Secluded Mediterranean villa in the hills

We had an incredible stay at this Encino vacation home. Our group included four families with ages ranging from nine to seventy-one, and the home was perfectly suited for everyone. It was spacious enough for each family to have their own private space, while also offering large, comfortable gathering areas where we could all spend time together.The views from the property were absolutely stunning — overlooking the entire valley with beautiful nighttime star views. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor amenities. The kids loved the pool and pickleball court, while the adults enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi, watching sports outside, and unwinding in the sauna. Every evening ended with laughter and great conversation around the gas fire pit.The home itself was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the neighborhood was peaceful, and we never felt disturbed. The house was stocked with everything we needed — we never found ourselves wishing for anything that wasn’t already provided.Chris, the host, was outstanding. Communication was quick and easy, and he was always available if needed, though everything ran so smoothly that we rarely had to reach out.Overall, this was a fantastic home for a multi-family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended.

It was an overall great stay. The host was quick to respond to any questions and very personable.

House was well stocked. Great accommodations for us, our children, and teenage grandchildren. Back yard pool, landscaping, and beautiful view provided our own little paradise. Chris was very helpful in catering to our needs.Our family looks forward to staying again.

Our family of seven ranging in ages from 72 to 5 all loved this vacation house. The pool and the hot tub, back and forth all day. Comfortable beds, solid kitchen supplies, the inside of the house was wonderful but the outside spaces were really unbelievably fantastic. Chris is a great communicator, very responsive. Neighborhood was so quiet we never heard anyone else, very beautiful and super safe.

The villa is perfection. It was absolutely lovely, the ideal home base for our family vacation to LA. The location – in a quiet, upscale, residential neighborhood with very easy access to the Getty, Hollywood, downtown LA – was perfect. The house is a marvel: huge, spotlessly clean, and completely private, with every possible amenity. The sweeping, panoramic views of the area are just spectacular. The spacious backyard, especially, is amazing (no exaggeration): we and the kids spent days in the luxurious, heated pool, playing pickleball (on our private court), enjoying the hot tub, and just taking in the view (in a word, paradise). And Chris is a superhost, so responsive and lovely. Thank you so much for hosting us; we can't wait to return.

This is a beautiful home! We had a big group and it worked out great.

Couldn’t have ask for anything better house has everything and great for the kids. Would definitely stay again

The backyard is amazing and completely conducive for a great family gathering.

This home is the ultimate vacation home! There isn't a single thing that could have been better or was missing. The house is clean and spotless. Kitchen appliances and accessories are top notch and plentiful. The owners are great communicators. It was a very nice surprise to find a chilled bottle of champagne awaiting us on arrival; and the fresh fruit was also much appreciated. I could go on and on about all of the entertaining options in the house - TVs, piano, guitar, albums/turntable, fun center/den to name a few; but what truly makes this house a gem is it's backyard. The spectacular view alone makes it special. The large swimming pool and hot tub [with TV] are reason enough to book this place. Much like in the house, everything has been thought of outside as well - grill, smoker, fire pit, and even a tap next to the hot tub! There are multiple seating, eating, and lounging areas complete with chandelier! The outdoor lighting and landscaping is exceptional! It also has a pickleball/volleyball/badminton court. There is so much to do and enjoy at the house, but it's location is also quite awesome for seeing everything LA has to offer. Situated within a couple minutes of the 405, yet quite secluded on the hills at the end of a cul-de-sac, it is the ideal spot for whatever you want to do. Though there was only my wife, 18 year old son, and me staying here, there is more than enough room for another family or two to thoroughly enjoy this place. Simply awesome!

The house was the perfect size for our family of 7 (all adults). Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us, with enough space to provide privacy. The barkyard has a fantastic layout. Again with a lot of space to relax and unwind. The location is excellent. We were surprised because it looked a little remote on Google maps. But its just a 10 minute drive to Ventura Blvd, with so many places to eat/shop/explore. Couldnt be happier with our host. Excellent communication thoughout our stay. We would definitely vacation here again.

Our family of ten had a wonderful time at the villa ! We all love the backyard with fabulous view daytime and nighttime (with lighted tree and chandelier)! We enjoyed all the outdoor amenities: swimming in the pool, soaking in the hot tub while watching outdoor tv, play ping pong, pickleball or just relax in the hammock or lounge in the shade ! Chris, the host was so nice to work with ! He has fresh flowers to welcome us and communicate with us as needed ! When he knew we have a wheelchair delivered for us, he put up a ramp to make easy access to the backyard !! That’s great human kindness ! Hope we can enjoy it some time in the future !
