Reunion
We are seven women who went through school together begging in kindergarten and culminating with our high school graduation. We all celebrated our eightieth birthdays this year and gathered to celebrate and catchup on each others lives. We found the house exceeded our expectations in all ways. It was very clean and well stocked and we had everything we needed. Thank you Karen for making our stay so perfect.

Most AMAZING Wedding Week Stay
From the minute I booked Karen's beautiful home it's been the best VRBO experience our family has ever had. Karen is a true hostess. From making sure we had everything we needed in the home for our 2 year old grandson to recommending a florist for our rehearsal dinner to recommending restaurants and hikes in the area, she was a pro. We couldn't have asked for a better concierge. Her home though was perfect. Everything was spotless and in perfect order. From the binder she provides with all of the instructions for outdoor lighting, spa and pool, to the amenities this home offers, it was the perfect family home with so much to offer. I can only attest to the master bed but it was SOOO comfortable. I heard all of the beds were. The pool, spa, fire pit, outdoor seating, outdoor bar, ping pong, corn hole and every board game imaginable this property is perfection for a family reunion. Ours was for our sons wedding week and AMAZING. I almost hate giving it such rave reviews as it will probably be booked solid and we'll never get a chance to use it again. You can't go wrong with this home. Your family and guests will LOVE IT! Thank you Karen.

Amazing experience! 5 stars!
we had a fabulous time during our stay in this location in Westlake. Home is beautiful and clean, and fully equipped with anything you need for your stay. It is located in a very private, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood. The amenities are incredible. My family had a great time in the pool and enjoyed the spacious backyard. The host is amazing. She is available any time, and communicated with us and checked in with us. I would recommend this location and would love to stay again.

Fabulous family holiday in 1000 Oaks
My family and I have just finished an incredible trip around California. We ended with a four day stay in this wonderful villa in 1000 Oaks, our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. The house is immaculate and very luxurious. Karen is a fantastic host, she was always quick to reply to any questions we had and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The garden was a big hit with the whole family, the pool is huge and the kids loved all the pool toys that Karen very kindly provided. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in the evening looking out over the beautiful California hills that surround the garden. The house itself is very spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and with lots of little touches that made it feel like a home from home. The house is perfectly placed to explore LA and is a relaxing haven to return to after a busy day sightseeing. I really can’t fault this property and would recommend it in a heartbeat. If we return to California we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect House for Daughter's Simi Valley Wedding
This house was perfect in every way. The location was perfect, the outside area is spectacular and the house itself was comfortable with plenty of room and amenities. We have stayed in multiple VRBO homes and we always look for a Premiere Host. All are very good but no one has ever been as responsive, helpful and engaging as Karen. Would highly recommend this home!

Outstanding Stay, Host with an Outdoor Oasis!
Just Awesome! My husband and I traveled to the area with our parents for a long weekend to cheer on our daughter and her soccer team. Karen's house was the perfect spot for us. Kitchen was well stocked with all needed utensils. Each couple had their own bathroom, and living and dining areas were roomy and spacious. We had multiple family members who live in the area, who joined us for dinner and the indoor table space easily accommodated>10 for a celebration dinner after my daughter's team won. The outdoor space was and is amazing!The backyard backs up to open space and the space is calming and gorgeous. We used the multiple outdoor seating areas throughout the day, including the fire pit and the elevated porch area. The ping pong table, cornhole and yard axe throwing games were a great complement to the space. While the wind did not comply with us using the pool, it was clean and sparkling. Karen was an awesome host. She was prompt to answer questions and sent check-in and house information prior to arrival. She left us a welcome bottle of wine and even left directions to our soccer site. The extra thought Karen put into our stay was just above expectations. If we ever back out to the area with a group, will definitely look to rebook!

Fabulous property and Host!
Our son was getting married near by and we were even able to host a small rehearsal dinner in the back yard. The house and property are stunning. Very comfortable for our family to spread out. The yard, with pool, is amazing and extremely welcome during the recent heat wave. Very well stocked home. Karen was available and attentive months before we checked in and we only had one request during our stay and she took care of it within 10 minutes. I almost hate to rave about it because that will make it even harder to get in to when we want to return!
