We had our BEST VRBO experience ever with our adult kids and their spouses. It was perfect as each couple had their own room with a separate entrance. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with everything you need.

We had a great stay at the house. It is beautiful, the pool area particularly is pretty and helped set the mood. The property management is nice, communicates well, and was quick to respond when there was a little hiccup with the house.

We loved our stay at the Sonny and Cher house. It is perfect for a group who want to spend time together and also have your own space to chill. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. The heated pool was great, the neighborhood is fabulous! There is a fun selection of games and puzzles, it's the perfect home to hang out with family and friends.

This place is incredible. So lovely and well maintained. I loved that the location was super convenient to town (by car), <1mi to a great hiking trail and felt very private.

We had an amazing experience at this house. It has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay. Jeremy gave us a great tour and was very responsive on text. The only one thing that was a little tricky was that the AC is locked and set to 75 which on a 118 degree weekend wasn’t cool enough to give us respite. We had a great time though and would come back for sure .

A wonderful get together with family from Savannah, Denver, the Central Valley and the Bay Area. Plenty of room for ten adults, clean with all the amenities. The property managers, Jeremy and David, were a treat to deal with!!

Went all out to splurge for a 40th and Villa Carmelita did not disappoint. So many details and beautiful decor, and the misters and climate control let us enjoy a particularly hot weekend. Will absolutely be back.
