Summary: We had a great time! The small house had everything we needed. There was plenty of drawer space, room for all six of us, and the place was stocked with thoughtful essentials—from ibuprofen and coffee pods to Ziploc bags. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to find.Steve lives in the house in front and was quick to help when anything came up. We hope to return soon!The upstairs room has four beds—no bunk beds, which we really appreciated. The ceiling is a bit low, but even our 6-foot-tall kid made it work. The teens loved having their own charging stations, storage space, and TV upstairs, especially since it let them stay up late while the adults went to bed downstairs.Just a heads-up: parking is tight, which is pretty common in California. It would have been tough if we’d brought our usual XL SUV.I give this place a 10 out of 10. We all loved it here! Bonus: there are orange and persimmon trees right out front, and I loved picking fresh oranges every day.
