About this property

Sherman Oaks Retreat • Pool + Hot Tub + Panoramic Views | Sleeps 16 | Oak Hills

High above Sherman Oaks, Oak Hills turns Los Angeles into the backdrop — with sweeping valley views, swaying palms, glowing sunsets, and a pool deck made for lingering. With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and space to sleep 16, the home blends a private hillside setting with the kind of easy access that keeps LA within reach.

Out back, the view does most of the talking. The pool stretches toward the valley, surrounded by lounge seating, palm trees, and multiple places to sit back and take in the skyline. The cliffside hot tub is a true standout, especially at golden hour, when the city lights start to flicker below. Whether you’re swimming, grilling, sipping something cold by the patio, or gathering under the sunset, the outdoor space is built for groups who want their stay to feel like an event.

Inside, the home has a warm, original-family-home character with cabin-inspired touches, exposed wood ceilings, rustic dining furniture, and oversized windows that keep the views front and center. The large chef’s kitchen offers generous prep space, full-size appliances, and bar seating, making it easy to cook for a crowd or set out snacks between pool time and movie nights. Multiple living and dining areas give everyone room to spread out, while unique extras like a drum set and massage table add personality you won’t find in a standard hotel stay.

Five spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms make the layout ideal for families, friend groups, and extended stays. Most bedrooms feature king beds, and one flexible sleeping room includes a king bed plus a triple bunk with a full bed and two twins. Additional sofas and a sofa bed provide even more sleeping flexibility, bringing the total occupancy to 16. The home also includes 3 HDTVs with cable and internet TV, including NFL Channel and RedZone, so game days are covered.

Location-wise, you’re tucked into one of Sherman Oaks’ most desirable hillside pockets, close to the best of the Valley while still feeling removed from the city rush. Spend the day exploring Ventura Boulevard’s restaurants, shops, and cafés, head over the hill toward Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, or Universal Studios, then come back to a panoramic pool deck and those unforgettable LA views. Pool heating is available for an additional fee.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips.

There is no place quite like LA. It's what people envision when dreaming about California.

Surf lines the western coast of the city in areas like Venice, providing an area for locals and visitors alike to explore legendary beaches. Each of the 400+ neighborhoods in Los Angeles has its own voice and story-—meaning there's something in it for everybody. Where do you see yourself?

Local Attractions: Hollywood Sign, Runyon Canyon, Santa Monica Pier, Rodeo Drive, Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Venice Beach and Boardwalk.

California vibes trip

Our roadtrip from Pleasanton with our family to celebrate high graduations with my 2 nieces ended in LA. The house was a prefect fit for all 14 of us. The view and sunsets were breathtaking! After long days at the beach and Universal Studios (a short 10 min drive) it was great to connect and relax together by the pool. So much room and space for everyone.

Good enough stay for what we needed

Plenty space for the amount of people needed. We were able to comfortably fit everyone. Supplies were available to us which was nice. Small things about the house just made it not as enjoyable. Fridge did not make anything cold or freeze, the trash can step to open the trash didn’t have a top on it so a couple of us scraped ourselves on the metal unknowingly. We spent money to heat up the pool but it wasn’t as clean nor were there supplies to clean ourselves. One of the front rooms didn’t have curtains so the women felt uncomfortable changing or sleeping. We gave better ratings because we can’t fault the host because we didn’t reach out to them. We just felt it would have been a nuisance to have to have someone come for every little thing when we would barely be at the house.

Great location and views, but house could use some TLC. We had a group of friends staying for a long weekend in LA. Overall, we had a great time — the house has plenty of space for a group, the AC worked wonderfully, and the views from the house were amazing. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and it was a great home base for our trip.That said, there were a number of maintenance issues that we wish we had known about before booking. The house has noticeable wear and tear and feels like a well-used rental property. The back rooms didn’t have curtains, so the morning sunlight made it impossible to sleep in. One bathroom door didn’t close, the shower was missing one of its doors, several chairs were lose and broken, the dishwasher wasn’t secured, some outlets didn’t work, there was a hole in the wall in one of the rooms and felt the pool could have been cleaner prior to our stay. Also seemed like the landscaping in the front of the house was unfinished for some time, which made the first impression a bit underwhelming.None of these items ruined our trip — we still enjoyed our time together — but it would have been helpful to know about them beforehand so we could set our expectations accordingly. It seems from past reviews that some of these issues have been present for a while, so hopefully they can be addressed soon, as this house has a lot of potential to be a great stay.

The house has good space, but the listing clearly relies on the pool and location. While the pool, hot tub, and outdoor area were excellent, the interior was very underwhelming.The dishwasher was not properly secured, causing the entire unit to tip forward when the rack was pulled out. We reported this and were told it was “fully operational,” but we chose not to use it. The kitchen was missing basic items such as measuring cups and spoons, the refrigerator was leaking, and there was only one pot holder.There were plenty of towels, but they were thin, old, and in poor condition, with visible wear and bald spots. The bedroom off the kitchen has a window-like opening into the kitchen that offers minimal privacy despite a thin shade. Noise travels easily, and the Wi-Fi router cord runs through this opening. The furnishings did not match the listing photos, the bed had no frame, and only half of the east-facing windows had shades, making the room extremely bright in the morning. Only one track light worked, and the attached bathroom had no outlets.Hot water was unreliable throughout the stay, particularly in the kitchen and front bathroom. A plumber was sent, but the issue persisted. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom had a damaged tub faucet and broken knobs; repairs lasted only one day. In the primary bathroom, there were exposed wires where a light fixture was missing.This property is marketed as luxury, but has significant issues and the overall experience was disappointing.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your stay. We're glad the pool, hot tub, and outdoor space lived up to expectations, and we appreciate you flagging the concerns you encountered inside the home. The dishwasher, refrigerator, hot water inconsistency, plumbing repairs, bathroom fixtures, lighting, and window coverings have all been passed along to the appropriate teams for review and follow-up, and kitchen inventory and linen condition are being reassessed as well. Feedback like yours helps us identify where the in-home experience is falling short of how the property is presented, and we take that seriously. Should you consider staying with us again, we'd welcome the opportunity to provide a stay that better reflects what this home should offer.
