Amazing Home!

Review Submitted: 04/27/12
Our family (4 of us) stayed at this beautiful home the week of April 1st 2012 and we just loved it. The house is beautifully decorated and so clean. Everything you could think of was in the house from extra towels to coffee filters! The AV/music system was great and we had it going all the time. The huge sliding glass wall was the best feature. Since the weather was so great when we were there we could leave that open and not have to use the AC. The pool was amazing and the kids (14 & 11) spent hours in it. There were plenty of pool toys (a baskeball net which was great), rafts, noodles that made it great for the kids. During our stay there were a few wind storms in the evening and the next day the pool crew was there first thing in the morning cleaning all the leaves and sand that blew in. What great service. I can't say enough good things about this house. I highly recommend it.

My wife and I first stayed at this property in March 2010 under a prior owner and loved the ideal layout of the home, indoor and outdoor amenities, quiet and privacy. Returning in 2012, the current owner has elevated the experience further. The home was absolutely immaculate upon arrival -- a white glove test run atop the refrigerator would have passed easily). The home is stocked with ample bath towels, beach towels, linens, and had a well curated set of kitchen equipment (nice dinnerware, wine glasses, knives and tools, coffee maker, toaster, blender, juicer, etc) alongside basics like real paper towels, napkins, aluminum foil, saran wrap, ziploc, etc. The refrigerator provides cubed and crushed ice, very handy. The A/V system worked indoor and out. We ran Pandora throughout the house on the WiFi all week by just putting the device in the iPhone port and hitting "play". The system came on by itself. Volume can be adjusted outside with controls in the laundry room, which also had detergent, dryer sheets, extra towels, an ice maker, sink, and some pool accessories. The mid-century architecture and integration of the indoor living space with the outside is what drew us back to this place. A large, four-panel sliding glass wall system opens the living/dining area completely to the outdoor space, with room to place lounge chairs just one step outdoors if you choose. The outdoor lighting, grill, spa, pool, and fire pit all worked as promised. We both loved the style of the home, its furnishings, and care to the plantings and grounds. Pool cleaning happened early Friday morning, and the lawn folks were on Thursday mid/late morning. We stayed as a couple, but the house has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is largest, with its own bathroom. The two other bedrooms would share a bath and are a bit smaller. Both of those bedrooms have doors to the outside and large closet space. The only hiccup we had was on recyclables pickup, which we put out curbside for Wednesday but the city didn't collect until Thursday (we had taken it back in by then, thinking we missed it) The home is about a 8 - 10 minute walk to an intersection with a 7-11 (which stocks the NYT / WSJ, not easy to find elsewhere), a well stocked liquor store, and the Riviera resort. Two major grocery stores and a pharmacy are a 2 minute drive. Overall, highly recommended.

We had an amazing time at this property. The sliding glass wall in the living room opens onto an immaculate outdoor space with a pool, hot tub, and fire pit with outdoor lounge area. It's stylishly decorated and has state of the art a/v equipment inside and out. We will be back for sure!!

Met our high expectations

We had a great 4 night stay at the Water's Edge in January, 2012. The place lived up to its photos and our high expectations. We were 4 people - 1 couple and 2 singles - making use of all 3 bedrooms. The pool, spa and firepit were wonderful. Adriana, the owner, was very easy to contact and highly responsive. When we noticed a minor problem with the freezer, she had someone from Sears show up swiftly to take a look. The master bedroom is not huge and does not have a lot of floor space for suitcases and other items, but it has a great en suite bathroom. Overall, we were surprised/impressed at how much is packed into a house that is not especially large in square footage terms. Would highly recommend this place to friends (and strangers) alike.

The perfect place to turn 40

We can't adequately put into words how much we enjoyed our extended weekend at Water's Edge. Everything about the place was amazing! The description and the pictures don't do it justice. You have to see this place first-hand to really appreciate all the details. The home is warm, the layout is inviting and lounging by the firepit (or in the spa) while gazing at the stars is incredibly relaxing. Everything about the property exceeded our expectations. Thank you Adriana for sharing your beautiful home and for making my partner's 40th one he will never forget!

Where do we start? Fantastic property, this amazing house had everything you could possibly need and as for the backyard, what can we say? The wonderful pool, the views, the cabana, the barbeque, the little pool with the chairs in and as for the privacy, it was exactly what we needed. The backyard made this place, although saying that, the house, the bedrooms (beds were extremely comfortable) and especially the kitchen were extremely well equipped, so much so we didn't go out for dinner once, we had everything we could possibly need here so why did we need to go out? Our only problem was that we only had 9 nights here and so could have done more. We didn't want to leave. Thank you Adriana, we so hope to come back. Wendy & David London, UK.

Waters Edge was the perfect setting for our girls vacation! the attention to detail in this home is amazing. Adriana was a pleasure to work with and made our stay so easy and comfortable we hated to leave this oasis. the photo's cannot convey the true beauty of this home and the views. the beds were better than a 4 star hotel and the property was immaculate. the home was in a great location as well & I will return and would recommend to all who have a desire to relax in a picture perfect environment. P.S the neighbors were very friendly as well.

Private Oasis

We just returned from spending Easter/Spring Break at Waters Edge. The moment we opened the gate, we all knew we wouldn't want to leave the house - and we rarely did! The patio and pool area is amazing and so well done we may try to copy it! Our favorite feature was the glass wall that opens from the living room onto the beautiful patio for a tropical outdoor/indoor feel. The pool was always the perfect temperature - morning or night - and the kids were in it every day. Though we did venture into town for a fantastic dinner at The Falls Steakhouse, which is a "don't miss" in our book, we spent most evenings grilling outside while we watched the kids swim and enjoying the outdoor surround-sound stereo system. Why leave?! The inside of the house was impeccably kept with very comfortable beds, flat screens in every room and every amenity needed for cooking, etc. Definitely no shortage of fluffy towels - I think the closet has 100 of them! The house also wasn't so large and spread out that we didn't get to spend quality family time together. We've rented vacation homes before and typically like trying new areas, but this is one we definitely plan to return to. Thank you, Adriana, for sharing your home and for allowing us to enjoy a fabulous vacation. We look forward to returning!

We arrived for a short weekend of sun and relaxation and found so much more! The Perect location ( close to restaurants, shopping and nightclubs) in a quiet residential neighborhood set the stage for a peaceful getaway. This home has it all -- beautiful interiors, gourmet kitchen, heavenly beds, stunning pool and spa, lush landscaping and views of the Catalina mountains. A tue oasis in the desert, this rental is a standout among all the others. We have already booked a stay next month!

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay ! Five snowbirds from Germany+ Oregon stayed for two weeks for Christmas & New Year in this wonderful home in a quite and safe neigborhood. Everything was perfect as described and shown on the pictures. Very tasteful interior, very clean, well equipped with full kitchen and entertainment equipment - we felt at home immediately. The garden + outdoor setup is great as well ( gorgeous palm trees , pool & hottub) and absolutely private. The owner was very supportive with every need we had, so we are happy to confirm the former reviews by 100% and only can recommend this place, hoping that here still will be slots left in the calendar for us in the future ...

My husband and our boys loved this house. The pool was great with basketball and volleyball to keep all happy. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We had fun downtown and so many great restrurants to choose from. We even had cocktails at the Rivera Hotel near by. We will come back and stay longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My partner and I just returned from a perfect 6 night stay. The homeowner greeted us upon arrival, along with the sounds of falling water and soft music playing from the indoor/outdoor music system. He gave us a brief tour to answer any questions we had about the home and surrounding area before departing. We were instantly at home. The house is furnished well in a taste similar to our own, and fitting of the architectural style of the area. The 16ft stacking glass panels that slide into the wall open the whole house up to the pool area, creating one large room perfect for easy indoor/outdoor flow and conversation. the owner undrstands the importance of lighting, always important to me, with dimmers on everthing and key accent lights inside and out, including the lighted plant pots along the back wall. The firepit makes an excellent place to enjoy some good wine and cheese before lounging in the oversized spa. The yard is a haven of privacy and the feeling of being in your own luxury resort (you have to make your own cocktails in the afternoon) We hardly left the property during our stay except an initial grocery shop and a dinner out with some local friends. We plan to stay here again next fall.
