If I could give this place and Karen 100 stars I would. Not only was she super responsive for any questions or help I needed, she went above and beyond by bringing in our groceries when our flight was late. And the pictures don't lie, the outdoor space is amazing. House was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. We hope to stay here again some day.

Perfect House for Daughter's Simi Valley Wedding

This house was perfect in every way. The location was perfect, the outside area is spectacular and the house itself was comfortable with plenty of room and amenities. We have stayed in multiple VRBO homes and we always look for a Premiere Host. All are very good but no one has ever been as responsive, helpful and engaging as Karen. Would highly recommend this home!

Family reunion

This house was perfect for our family reunion. Two families with six kids stayed here and two more families with three kids stayed at one family’s home nearby. The pool was obviously the big hit, but all enjoyed the many other toys and games and marshmallows at the fire pit. Karen, the owner, was accessible for any questions or issues. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Definitely recommend this house for family gatherings. Close to Malibu beaches, Reagan library, Underwood Farms, Santa Barbara, and many other sights to see the next get together here.

Daughter’s Wedding Trip

THE HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL! My family and I were in town for my daughter‘s wedding. We chose this beautiful home to house my family and her bridesmaids. We had a wonderful stay! And our host was so easy to work with, to chat with, and she was so available for us. We did not run into any problems at all. The location of the house was perfect. It was close enough to the venue as well as many restaurants, stores, and even grocery stores. I will most definitely stay here again if I come back into the area.

Thank you, warmly, to Karen for opening your home to my family this past week. Secluded Oasis supported the bridal party on the morning of my niece’s wedding, and was a lovely vacation for family members visiting from out of state. The cheerful decor and open floor plan was perfect for our family. We were in the pool and spa almost daily that was the perfect temperature and also very clean. The home and land were spacious, giving us ample room to relax and chat while preparing meals. Tall trees gave us reprieve from the eager sun as we sat and enjoyed our barbecue meal. We even saw deer in the backyard. Excellent location in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The house was a short drive from stores, and we even had the opportunity to shop at the local Farmer’s Market on Thursday. We loved spending time with family in this wonderful home. Thank you again for being such a gracious host Karen.

Fabulous family holiday in 1000 Oaks

My family and I have just finished an incredible trip around California. We ended with a four day stay in this wonderful villa in 1000 Oaks, our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. The house is immaculate and very luxurious. Karen is a fantastic host, she was always quick to reply to any questions we had and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The garden was a big hit with the whole family, the pool is huge and the kids loved all the pool toys that Karen very kindly provided. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in the evening looking out over the beautiful California hills that surround the garden. The house itself is very spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and with lots of little touches that made it feel like a home from home. The house is perfectly placed to explore LA and is a relaxing haven to return to after a busy day sightseeing. I really can’t fault this property and would recommend it in a heartbeat. If we return to California we will definitely stay here again.

Most AMAZING Wedding Week Stay

From the minute I booked Karen's beautiful home it's been the best VRBO experience our family has ever had. Karen is a true hostess. From making sure we had everything we needed in the home for our 2 year old grandson to recommending a florist for our rehearsal dinner to recommending restaurants and hikes in the area, she was a pro. We couldn't have asked for a better concierge. Her home though was perfect. Everything was spotless and in perfect order. From the binder she provides with all of the instructions for outdoor lighting, spa and pool, to the amenities this home offers, it was the perfect family home with so much to offer. I can only attest to the master bed but it was SOOO comfortable. I heard all of the beds were. The pool, spa, fire pit, outdoor seating, outdoor bar, ping pong, corn hole and every board game imaginable this property is perfection for a family reunion. Ours was for our sons wedding week and AMAZING. I almost hate giving it such rave reviews as it will probably be booked solid and we'll never get a chance to use it again. You can't go wrong with this home. Your family and guests will LOVE IT! Thank you Karen.
