owner and host, Andy. Inside and out, it is beautifully detailed, completely comfortable, and has new major appliances, a chef's range, coffee station, a Nest thermostat, etc. Pristine landscaping and a clean, private pool are icing on the cake.It's more important to note that Andy is a superb host and an even better person. My family rented his home when my mother and her caregiver needed to evacuate during the Palisades fire. We didn't know how long it would be before she might (or might not) move back home. Not only was Andy sweet, extremely helpful and accommodating to the ladies as guests, he also worked with us to keep a roof over their heads during this stressful time. He communicated fluidly and graciously allowed us to take it day by day as we needed. For all of his help, patience and understanding, we are extremely grateful.
Probably the best place I have rented. Beyond the place being amazing with a great location, Andy thought of everything. It really felt like home and all the essentials were there and then some. 100% recommend and would stay again!
