We miss it already: hummingbirds, parrots squawking above, Gigantica bird of paradise, views of foliage and San Gabriel mountains, spa, perfect pool and patio set up. The kids spent hours and hours swimming in the pool fit for mermaids. The stars come out at night, the patio aglow with tiki torches. Magical! The hosts and their dogs are a real joy to visit with. Thank you for the peaceful get-away! We highly recommend visiting The Huntington, Octavia’s Bookshelf, Millie’s for breakfast…and Grocery Outlet for groceries. Disneyland was also a snap to get to! My 11 year old would like anyone who stays to rescue honey bees caught in the pool. That was her constant project. ![Hot tub / spa ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7ab7433b-b094-44b2-99bf-96f69f819137-1748979175447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Gigantica Bird of Paradise flowers in bloom where hummingbirds and other birds feed](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a6161de3-908e-4396-80d5-4eea362ea36b-1748979186024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Gigantica Bird of Paradise ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48146bbe-3aa7-40b0-8874-ae7c6c7feb0a-1748979169962.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of San Gabriel Mountains, healing from fire ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/566b0cf1-10c4-4f8c-b654-7a62bca5247d-1748979174868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janie Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer M. 12 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome spot to chill This is the ultimate place to chill and relax with family/friends.

First time staying at a VRBO with host onsite. But you would never know it. Lofted cabana poolside is as quiet and private as you can get. Comfortable, clean with all necessary amenities. Plus, the decor is an ode to the obvious love of all things Hawaiin. The theme extends poolside with the tikis and flickering lights AND the surrounding plants. Super quiet neighbor yet close to everything. If we get back to Pasadena, we'll be coming back here. Perfect long weekend!! Thanks Jama. ##### Kris B.

The private pool and lovely landscaped patio offer a relaxing space to hang out. The beds were comfy, the kitchen efficient, the host helpful with restaurant recommendations. It's a little challenging for an adult to sleep in the upstairs loft as the only bathroom is downstairs which requires using some stairs and going outside a few steps on the patio to access the entrance door. ##### Katherine B.

We had a nice secluded area with a pool, hot tub, tiki torches and several gas fireplaces to enjoy. It was in a beautiful historical neighborhood of Pasadena. Plenty of good pathways for walking and interesting architectural to view as you walk. We were here visiting our son who lives at Atwater Village and it was close enough that we could see him, The property provided a good getaway after hectic days of running. The host is very friendly and attended to all of our needs. The studio was stocked with everything that you could want. TV was easy to use air conditioner worked well. We would highly recommend this place to any one who wanted to be in the Pasadena area. ##### Barbara E. Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2024 ---
