Perfect House for Daughter's Simi Valley Wedding

This house was perfect in every way. The location was perfect, the outside area is spectacular and the house itself was comfortable with plenty of room and amenities. We have stayed in multiple VRBO homes and we always look for a Premiere Host. All are very good but no one has ever been as responsive, helpful and engaging as Karen. Would highly recommend this home!

Outstanding Stay, Host with an Outdoor Oasis!

Just Awesome! My husband and I traveled to the area with our parents for a long weekend to cheer on our daughter and her soccer team. Karen's house was the perfect spot for us. Kitchen was well stocked with all needed utensils. Each couple had their own bathroom, and living and dining areas were roomy and spacious. We had multiple family members who live in the area, who joined us for dinner and the indoor table space easily accommodated>10 for a celebration dinner after my daughter's team won. The outdoor space was and is amazing!The backyard backs up to open space and the space is calming and gorgeous. We used the multiple outdoor seating areas throughout the day, including the fire pit and the elevated porch area. The ping pong table, cornhole and yard axe throwing games were a great complement to the space. While the wind did not comply with us using the pool, it was clean and sparkling. Karen was an awesome host. She was prompt to answer questions and sent check-in and house information prior to arrival. She left us a welcome bottle of wine and even left directions to our soccer site. The extra thought Karen put into our stay was just above expectations. If we ever back out to the area with a group, will definitely look to rebook!

Why they chose this property

You can live the California Lifestyle in our home. The 101 freeway is located 2 miles from our home. Los Angeles & Santa Barbara (40 min), Ojai (45 min), Santa Ynez Wine Country (90 min). Beautiful Malibu Beach just 12 miles away is located on Pacific Coast Highway making Santa Monica & The Getty Museum very accessible. Day trips to Disneyland, California Adventures, Knott's Berry Farm, Newport & Laguna Beach are always memorable as is a trip to Catalina Island. Property backs up to some of the best mountain biking trails in SoCal. Enjoy the raw feel of wildlife and the great outdoors on the quiet and private backyard hillside deck. As you meander down our Canyon roads, be sure to ask about one of the area wineries, conveniently located between Westlake Village and Malibu!

Guest access

What makes this property unique

Guests have 100% access to the entire home. The guesthouse on the property is not accessible and is occupied, however, you have full use of the attached outdoor BBQ and wet bar. (The occupant is a flight attendant and will not be there when there are guests in the main house and does not share the backyard).

Out of respect for the privacy and quiet of our neighborhood, I will no longer allow large events. My home is the perfect set up for the bridal parties to get ready and dressed since my location is near many of the popular nearby wedding locations. The master bath is a very large area that can accommodate hairstylists, makeup artists, etc. Please inquire regarding other events such as family reunions, etc. There are additional fees for events. Please contact me. Thank you.
