Gorgeous Spanish Home Villa in a Secret Garden with pool: your OWN resort🕊

"You have to experience this home in person to truly understand how wonderful it is. The property is huge with lots of outside seating areas to enjoy the gorgeous grounds. The grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful flowers and fruit trees everywhere you look. The pool area is stunning with a large, deep pool. Inside, the home is spotless and wonderfully old but with all of the modern amenities you need. Lots of toys for kids to play with. Disneyland is a 25 minute drive away. Lots of good beaches. Luisa is welcoming, warm, responsive and helpful. This is the most amazing place I have ever stayed and I hope to return one day."
This was one of our reviews for our Gorgeous California Spanish style Villa located only 18 miles from downtown LA, airport, beach, Disneyland, breathtaking designed garden, fountain, playground, pool . mountains & any attraction. A truly unique architectural gem with the comfort of today life style surrounded by a Air conditioner & new appliances. A perfect place to feel like in your own resort, relax, create great memories, play the piano, take great pictures & spend a memorable vacations as a couple, with friends or family.
The pool in not heated, only the jacuzzi.
The pool heater is $100/day for the duration of the trip, minimum 3 days, please keep in mind the it takes a least 1 day to get the water warm.
Any other question please let me know & I’ll be happy to assist you🌷

Whittier College Homecoming
We are Whittier college graduates. We were in Whittier to celebrate a friends memorial and also to participate in your college homecoming activities. We chose this VRBO home due to its proximity to the college and the fact that it looked like a quaint, quiet quaint place on-line. Mostly, we enjoyed our stay. The house was very secluded in a nice neighborhood. We were disappointed that Home has some sort of infestation of tiny mosquitoes that we were not forewarned about. My wife and another guest were bitten in what we thought were bedbugs, but turned out to be these mosquitoes. That was disappointing. My recommendation to the host given the fact that they knew about this problem would’ve been to have been up-front and let us know about this in advance.

A fantastic property in a great location!
The property is spectacular, with plenty of room for everyone. The house itself is very well equipped and there were even some basic ingredients left in the kitchen - meaning we just had to cover the food basis a for the first couple of days. Luisa is a great host, with fabulous communication and was very helpful with our additional requests and questions. Our party included teenagers, who were particularly happy with the high speed internet and Smart TV’s in all the bedrooms! We would highly recommend this property for an ideal base to explore LA and the surrounding areas.

Nice family getaway
The house is beautiful and well stocked. I stayed for Mother's day and my family and I enjoyed the beautiful gardens with several types of trees and flowers. The swimming pool and hot tub were awesome but the stone steps around the pool become very slick so please exercise caution. Overall we enjoyed a lovely family vacation nestled away in our own private space.

Best LA rental ever
We stayed at this house with some friends for a long weekend. We were all seniors ( 60-90). The house was big and rambling. There were so many interesting things to see in the home. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. The outdoor area was huge and private. Great house and good central location.

Off to the Races
Beautiful property, we were in LA to attend the Breeders Cup Races.and stayed 3 nights and 4 days. The spanish villa is truly hidden away right there in Whitter! So much to love about the house, the outside grounds, the pool, the hot tub and the secluded area. Luisa helped answer all our questions, after 4 days we felt so comfortable, didn't want to leave. When we're back in Los Angelas we will definitely be back.

We’ve stayed at the property twice now. It’s a great spot to hang out and catch up with friends. The pool & hot tub are very relaxing & refreshing. The grounds are in excellent condition. We love that we can park our (3-4) cars in the driveway. We look forward to our next trip.

Classic charm and great outdoor space
My family and I stayed here for six nights over spring break. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the house very much. There's plenty of space indoors (my two boys each got their own bedroom) and out. The outdoor area is especially lovely, with a great hot tub, beautiful pool which we had heated for half our stay (extra cost but worth it to us), and well-maintained foliage, including palm and fruit trees. The owner, Luisa, was very responsive and helpful. All that said, this house might not be for everyone. The decor and furnishings are old-school, which could be regarded as either charming or "dated", depending on your perspective and personal taste. If you squint, the interior is a little rough around the edges due to its age -- which didn't bother us, but could bother some people. Also, if your vacation plan is to stay in and cook your own meals, you might want to find a place that has a more fully stocked kitchen -- this one is fine for basic food preparation, but nothing elaborate. Our only other quibble was that, as far as we could tell, you couldn't open any of the windows, which wasn't ideal for sleeping. We turned on the AC even though low temperatures outside were in the 50s. Anyway, the positives greatly outweigh the little negatives. We really like the Spanish Home in the Secret Garden.

Beautiful pool and jacuzzi in an old Spanish-style mansion
Very large and quirky older house which is kept very clean. I'm from New England and the place reminds me of those big old vacation homes you might rent for a week on Cape Cod or in Maine. There is a history here and if you like that in a vacation home, this is for you. We stayed during historic cold temperatures in the LA area, and the house was very comfortable. Also note that the house will be very difficult for anyone in a wheelchair or a walker as there are many small steps.

Good location and great owner
Lots of room, but no place to congregate/eat together if you have a lot of people at the house as we did. It would be helpful to have plastic dishes and cups for the pool and for kids. House is outdated, a bit musty smelling, but in good working order overall. My older daughters and their spouses reported that their beds weren’t very comfortable. Mine was great. It was in the bedroom with the two single beds. It’s about 30 minutes without traffic to Burbank airport, and same to Disneyland. Owner was great and very responsive.

Great overall spot!
We were in town for the Rose Float Parade so a little farther out than we thought we'd be, but the home and grounds are charming. There was an inaccuracy in the description -- claimed to have EV charging, and it most definitely did not. This caused some disruption to our stay that we hadn't planned for. Never could get the TV Spectrum service to work for local channels, but we did have Netflix, Hulu, etc. A larger couch, sectional or something would be nice in the living room. Was not functional for hanging out and playing games or watching TV - not enough seating, and we only had four people. Would go back, however, because it was funky and cute and the grounds are amazing. Yard is entirely fenced with a security gate at driveway.

Our stay was just perfect. The property is close to area attractions while being far enough away to relax while there. The property owner was very quick to reply to any questions asked. Upon arrival after a very long day of travel it was nice to have a welcome bottle of wine as well as a few items to start our trip off before getting a chance to get to the grocery store. Would highly recommend the property and owner to all asking. Will definitely reach out again if we come back to the west coast for vacationing.

Secret Garden and Peaceful House soothes All
We were looking for a quiet centrally located property as a refuge from a busy tourist schedule. We found solace and relief from the day and hectic traffic in the hot tub and beautiful grounds. We need a kitchen because of food allergies and Luisa brought us items to make cooking easier. The house is almost 100 years old with large rooms. Luisa eclectically decorated the house making an interesting and yet elegant statement. Early risers are able to stir around without disturbing the sleepers.

This property is amazing! Fresh fruit trees, beautiful grounds, and the pool was spectacular! All of the pictures of the house are accurate. As other reviewers have said it’s like a step back in time, the decor is funky and unique, we loved it. Family of 5 and tons of space. Tucked into a neighborhood so there’s not complete privacy, but the backyard is like a sanctuary.
