This was a wonderful spot to end our vacation! Our kids loved the basketball area and games, as well as the larger bunk beds. We enjoyed the patio and grill every night for dinner. It was a quick drive into the city, but was a nice retreat to a quoet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this for your next stay!

I traveled with my 2 adult sons and 7 of my grandchildren (age range 7-13 yrs old). The home had something for everyone. The game room, basketball court kept them busy and entertained our whole time there. The home was clean, welcoming and all the essentials were provided.The host was very communicative, helpful and responsive to all of our needs. I would absolutely reserve this home again.

By far 1 of the best VRBO rentals I have rented. Only thing I would change I’d just a personal preference of firmer pillows

The home itself was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Everything felt thoughtfully set up, from the comfortable furniture to the fully equipped kitchen. It really felt like a home away from home. The living area was perfect for unwinding in the evenings, and the outdoor space was a highlight—great for morning coffee or just enjoying the California weather

Host was very welcoming. Honestly, that patio off the house was amazing. Even when it was raining our 4 kids enjoyed sitting out there and just talking with us. We also used the outside kitchen area often too.

This is our second time staying in this property because we love the how spacious it is. We had two families share the house and there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Super easy to get in and check out. Very family friendly with plenty of space for the kids to hang. We would return again!
