Why they chose this property
The weather in the Valley is amazing and there's always something to do in this inclusive and diverse community. It's an amazing place to call home and yet still be near some of the best attractions in Southern CA.
What makes this property unique
It's not a "vacation" rental it's a home that's been lovingly curated and designed over the years. It's become such a must have destination among our friends and family that we've decided to open it for bookings when we aren't in residence. It's brought joy and a boat load of memories to so many and we know it will do that same for our guests.
