Kaalomai’s place is an exceptional experience, and a great value. Plus it’s flat-out beautiful. She’s a working artist with a great sense of space and design.
Just a mile and a half from the freeway you leave the suburban sprawl of the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley and enter the Santa Monica Mountain range with rolling hills and big trees. The house is convenient to shopping, the beach, the freeway into the city and everything LA has to offer. High above the city and distant mountain ranges, Kaalomai’s house has epic views, amazing bird watching and awe inspiring sunsets, with sweet little outdoor paths and several seating areas, patios and decks pointed toward the gorgeous views of the valley behind her house. The house itself is full of light, and space and art. Kaalomai’s paintings, and her collection of other artists’ work all have a feeling of joy. The place is just charming, and it's impeccably clean. Her house is full of hospitable touches. There are power outlets with loaner chargers in case you forgot yours, cute towels and wash cloths by the sinks, a basket of loaner deck shoes by the back door, and everything you might need in the kitchen and bathroom to make your stay more comfortable and convenient. Being cat lovers we also very much enjoyed visiting and snuggling with her sweet, adorable kitty Sunshine.
Kaalomai really went out of her way for us, including changing the day her cleaners came, so she could fit us in at the last minute, and showing us cool places to hike and eat. Our stay was so relaxing and fun. We hated to leave. We can’t wait to return, and next time we’ll book a longer stay.
