We rented this home for a week away with our two grandsons, 8 and 12. The location to all of LA's sites was perfect. The home is comfortable, well designed, and full of character. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, do a little work, and relax. This home is spacious, the beds are excellent, and there are so many spaces outdoors to relax, swim, or nap. Communication and service was the highest level. Everything is beautifully and lovingly maintained. Highly recommend this home!- Lori B. from Napa, Posted: 06/26/2023
Villa Encanto was an incredible house, property, and experience for us. It was such a warm environment to stay in the early summer weeks. Everything worked well for us, with speedy responses from Management. I would highly recommend staying at this property.- Jack F. from Los Angeles, Posted: 06/27/2023
This place is magnificent. Gorgeous property, beautiful home, every appliance and amenity - perfect from start to finish. We were dropping our daughter off at college and wanted a home base to relax and have friends over for dinners,etc. The courtyard is beautiful! A real oasis and convenient location. This was perfect. Highly recommend!- ERIN M. from NA, Posted: 09/04/2023
We stayed at villa encanto for two weeks and I can only say that it was exactly as we imagined. We felt at home at every moment. Its full of lovely details, its amazing to be nearby LA and at the same time relaxed, full of silence and peaceful environment. The Kitchen is a cooks dream!- Jose Antonio C. from Mexico City, Posted: 08/08/2023
Surpassed Expectations
We have rented from Vacation Living before, so we knew that the home would be in great condition, but this house far surpassed what we had hoped for! While it is a historic property, everything felt new. The evenings spent outside by the fireplace listening to the waterfall were the icing on the cake of one of our best holidays to date. We stayed here with another couple and there was ample room for us all to spread out and enjoy. Having our own bathrooms was a plus too. We did not end up swimming, but did use the hot tub and that was another nice treat. I think we found our new favorite spot! As always, Kate was super communicative and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend.- Clifton R from Astoria, Posted: 05/11/2023
