Whether you’re watching Disney classics under the stars, soaking in the pool with a cocktail in hand, or watching the kids light up as they find another Mickey, AvoCottage is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to make memories.

5th Bedroom: The Game Room
Our Game Room doubles as a cozy private sleeping space, complete with a comfortable queen-size sofa bed and an armoire for clothing storage. Fresh linens and pillows are provided inside the armoire so you can make the bed at your convenience.
This space is located in a detached carriage house just across the patio. It is well-insulated, climate-controlled, and filled with natural light through its windows, offering a pleasant and quiet retreat.

Please note: While the Game Room is fully equipped for comfort, the bathroom is located in the main house or studio, requiring a short outdoor walk. California’s weather is generally sunny and mild year-round, with the exception of the occasional rain in spring. We recommend keeping this in mind if you're planning to use this as a fifth bedroom during your stay.

About the Pool
Our cowboy-style tank pool is 10 feet in diameter and 22 inches deep—perfect for cooling off with 6 to 7 adults.

PET POLICY
We know vacation isn’t the same without your best friend. AvoCottage welcomes well-behaved dogs.
✸ Up to 2 dogs per stay
✸ $150 pet fee
✸ Keep pups off beds and furniture, and pick up after them in the yard
✸ Dogs shouldn’t be left alone in the home unless crated

The pet fee helps our cleaning team give every guest, with or without pets, the spotless stay we’re known for.

EV CHARGING
$25 per overnight charge applies. Please let us know in advance if you'll need access to the charger.

EARLY CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT
We’re happy to accommodate an additional half-day stay at the beginning or end of your reservation, based on availability. Fees vary depending on demand, so please reach out in advance for a custom quote.

RENTAL AGREEMENT/HOUSE RULES
All guests sign a short rental agreement after booking. Its key terms are an acknowledgment of our house rules:
✸ Max 12 people at the home at any time, including visitors. Small celebrations of 12 or fewer are welcome; larger parties, promoted events, and commercial shoots are not.
✸ Quiet hours 10 PM to 8 AM.
✸ No smoking, vaping, or fireworks anywhere on the property.

✸ Guests are responsible for damage or extra cleaning caused by their group.
✸ Serious violations (over 12 people, parties, smoking, fireworks) may end the stay without a refund for unused nights.
✸ If a dispute ever arises (we hope it never does), it goes to mediation first, then binding arbitration in Orange County. This waives jury trials and class actions. Small claims court is also available.

If you'd prefer not to sign after booking, you may cancel for a full refund within 48 hours of receiving the agreement.

Everything was all prepared and beautiful. They have everything well thought out and so fun.

It is a beautiful welcoming house we would love to return to one day.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and can’t recommend this place enough! The attention to detail throughout the home was truly impressive—everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well cared for. The house was spotless, in great condition, and incredibly comfortable. The amenities were amazing: a beautiful backyard to relax in, fun games for all ages, great coffee, well-stocked cutlery and kitchen supplies, and even kids’ accessories that made traveling with little ones so much easier. The location was also perfect—convenient and close to everything we needed. On top of all that, the host was fantastic: kind, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our stay great. This place felt like a home away from home, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Magical cottage

This home exceeded our expectations. The pictures are amazing but in person is a whole other level!! We were thrilled when we walked in the door and saw how each and every detail was thought out. When you enter each themed room, it leaves you with the most magical feeling. There is no space in this house that hasn’t been meticulously thought out. Absolute magic. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Simply AMAZING!!

If I could rate Sarah & the Avocottage 20 stars, I would! Walking into this house was like walking straight into the listing….it fit the pictures perfectly! The space was very carefully thought out. The decor was fun. The kitchen was so well stocked. This house had everything a family would need-from paper products, charging stations, linens, games, to coffee supplies, etc….there was not a detail left unthought of. We had 7 people stay with us & we had more than enough space! Sarah was a great communicator & was super helpful when the firepit needed a propane refill! We had a WONDERFUL stay & I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting SoCal!

This house is so much fun! I can’t say enough great things about it. Sarah was an absolutely amazing host! It’s everything a large family or group would need and want! We traveled with 7 adults and 4 children ages 1-9. The kids’ bedroom was perfect with the bunks and trundle bed. The house also has a small crib that was perfect for our youngest grandchild. The backyard is a haven for the kids and “big” kids. Watching movies outside, BBQing, playing in the pool, or sitting by the fire, it’s all there. The kitchen is stocked with all the pans and utensils you’ll need to make meals. A large table for everyone and a high chair. There’s even a s’mores kit available for purchase. Walmart was quick to deliver the groceries I ordered. The house is pretty close to everything, but you have to factor in traffic. Even still, you’re only 30 minutes or less from beaches, Disneyland, museums, etc. There’s so much to say about this house. The cottage even has two spaces with their own entrance for privacy. It really was the perfect place to spend our first big family vacation together. Our next trip to California will definitely be spent in a Bamboo Dwelling .
