*Heated Pool* 1951 charm meets the 2020s: welcome to Sherman Oaks, California. Updated and redecorated, this ultra-clean, private home sleeps 6 comfortably. Great for relaxing and sunning with pool, big patio table & chaise loungers. Super comfy beds with fluffy comforters & plenty of soft towels in the baths. Gourmet kitchen: WOLF range, specialty cooking tools, lots of pots and pans, and a coffee station too. Enjoy the peaceful environment while being close to all the fun stuff L.A. has to offer.

NOTE: Home is 2 main streets from trendy Ventura Blvd and very freeway on/offramp close - compare to other listings that are further north... being south is preferable in this neighborhood.

King bed in front master, Queen bed in pool-view back, and Queen Plus in convertible den (American Leather Sleeper Sofa with no bar in the middle) with privacy doors.

Great local neighborhood for walking. There are also beautiful hiking trails nearby in the Santa Monica Mountains. If you're traveling without a car and need to get somewhere fast, I'm usually available for a quick shuttle service!! If you do have a car, there's plenty of parking. Check Metro.net for public transportation.

Distance (approximate) from Andy's VRBO to the following:
Universal Studios - 4 miles (6km)
Hollywood Walk of Fame - 7 miles (11km)
Burbank Airport - 7 miles (11km)
West Hollywood - 7 miles (11km)
Beverly Hills - 8 miles (13km)
Downtown Los Angeles - 12 miles (20km)
Santa Monica Beach - 18 miles (29km)
LAX Intl Airport - 21 miles (34km)
Malibu Beach - 28 miles (45km)
Disneyland - 40 miles (64km)

*$15-$100/day to heat pool. 85 degrees (f) is avg temperature when heated but can be lower if you want. Rate varies depending on time of year: colder months higher, warmer months lower (and often not needed at all in summer months). NO profit on gas cost, just covers the expense!

As noted in other sections of this listing: I LIVE ON THE PROPERTY IN A SEPARATE/PRIVATE GUEST UNIT IN THE BACK THAT IS ACCESSED VIA THE DRIVEWAY (the driveway runs along the side of the dining room and kitchen windows). The entire house, pool and backyard are all yours; the back half of the driveway and my house are gated and fenced for privacy for both of us.

Perfect House For Our Needs
Andy's house had everything we needed and was exactly as described in the listing. Had plenty of space for myself, my husband and our two kids. Hope to stay there again in the future.

A great family vacation!
Sherman Oaks is a hidden gem and Andy's home was wonderful! We went to Southern California for a family vacation visiting Universal Studios and a college tour of UCLA. Universal was a quick $15 to $20 Uber ride away, much less $$ and stress than trying to park. UCLA is also about 20 minutes away. Andy's home was perfect for our family of 4. The teenagers had room to spread out on their own, my daughter did not want to leave! The pool was wonderful, we paid exactly what it cost to heat it. Grocery stores were close nearby and the kitchen had everything we needed to make some family meals. Andy was on sight in the guest house in the back, but he was very respectful of our privacy and did not intrude at all. Although we did speak with him a few times and he was a delight! Thank you Andy for sharing your beautiful house with us!

Better than a hotel
Andy did such a great job getting the house ready for our visit. The house was immaculate! It was clean and spotless when we arrived. The home was will stocked with all your needs all the way down to the Q-tips!! The beds we’re comfortable. The linens were clean. There’s a TV in every room even the bathroom!! I was really impressed. The pool was a plus. It was clean and well kept. The setting of the yard makes it very private. No nosy neighbors peeking through the fence. The lighting makes it possible to do a late night swim. The house is centrally located. Super close to Universal Studios, Hollywood and a 30 min drive to Santa Monica. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical that Andy lives on property but it was no issue at all. His little home is separated from the main house. Everything is separated and gated. He was no bother at all. There was great communication between Andy and myself. Instructions were well written we had no issues during our stay. This was our first VRBO and Andy has really set the bar high for my next rental. I would definitely recommend this home and if in LA again would stay here again.

Home Away From Home
This was our second stay at this gorgeous property. The host, Andy, has provided everything I could think of to feel at home. The house feels cozy and safe and is great for family dinners and pool days. We are already looking forward to coming back again.
