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!

The pool and spa were fantastic, and we all really enjoyed them. The seating areas around the pool were also lovely. The accommodation was great for us (2 adults and 2 teens) and we found it very comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The Hawaiian themed decor is great and adds a special feeling to the rental. We found the location great for spending quiet time by the pool and for heading out to see the sights. Thanks so much for a lovely stay! ##### Jessica C.

Any questions we had were answered quickly. House has everything you need for your stay.I felt like I was at home. Neighborhood is very nice and quiet. Yard amenities are very relaxing . House was very clean and spacious. Location was great for going to must tourist locations. Be prepared to think your are at a resort. I would definitely vacation here again. ##### Rich G.

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.
