                My family and I stayed at this magnificent home recently for a long weekend. It was a great experience - you truly felt like you were in paradise. The inside and outside of the house is absolutely amazing - you feel like you are at a resort instead of a single home. The pool, spa, fire pits, tiki bar, golf course and much more provide you plenty to do for a great vacation! Gary the owner is phenomenal to deal with - very nice and accomodating. Highly recommended!

                Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

              Year Purchased: 2007

              About the owner: Born and raised in Chicago, graduated from Southern Illinios University. Moved to L.A. in 1982. My primary residence is a home on the beach in Hermosa Beach.

              Why the Owner Chose Serrano:
              I purchased the lot in 2000. Finished building the home in 2007. My influence to the design, furnishings, and back yard has been my many travels to Thailand. I spent 2 years visiting many different resorts in Thailand. I have tryed to recreate a Thai resort. Everything in the home and exterior is authentic Thai.
