We truly could not have chosen a more beautiful home or a more wonderful host for such a special weekend! We stayed at Karen’s home for our son’s wedding weekend and hosted his rehearsal dinner there, and everything was absolutely perfect.The home is even more gorgeous in person beautiful, welcoming, spacious, and so well cared for. Our rehearsal dinner was a total success, and having it in such a beautiful setting made the evening even more memorable.Karen was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and all the little gestures throughout our stay did not go unnoticed. She genuinely made us feel at home and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was special.We are so incredibly happy we chose Karen’s beautiful home to be part of such an important weekend for our family. We made memories here that we will cherish forever. I would absolutely recommend this home and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Karen, for everything!

This is beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for. The pool, hot tub, and landscaped yard are a paradise. Karen was a great hostess. This location offered an easy drive to local restaurants and stores. Because it is in a neighborhood Door Dashing food was available for nights we wanted to stay in. We had a fantastic time.

Absolutely amazing property and owner

If I could give this place and Karen 100 stars I would. Not only was she super responsive for any questions or help I needed, she went above and beyond by bringing in our groceries when our flight was late. And the pictures don't lie, the outdoor space is amazing. House was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We hope to stay here again some day.

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!

we had a fabulous time during our stay in this location in Westlake. Home is beautiful and clean, and fully equipped with anything you need for your stay. It is located in a very private, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood. The amenities are incredible. My family had a great time in the pool and enjoyed the spacious backyard. The host is amazing. She is available any time, and communicated with us and checked in with us. I would recommend this location and would love to stay again.

Daughter’s Wedding Trip

THE HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL! My family and I were in town for my daughter‘s wedding. We chose this beautiful home to house my family and her bridesmaids. We had a wonderful stay! And our host was so easy to work with, to chat with, and she was so available for us. We did not run into any problems at all. The location of the house was perfect. It was close enough to the venue as well as many restaurants, stores, and even grocery stores. I will most definitely stay here again if I come back into the area.

Family reunion

This house was perfect for our family reunion. Two families with six kids stayed here and two more families with three kids stayed at one family’s home nearby. The pool was obviously the big hit, but all enjoyed the many other toys and games and marshmallows at the fire pit. Karen, the owner, was accessible for any questions or issues. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Definitely recommend this house for family gatherings. Close to Malibu beaches, Reagan library, Underwood Farms, Santa Barbara, and many other sights to see the next get together here.

Karen is the ultimate host! This property exceeded our expectations! Karen's attention to detail and care in making this house feel like home did not go unnoticed! From the comfortable beds and the well stocked kitchen (even had skewers for roasting marshmallows in the fire pit), to the attractive interior and GORGEOUS backyard space, Karen left nothing unattended to. We felt at home here. Its simply a lovely property! Book it now!

Beyond our Imagination

Absolutely lovely house and beautiful property. We had a wonderful time. We were able to host a small rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding; and the backyard was absolutely perfect for it. There was something for everyone to do in the spacious grounds. The host was very accommodating and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We look forward to coming back to stay at this house again. Just simply lovely. Thank you Karen!

Reunion

We are seven women who went through school together begging in kindergarten and culminating with our high school graduation. We all celebrated our eightieth birthdays this year and gathered to celebrate and catchup on each others lives. We found the house exceeded our expectations in all ways. It was very clean and well stocked and we had everything we needed. Thank you Karen for making our stay so perfect.
