About this property

LA Pool & Rooftop Estate – Valley Views – Sleeps 10 – Universal 10 min

Sherman Oaks pool home for groups up to 10 — a quiet residential escape, 10 minutes to Universal Studios, short walk to Ventura Boulevard for dinner. Saltwater pool, rooftop sunset gazebo, gourmet kitchen, gaming lounge, EV charger, pet-friendly. Personally hosted by Tim — most messages answered in minutes.

THE OUTDOOR HEART OF THE HOUSE
Saltwater pool (3-6 ft) with four cushioned loungers and umbrellas, professionally serviced every Monday morning. A floats and noodles chest by the deck. Mid-deck, a hidden teak nook with a gas fire-table for late-night drinks. Up top, a private rooftop gazebo seating ten under twinkle lights and curtains — our favorite spot for valley sunsets, mountain to mountain. Outdoor dining for ten, gas grill, fire pit.

INSIDE FOR HOSTING
The kitchen was set up for actual hosting: double wall ovens, Breville espresso machine, pour-over kit, full spice rack, cookware for ten, dining table that seats eight indoors / ten with the terrace extension. Two living rooms — one with a 75″ 4K TV, soundbar, PS5, and Xbox Series X (kids stay busy, adults take turns). Plenty of board games on the shelf.

THE FOUR BEDROOMS UPSTAIRS
• Master suite — king bed (Japanese-inspired low platform — see photos), oversized soaking tub, rain shower, fireplace
• California king with valley-view Juliet balcony
• Queen with blackout drapes — best room for late sleepers and jet-lagged guests
• Twin beds with sit/stand desk + 49″ monitor — works as a kids' room or remote-work room

Two full bathrooms upstairs, two half baths downstairs. Hotel-style amenities: organic toiletries, robes, slippers, hair dryers.

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.

We stayed here for over 3 weeks and it felt like home. There was so much room for all of us to spread out. I went in the pool almost every day. It’s not heated, but gets plenty of sun. The rooms were all comfortable and we used all 3 fireplaces.The neighborhood below was a clean, safe place to get in our daily walks.Communication with our host was very easy. We’ll be back!Steven

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Host profile image
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 ten 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.

The kitchen is built for actual hosting. Double wall ovens, Breville espresso machine, full spice rack, cookware for ten. Past guests have made carne asada dinners for ten without missing a tool.

A private 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.
