Map & Owner's Profile
Dolce - 5 BR/4.5 BA Custom Pool & Spa (Sleeps 10 + 1 on Futon)
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Dolce
We chose to buy our vacation rentals for a few reasons. (1) because we live close to them and can manage them easily. (2) Most of the renters are snowbirds and the busy time of the year is from October 1st through May 31st. That's when it's the most wonderful and comfortable weather and we love staying here in the California sunshine and managing our properties. Off season is when we travel. We like to get out of the desert when the temperatures reach over 100 degrees - and with Patricia having retired from the airlines - it makes it easy for us to travel!

Great House
Guest: Julie
(Calabasas)
Date of Stay: 05/27/11
Review Submitted: 06/02/11
We took my partner and her two married children and two grandchildren to this house for a Memorial Day get-a-way. It was fabulous and Hal is unbelievably nice, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the huge kitchen and the great BBQ. We had dinner outside on the patio every evening and swam in the 86 degree pool every day and night. The house is HUGE - complete with 1 GINORMOUS master suite and to queen masters each with its own bathroom. Everything was well appointed in the kitchen. My only suggestion would be that if you are of the chef kind, bring your own knives for carving, bread, chef's, etc. Plenty of steak knives, though. Also, bring your own spices. The herbs and spices were too stale to use and we had to buy our own. Sipping margaritas out by the private pool was awesome. The kids enjoyed the shaded baja area of the pool and the adults loved all the lounge chairs and the Hammock. Our Dog even sunned himself by the pool. Air conditioning was super cool and we were all comfy. Bedding is nice. Hal took great care of us and we had a wonderful family vacation here.

Domani is our annual trip to Paradise
Guest: wahoooo

Date of Stay: 05/06/11
Review Submitted: 05/11/11
This was our second annual trip to "Paradise." We plan to make it an annual trip because it is the perfect house for a bunch of families to get away. All of our families take turns cooking, but mostly we all just lounge in the pool all day and in the hottub all evening. It is always great fun. The kitchen is a fantastic kitchen for chefs. It is fully stocked with almost every kind of kitchen utensil that you'd want. We bring in a massage therapist (ask Hal for recommendations) who takes turns working on all of the adults. Looking forward to next year!

What a pleasure to stay at this lovely home. We can't say enough about Hal and his wife....they were so wonderful to work with right from the get-go. It was the perfect house for our family of 10 vacation, a great time was shared by all of us. The location was fantastic, super close to Starbucks, Costco, Walmart, restaurants, even an organic market. The house is perfectly set up for a large group, the little ones had a blast in the pool and we adults really enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. We'll definitely be back!

We had so much fun at this home I can't even describe it. We stayed here with cousins and we couldn't get the kids out of the pool! They had so much fun, we all sat around at the big kitchen island cooking, eating and having fun! The kitchen is wonderful and having plenty of rooms and 3 with their own baths made the whole vacation comfortable and relaxing. We loved being close to the main stores we needed too, and yet still removed and private! Great home!!

Thanks to Hal, for helping to make our family Christmas vacation wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better family vacation setting. The house and area were wonderful! The pool was especially great for the children, and the spa was equally as great for the adults! I would highly recommend this property and can't say enough regarding Hal's helpfulness to our family.

Christmas at Dolce
Guest: Christmas at Domani
(Cordova, Alaska)
Date of Stay: 12/23/10
Review Submitted: 01/01/11
We spent Christmas in Dolce. We had 5 families with 7 children and the house was perfect for us. After 4 days of Rain at Disney- this was the perfect place to relax- enjoy some nice weather, and play in the pool. We had the best Family Christmas ever! The house had everything we needed, and Hal was the most accomadateing helpful host I have ever experienced. He even let me send some Christmas gifts to his house before we came, and delivered the last one himself at midnight Christmas Eve. He attended to everything we could need. He is a testimate to why a good property manager can make a vacation into magical memories we will never forget. Thank you Hal for everything! The house was beautiful and the pool was the hit of our stay, but your great communication, and extra effort is what will bring us back to one of your properties in the future. Thank you so much for making our Christmas wonderful!

My family and friends really enjoyed our weekend stay here. The renting process was smooth and easy. The backyard and pool were wonderful and the house was very roomy for all of our guests! Very nice and well kept. We would definitely come back again.

Weekend stay at Domani

Review Submitted: 10/14/10
We just had a bachelorette weekend at this house and it was fantastic. The house was gorgeous and had ample space for 10 women (thank goodness for the 4+ bathrooms). There was plenty of space to lounge, listen to music, relax in the pool, and cook. It was also quick and easy to get to various conveniences like gas, groceries, etc. From the organizer's perspective, the best part was coordinating the rental with Hal; from the very beginning he was responsive to my inquiries and always responded to any email very quickly. I spoke with several other rental owners who were less-than-enthused, so I'm really glad we ended up finding Hal. Just made for an easier time all around.
