Comfortable family home in a quiet cul-de-sac. The downstairs of the house had been very recently refurbished to a high standard with all new kitchen appliances, flooring, windows and doors. The swimming pool is large and our kids simply loved it. The owners were reactive to any problems we found and always available. We were very happy there and comfortable.

Short drive away to amenities and beach. Pool was fantastic with pool floaties and toys provided. Great to have beach stuff and lots of beach towels available. We like cooking and could have used a few more kitchen implements/dishes but otherwise fantastic stay.

Backyard is the shining star of this wonderful home. All was great, only reason for not getting 5-stars was lack of closet space (almost all closets and cabinets are locked up), and some issues with both the dishwasher (leaked) and gas grill (was not cleaned, ran out of propane). Great hostess.

Meri's house was quite nice, we loved the back yard. My husband and I get a house every year at the beach to spend time with our kids and family and get out of the desert. Our two grandkids stayed for a couple days and loved the planet room and the fort out back. We had my family over who live nearby and had a BBQ and pool day, everyone admired the backyard. We brought our corn-hole game and had plenty of room to play. We enjoyed the jacuzzi several nights and even took advantage of the fire pit and all had smores! The grocery store is relatively close, old San Juan is nearby and we strolled around and had coffee at one of the shops. The beach is 5 minutes away and we took the grandkids to Baby Beach one day and headed to strand beach another. She had everything in the kitchen you could need to put together a meal. I would highly recommend her house.

We had a wonderful experience in Casa Pecha. The house was in a fantastic serene location minutes from downtown old San Capistrano and beautiful Dana Point Harbor. The property itself was perfect for our family, especially our three children, who spent many hours in the awesome backyard pool and jacuzzi. The house was kid friendly with themed bedrooms, a lego/play area set up in garage area, and a cool little kid’s fortress adjacent to the pool. With a backyard firepit, comfortable outdoor seating, and idyllic open kitchen facing the backyard and pool, Casa Pecha and (and host Meri who made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit) was the perfect spot for our Orange County family sojourn!

It was close to really gorgeous beaches, coves in Laguna - to San Clemente and further. Kids loved it. Adults too... Outside firepit for nights. A big enough kitchen for 6 adults to hang out while cooking. All amenities. Clean and fairly priced. I recommend staying here for a mixed family gathering, as we had here.

We rented the house for 5 days. Our party had 5 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies. The house was plenty big for our large party. Everybody loved the house, especially the backyard and pool. The pool is much bigger than pools at other house we have rented. The outside playhouse and Lego station in the garage were also favorites of the kids. My son is already asking me when we get to go back to the "fun pretty house". Meri was awesome at answering any questions we had. We definitely will be renting from Meri again.

The backyard is certainly the selling point with this house. It's location served us well, close to the beach, close to town, close to Disneyland.
