Although you are “technically” renting a room at the Magical Holiday, you’re actually provided so much more. There are at least five themed rental rooms in the house and each one offers you the quiet and privacy that you need. At times you will think you have the whole house to yourself. There is pretty much no amenity not though of and almost nothing is “off limits.”
My room was very spacious (actually two rooms for the price of one). It included black-out curtains and an electric fireplace that also worked as a heater. There is also a television with so many choices, microwave, mini-fridge, huge closet and an amazing (very quiet) whole-house air conditioning and plenty of extra blankets if you need them. (How thoughtful of them to think that guests may have a temperature preference).
I used the shaded seating areas of the quiet backyard to get some work done on my laptop. It is surrounded by nature and there are also plenty of areas to soak up the sun or do some grilling. I would make a coffee from the delicious and well-stocked coffee bar and feel I was in paradise!
These owners really want you to enjoy their home whether that means keeping to yourself in the privacy of your code-locked room; or joining them for an evening of fun and great conversation. My stay included a movie night where they transformed their entire living room into a comfy theater with tons of popcorn, snacks, hot foods, drinks and desserts. After the movie some of the group decided to shoot pool in the game room. I went back to my room and didn’t hear a peep. What you choose to do is optional but the company can’t be beat!
This is my second time staying at the Magical Holiday and I feel so grateful that it is available to anyone for a more-than-affordable price. With the amount of money you save here by having convenient street parking, basically a Starbucks and also not having to pay the ridiculous fees and taxes associated with a California hotel stay, the Magical Holiday can’t be beat! I hope one day you get the chance to experience what Jino and Scott have created in their wonderful home.
