As I sit here on a dreary Ohio day writing this review, lamenting the cold and rainy weather, I am happily reminiscing about our time in sunny California at Sarah's incredible property. This place is by far, the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. It is so pretty in fact that I would say the pictures absolutely do not do it justice, it truly is over the top and feels like a mini resort. The garden and outdoor spaces of the place are a micro, at-home version of the incredible Huntington Botanical Gardens nearby (which I also highly recommend).
Sarah and her husband are wonderful people and were a pleasure to talk to. The place is as exactly as described -- and in reality, much better than described. Sarah was also very accommodating in letting us have a friend in the area check in for us before we landed. Our flight got in after midnight, so this allowed us to not have to book another place for our first night in LA.
I do want to make note of the fact that at the time we stayed, there were a few others seen frequently on the property. I believe at the time the owners had relatives staying with them, and landscaper(s) who were tending to the garden and outdoor spaces daily. If you are looking for complete privacy, be advised there may be others around, but this was not a problem for my wife and I.
By the end of our stay, I felt almost regretful I didn't spend more time here sunbathing and relaxing, and enjoying another cup of coffee by the flowers, because it truly was a delight. This place is a rare gem and I highly, highly recommend it. If they will have us we would love to return in the future!
