Top California Vacation Rental Reviews

April 2019. Beautiful, spacious, newer home in a quiet gated community. Two swimming pools, basketball court, and tennis court within two blocks of house for use. Great affordable golf course in community. The owners made the whole experience excellent. No issues with booking, access, billing, etc.. Highly recommend.

The premises were absolutely beautiful! I felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. Everything was new as advertised and very clean. The view was spectacular and could never get tired of the mountain view! Very friendly community! You couldn’t ask for better owners. They communicated with us to ensure everything was going well and responded quickly when we had any questions.
Very accommodating! Highly recommended!

We stayed at this property in Cathedral City for eight nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has everything that you could possibly want including a well stocked fridge! If you are looking for a really nice, affordable place to stay, take a close look at this property!

It was an oceanfront condo with easy access to the beach and all the area. Very good for biking and walking. A reserved place for the car was helpful.

Felt very comfortable and safe. Great home for families- lots of space. Could see the fireworks of disney from the back yard!!! Very private also. Pool was great- nice and warm. Place was spotless, very clean. Again, felt very comfortable there. Much, much better than staying at a Disney Hotel for our large family. Will return here is we come back to Disney.

We (six british guys) were on a baseball trip to L.A. in September 2013 and chose this property because of it's proximity to Angel stadium. We cannot express how pleased we were with our choice. This house was perfect for us as a group and it would be a great location for a family vacation too. The property is, clearly, a home and has everything you could need for your stay. For us the most important features were extremely comfortable beds, wifi (new I believe), satellite TV, large fridge, enough showers for a group, washing and cooking facilities, gated community (safe) and plenty of room so we could have our own space. There are plenty of places to eat/drink in the area and for $12 all six could get to Anaheim Amtrak station for travel into L.A. (also close to Angel stadium and an open mall called outlets at Orange).
We also used the Metro from Newark, which has a park and ride facility and is very safe although busy on weekdays with commuters. At weekends $5 gets an all day pass.
San Diego is a couple of hours drive and is a beautiful city (and home of the Padres so another ballpark ticked off the list).
Of course there's Disney too. Very close and probably a similar taxi fare to Anaheim station, although we didn't go ourselves on this trip.
When I return to LA I will be checking the availability of this home from home.

We have only superlatives concerning the rental of this property. Everything was well above our expectations. Unit has been totally redone to a very high standard. Appliances were new and more than adequate. Especially liked the off street parking with the garage below the house. The extras provided were very thoughtful. Believe the owners need to stress more that a wide variety of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. are within a 5 minute drive. Will recommend this unit to anyone we know that is going to the LA area with a large family. Cost was in line with value received.. Thank you.

The condo we rented was in a good location and close to everything we required. Within walking distances to restaurants. The pool was located right next to our condo. We would probably rent a condo next time that has 2 full bathrooms, as this unit only had 1 1/2 baths. For the price, I think that it was a good value. Could use some updating, as the carpets are in poor shape, the barbecue does not function that well, and just general repairs. Also had some minor issues with toilets not functioning properly. Were repaired before we left. Golf course on the resort was good.

Stayed 5 days at this condo on Mission Beach in mid March 2016. The owners were very nice to deal with and very accommodating. Awesome location, right on the beach and boardwalk, and walking distance to Belmont Park, restaurants and bars. Best part is the huge ground floor patio overlooking the beach which includes a BBQ. Plenty of room to lounge around or play cards on the patio table. We thought it might be too noisy being on the boardwalk, but it wasn't at all. We enjoyed the people-watching. Can't go wrong with this location. Cheers.

Our accommodations in La Quinta, were perfect for our one week golf vacation. The 3 bedroom home was exactly what we needed. The secluded backyard and pool area was ideal for cocktail hour after golf. The home was well equipped and all the arrangements went just as planned. This cozy bungalo met all of our expectations at a very reasonable price.

My wife and I rented this unit for the month of March 2019. When we arrived we discovered the phones did not work and there was a bad odor in the clothes washer that leached into our clothes. We were told the smell was from mold and mildew. We ran several rinses with bleach to try to eliminate the problem. We informed the owners of these issues.Other than these issues everything was ok.
When we arrived home we discovered that we had a key of theirs and mailed it back to them immediately to their home.
Later, without the courtesy of a phone call, we received an email listing damages and missing items.
With one exception (the white chair) we had no knowledge of these issues. We noticed ink marks on a white leather chair which we did not make. So we did not inform the owners of these markings because we figured they knew of this since the matched ottoman was quite damaged with scratches and scrapes. The owner said he has to buy a new chair even though there are cleaning products that will remove ink stains. We were also advised that there was damage to a dinette chair, a cross bar was out of its hole in the leg. We were not aware of any such damage since there are six chairs and we only used two. We were also told a lounge for their balcony was missing. We never saw one. There were renters staying there before us.
As a consequence of all this they decided we were guilty and they were keeping our $500 deposit.
If you rent from these people BE SURE to have a complete inspection and detailed inventory of EVERYTHING in the condo.
In the ten years we have been renting for winter vacations we have NEVER had a problem. As a matter of fact the owners have thanked us for leaving the condo cleaner then when we arrived.
