The amenities were wonderful. Too bad there aren’t more bathrooms.

We rented this house for a short vacation with a group of 23 friends. The inside of the house is absolutely beautiful but the backyard is truly the BEST part. The pool and the water slide are even better in person. Kevin is also really easy to work with and is very responsive to calls and emails. We got there a couple hours early and the house was still being cleaned so Kevin made sure we had a place to hang out outside so we didn’t need to mobilize our large party but were also out of the way of the cleaning staff. All this to say if I ever travel with a big group again I’d definitely stay here. It was seamless. Truly no complaints!

Our stay was great! Stayed with a bunch of friends and it was the most fun house we’ve ever been at! Water slide was a hit. Views were great.

This property was absolutely AMAZING! I hosted a company team retreat here and we were all just amazed at how large and beautiful it was. Everyone enjoyed their time! Favorite part of the home was the backyard with the heated pool with slide!!!! Will definitely come back!

We enjoyed this place so much as it was perfect to have a big family come together in one place to celebrate birthdays and have a family reunion. The pool/slide was awesome and used everyday. It was a convenient location and central to some of Southern California beaches and amusement parks.

Private swimming pool with water slide. Plenty of bedrooms and sleeping areas for a big group. Had so much fun.

Dear Kevin, We wanted to share transparent honest feedback, so you can continue to improve your offering to your customers, ratings and reviews as well as your business. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the location, the swimming pool, pool table and just the chance to spend time together in the way our family was hoping! So thank you for providing your space to us for this gathering. One of our biggest challenges was the guest house (Casita) and its air circulation and heat, during this time of the year. Out of several different locations in the southern California region we had selected this one specifically because we wanted the elders in our family 75-85 years old, to really have a safe place they could relax and enjoy as well as then join the family in the main house. Unfortunately due to the air conditions and heat in the guest house, we had to move elders into the main house for the first 2-3 days. Which was quite disturbing for them with all the noise and very sad for us, as we had promised them a comfortable environment, which they did not get – and were not happy with the moving back and forth. I would have to say this was our biggest issue and a really difficult one for us to digest for the entire experience. Looking back there is no way we would have booked this place had we known this was going to be the situation for the guest house. Smaller issues we faced, though hopefully you would want to rectify moving forward: 1) The freezer was not working / showed it to your guys as frozen foods all melted. 2) Downstairs, shower curtains had mold on them 3) Outdoor/Backyard had dirty diapers and beer bottles remaining outside 4)sheets weren’t available for some beds which u got 2 days later Lastly, it was unfortunate that we weren’t able to get a hold of you many times during our challenging moments while staying at your place. Although i understand emergencies happen, it is always such a comforting experience when the host is accessible and ready to support their client’s stays. All in all, our family made the best of it as it isnt easy for our parents to move and NO OTHER HOUSE WAS AVAILABLE for my large group especially the ones with heart problems Lastly, you offered compensation for the fans we bought and left there and inconvenience which you did not give. I write this mixed review bc this space has soo much potential but not transparent in its shortcomings.

This property was beyond our expectations!! Everyone had a great time. If the kids are having a great time, so are the adults. We never once heard... "we're bored". Actually saved money not going to all the parks we had planned on. No one wanted to leave. Everyone enjoyed the slide, the outside theater, pool and just the property itself. BBQing overlooking the pool and the mountains. Everything we would ever need, was there. Such as kitchen ware and bedding. We will definitely book this property again. Location was great. Super close to any store you would need. We had no complaints. Best rental property I have EVER been to. Thank you Kevin!

Property was great and exactly as advertised. The heat on the hot tub didn’t seem to go past 95 the last couple of nights but the group preferred the pool so there was no issue. The BBQ was a bit dirty so we let it run for a little bit before we started cooking. Very easy check in process and the house had everything we needed.

Lots of fun amenities for families. The amenities kept our entire family of 24 busy and entertained for 5 days. The pool was warm, and all the other entertainment amenities were in good working order. We even enjoyed a movie outside a couple of evenings. The houses will sleep 24 but the bathroom situation can make it a challenge. In the big house, two of the 3 bathrooms are attached to bedrooms and there are no doors on the bathrooms to separate them. There were several issues with appliances and an entry door which the owner is now aware of. The house also looks a little rundown. The beds were comfortable. The little house had a functioning kitchen but no pots, dishes, utensils or dish soap and towels. If we needed another big house, we would definitely book it again.

This was my first time using a VBRO. I was quite disappointed. Admittedly, we had few choices, needing a 8 bedroom house, ( 6 in the main house & 2 in the guest house) but this home was not as it appeared. It wasn't until we arrived at the location that we found out that there wasn't any bathroom on the main floor. Both bedrooms on the top floor had private bathrooms but the 4 bedrooms on the lower level had to share 1 bathroom. Two of the bedrooms on the lower level didn't have closets or AC. The guest house, which we rented at additional cost so we could have the extra 2 bedrooms, also had no closets or AC. throughout the main house, the water pressure was so low, it was difficult to use the bathroom sinks and one of the showers didn't even operate. The main house's refrigerator was not working properly: ice maker and water dispenser were not working. The drawers & shelves were missing so it was very difficult to store food properly. The furniture was broken, torn and in generally poor condition. The grounds were poorly maintained. There were numerous safety haazards. The pool or playground were not fenced, dirt pathways/areas were so full of gopher holes, it was dangerous to walk through them, The owner had a long list of demands and expectations, but was very difficult to deal with. He could take weveral days to respond to questions, problems or requests both prior to and during the stay. I certainly would not recommend this house & guest house to anyone and feel it gives the VBRO organization a bad reputation.

everyone from ages 2-80 had a fantastic time at this VRBO location due to the plethora of activity possibilities provided!

Great, great pool!!! It was only 58 degrees but we paid to heat the pool and it was awesome and warm. There was an issue with the pool cover but they handled it immediately. The house needs a bit of maintenance but overall the kitchen was well equipped and the baths were nice. There was enough room for our large family and the outside space was used constantly. We had a great time!

Our experience was overall positive. In particular, when any issues came up, Kevin was extremely responsive, helpful and accomodating. The place isn't perfect and there are indeed indications that they are still working on some things on the property, but thr place was very welcoming to a large group of friends with young children. There were plenty of things for everyone to keep busy. The pool remained in constant use and there was never a moment of sitting around with nothing to do. I recommend this to any large group looking for a fun house that isn't too bothered by things not being perfect.

Kevin is incredible. He was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. He is also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay. We had a great time at Kevin’s amazing place with the amazing pool, water slide and the view. Two houses in one lot made it easier for all of us to stay together instead of booking a second house or hotel for our big group. The communication from the host and his staff were super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located and friendly neighbors! Would absolutely recommend to stay there! Thank you Kevin!

This house was a great value for a large family gathering. We had over 20 people staying at the house both young and old and there was enough room to make sure everyone had their own place. We ran into a couple of minor issues upon arrival but the owner was always available via text and got someone over to fix the issue within the hour. The backyard has an amazing view and with the heated pool, our family was able to enjoy the backyard all weekend. The owner went above and beyond by shipping back an iPad that was left behind and so we thank him for going out of his way to do that. Overall we had a great weekend at the house with family and friends.

Talk about lipstick on a pig. I can’t even tell you how disappointed we were in this property. Luckily my group had a good sense of humor and accepted the trip as a survival lesson. What was wrong you may ask? 1. Sky light broken in converted garage that had a screen to protect from rain 2. No sheets on the bunk beds in converted garage with no adequate linens 3. Fire pit, good luck. Talk about fire hazard. Three propane tanks and no flame 4. Air conditioning in the casita? Better make sure the duct tape holds the vents in 5. Sewage smell to make you sleep at night? We got you covered! 6. Like to clean before you enjoy the trip? Nailed it 7. Trash all around the property? Check Highly recommend looking at google maps before booking this place. Never again.

The property served us well! Thank you!

Great house with lots of on-site entertainment options: pool, water slide, jacuzzi, pool table, ping pong table, card & board games, TV, and WiFi. We saw some reviews that were very negative and after staying there we think they were unfair. Yes Kevin has a lot of rules it seems; but they are mostly fine. Great view BTW, we just spent hours chilling out in the pool enjoying the calming environment. One thing: it needs some kitchen pots and pans. But not a big deal if you don't want to cook 😉

Stayed at the property with my bridal party to enjoy my wedding weekend! The house was perfect to hang out, swim, bbq, and play tons of yard games! Made some amazing memories and we already all want to go back! Host was very helpful, responsive and the house provided everything we needed and more.

Had a great time staying here. Spent most of our time enjoying everything in the backyard and was very easy to communicate with Kevin on any questions we had. Nice and private and also very close to grocery store for any last minute needs. Plenty of beds and space for all of us. Would definitely stay again!

Upon arriving to the house we discovered sliding doors are broken and do not lock the front door was open no code was needed. We were also out of hot water for two days contacted the owner and was not able to get it fixed until the third day he refuses to refund any money for the inconvenience mind you we had 24 people there. The house is filthy all of the dishes were dirty we had to rewash them we seen cockroaches and there’s also a mouse living in the walls in the master bedroom.That back house is not permitted and it’s a fire hazard I cannot believe VRBO allows homes on their site like this. The pictures are all filtered. The backyard isn’t as nice as the pictures and neither is the house. We will never stay here again and he’s charging way too much per night for how filthy the house is! He has all these rules and will charge all these fees if anything is messed up. Beware!!!! You have been warned!!!!!

The reason we chose this home was for the backyard. We came with family and friends for our children’s spring break. We have children ranging from the age of 2-15. The children loved the slide, trampoline and pool lay structure. Overall the home is equipped for single people wanting to hang out. I say this because there were items lacking ( kitchen towels, pool towels, laundry detergent, a set of kitchen knives).The home is nice but there is a lot of wear and tear on the property. Broken window curtains, railings, doors). The small house appears under repair/ construction. The pool and jacuzzi were the selling point for us and a disappointment. We paid extra per day to have the pool heated and it stayed hot one day. The jacuzzi only worked on the first day we arrived. We stayed 3 nights. The pool guy did come on our last day but the pool never was heated the way it was on our first day there. Would we come back? The children unanimously said “Yes”. The adults of the group said “ Yes-if the pool and jacuzzi situation were remedied”
