Lux Villa VR in California

“The house was comfortable for our large family and we had a great week there. The lower score is due to maintenance and safety issues I hope can get fixed for future renters. Many spindles in the banister were loose, two coming off with little effort. The steps up to the front door felt unstable. For maintenance, we could have used more hand towels and a new microwave (it locks, so you have to unplug it to get your food). It also appeared as though the trash had not been collected from the previous renters, so we had to store a couple bags in the garage. Communication with the owners was easy, but I often felt they would just copy/paste their answers from the instructions emailed before (ex. I requested a floorpan to help us choose rooms ahead, they copied the written description of the rooms). Aside from these issues, the views from the house are beautiful. We saw a bear and coyote, enjoyed watching chipmunks and birds in the morning, and beautiful sunsets from the balcony.”

“The place was very lovely in a gorgeous setting. The house is as pictured and described. Only issue was host did not respond upon asking about an early check-in other than that would recommend.”

“Firstly the location is awesome. The house was nice and clean and I would have loved to give it five stars. Unfortunately, I can't * Parking is really painful unless you have a very small car. The garage entrance and the length itself is extremely limited, but then there are cars parked in front. * Entrance was a pain - the lock to get into the compound needed a 10 digit code and you needed both hands to operate. The unit entrance required an 8 digit code. * Front burners wouldn't work on the stove. The right one didn't work at all and the left one would take many attempts.”

“Lux Villa was exactly how it was described; extremely desirable location, beautiful trail nearby, and a very cozy home. The house is very warm, but we knew this from reading previous post, so we opted to bring our own mini fan. Fans could definitely be a bit stronger, but they were in all rooms which was nice. The only concern we had was we were woken up at 5:00 am to the sound of breaking glass. We saw a picture which was about 2x3 ft was only hung up in with a dual sided tape. Glass was everywhere with no vacuum in the house and the picture was right in front of the room our toddler was in. A few other picture in the house we noticed only had this take. We are just so thankful it didn’t fall on our toddler because the shards were huge! A few hours later the cleaners came, but we still managed to step on a bit of glass since it fell in the carpet. It was a lot, especially with kids but other than that the house was well equipped, just hot! Also, a baby would be nice upstairs.”

“If traveling in the summer have in mind that the rooms DO NOT have AC, there is only a small AC unit in the living area. Very hot in the evening and much of the night. Otherwise it looked as in the pictures and the location is great.”
