We really enjoyed our stay. For the price, the location, indoor and outdoor spaces were substantial. We had a large family gathering in Los Angeles and the space housed us well. Interior needs updating, but it was very reasonable, as is, for the price. Beautiful views would stay again.
The outdoor space is phenomenal. While it was too chilly for us to use the pool, we spent loads of time lounging on the roof deck couches and sitting around the fire pit. The views of the city and the surrounding mountains are stunning. The house itself is really unique - I’d love to know more about its history. The rooms are very spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Tim was an exceptional host. He kept the house better stocked than any VRBO we’ve been to - with everything from bathroom toiletries to kitchen condiments to plentiful towels - and communicated with me regularly through the VRBO chat. We also appreciated the EV charger in the garage. The location of the house is excellent - 15 to 30 minutes drive from everything we wanted to do and see. We would definitely return the next time we’re in LA.

About the host
Hosted by Tim
Hi, I'm Tim — I've been hosting for 10 years and I personally manage Vista Villa. I love creating spaces where people can unwind, reconnect, and feel at home, and I obsess over the details that make the difference between a good stay and one you remember. I respond quickly (usually within minutes), keep the home dialed in based on past guest feedback, and I'm one message away during your stay if anything comes up.
Why they chose this property
Sherman Oaks gives you the rare combo of LA convenience without LA noise. The home sits on a quiet hillside street with mountain-to-mountain valley views — and a five-minute walk down the hill puts you on Ventura Boulevard, one of the city's best food strips. Anajak Thai, Casa Vega, Boulevard Steak, Front Yard, Bacari, plus Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are all within walking distance. Universal Studios is 10 minutes by car. The neighborhood feel of a residential hillside while still being inside LA — best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Three things travelers don't expect:
The rooftop gazebo. It seats twelve under twinkle lights and curtains, and the mountain-to-mountain valley views from up there at sunset are easily the best moment of most stays — guests have hosted small wedding ceremonies and milestone birthdays here.
The kitchen is built for actual hosting. Double wall ovens, Breville espresso machine, full spice rack, cookware for twelve. Past guests have made carne asada feasts for ten without missing a tool.
A saltwater pool (3-6 ft, professionally serviced every Monday) with cushioned loungers, umbrellas, and a chest of floats — plus a hidden teak nook with a gas fire-table mid-deck for late-night drinks.
Add two living rooms (PS5 + Xbox + 75″ TV), a fast EV charger in the garage, and a Japanese-inspired master suite with oversized soaking tub. Sherman Oaks quiet, all of LA close.
