great place for a reunion of friends
Our group of seven friends had our reunion at the Emerald Bungalow for a second time because this place is perfect for our group. We especially appreciated Addy's quick and helpful responses to our questions along the way (heating the pool in advance of our stay, checking in a little early, replacing the firepit propane tank). We'll certainly come back for another reunion.

Beautiful views, comfort and room for everyone in the pool
The home and property was perfect for our extended family to stay together in one place. The main part of the home is all in one level, after a flight of outside stairs from the parking area. The office, in the downstairs of the home, is reached by a flight of interior stairs. The guest house is located downstairs from the home, level with the parking area and has access to an outside bathroom a short distance by climbing upstairs towards the main house. Beds were comfortable and we would return again. The pool was a highlight!!

This is such a grand property! I think of it as a mini Hearst Castle. My aunts loved the trails on the property so they can get their exercise in, while enjoying the garden. It seems like there’s so much to explore inside the home and outside the home. I enjoy relaxing by the pool and listening to the sound of birds chirping. The guest house was perfect for family who wanted more privacy. We all wish we had more time to enjoy the property. The host even gave us some local wine to enjoy!

A Dream Wedding Week Retreat - Almost Perfect!
I had the joy of hosting my bridal party at this mesmerizing VRBO property for our wedding week. The experience was exceptional, though I'd like to share a couple of minor points. The property's allure is undeniable, with breathtaking views and an enchanting atmosphere that made our celebrations magical. However, the guesthouse had some dustiness upon arrival, and lacking a bathroom was slightly inconvenient. A quick pre-guest cleaning and considering bathroom facilities would enhance the stay. Considering our party of ten, a few more bath towels would have elevated comfort. Each guest having two towels would be wonderful. Lastly, the sliding doors in the main house were a bit tricky, causing some amusing struggles. This could be improved for future guests. Despite these tiny hiccups, our stay was captivating. I'd rate the property a 9/10 for its beauty and ambiance. With minor adjustments, it could easily be perfect. I'd gladly return and recommend it to anyone seeking an enchanting escape.

It was perfect. Beds were very comfy and lots of room for everyone. The pool and bbq area were exactly what we were hoping for. The proprty feels secluded and allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Was also close to grocery stores and restaurants. The gift basket was a wonderful touch with a nice bottle of wine. We will be back!

Loved This Oasis!
Such a wonderful stay at this property. The host was very helpful and responsive. The home and grounds were beautiful. If you're going during cooler temps, just note there is a $125 pool heating fee. Also, we thought the twin-bed room had two beds, but it's only one (unless we missed a trundle). Regardless, it was a wonderful stay and would HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful...absolutely beautiful landscaping all around this property and a pretty great view, too. The hosts were super responsive and we enjoyed our stay. The only downside were the daily parades of heavy military helicopters overhead that disrupted our peace. Otherwise, we highly recommend this home for its great pool and deck area, seclusion, and spaciousness.

Heavenly property!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Addy's hilltop haven!. In short, the property is retro stunning. The house itself is roomy and comfortable. The master bath is off one wing, with two bedrooms, a bath, and office off the other. One bedroom is a secluded guestroom with a pond and fountain on the patio. The kitchen has everything you need. The view is gorgeous from every view point! I wish we could have stayed longer! A word of caution: While the property is pet friendly, keep your pets leashed outdoors as there are a few spots where they can get out.

Not just a place to stay, but a real vacation. Large, spacious house. Lovely natural light. All bedrooms open up to outside. Good sized kitchen, out door bbq that has a fridge. The pool Is A-1. Never needed the heat, perfect. Deep, big. Then loads of outdoor space to wander, stare at the hills. Games to play. Only a mile to stores. Host responded asap to any question.
