My family and I were very happy at Kathy’s house. We spent a month and a half there. She was always attentive throughout our stay and her place is very well equipped: it had everything we needed and much more. The location is great, only 10-15 minutes to Fashion Valley shops, beaches, and downtown; 40 minutes to Legoland.
If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet stay, this is your ideal place.
Note for families with young children: We feel that University Canyon West is not a place for families with young kids. Don't get me wrong, Kathy's place is fantastic and she's a phenomenal host. However, the Homeowners Association at University Canyon West community is very, very strict. Our kids are young and noisy and throughout our stay we felt under the neighbors' scrutiny most of the time. We also felt intimidated by the strict rules enforced at the pool area (and at UCW in general) regarding kids. That made us feel a bit uncomfortable to be honest. Nonetheless, we'd like to stress that Kathy's house is great and she is a fantastic host.
