We chose this location because it was half way between Santa Barbara and Disneyland and we have lots of family and friends in the area. Colleen was very responsive and helpful offering detailed information about the property and how to get to the location, which was just perfect for our needs. This house is in a quiet neighborhood , very close to shopping and restaurants and only a 30 minute drive to Malibu. The house is perfect for families and has the most amenities of any VRBO, I've ever stayed in. The yard is beautiful as is the decor inside the house. The beds are VERY comfortable. We used the Nespresso machine and frother a lot and loved bright and cheery kitchen. There is a step down at the entrance, which a few of us fell into, but did not get hurt. Not sure how to make it more visible/obvious but that is the only suggestion that I have to offer. I hope that Colleen will rent to us again, because we really loved the house and all that it offered. P.S. We hid the Easter eggs in the yard and on Easter Sunday an adorable bunny came and was sitting next to one of the plastic eggs. Colleen is so thoughtful, I thought maybe she had placed one in the yard to make our day more magical.
