Highly recommend this place. Super cute, clean & peaceful, host is so nice & communication is extremely fast. There is everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Very private, beautiful yard with amazing Koi ponds and neat outdoor kitchen that is well stocked. Easy self check in with private entrance. It's truly home away from home.

The host was very communicative and accommodating for our stay. The kitchen was stocked with complimentary items that were much needed! The koi fish look very happy and well cared for, and their outdoor space is inviting and well maintained. The main bed in the bedroom is very comfortable. Thank you!

We stayed here for a weekend disneyland trip. It was an easy 10 minute drive to the Disney parking garage. The room was lovely- decorated, clean, and cozy. The outdoor kitchen was full of snacks, which was an awesome surprise. We enjoyed smores by the fire pit. Feeding the koi was a fun quirky addition to the day! Loved it!

Great home base for a Disney trip! This quirky but enjoyable setup was great fun to stay at for our family with two teen daughters. The outdoor kitchen was fully stocked with dishware and essentials and a breeze to use, check in instructions were detailed and accurate, neighborhood was safe and convenient to everything we were doing, and parking was easy. Our host Courtney was great to work with and super responsive. One logistical note: guests should be aware that for folks staying the Casita, the only access to the bathroom is through the master bedroom. Was no problem for us as a family but might not work for every group.

There is a very relaxing atmosphere, but there is also room for activities such as corn hole and picnic table dining. We were visiting family in Brea, so the location was great. Jose and Courtney have thought of just about everything to make this a homey alternative to some of the more sterile/modern options. We'd recommend their place to families with children - it felt safe, and there is plenty to do!
