About this property

Private Garden Home with Large Saltwater Pool, Serene Office, Fireplace etc.

Nestled on a quiet tree lined cul de sac in beautiful Valley Village, this charming home is set in a garden on a quarter acre lot with a circular drive and covered parking. It features a salt water pool large enough for laps, a wood burning fireplace, and a large office perfect for an executive in town to work and relax. It’s only minutes from Studio City, Disney, Warner Brothers, CBS, Universal Studios and the Burbank airport. This quiet neighborhood is also near the Metro station, NOHO Arts District, the Television Academy and trendy eateries and shopping on Ventura Blvd. A short drive takes you to downtown LA, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, West LA, Santa Monica and LAX.

The open and airy design includes a large office, family room, two generous sized bedrooms, master bath and central hall bath with original tile. In the office an expansive desk looks out on the front garden, and is complete with wireless printer/scanner, a large comfortable couch and a CD/stereo. The family room has the fireplace, smart TV with DVD player, an oversized comfy sleeper couch for additional guests, and dining area with four high seats for a view of the garden. Glass doors open onto the outdoor sitting area and secluded pool. Both bedrooms have large closets and queen size beds complete with high quality linens, pillows and comforters. The master bedroom has a mirrored dressing room, glass doors opening onto a patio and path to the pool, and marble vanity in the master bath. Both bathrooms have generous tubs and a shower. The fully equipped kitchen has granite counters, a farmers sink and door leading to the outdoor gas barbecue. Hardwood and bamboo floors run throughout the entire home.

Our aim is to provide a completely comfortable living environment. Everything you may need is waiting for you, just bring your suitcase!

The outdoor living space is paved with blended slate stone pavers and features a generously sized pool surrounded by blooming vines, bamboo and trees creating a private space for lounging in the sun or dining under the umbrella at the table next to the pool. Although the pool is behind a locked gate and tall fence that surrounds the garden area, there is no perimeter fence between the pool and the house. Thus it is not safe for unattended children.

The garden changes with the seasons and often features blooming flowers and trees. Hummingbirds and butterflies are frequent guests. Just last year a mourning dove couple raised three chicks in the Staghorn Fern that hangs outside the master bedroom.

Cable TV with Netflix and HBO, Wireless internet, wireless printer/scanner, washer & dryer, microwave, ice-maker, central air conditioning and heat, iron & ironing board,. Cleaning is required bi-weekly (additional charge) but available more frequently on request.

We provide environmentally sustainable cleaning products for laundry and dishwasher as well as "no trees were harmed" facial tissues and TP.

The owner has an office on site in a separate building and is available for assistance and recommendations.

This is a treasured home and garden with beautiful furnishings and accessories. We hope it will provide our guests a retreat from the noise and stress of travel and a new city. Take a moment to sit in the garden. Sip a glass of wine while you watch the hummingbirds and butterflies flit through the flowers. We want you to feel at home and comfortable for every moment of your visit. No filming or parties allowed unless by separate written agreement.

Great Stay, Great Location, Great Host

We had a fantastic two-week stay in Valley Village at Ree's property. The house is in immaculate condition and the pool was a luxurious feature after so many hot work days. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, walkable to North Hollywood and Studio City. Our pup had a wonderful stay as well. Ree was beyond officiant and responded within minutes with any questions. One of the best hosts we've encountered. Would love to stay again!

Comfortable stay with great host

This property has everything you need for a comfortable stay to enjoy Los Angeles. The house is equipped with everything you need and more, the location is great and the neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and safe. Though we didn't use it (weather), the garden and pool are the property's highlights. Ree was a perfect host, on hand if we needed her and we appreciated her generosity and hospitality.

Fun, comfortable house with a great location

We had a lovely, comfortable stay. The pool and the outside gardens were delightful. The house (beds, bathrooms, shower, back yard, parking, living room) is comfortable. It was a bit difficult for us to keep the kitchen clean (we cook a lot) and there is no dining room per se, but otherwise the kitchen was functional and we could eat in the lovely back yard. The location in the east San Fernando Valley is excellent, with easy access to downtown, Hollywood, the Santa Monica mountains, and the Valley. Checking in and out were easy, and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Thank you!

Amazing, comfortable and relaxing!

We loved this place! It was comfortable, relaxing, and felt like ours. It has everything you'd need, and more. The backyard is so serene, we could sit out there all day. Ree and Lawerence were awesome hosts and such nice people. If there was anything we needed, they had it or went to get it. We are definitely coming back to stay there!

Great house, great stay

My family had a great time at this pool-centric house. We were happy with the rooms and bathrooms, and the backyard was fantistic. We spent half of our visit around the pool. The location is very convenient to a number of LA attractions, and the neighborhood has great food and plenty of markets. The owner was there to welcome us and was very warm and helpful. Highly recommended. I have taken many trips to LA with my family and this is one of the best places we have stayed.

Relaxing Family Vacation

We choose this property because it was near my kids and it surpassed our expectations. It’s immaculate, totally stocked, so comfortable yet charming. Ree was the perfect host. She’s available for any concerns yet totally respects your privacy. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable with clean linens, a beautiful salt water pool, gorgeous landscaping, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, wonderful showers and a washer and dryer (nicer than my own lol) right in the unit. We will definitely try to come back next year and this will always be our first choice of where to stay when we visit our son and his family. Thank you Ree for a wonderful and unforgettable stay!

Excellent Home away from home stay..

No funny surprises here, just as described. Everything was excellent. Pool and yard were beautiful a real sun trap, we enjoyed lots of time relaxing in the pool! We used the barbecue on several occasion’s. Ree’s home has a warm welcoming feeling, lovely linens, and everything you need for your stay. The house is situated on quiet culdesac, and with 10 minute drive from Ventura Blv where you’ll find a huge selection of excellent restaurants! But many great take outs 5 minutes away on Laura Canyon. Universal is 10 minute drive away, for a fun day out. Other great LA stops are between 20/30 minutes away. We have holidayed in LA for past 8 years, in many houses, I would certainly highly recommend Ree’s house, and we will be back.

Even better than expected!

Loved every moment spent at this California home. It’s bigger than it looks in the photos, the garden is lovely, the pool is brilliant, large and wonderfully filtered. Most importantly the area is lovely, safe and in a quiet cul-de-sac. Ree is the ultimate host and readily available to help or advise with anything. It suited our family of four, which includes two teenagers ideally and is located within 10-20 mins of Universal, Warner Bros, Beverley Hills, Rodeo Drive etc. 30 mins is Six Flags and 45 the beach at Santa Monica. Disney and Knotts Berry are 45-60 mins away. Plenty of places nearby to shop, eat and take in all that sunshine and California vibe. We absolutely loved it and will return as soon as we can.

Fantastic LA visit experience

We absolutely loved Ree and her house. Ree was very nice and showed us the ropes of the place when we got in. She was so gracious to allow our golden retriever to join us and swim in her wonderful pool. She wqs always available to answer questions immediately and address any issues, which we did not have. Our house was very comfortable to live in for 3 weeks and work from home. We loved her pool and swam laps every day. The house was in a very central location that allowed us to go into the office in santa monica and explore all hollywood had to offer as well as malibu and even orange county. We loved having grocery stores walking distance. It was absolutely the best trip we could have hoped for and will definitely return when in LA again.

Home away from Home

This was the perfect spot for our stay while my daughter participated in a film and acting camp. She was very busy and Ree's house, garden and pool were very relaxing after long days of work. Our family enjoyed the garden and pool and the location which was close to all the activities we wanted. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare meals. Grocery shopping is close by as well as other services; post office, shipping services and restaurants. We very quickly made this our "home away from home" for a couple of weeks this summer. Ree's garden provided a lovely backdrop and the pleasure of seeing and hearing birds, especially humming birds, during our stay. I was able to use the office space to take care of our business while I was there. Thank you Ree for a lovely home away from home. We look forward to returning in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Ree

Host profile image
Having traveled extensively through my work in film production, I always yearn for a relaxed private environment when staying in a new city. I hope to provide that special level of comfort and convenience to my guests.

Why they chose this property

For me this property is unique and private due to it's location off the main streets on a cul de sac with little traffic. I love the quiet tree lined streets of Valley Village. My favorite spot to hang out is the covered lounge next to the pool where I can contemplate the expanse of blue water or dive in and swim a few laps. The salt water pool is not heated, but warm from July to September although I swim in June and October!

What makes this property unique

This is a classic 1940's style home, unpretentious but appointed with quality like Anderson windows and doors, oriental carpets and granite and marble countertops. In the winter, I enjoy nothing more than sitting by the wood burning fireplace and sipping a glass of wine. The large desk and office provide a great creative working environment with a large couch for guests or a quiet nap!
