We rented this property for our extended family to attend a destination wedding. Our group of 25 enjoyed the stay and had everything we needed. The laundry “garden” room was a great place to prep for fun in the beautiful backyard. Corn hole game, food ball game, video and bocci ball set welcome! Everyone was pleased with their room. Being an “older” home, one room’s “breaker” needed to be reset but all else was perfect. John was a very responsive and communicative host. If we have the need to stay in the area again, we will definitely look at this property again!! ##### Colette Q. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeff W. Sep 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Family get together We enjoyed the stay. Some issues caused problems for us. The oven did not work properly and our host tried to get that fixed. The repair man tried to fix the issue but still did not fix properly. The kitchen is small and some problems with items like measuring cups and coffee grinder. Some bothersome sqeeky noise with our bed. A corn hull game was available but problems with bent parts and bean bags was not good, it should have been in the trash can. The sofas in the living area were of poor quality. For the money we paid for this property, I was disappointed in the property. ##### Jeff W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanay M. May 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary Weekend Getaway We did a weekend stay with some of our closest friends - we were a group of 30 people in total, including 2 infants. The property looked stunning in the photos when we booked it, and let me tell you that it did not disappoint in person! Despite having a fairly large group it never felt stuffy or claustrophobic because of how roomy it is. The villa is immaculately maintained and curated with all the necessary amenities available to make the stay comfortable. We were able to host a brunch and games afternoon out on the beautiful manicured lawn, and a small ceremony by the gazebo, followed by dinner and drinks in the dining area. Last but not least, John is the best host that we could’ve asked for. He is extremely helpful and accommodating. He was responsive and helped us with any questions that we had and also provided excellent recommendations on local attractions, places to rent from etc. He went above and beyond to even ship and return an item on our request, that we accidentally left behind at the property. Our friends couldn’t stop raving about the experience. Highly recommend John and his gorgeous property, and we will be sure to book it again in the future! ##### Tanay M.

Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large Parties Comfortable Stay We really enjoyed our trip with 6 families, totaling 22 people. Plenty of space and beds, and the common areas were delightful. The kids (10 kids, ranging 3-9 yo) really enjoyed the fooseball machine, smart TV, arcade, & the gardens to throw frisbees (we got from local ice cream shop). Abundant & easily available parking for multiple cars, and it was very close and convenient to Trader Joe's, Vons, restaurants, and highways. Decor was lovely, and we all had plenty of space to eat, mingle, and play. The only thing we would have preferred would be a stronger dishwasher (had to pre-rinse & scrub everything), slightly hotter stove, and more utensils. We had to wash forks and spoons by hand in order to have enough for each meal, since we had so many people. It was amazing that they had 3 refrigerators! It was easy to message through the VRBO app a few times (must message rather than text) for some items when they needed quick replacement or replenishment, and the property manager was very responsive. The property manager was among the nicest and most accommodating that we have met, and he helped us through some of our technical challenges (locating the power breaker, figuring out how to lock the front door). Really, he was a pleasure to communicate with, going above and beyond. We would definitely want to come back for another stay, and we appreciate having so many rooms and beds, so that we can be together for our annual friends reunion.

The place was clean and well maintained. The garden was great for hanging out, playing lawn games, and running around with kids. The house was well stocked with activities and games for kids such as lawn games, fuzzball, and NBA Jam arcade game. Most rooms had multiple beds which was great for families with kids. Overall, we had a great time. ##### Alec B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan G.

We sometimes have a difficult time finding just the right place to hold our reunion. The Retro English Mansion fit the bill. We were close to the beach with plenty of things to make our reunion a memorable one and had rooms, beds and bathrooms for all! The management was very helpful and quick to answer questions. We would love to return again and again! Susan G. ##### Susan G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gagan H.

Its a great property - very clean and comfortable. Beds and mattresses were high quality which was important for some of our folks with bad back issues. The host was very courteous, flexible and responsive. There were a lot of games both indoors and outdoors - so the kids never got bored. The kitchen is a bit smaller but fully functional. We would love to come here again! ##### Gagan H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa B.

It was the first time we’ve all been together in a few years, and it was so much fun! We were really happy here. We’ll be back, I’m sure! ##### Melissa B.
