Loved the house it reminded us of Italy!! House and pool were amazing. Loved how close it was to Legoland. Look forward to renting it again in the near future!
The home was all we needed for a family of 2 seniors, 2 middle aged and 2 young adults.
We enjoyed the backyard with all the seating and the incredible pool. Our trips into the city for activities worked well on the interstates.
Our extended family (7 people 30-80 years) stayed 3 nights. The house is gorgeous and comfortable. Everyone loved their rooms and beds. The two family rooms were easy to enjoy. The pool was AMAZING. Really.

This property could not have been more perfect for our stay! My nephew had his destination wedding in the area and my family wanted to enjoy one another's company when not at the events. The design of the home evokes old Hollywood, and the way the bedrooms are spread throughout the home created an environment where personal and communal space is optimized! The heated saltwater pool and surrounding grounds were so welcoming, beautiful and enjoyable that our time together was relaxed, fun-filled, and delightful! The surrounding area has everything one might need for shopping, dining,and entertainment, and it is all so close by! While we were all so happy to be gathered for such an auspicious occasion on the West Coast, Villa San Michelle provided the home gathering space of our dreams! It was magical for my family to gather and reunite in such a grand, and yet serene place, where the home will be remembered as one of the highlights in a destination wedding that was filled with love, joy, and wonder! Thank you so very, very much!
This home was absolutely beautiful. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The home is multi level with an old Spanish feel complete with sheer curtains that blow in French door windows. Plants and trees are all around creating a wonderful sense of privacy. The pool is stunning.
Property management company were helpful and quick to reply to our messages. There were a couple repair items that they let us know up front about and asked when it would be ok for their repairman to come. He was professional and kind and even brought an extra propane tank just in case.
My only gripe was that only one room had a ceiling fan. In a home w/o AC in summer it got fairly warm upstairs.
Great property. Even though there was no A/C the house stayed cool.

Nice but be cautious
This is a nice house but it’s not the cleanest and there is no air conditioning. The company that manages is not responsive right away. I would recommend you check everything in the house and report it before staying here. They will blame and charge you for everything. When my family got there all propane tanks were empty. That was frustrating and no one was able to help us until the following day. Our bbq plans were ruined. The only thing nice is the pool. I would not stay here again.
