Needed a home spot while in town for a memorial

We loved our stay here. Everything was very clean and was the right size for our 3 adults and 2 kids to relax in a little home away from home. The walking proximity to Vons, Starbucks, and cute restaurants was a big plus and gave us a chance to stretch our legs since we weren't sight seeing in the area at all.

Great little house but beds different than description

Property worked great for us. However, beds were not as described. Beds were: 1 queen, 1 bunk bed, 1 twin daybed. We had to have a teen stay on the couch to mske it work.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 17, 2024
Hi Joe we pride ourselves with how quickly we respond. If you had messaged us we would have been able to send you the solution. The house has a queen bed, a bunk bed that is full over full and the twin day bed pulls out to a king bed, as it shows on the description and the pictures.
