We enjoyed our stay very, very much! We miss it already: hummingbirds, parrots squawking above, Gigantica bird of paradise, views of foliage and San Gabriel mountains, spa, perfect pool and patio set up. The kids spent hours and hours swimming in the pool fit for mermaids. The stars come out at night, the patio aglow with tiki torches. Magical! The hosts and their dogs are a real joy to visit with. Thank you for the peaceful get-away! We highly recommend visiting The Huntington, Octavia’s Bookshelf, Millie’s for breakfast…and Grocery Outlet for groceries. Disneyland was also a snap to get to! My 11 year old would like anyone who stays to rescue honey bees caught in the pool. That was her constant project.

Great Place

Great stay. We spent the week in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl parade and football game. Having this pool house to come back to each day made the trip that much better. The host was extremely responsive and friendly. My kids loved the hot tub and my wife loved the fireplace in the house. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back.

Super relaxing stay

We spent a few very busy days in LA county sightseeing and college touring so it was perfect to return to this property in the afternoon to relax and recharge. It’s very close to 210 freeway yet it’s so quiet!

Great Escape

Spent a few days visiting my daughter in LA. This was a perfect little get away for her and we had a great time. We are both fans of Hawaii and enjoyed the unique vibe and beautiful setting. Communication with the Host was excellent and she helped make the visit special. It was a treat to use the spa and fireplace. The kitchen had everything needed for us so we could stay in and spend quality time together. The bed was also very comfortable.

My family LOVED our stay! We were in town visiting my son at college and The Polynesian Paradise was the perfect oasis for my family to reconnect. The VRBO is SO beautiful and the location is perfect. It's everything one can need and more.

Great Stay

Visiting from the Midwest and found this gem! The place was amazing! Parking was easy, the air conditioning worked well. The best part was the out door amenities. The pool, hot tub, tables, and best of all ambiance were just perfect. I will be coming back again for my next trip. The place was so perfect that we did not want to leave, just spend time in yard. This was my first time out there, thank you again so much for the great memories!

Terrific visit - Polynesian Paradise

This awesome property really made for a great Pasadena visit. The unit is equipped smartly and completely. Comfortable beds and living room seating. Loved being able to gate ourselves off and enjoy the wonderful pool and pool deck. Located in a great neighborhood and the host (Jama) is very nice. Evenings on the pool deck looking at the mountains was really enjoyable.

Paradise Surprise ~ Tiki style!

First time staying at a VRBO with host onsite. But you would never know it. Lofted cabana poolside is as quiet and private as you can get. Comfortable, clean with all necessary amenities. Plus, the decor is an ode to the obvious love of all things Hawaiin. The theme extends poolside with the tikis and flickering lights AND the surrounding plants. Super quiet neighbor yet close to everything. If we get back to Pasadena, we'll be coming back here. Perfect long weekend!! Thanks Jama.

This place is a unique gem!

Stayed at the Polynesian Paradise with my family on a trip to the LA area. It’s a great location to be able to explore Pasadena and LA, but then have a quiet place to escape to and relax after a busy day. Plenty of room for the 4 of us and our boys really loved having their own space up in the loft. We would definitely stay here again!

A slice of paradise in Pasadena

We enjoyed our stay at Polynesian Paradise in Pasadena. We had a nice secluded area with a pool, hot tub, tiki torches and several gas fireplaces to enjoy. It was in a beautiful historical neighborhood of Pasadena. Plenty of good pathways for walking and interesting architectural to view as you walk. We were here visiting our son who lives at Atwater Village and it was close enough that we could see him, The property provided a good getaway after hectic days of running. The host is very friendly and attended to all of our needs. The studio was stocked with everything that you could want. TV was easy to use air conditioner worked well. We would highly recommend this place to any one who wanted to be in the Pasadena area.

Beautiful Pasadena cottage

Absolutely loved our stay. We came down south to celebrate a late Christmas with our adult children. This was the perfect setting to do just that. The backyard set up is hvery relaxing and felt very private. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Wonderful rental, with great pool and spa

We loved our stay at Jama and Joanne’s rental. The pool and spa were fantastic, and we all really enjoyed them. The seating areas around the pool were also lovely. The accommodation was great for us (2 adults and 2 teens) and we found it very comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The Hawaiian themed decor is great and adds a special feeling to the rental. We found the location great for spending quiet time by the pool and for heading out to see the sights. Thanks so much for a lovely stay!
