Beautiful getaway
Everything was great! Tons of accomodations including toys, pool floaties, beach toys, cooking utensils, shampoo, laundry soap. The only complaint was that the small playground outside was super dirty- my daughter was unable to use the slide because of multiple layers of dirt/grime. We couldn't use the washer and dryer because they were not working properly despite contacting the house cleaner to trouble shoot. The hot tub wasn't always hot but that was ok with us and our small kiddos. I would stay here again knowing the washer and dryer worked properly!

Wonderful Property (with some minor niggles)
The property was as described and on the photographs, relatively recently refurbished to a high standard in an open plan style and with a great outdoor space. We loved the open plan kitchen living room concept and the pool and hot tub which we used daily. As noted the property is near the airport resulting in noise between 7am and 9pm but this didn't bother us at all. Parking is on the roadside but again no issue getting parked - you just have to obey the street cleaning signs. Communication from Gina the host was frequent and good. We are experienced holiday letters - staying in properties multiple times a year - including in the US. The only reason we did not rate the property 5 star was because there are a number of areas where some TLC is needed. For example we couldn't use the closets in the secondary bedrooms as they are full of what is assumed is the owners belongings - and had the same issue with the bedside drawers which had fixings etc in them. There is also an unpleasant smell in the living room - which we think is down to the rugs which either need removing or replacing. This took us lots of airing and candles to mask it. Finally minor issues with power sockets not working in the kitchen / master bathroom, the washer not working property, and that there were no teaspoons also distracted from what should be a 5 star property. Overall we would recommend but do think the issues need addressing for future guests.

Great Host and Great Property
The host, Gina, was wonderful and super communicative. My family enjoyed the property and the super comfortable living room. We also had a great time in the pool and spa. There is street parking but there was no issue. The master bedroom is located at the corner of the house by the intersection…there was only one loud car at night in my two night stay…NBD. It’s located near the airport but I didn’t hear any planes at night…only heard them during the day. There is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Two complaints: 1) there was toothpaste and hair in one of sinks in the master bathroom, and; 2) there was hair all over the master bed. We ended up removing the sheets and washing them.

Amazing poop and patio!
This home and host are both amazing! Spacious interior feel with a backyard pool and covered patio were ideal to allow the family to relax together and supervise the children in a comfortable spot. Patio has cozy couch and large table, where we are most of our meals. Will definitely come again when the opportunity arises!

Amazing Place
We visited over our spring break so my teenager could visit some Southern CA colleges. The property was perfect for our family. It’s beautifully updated, well-maintained, and comfortable. Gina made everything so easy both leading up to our stay and throughout. The yard and pool area is also gorgeous. We’re already talking about returning the next time we’re in the area.

Great Holiday Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It looked just as pictured. It was close enough to get to most attractions we were interested in and cozy enough to relax if you didn’t feel like doing any thing. The only thing I would change is the area rugs. Didn’t feel they were needed and they were past their prime. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to this area or in need of a good staycation.

Magical Christmas
I stayed at this property last year for a wedding as it was in the neighborhood where I grew up. We were enchanted by the experience, so we booked it again for our 2023 Christmas back home. We brought our stockings and presents for the grandkids and had planned on buying a small Christmas tree locally, but Gina had already handled that and there was one in the living room. Can't complain about a thing. Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. Will stay again in the future, for sure

Nice stay with hot tub
Very nice house, with hot tub and pool. Host responded to a couple of routine questions in a timely manner. Living room has high ceilings with good lighting, spacious. Near Long Beach airport so you occasionally hear a plane if you’re outside during the daytime, but flights don’t run at night. Comfortable beds, and seating with table for outside dining (even in November, it was warm enough to dine outside). Really enjoyed staying here, would recommend. Really enjoyed the hot tub…

Great House for a Weekend Away
Awesome set up for a relaxing, fun weekend. Pool and hot tub were great, kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, beds were comfortable, really great all around. Host was very responsive and welcoming. It is very close to the airport which is both convenient and a little loud when planes pass over. Took off a star on cleanliness because the kitchen sponge had hair in it and there wasn’t a fresh one to replace it with. Overall a minor inconvenience for an awesome stay!

Beautiful Home and exceptional pool/spa
We stayed at this property with our adult children and daughter-in-law. I walked in the front door and immediately knew I had chosen the right place. Large custom kitchen open to the living area with the veranda and pool/spa outside the large sliding wall of patio doors. The veranda is where we spent most of our time playing games at the large table with comfortable chairs and outdoor sofa. The pool/spa was gorgeous with 3 different levels for every age along with seating inside the pool. Our favorite was the pool night lights controlled by the ipad which changed colors. The app also controls the heat in the spa/pool. I did pay to have the pool heated as the temps were high of 68 daily. Large laundry room which we used also. Bedding very comfortable with nice white linens. We all commented how dark the rooms were to sleep in. Master bath is luxury with a walk in shower. Kitchen is very large and well appointed. This is definitely an entertainment home for families. Plenty of room for all to spread out. The home decor was California casual modern. Very lovely! This home offers so much I cannot praise it properly. STay here you will not regret it! Melanie S

Wonderfully relaxing
We spent 4 nights here after taking our young kids to Disneyland for 2 days and it was a great place to unwind after the craziness of the parks. The property is beautiful, spotless, and stocked with everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet (aside from an occasional plane flying over, which our boys loved to see and didn’t bother us at all) with a coffee shop in walking distance! We enjoyed spending evenings swimming in the heated pool then relaxing and cooking dinner at the house. Regina was super helpful and available for any questions we had. We all had a wonderful stay!
