All three beautifully furnished bedrooms feature brand-new mattresses for exceptional comfort. The primary suite offers mountain views, private patio access, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and spacious closet, plus a Roku TV for streaming.

We felt very comfortable in the house. It is tastefully, modernly furnished and has a very beautiful garden with a great view of the Catalina Mountains. The garden would contribute even more to the atmosphere in the evening if the lighting/spotlights had not been removed. The cables are clearly visible in the garden. What a pity! Therefore we deduct 1 star for not using the garage

Beautiful home in picturesque neighborhood

This is a beautiful, comfortable, thoughtfully stocked home that was a pleasure for us to stay in. It was spotless, the views are eye candy, and the amenities are plentiful. One star is removed because the garage was off limits; otherwise I’d rate this property 5+ stars!

Lovely home

This home was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped. We found everything we needed and things we forgot to bring. The beds were exceptionally comfortable with hotel quality linen. We are long time friends who travel annually to stay in touch. It was perfect in every way.

Beautiful and convenient

This property was just what we needed! We live locally but needed a temporary place to stay while our son was visiting from out of state. This home is beautiful and stocked full of everything you need for a vacation to feel at home. We enjoyed coffee and work from home with the beautiful backyard view of the Catalina mountain range, and we even had a friendly visit from some wildlife taking shelter from a storm. The rooms are large and conveniently spaced next to each other for easy access and the walk-in closet, large tub and separate shower in the master suite were a definite highlight. Our 1 year old loved the big tub! We also enjoyed the large flatscreen TV in he living room. The home is close to many different spots to hike and grocery stores and activities.
