We stayed at Kacy’s with our two girls, ages 7 and 5, during their school spring break. Purpose of trip was to visit family in nearby Burbank. We wanted a private home that could accommodate our pool-loving children who are used to vacationing in hot climates in southern Florida and the Caribbean. To them it’s not a “real” vacation without swimming whenever they feel like it.
The only thing that disappointed us during our trip was the weather. If you and your kids practice water safety, this place will not disappoint. Pool is heated thankfully but if you are used to really warm bath-like water you might want to ask if you can adjust the pool heating schedule. It took a few hours to properly warm up enough for me to brave it willingly. We just made it a game of “how tough can you be” and they were fine during the warmer parts of the day.
My husband and I are a little paranoid so we slept downstairs and let the girls have the upstairs “grown up” bedroom. We had activities planned each day so for us the pool was just something to keep them off of screens during down time at the house. They have plenty of entertainment options so you don’t need to bring your own device though my kids are fascinated by “live” tv so we just put on the Disney channel and laughed about their fascination over infomercials. My 5 year old beckoned me to show me the product I needed to buy immediately to stop wrinkles like the grandmas on this “show” she was watching.
Comfy beds for my fellow high-maintenance “down-hounds” who make room for down pillows no matter how short the stay. Loved having three full bathrooms so I could have “mommy’s bathroom” like at home.
Smartly decorated with mid-century touches throughout. It’s “very LA”, said my 25 year-old local brother. Lots of reading material for the bookish. Plenty of space for groceries and cooking at home though we never did more than use the toaster and boil some eggs.
