About this property
Private Garden Home with Large Saltwater Pool, Serene Office, Fireplace etc.
Nestled on a quiet tree lined cul de sac in beautiful Valley Village, this charming home is set in a garden on a quarter acre lot with a circular drive and covered parking. It features a salt water pool large enough for laps, a wood burning fireplace, and a large office perfect for an executive in town to work and relax. It’s only minutes from Studio City, Disney, Warner Brothers, CBS, Universal Studios and the Burbank airport. This quiet neighborhood is also near the Metro station, NOHO Arts District, the Television Academy and trendy eateries and shopping on Ventura Blvd. A short drive takes you to downtown LA, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, West LA, Santa Monica and LAX.
The open and airy design includes a large office, family room, two generous sized bedrooms, master bath and central hall bath with original tile. In the office an expansive desk looks out on the front garden, and is complete with wireless printer/scanner, a large comfortable couch and a CD/stereo. The family room has the fireplace, smart TV with DVD player, an oversized comfy sleeper couch for additional guests, and dining area with four high seats for a view of the garden. Glass doors open onto the outdoor sitting area and secluded pool. Both bedrooms have large closets and queen size beds complete with high quality linens, pillows and comforters. The master bedroom has a mirrored dressing room, glass doors opening onto a patio and path to the pool, and marble vanity in the master bath. Both bathrooms have generous tubs and a shower. The fully equipped kitchen has granite counters, a farmers sink and door leading to the outdoor gas barbecue. Hardwood and bamboo floors run throughout the entire home.
Our aim is to provide a completely comfortable living environment. Everything you may need is waiting for you, just bring your suitcase!
The outdoor living space is paved with blended slate stone pavers and features a generously sized pool surrounded by blooming vines, bamboo and trees creating a private space for lounging in the sun or dining under the umbrella at the table next to the pool. Although the pool is behind a locked gate and tall fence that surrounds the garden area, there is no perimeter fence between the pool and the house. Thus it is not safe for unattended children.
The garden changes with the seasons and often features blooming flowers and trees. Hummingbirds and butterflies are frequent guests. Just last year a mourning dove couple raised three chicks in the Staghorn Fern that hangs outside the master bedroom.
Cable TV with Netflix and HBO, Wireless internet, wireless printer/scanner, washer & dryer, microwave, ice-maker, central air conditioning and heat, iron & ironing board,. Cleaning is required bi-weekly (additional charge) but available more frequently on request.
We provide environmentally sustainable cleaning products for laundry and dishwasher as well as "no trees were harmed" facial tissues and TP.
The owner has an office on site in a separate building and is available for assistance and recommendations.
This is a treasured home and garden with beautiful furnishings and accessories. We hope it will provide our guests a retreat from the noise and stress of travel and a new city. Take a moment to sit in the garden. Sip a glass of wine while you watch the hummingbirds and butterflies flit through the flowers. We want you to feel at home and comfortable for every moment of your visit. No filming or parties allowed unless by separate written agreement.

Loved every minute of our stay, was a lovely property to come back to after a long day at the theme parks and sightseeing, was a home away from home. The host was very hospitable and welcoming, explained everything we needed to know and was contactable straight away if any problems arose.
We loved staying at Ree's super sweet and clean home. There was lots of light and nature with beautiful windows and landscaping. Communication was excellent and we look forward to returning.
This is a cozy house in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. It had everything we needed for a restful, restorative stay . The gardens and pool are lovely . We enjoyed meeting the owner who was always helpful and pleasant. Certainly would love to return!
We’ve just returned home from a fabulous two week stay at this property. It is very clean and comfortable. It is also very well supplied with plenty of towels, bathroom and facial tissue and other necessities that many properties skimp on. Although we didn’t cook, the kitchen is well equipped for anyone who would like to do so. The location is great, on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood, yet easily accessible to many restaurants, sites and amenities. To top it all off, Ree is an amazing host who is very responsive to any questions and does all that she can to make you feel welcome and make your stay a memorable one.
This was our second time staying in this home, and if and when we return to Los Angeles, we would be happy to stay here again. The house is spacious, the den is cozy, the backyard in spacious and beautiful - with a garden that attracts butterflies and birds. The neighborhood is mostly quiet (especially at night) and their is on site and on street parking. There is no dining room, but there is a small table in the den and the backyard is great for this during most of the year. The bedrooms are super comfortable and the pool is just a great addition (yes, we used it!).
The property was very nice and the online listing was accurate. Very nice quiet area. Owner was very nice & quick to respond to communication. No problems at all.
We had a fantastic two-week stay in Valley Village at Ree's property. The house is in immaculate condition and the pool was a luxurious feature after so many hot work days. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, walkable to North Hollywood and Studio City. Our pup had a wonderful stay as well. Ree was beyond officiant and responded within minutes with any questions. One of the best hosts we've encountered. Would love to stay again!
We had a lovely, comfortable stay. The pool and the outside gardens were delightful. The house (beds, bathrooms, shower, back yard, parking, living room) is comfortable. It was a bit difficult for us to keep the kitchen clean (we cook a lot) and there is no dining room per se, but otherwise the kitchen was functional and we could eat in the lovely back yard. The location in the east San Fernando Valley is excellent, with easy access to downtown, Hollywood, the Santa Monica mountains, and the Valley. Checking in and out were easy, and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Thank you!
This was a dream place to stay for our two weeks in LA. A few days in, the kids declared that they would not be going home and we would have to move into Ree's house forever. The location was perfect: a quite leafy street in a convenient neighbourhood, easy to get around in our rental car. The kitchen has most of what you would need to cook at home if you decide not to make the most of the multitude of wonderful restaurant options in LA. We mostly sat around drinking frosé in the backyard while the kids played in the pool, getting distracted by adorable hummingbirds.
We choose this property because it was near my kids and it surpassed our expectations. It’s immaculate, totally stocked, so comfortable yet charming. Ree was the perfect host. She’s available for any concerns yet totally respects your privacy. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable with clean linens, a beautiful salt water pool, gorgeous landscaping, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, wonderful showers and a washer and dryer (nicer than my own lol) right in the unit. We will definitely try to come back next year and this will always be our first choice of where to stay when we visit our son and his family. Thank you Ree for a wonderful and unforgettable stay!
Loved every moment spent at this California home. It’s bigger than it looks in the photos, the garden is lovely, the pool is brilliant, large and wonderfully filtered. Most importantly the area is lovely, safe and in a quiet cul-de-sac. Ree is the ultimate host and readily available to help or advise with anything. It suited our family of four, which includes two teenagers ideally and is located within 10-20 mins of Universal, Warner Bros, Beverley Hills, Rodeo Drive etc. 30 mins is Six Flags and 45 the beach at Santa Monica. Disney and Knotts Berry are 45-60 mins away. Plenty of places nearby to shop, eat and take in all that sunshine and California vibe. We absolutely loved it and will return as soon as we can.
No funny surprises here, just as described.
Everything was excellent.
Pool and yard were beautiful a real sun trap, we enjoyed lots of time relaxing in the pool! We used the barbecue on several occasion’s.
Ree’s home has a warm welcoming feeling, lovely linens, and everything you need for your stay.
The house is situated on quiet culdesac, and with 10 minute drive from Ventura Blv where you’ll find a huge selection of excellent restaurants! But many great take outs 5 minutes away on Laura Canyon.
Universal is 10 minute drive away, for a fun day out.
Other great LA stops are between 20/30 minutes away.
We have holidayed in LA for past 8 years, in many houses, I would certainly highly recommend Ree’s house, and we will be back.
We absolutely loved Ree and her house. Ree was very nice and showed us the ropes of the place when we got in. She was so gracious to allow our golden retriever to join us and swim in her wonderful pool. She wqs always available to answer questions immediately and address any issues, which we did not have. Our house was very comfortable to live in for 3 weeks and work from home. We loved her pool and swam laps every day. The house was in a very central location that allowed us to go into the office in santa monica and explore all hollywood had to offer as well as malibu and even orange county. We loved having grocery stores walking distance. It was absolutely the best trip we could have hoped for and will definitely return when in LA again.
Quiet neighborhood, comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful gardens and pool area, grateful we could bring our little dog as well.
Host was very responsive.
The property manager Ree is amazing and her communication is great. The house & property is clean and will definitely stay here again when we are in the area ...we travel alot and I rarely give 5 stars to rentals but this one deserved above 5 stars.
This property is so lovely! The backyard was an oasis for us! We sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful flower garden and the pool. The neighborhood is wonderful, very walkable and it's so easy to get to Universal, the zoo, Burbank, Studio City, etc.The property manager was great to work with and very responsive. The house is very well stocked and roomy!
Centrally located in the Sherman Oaks/Studio city area. Quit area with friendly neighbors. Lovely gardens and a full size pool attached to a great outdoor patio.
Ree is a perfect host and her house is beautiful! The garden is gorgeous and the house is so cute. Top notch cleanliness and all the basics you could need. We truly enjoyed our time there! It’s a great neighborhood, quiet yet close to everything. We would love to come back!
Definitely 5 star accommodations. The home is very spacious, comfortable and clean. We loved the outdoor space in the back yard which is very private and perfect for relaxing. Ree was very accessible and responsive to our needs. The location is great as well. It’s convenient to shopping and is located in a pretty neighborhood great for taking long walks. Would definitely stay again.
