The backyard includes a beautifully refurbished pool (no pool cover), a curved deck overlooking the pool, an outdoor fire pit, outdoor dining table and all-new landscaping. It is reminiscent of the chic small homes of lower Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades for those familiar with the neighborhoods of LA.

We had such a wonderful stay here. The place was very private, spotless, and an easy walk to town, which made everything so convenient. Parking was simple and stress free, and the whole experience from check in to check out was incredibly smooth. The home itself was comfortable and thoughtfully set up. We even loved the unique clock in the kitchen so much that we are planning to buy one for ourselves. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sonoma.
Wonderful property! Close to town. Clean and beautifully detailed. Everything one could want. We especially loved enjoying the outdoor space. And the fireplace in the chilly mornings made me feel like I was home. I hope to come back and enjoy the house again.
Love love love this place so much! Perfect location

We had a very nice time during our two week stay. Sonoma is a very pleasant place to visit, great restaurants and friendly people. We enjoyed our morning walks.
Outstanding home with great attention to detail. Felt like a Cape Cod type beach house! Outstanding location - easy to walk to the Plaza and enjoy what it has to offer. Great communication and information left in the home. The parking for the home is amazing too!
This was absolutely one of the most special properties we've ever stayed in. It was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. Nothing was missed. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home to anyone looking to enjoy Sonoma and the environs and we can't wait to return!
Great location for walking to fabulous restaurants!

This was the perfect place for two couples to enjoy Sonoma. The house was absolutely amazing. Very high end finishes and furniture. The staff at Beautiful Places was very organized and friendly. We will definitely be back.
We were extremely happy with this home. The location was convenient to downtown Sonoma and short drive to all of the vineyards we visited. The house itself was so charming! We loved the kitchen so much that we cancelled dinner reservations so that we could cook and enjoy more time at the house. We loved the fact that there were 2 king sized beds. And, we enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace each morning as we enjoyed our coffee and munching on apples that we picked from the tree in the backyard. We will definitely request to stay at this property our next visit to Napa Valley!

It is rare that a vacation rental delivers an in-person experience that proves to be even better than the advertising photographs lead you to believe. Lux delivers that from the moment you pull into the drive. Incredible location wrapped up with a lovingly decorated, lavishly furnished, impeccably restored Craftsman-syle home. Absolutely nothing lacking for our party of 4. I'd recommend this management company to anyone.
We feel in love with this property immediately! Even better than the pictures show on the VRBO listing!
Location perfect!!
Backyard is amazing! We didn’t use the beautiful pool but throughly enjoyed coffee in the mornings and great wine in the evenings on the back patio and the fire pit was also a bonus!
The property itself perfect! So well taken care of. We honestly struggled with just staying on the property or going to a wine tasting.. I would highly recommend this property - it was one of the highlights of our trip coming home to a beautiful property to hang out and share wine and great conversation!

We are so glad you loved Lux on First! We hope to host you again -BeautifulPlaces
This home was as advertised and very clean. This was the cleanest rental we have stayed in and beautifully decorated.
I would suggest a keypad for the front door, this is our first rental that we had to keep track of a key and it was a bit of a hassle especially only having one.
Also, we didn't use the pool due to the weather being a bit chilly when we were there but the pool looked a bit unkept. We knew the pool wasn't heated so we were fine with not being able to use it due to weather.

Thank you, Margaret! We are looking into the keyless entry and appreciate the feedback. The pool is cleaned weekly and it seems there was some miscommunication as the pool was heated, the pool is heated Memorial Day through Labor Day. We look forward to hosting you again!
The home was EXACTLY as advertised. If you appreciate the pictures and description of the property, you will not be disappointed. I would absolutely stay at this property again, and/or rent from this property owner/manager, without reservation.The property was beautiful and very well-kept. It is centrally located and very peaceful. The property and home was very clean and well-stocked which made our stay very enjoyable. Everything in the home and yard worked.Communication with the property managers was excellent. They were always available and never intrusive. Any questions that arose were addressed promptly and completely, and they even helped coordinate flower delivery for my wife ahead of our arrival. We TRULY enjoyed our stay.
Amazing location! Easy to walk to dinners, coffee, and breakfast! Relaxing inside area, great kitchen, awesome outdoor fire pit, two king bedrooms, and more! Just wonderful!
Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lux on 1st. So impressed right when we walked through the front door.
The living area is very comfortable. There’s a nice dining table for 6. The kitchen is well stocked to cook in. Nice grill outside.
Speaking of outside, we spent ALOT of time drinking wine around the beautiful fire pit. Depending upon when you visit, watch out for apples falling from the one of the trees that’s close by. Even though the pool isn’t “heated” it was plenty warm.
The Ac worked well. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms have spacious showers & Gilcrest & Soames bath products.
The close proximity to the adorable Sonoma square was so convenient.
We loved breakfast at Sunflower Cafe, dinner at Girl & Fig and Della Santino’s trattoria (cute patio in back).
The only issue we experienced was slow WiFi. It would be nice if they upgraded it.
Highly recommend & would definitely consider coming back when in the area.
Lux on First was in the perfect location! Half a block from Sonoma Plaza and all there is to do in Sonoma. House was incredibly clean and pool/fire pit was an amazing added bonus. The house essentially has two master suites which was perfect for a couple's get away.
This home is gorgeous! Far exceeded our expectations. The home was beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with all modern luxury conveniences. Minutes walk to Sonoma square. Property manager was quick to respond to any questions. We can't wait to stay again!
