Best VRBO ever
The house has everything you could ever need. Bath supplies, cooking supplies, bedding, etc. I should have brought much less.
The house is set up like a U-shape around the pool. This is perfect for two families as one family has one side with a bathroom and bedroom, the other family can have the other side of the U with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The living room is in the middle.
The kids took over the living room and the adults enjoyed the beautiful backyard overlooking the pool for most of the time.
Universal was 1 hour away and Disney was 40 minutes with traffic.
Jean checked in on us multiple times. Everything was absolutely perfect.
I recommend this VRBO to everyone!

Family celebration
The property is wonderful. Well kept, attractive and a fully loaded kitchen. Which is great as we like to cook. The backyard and pool were perfect. The kids loved playing in the water while the adults enjoyed the shaded patio. Beds were comfortable, rooms good sized. It was a lovely place to celebrate with a small group of people. Eugenie was a great host - quick to respond and accommodating. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend the place to anyone.

Charming Area, Cute House
We had a very nice stay at this property. Everything was very clean and the property was as described. One thing that was not clear was that there is a single room attached to the house, which was rented to people we weren’t with. The house and this room share the pool area, so it was a bit close. There’s also a lot of stuff in the house… we thought it was things people had left behind from other stays until we came across a prescription bottle from 2004. I’d recommend bringing extension cords for charging devices in the bedrooms (two prong). The bedrooms were very dark at night. Great walking area. The host was very nice and responsive.

Gathering from 3 points
Family funeral gathering with family members traveling from Australia and New Zealand. With all of our different tastes, everyone agreed that this was a charming, good vibes only, type of house with clean lines and quaint pieces that highlighted its midcentury architecture. Loved learning the history of the home and the host was simply lovely. Wish the weather cooperated in order to enjoy the pool but we plan on returning in the summer.

Great Home Base
Owner was super detailed with everything regarding the stay. House was spotless! We wanted to stay off the beaten path of downtown LA. This house was in a great location. Not too far from LA, Disneyland and other cool attractions on the coast. Very close to shopping, restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Came out with the family from Chicago to see Elton’s final concert in the U.S. at Dodger Stadium and spent a week in the LA area for a much needed vacation. This house was a great home base for our family… great memories made here. Would definitely come back.

Fabulous house
Stayed at this lovely home because it was close to the Rancho Los Cerritos where my daughter got married. It’s a wonderful mid century home decorated with period furniture that is very comfortable and fun and provided a great space to visit with family and out of town guests before the wedding. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. The pool area that would be nice during the summer but too cold for Nov. There’s laundry available which was great since we were there for a week.
Although we didn’t meet Jean, she responded quickly to my messages and questions. My daughter accidentally locked her wedding dress is the bedroom and was freaking out. My panicked message to Jean was quickly responded to with where the key would be found so crises was averted.
It’s a great neighborhood and close to many restaurants and grocery store aren’t far. I can highly recommend this property and would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Jean for offering such a special property for our stay.

Great Location
This property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was so convenient to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. It only took us 35 minutes to get to and from the Burbank airport. It took about an hour to drive to Universal. We also drove to San Diego. It could be less than an hour and a half drive depending on the time of day.
There needs and pillows were so comfortable that I slept like a baby.
Jean was so nice and even checked in via messages.
I highly recommend this property!!!
