I don’t even know where or how to begin, but our stay was just perfect. I booked this stay a little last minute because my sister delivered her surrogate twins unexpectedly and she had some severe complications. To celebrate her being alive and to help her relax, feel comfortable while not having to worry about entertaining or driving our kids around in the summer heat, I decided to book our stay here. I’m not really familiar with SoCal, so I didn’t know the location, but this place was beautiful, it had a pool and it was available. That was pretty much all I needed and our stay exceeded my expectations. Gracemarie responded promptly to all my requests/communication even prior to our arrival. I didn’t know how far the location was from my sister (Well, technically, it’s close, but I didn’t take LA traffic into account). We were miserable driving in traffic in the summer sun, so coming “home” to this haven was simply everything we could’ve asked for. A beautiful home with lots of room, a pool with precisely perfect temperature water (not too cold but just enough to cool us down from the heat), a grill, A/C, AND a batch of yummy chocolate chip cookies to welcome us. We really didn’t need to leave the house. But when we did (to stock up on groceries and to buy crystals for the kids), the location was close to everything we needed (both places were only about 1/2 a mile away). We practically lived in the pool, made full use of the well stocked kitchen, the grill and their laundry facilities. It was like being at a resort AND at home, all in one. It was everything we all didn’t know we needed (but Gracemarie seemed to know exactly what we needed and she was right). THANK YOU!
