This property was exceptional! It’s situated in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to all the major cities and attractions. The house itself is gorgeous- very spacious and absolutely immaculate. It’s well stocked with everything you could possibly need to feel at home. The backyard is truly a gem- it feels like paradise out there. The house is located steps from a walking/running/bike path. You can walk right on the path to grab your morning coffee. Our day started and ended with the pool and hot tub, which were both meticulously maintained and luxurious. Dan was the perfect host. He met us at the property on our first night to show us around and give us an overview of running the pool. He was extremely welcoming, very easy to talk to, communicative and quick to respond. The few questions I had throughout the week were immediately answered. I would love to stay here again at some point in the future. It was our best vacation yet!

We had a great stay as a family of 6. The house had everything we needed to keep us comfortable on our vacation. Dan was super helpful with anything we needed. We swam in the gorgeous pool, slept great in the cozy beds, and felt very much at home!

We were two families from the UK, with 4 children ages 8,10,17 and 21

Excellent house, catered for our two families very well. The children loved the pool and hot tub. And the adults loved the gas fire pit and outdoor seating areas. The house had a party feel with the pool table area opening right out onto the pool. Very well equipped kitchen with everything you need. We would definitely use this house again.

Great place to stay!

My family and I visited Southern California for the first time for a one-week vacation in late June. The house is in a cute neighborhood with lots of walking paths and is about half-way between Los Angelos and San Diego, so a great location to pretty much everything, including beaches and amusement parks. My favorite feature by far was the back yard, which is a paradise of its own! Pool, spa, waterfall, fire pit, lush landscaping and outdoor seating...! What more could you ask for? Easy check-in/out process and the host was very receptive and accessible. I would highly reccomend staying here!

Fantastic Home...Everything We Needed for the Perfect Family Vacation!

This house was perfect for our family. They had all of the amenities we were looking for! The pool and hot tub were fabulous! The grandkids spent as many hours in it as they could. They also loved the pool table (even though none were very good at it) they got lots of practice! The adults enjoyed the built-in bar, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. When actually went home with clean clothes in our bags! The house was convenient to local shopping and a few restaurants were nearby. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Dave and Marva for sharing your home with us!

Every need fulfilled for a week and then some!

We couldn't have hoped for a better place than Dan's! The communication was great, the location quiet and safe, and the house was amazing! The house layout worked very well for our family of eight people with bedrooms on the second floor. The main level was great for lots of different activities and well connected to the kitchen. AND the bonus pool and hot tub (thanks to the great weather) was put to use every day of our week stay. Dan was so welcoming and great to respond to a few things. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday celebration together thanks to the lovely accommodations and host.

We loved every minute we spent in this beautiful resort-like home!

The photos do not do this place the justice it deserves! The moment you walk in the door, the first impression is awesome. Every need was met for our comfort. The openness of the layout provided such a beautiful space. Our family of 10 could not have had a better time. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool so much and the pool table provided great tournaments. In fact, they would have been happy if we never left the house at all! All in all, a wonderful stay was enjoyed by all. Thank you Marva and Dan for all of your special attention to the details. The home was meticulously clean, equipped with every possible need or supply. And the backyard pool, terrace, outdoor seating area, fire pit and hot tub were the hit of the week; we spent all of our time out there and admired the views. Anyone visiting the Lake Forest area should take advantage of this marvelous property for their stay. You will be so impressed, as we were!

Great vacation rental. We will be back!

We rented this house for six of us for 6 nights because we were in town for a wedding. The owner personally met us there to show us how to work the pool and hot tub and give us a quick tour. They even left us a basket of goodies on the kitchen island. The house is perfect. They thought of everything a renter may need. There is a beautiful pool and hot tub in the yard (which we used daily) with noodles, goggles, frisbee's and more. The beautifully landscaped yard also has an in-ground gas power fireplace and two great seating areas as well as a BBQ which we used for dinner twice. The inside of the house features four bedrooms, two and a 1/2 baths and is decorated so nice. The master bedroom is to die for. It is a large suite with a large seating area, fireplace and balcony which overlooks the yard. There are plenty of towels for showers and the pool, more than enough dishes, glassware, pots, pans. The house literally has everything one would need, washer/dryer, dishwasher. They even left us soap in the bathroom! The house is close to everything as well. Many stores and restaurants are close by and the beach is only about ten minutes away. Considering we have a lot of family in the area, we will definitely be back. We can not recommend this property enough. Thank you Dan and Marva for such a great trip, you made everything so easy!

This property was perfect for our family of 7 to hang out together for the week. The pool was great and nicely heated and we enjoyed the tropical backyard. We appreciated that parts of the pool and spa were always in the shade. There is plenty of patio seating in the shade too. We also enjoyed the pool table with a view of the backyard. Kitchen and bathrooms are well supplied (bath towels were new and fluffy). Dan met us at check-in and was super helpful throughout our stay if we had a question.We would love to stay here again.
