This was a fantastic staycation! Cute upgraded pool house with full kitchen and two baths, plus onsite laundry to keep your bathing suit and towels fresh (just bring enough quarters). Fully equipped with all of the "extras" you might need for cooking/cleaning etc. The pool was the major draw and it was excellent. For a fall stay the water was cool but you get used to it quickly and it was quite refreshing. The outdoor area is huge with lots of seating options. Beautiful view overlooking LA/South Bay cities and super quiet. We were locals but felt like we were getting away. Hosts were very helpful and on hand if you need them but they give you your privacy too. Dogs were definitely part of the package, but agree with others that they are very well trained. Our guest of honor liked visiting with them, though if you aren't into dogs you would have to get used to them. Very friendly though. It may be a bit tight inside for more than four adults in my opinion, but the outside space makes it feel much larger. Would definitely recommend for the charm and friendliness and remote feel even though it's not too far from the city!! Two thumbs up!!
