REVIEWS: Steven's Review Jul 1 - Aug 1 The only reason we’re giving Kathy and Phil 5 stars is because you can’t give 6 stars. I needed a place to rehab and relax after a surgery and this guesthouse was exactly what the doctor ordered. I know the neighborhood well as it is one of the nicest in the Valley. A safe, suburban enclave on a huge lot. Close enough to the touristy areas, while not being in the tourist area. We felt fortunate that Phil and Kathy’s place was available. Booking was easy. Check-in was even easier. Just picked up the keys and the gate clicker from inside poolhouse. The guesthouse is across the pool from the main house. Perfect location to give you privacy, yet not feel completely isolated. There is, however, a completely private backyard with seating areas in the back of this back house if feeling isolated is your thing. It’s a cute place. Nice living room area. Comfortable couch. Dining area with a wall of lighted glass cabinets. Two bedrooms, both with direct access to the outdoors. Nice bathroom. Very clean. Plenty of storage. Funny, the shower was my one hesitation based on the pics I saw before I came. But it was actually really nice. Much larger than it looked in the pics, with a 3 wall curtain that turns it into an enclosed shower. The place is stocked with everything you need, and I mean everything. I’d say just bring your toothbrush, but there were actually toothbrushes there. And bandaids, facial masks, hair products, nail files, pain relievers, sun block, pepto bismal, antacids, calamine lotion, dental floss, sewing kit, towels, slippers, robes, all the pots and pans you’ll need, dishes, glasses, oatmeal, soup, diced peaches...even an unopened box of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. I forgot my heating pad. No problem, there was a heating pad in the closet. There are 3 flat screen tv’s all with cable, a bunch of premium movie channels and NetFlix . And the wi fi works perfectly. Kathy has made a pool house guide. Passwords and everything you need are in the guide. The grounds and the pool are beautiful. Kathy has set up all these little seating areas around the property (it’s a huge property) from swing sets in the front to a really nice gazebo in the back. The area in front of the guesthouse has about a dozen comfy chairs and a few tables under shade as well. Just a really nice place to hang out. The pool was perfect. It was in the 90s a lot of the time, and we spent a lot of time in the pool. We loved the pool. Our host, Kathy and Phil, were great. Really nice people. Friendly and attentive. We actually spent some time hanging out with them a little. Just talking. Well it was mostly my wife and Kathy that talked. But Phil and I listened :) By the way, the absolute best deli in Southern California, according to Zagot and me, Brent’s Deli, is 7 minutes away. Take out and delivery are available. We would highly recommend Kathy and Phil’s guesthouse. It was a great place and a great experience. Wish we could have stayed longer. Steve and Tashi
Kaylee The Poolhouse is an absolute paradise, from the pool, to the spa and outdoor seating; the pictures don’t do it justice. Had an amazing bed that was so comfy and the closet was complimented with robes and slippers which was really a considerate touch. Had a sound machine , an Alexa, and a sound canceling machine. They also had snacks, soda, wine, a stocked medicine cabinet... anything you could possibly need. They really put a lot of effort into making sure our stay was perfect. It was also so nice of Kathy to be able to get us guest passes to “the magic castle,” which is member only. It was an absolutely amazing show and the dinner was to die for. I’ve never experienced something like that and I can assure you I’ll be coming back for that. The house was in such a good location; only about 20 minutes away from everything you’ll be wanting to see. Furthermore, Kathy and the co-hosts made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, and provided us with recommendations on what to do locally which we loved!! Don’t miss out on this one!!!
Angelo WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Philip, Kathleen and Ashley were great host and were very professional from the start. As soon as we booked our trip, Ashley sent us an email within minutes and confirmed our stay. Ashely was great at answering all the emails leading up to our vacation. The place was amazing and definitely better than the photos. They have a huge outside living area with multiple spots to hang out. The swimming pool was great and the two fire pits add a nice touch. The backyard/plants are well maintained. As soon as we got there, we were blown away on what was offered. Bottles of wine and cider was waiting for us. The also had a great selection of coffee, which made our morning exciting (choosing one flavor over another). They have everything in that room, from extra towels, utensils, wine glasses, toiletries, microwave, etc.. etc.. etc... They also have embraced technology. They have Alexa there (amazon echo) and a device that measures your sleep - very cool! Bed is amazing and the room is very clean. They are located outside your typical LA toursity places. There is really no central place in LA, but we thought the location was great. Yes, you do have to drive everywhere, but that is all LA. We actually appreciated that we were outside the hustle and bustle of downtown LA/Sta Monica, but we had our own oasis. Everywhere was max 30 min drive (as long as you don't hit rush hour). Lastly, Philip, Kathleen and Ashely were great hosts. They were super nice, very helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations on what to do and where to eat. They were also very accommodating.

Kathy and Phil are great hosts. They were available whenever needed and even helped us with a party for our family. Their poolhouse is very comfortable and stocked with anything you might need. We look forward to staying with them again.
This is the most peaceful and relaxing place in the valley that I have stayed. Which is why I am a repeat guest. A resort unto itself with simply everything you could ask for. I'll be back !!
Kathy and Phil are truly extraordinary hosts. From the beginning, Kathy went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable. Before we arrived, she was shopping for us and asking what we needed. When I shared my fragrance sensitivities, she thoughtfully had fragrance-free detergent ready.We were welcomed with cinnamon rolls, danishes, fruit, and complimentary drinks. The home is full of wonderful surprises: a massage gun, a heating pad, and a magnificent, fully stocked medicine cabinet. If you forgot it, they have it!Our situation was unique—we weren’t on vacation but displaced due to water damage and mold. Kathy showed incredible compassion and made my son and me feel completely at home. Our dog, Lincoln, was also warmly welcomed.The property feels like a hidden retreat—quiet, peaceful, and removed from the outside world, yet close to everything.The home was beautifully maintained and includes a high-end workout mirror. The property and the private backyard, breathtaking! I’m sensitive to chlorine, and Phil emptied and refilled the jacuzzi with fresh water just for us. That level of care is rare.What began as a difficult situation ended up feeling like a place of healing. Kathy and Phil are exceptional hosts. We are so grateful and will never forget the kindness we were shown.Highly recommended!
Omg! Our stay is never long enough! We love this oasis, this retreat from the LA. What a perfect sanctuary anytime of year. As always, Kathy and Phil made our stay exceptional and memorable. Thank you.
We spent 12 days in the pool house while my daughter recovered from knee surgery. Our hosts made every effort to make our stay comfortable and easy for recovery. The home is incredibly well stocked with everything you could ever need. It is clean and comfortable and I couldn’t have asked for more! The garden and pool area are lovely and provide such a nice place to relax.
Thank you, Kathy and Phil, for a providing such a wonderful home.
We stayed from July 9-14. Owners were nothing but nice and very helpful. The pool is beautiful! Great place to have a glass of wine in the evening by the firepit or a cup of coffee in the morning. They went above and beyond by supplying shampoo, soaps and many other toiletry items like a fine hotel. The bedrooms were a bit warm on the 95+ degree days and they were nice enough to bring extra fans out for us. Would definitely stay here again if ever in LA area again. Thanks Kathy and Phil for a wonderful stay!!
Kathy's and Phil's heaven on earth never disappoints. Our stay was too short but while we were here we could not have been happier. Everything was perfect. Although the weather was a bit chilly, we were able to stay warm snuggled up in furry blankets and entertained with good books to read and movies to watch. Their well appointed kitchen made going out unnecessary, so we just stayed in a chilled. Best get-a-way yet! Thank you to our wonderful hosts! Fondly, Susan and Alan
We were looking for a nice quiet place with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen that had some outdoor space for us to enjoy after my son had surgery while also working remotely during the week. The cottage was perfect. Kathy thought of everything that you might want while you are away including toiletries and snacks and coffee. The extra large and soft towels, robes and slippers made the place feel like we were staying in luxury accommodations while the blankets available in the living room to put over us while we watched tv in the evening made us feel at home. We cooked in some nights and had everything we needed and also enjoyed adventuring to places near by to eat out. It was an easy trip to Santa Monica, the Getty and Malibu for some fun adventures. The only complaint I had was that I had was that it was a little too cool out for me to go swimming. I will definitely enjoy the pool and spa next time. Kathy and Phil were also wonderful hosts. Thank you! Until next time!
Kathy and Jeff's pool house home was amazing! The hosts thought of everything; from bottle openers to muffin pans, from cotton balls to make-up wipes, from plush bathrobes to ample bath towels, from a beach cooler to suntan lotion to beach/pool towels, from secure parking to jumper cables, from Tempur-pedic beds to a wireless sleep tracker, from a hanging punching bag to a smart fitness/work-out mirror, AND even cold drinks and fresh fruit upon arrival! THEY PROVIDED IT ALL - without any extra fees. With gardens, pool, gazebo, hot tub, barbeque grill, fire pits, festive night lighting, numerous sitting and lounging areas, it truly is a garden retreat - A perfect escape from Hollywood. The interior of the VRBO home rivaled the grounds. Each room had double French doors opening to the manicured grounds, providing that renowned CA indoor-outdoor living. The two bedrooms were spacious and provide ample hanging and drawer space. Each bedroom had a swiveling TV and remote. The living room had a large 60 inch TV, soft seating, a desk, and decorative lighting. The full kitchen was equipped with a toaster oven, a Keurig Coffee Maker with a grand selection of K cups, a toaster, microwave, full refrigerator with ice maker, oven and stove, dual sinks and dishwasher. Packaged foods such as oatmeal, pasta, tomato sauce, crackers, and dried soups stocked the pantry. The hosts could not have been friendlier, or more accommodating. Love them, love the place, love VRBO! The Best Ever!!
This is a gem of a place in a busy city. Quiet, peaceful and safe. The hosts Kathy and Phillip were friendly, professional and caring. The pool house was comfortable and COMPLETELY STOCKED!!! Best medicine cabinet I have ever seen!!! We were there for a month and so happy we found this place. They made us feel like family but at the same time we had our privacy!!! Kathy goes the extra mile and even had outdoor activities for my 5 year old grandson including soccer ball and nets, baseballs, whiffle balls, bats, bases to run, giant bowling set and safe magnetic darts!!!! I recommend this property 200% and cant wait to stay again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!
We had a mini family get away for the first time with our 6 month old son and it was perfect! Our son loved looking at all plants and flowers. We even watched birds.
We really enjoyed our stay with Kathy. Her pool house was clean and adorable. She had so many thoughtful supplies and snacks (much appreciated by my teenage boys)! Kathy was an attentive and friendly host. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything is as advertised, in fact exceeded. Kathy is a very warm, friendly person. The neighborhood is good and the property is gated and secure.
We highly recommend here.

The perfect little oasis in Northridge/Sherwood Forest. This is the most well-equipped place you will find. It is a stand-alone pool house behind the main house with a large pool in between. BBQ, flat screen TV's, gated entry and comfortable accommodations. Would definitely stay here again. Phillip and Kathy were the perfect hosts.
I didn't want to leave! I loved everything about this property and we enjoyed every minute. Just wished we had more days to stay there. Kathy is A+++ super host and so thoughtful, kind, generous, detailed, and organized. I love her taste in decor. We chose this property based on the reviews and it is exactly as everyone says. Would love to stay again.
What a wonderful place to stay ! We’ve had the warmest welcome, sodas & wine in the fridge, snacks & all kinds of supplies are all complimentary. So no need to rush to the store when you arrive. The pool and jacuzzi, the backyard, the patio, ... everything is so nicely decorated and just a great place to hang out together as a family or with friends. The location is also perfect : easy to reach, safe & secure parking, perfect for visiting Hollywood, Santa Monica, universal Studios, Griffith observatory, ... close to Burbank airport as well. And it’s a great place to hang out in case you don’t feel like driving around because this place has everything you need. Having a coffee in the morning by the pool, enjoying the birds singing, looking at the hummingbird and the squirrel (only saw it at 9 am :-) !) - what a great way of starting the day.
Kathy gave us plenty of tips & tricks for visiting, restaurants, ... she’s a wonderful person and we ABSOLUTELY LOVED our stay (didn’t want to go home :-))
We loved our stay here. The pool house was so charming and we loved all the little touches to make it more inviting, all the complimentary items and even fresh flowers!!
What’s not to love about this place. Every picture posted and every description is accurate. We were 2 couples traveling together and this was a great location for our home base while we were in town for a wedding and visiting the L.A. area. Kathy and family are wonderful hosts. The pool house has everything one would need. They have it stocked with things in case you’ve forgotten anything or even need a snack. Many special touches have been made to make you feel comfortable. Two bedrooms with space to hang clothes or put in drawers. We utilized both since we were there for 8 nights. Also, very convenient was the washer and dryer. It was so nice to be able to go home with little dirty laundry. The kitchen is stocked with many things!! We found the inside to be very relaxing. The outside is more than relaxing. We had breakfast by the pool almost every morning, enjoyed swimming late morning, and then we would enjoy having a glass of wine while talking and listening to music by the pool at night.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat! We enjoyed the owners, their property, and their communication with you is top notch. All four of us highly recommend this property.
The pool house suited our needs just fine. The pool area was great and the hosts were accommodating and kind. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean.
