Loaded with amenities and sprawling across an enormous 11,000 sq. ft lot at the very end of a long elbow shaped cul-de-sac, this home away from home will let you and your loved ones know immediately upon arrival that they've made the right decision on where to stay during your Southern California vacation.

As you walk in on the second floor of this beautiful 1966 tri-level home you'll notice the hardwood floor drawing you into a warm, open floor plan. Having just acquired the property in April, we renovated it throughout and set it up with maximum comfort and enjoyment in mind. The living room with bay window and 32" high-definition (HD) flat panel LCD television is comfortable for an evening of shows, movies and conversation. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining area, which is also connected to the kitchen. A newly remodeled powder room is also located on the main level.

The master bedroom suite features a king size bed, large walk-in closet and newly remodeled bathroom with double vanity and unique tile Roman tub and shower. The master also features a 32" HD flat panel LCD television and a sliding glass door that steps out onto the covered patio. Note that the master bedroom is situated on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms.

Upstairs you'll find three more bedrooms, two with queen beds and a third with two sets of twin bunk beds. Each room has a ceiling fan and double closet. The newly remodeled upstairs bathroom features a double vanity, shower and tub.

Downstairs is where the fun begins. The billiard room features a 7-foot pool table, several game room chairs and a pub table. The windows look out into the play area of the backyard making it convenient to monitor the kids playing outside. Looking across from the billiard room into the media room you'll see a beautiful 47" HD flat panel LCD television with 5.1 surround sound, HD DVD player, digital video recorder (DVR) and cozy seating. If you are really looking for a good time, be sure to inquire about the Playstation* gaming console featuring the smash hit game, Rock Band! This is the full 4-player version including the microphone, drum set and two wireless guitars. Playing on the big screen with the surround sound is like putting on your own concert! The fun doesn’t stop there. Head into the two-car garage and you’ll find ping-pong (table tennis), electronic soft-tip darts, and a hand-made custom Anaheim Angels shuffleboard table. Of course, no gaming area would be complete without the “game” on TV so we’ve also hung a 19” flat panel LCD television with DVR and Dish Network’s Top 250 Channels right there in the garage, because we knew you’d want it there.

After a long day of taking in all SoCal has to offer, what would feel better than a plunge into your own sparkling private pool? Dive in and go deep (9 ½ feet in the deep end) to wash your worries away. If you’re looking for something a little more therapeutic, step into the 7-person hot tub with more than 40 high-powered water jets. Each of the seven seats features a different water jet “therapy” configuration so you are sure to step out feeling better than when you stepped in. Situated among the beautiful roses in the garden, the hot tub offers some seclusion while still being able to keep an eye on everything.

At dinner time, you will find all the necessary implements for a home cooked meal including all appliances, utensils, dishes, etc. The brand new oversized Whirlpool dishwasher means less loads and more time to play. But if you really want to have some fun, fire up the 100,000 BTU stainless steel BBQ grill that is the centerpiece of the outdoor kitchen and eating area. Six burners, searing panel and a separate side burner mean you can cook everyone’s food at once. Stock the outdoor refrigerator and you’ll have everything you need for a meal al fresco. Watch and listen carefully for the many different types of birds that frequent the garden, and keep an eye out for Lenny the Lizard. The property is adorned with beautiful plants and flowers throughout (but remember no picking, just looking!)

The nearest major cross streets are Lincoln Avenue and State College where you’ll find nearly anything you would need from a retail store as well as many places to grab a quick bite. The neighborhood grocery store, pizza parlour, Italian restaurant and authentic car hop burger joint (roller skates included) are within walking distance from the home, as are several great parks including “airplane park” which has a replica fighter jet for kids to play on. .

Just 2.6 miles east of Disneyland, our Garden Retreat Vacation Home is conveniently located within a couple miles of the 57, 91 and 5 freeways providing easy access to any of Southern California’s great attractions such as amusement parks, shopping malls, beaches, golf courses, Angels Stadium, Honda Center (Ducks) and much more.
