GUEST REVIEWS: (posted on other sites)
December 2019 Shelly’s home is 100% as advertised. All photos and descriptions are accurate. The home is warm as well-appointed. The kitchen was well-stocked with all things needed to cook for and serve group dinners. Spa and pool area is very clean and cozy as a hangout spot. Location is super convenient to shopping, beach and restaurants. Ample parking for our fours cars in driveway and on street.
Shelly is an awesome host. She was timely and complete in all her communication. Check-in/out was easy. We appreciated her extra touches; detailed instruction booklet on house appliances and electronics, large air mattress with pump, Bluetooth speaker and Nespresso machine. Thanks Shelly, you’re the type of host that makes us come back to again and again! Kevin, Western Springs, IL
December 2019 We recently stayed in Shelly’s home for the holidays and her place was decorated to the nines, all we had to do was bring in gifts and place them under the tree and we were ready to go for Christmas. The house was exactly as described and appointed with all the amenities we needed. Great location and wonderfully responsive host who was very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in great comfort and we would definitely recommend this home. Scott, Thousand Oaks, CA
November 2019 Private South OC Oasis, this property is a gem! The home is spacious with an incredible kitchen including a coffee and wine bar, comfortable beds, gorgeous tiered backyard with outdoor fireplace on the lower level and a fabulous pool and spa on the upper level. I loved waking up to the partial ocean view each morning in the master suite, which by the way has an amazing shower! It seemed like we were on vacation, in a private villa, when in reality we were staying there due to being displaced from our own home while repairs were taking place from a slab leak. It’s not easy trying to find a home that’s adequate to house a large family, not to mention a large family with dogs! The owners were understanding of our situation and we are grateful that they accepted our rental request. Michelle, Laguna Hills, CA
