After a day exploring nearby Universal Studios, unwind in total privacy with a hammock and spacious patio surrounded by towering ficus trees.



The Space:

The property held our family great. Enough room for 7
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2025
This property is very nice and seems to be in a nice neighborhood. The only challenge was checkin. The host required multiple proofs of ID before sending a checkin code after we were already at the property and after already going through additional steps of completing a host-requested additional form to validate the VRBO ID process, which we had done days in advance. We waited for over an hour outside the property for a reply to our code requests and then, once we received a reply, we still had to text a picture ID and other info before we were allowed entry. So beware of a difficult host.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2024
There were some cleaning issues and the dishwasher was broken and no kitchen towels or drying rack was left for doing dishes. There were only 4 spoons for seven people. Otherwise, the place was great. Nice place in a safe feeling neighborhood. Good space with a responsive host.
