Charming home Universal pool hot tub

The entire house is totally private, and you will find everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible!

A gorgeous open flowing living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and additional air mattresses allow to host up to 10 people.

This was our first staying using Vrbo & we were very happy with the choice we made of staying at this home. Communication with home owner was wonderful, check in was easy, home was inviting & spacious. Location to Universal Studios & Hollywood was great. Waking up with the view of the backyard pool was like being at our own resort. Would highly recommend to others & would return if we came back to California.

The house is really nice, exactly like the photos. Very clean, comfy beds and couch, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood was so lovely — very peaceful, great sidewalks, and not much traffic. A wonderful retreat near all the fun things the city has to offer.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully furnished and the beds and couch were very comfy. The description was spot on. Pool is nice and private and there’s a lovely outdoor patio to relax on. If you are looking for a little oasis conveniently located near the city and all the sites, this is the place! Thank you for having us!

This home was just perfect for our family of 4! The hosts Mike and Julie were extremely responsive and accommodating, and the check in/check out process was seamless. The pool and backyard were our boys’ favorite amenity, and the house is very spacious, modern, well equipped with supplies and household products, and clean. You can tell the owners take great care in maintaining this property. We will most definitely come back to this house for our next LA trip!

Mike and Julie were amazing hosts who accommodated my family last minute after another listing fell through. I booked with Mike and Julie for a staycation for my mother’s 50th birthday. We enjoyed spending time together in the pool and the jacuzzi, as well as cooking in the gorgeous bright kitchen (which was a huge highlight of the trip!). The home is extremely clean, spacious, and well-designed — my mother was so happy and didn’t want to leave! My only regret is not booking more days in this lovely space. I highly recommend this place to any family looking for a beautiful place to rest and relax in the LA area!

We had a perfect time at this house. It was exactly as advertised, maybe bigger than expected. As a family of 5 with kids 4-17, space is essential. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. It was a 15 min from Universal, 30 (on saturday) from the airport. It was about an hour from Disney after rush hour. The pool was lovely and a hit with the kids. We were able to drive a short distance for family hiking and great views. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was straight out of HGTV. So clean. So modern. I literally have zero complaints. The owner responded to my messages pretty much instantly. The linens and beds were so comfy. We had everything we needed. The location was fairly easy to navigate for us, even though we had never been. I feel like i should have written a bad review just so it’s available for us next time!! 😂

We stayed here toward the end of our trip. I was a perfect home for our family of six.Unfortunately we werent able to use the pool due to prior guest failing to take care proper care but the kids were wiped out. Plenty of space for all of us to eat, sleep, and play. Kitchen was great to cook in and beds were very cozy.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Mike and Julie's vacation home. The home itself is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Beautiful pool with hot tub in private backyard. They even have a bench swing on the tree in the front yard! My family of 4 (myself, husband and 2 kids ages 10 and 12) came to visit Universal Studios which is super close by. We also brought our dog which was great because the property even came equipped with a doggy door! We thouroughy enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back if in the area again. I highly recommend!
