Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Encino, Los Angeles

Easily one of the best stays I’ve ever had. The space captured the local vibe perfectly — stylish, welcoming, and peaceful. The layout was fantastic, and it felt like stepping into a Restoration Hardware showroom. Everything was spotless, and surprisingly, it was incredibly quiet throughout the stay. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and relaxing experience!

Meghan and Viktor were great hosts. The house was very clean and was furnished ideally for a family holiday. The back yard had great activities (darts, fussball table) for older kids. Hiking, shopping and restaurants are all within a short distance. The beach and Camarillo outlets are only a 30 min drive. The AC worked great, beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating for hosting a small dinner party. The hot tub was exceptionally clean and a lovely way to unwind after a busy day. The attention to detail in the accomodation was noticeable, which is why I can highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to enjoy activities in the San Fernando Valley and Conejo Valley.

This home was private, peaceful, and cozy. Beautiful home. It was easy to get to all the stores, Ventura Blvd, and Westfield Topanga Mall. Very pleasant and safe neighborhood. The host was wonderful as well. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to LA. I loved the stay.

Thank you, sweet Larissa, for hosting us! The house is a serene dream, submerged in luscious trees and nature. We loved every second of our stay in this home and are beyond grateful. The house is flooded with glorious morning and sunset light from all sides.

We loved this house, particularly the beautiful and expansive backyard! The kids were happy with the ping pong table and horseshoes while we all loved the abundant lounges and seating for sharing meals (using the very nice gas grill) and overall relaxing. Inside the house all of the furniture and decor was well appointed and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped and a bonus was use of the very nice washer and dryer. The master bedroom is in the center of the house without windows, which was ok, just a little different. The bathroom attached to the master is a 3/4 and rather small but well appointed. Overall we loved the house and Christopher was a very responsive and always friendly and positive. Highly recommend!

Great host, easy peasy check-in, very private which was great for our family with little kids. Off main road so not too loud compared to much of SF Valley. Pool and garage recreational items were great for our family. Loved the updated looking interior, comfortable beds, nice showers, great kitchen, comfortable living room. The back patio with fireplace was great for lounging with coffee in the morning and dinner at night. Would definitely come back.

We booked this place last minute for a long weekend in LA. Part business, part pleasure. It was perfect for what we needed. Looks exactly like the photos, with plenty of space for a family of 4 and 2 small dogs. Super clean. Well-designed and renovated. Big beds. Big pool! The location is great, 30 min drive to the Hollywood hills and 5 min from the nearest grocery store and pharmacy. Loved the game room. Highly recommended!

Phillip is such an amazing host and very responsive. His place was clean and well kept and made me feel at home. I would definitely book his home again.

Great location perfect for Universal Studios. Good restaurants nearby. Pac-Man game inside unit is great. Amenities were nice. Bathroom clean. Overall great spot would recommend

I love this condo in Westwood -- I am a return customer. FABULOUS location in Westwood near everything and perfect for UCLA. It has parking (!!) and a pool and you can walk to campus, walk to Target (many time if you are helping a student move. Many, many times!) Lots of restaurants all over and Trader Joe's right downstairs. The place is lovely. Great kitchen and bathroom. Super clean and lots of fun.

Maria’s home was fantastic. Location was perfect. The apartment was incredibly clean and equipped with everything you could need. The views were amazing! Check in was straightforward, we followed the instructions on the booking. Needed to make a brief call for Maria to verify but she picked up on the first ring. Also had a small issue with parking (not Maria’s fault at all!) and she was very responsive and dealt with it very quickly. All in all, our stay was wonderful. Thank you Maria!

Maggie was an exceptional host. Any thing that we needed or if anything happened she was one phone call away. The location was awesome and perfectly described. We loved our entire experience and we would most definitely stay at this location again.

The LV House was wonderful to stay in! It was exactly as described, and was a beautiful and modern place to stay. Cassy made each step of the way easy and checked in often to ensure we had everything we needed. The area was also very close to a lot of fun activities and site seeing.

Stay was great. Felt right at home. Make sure you follow the check in details correctly. Felt a little uneasy at first but became comfortable once you settle in. Great location. Walking distance to LA live. Will return!

Stefania was an excellent host. Always helpful and responsive. When we arrived we were tired, it was late, and we had some trouble finding the building. If I had printed out her instructions it would have been a breeze. Felt safe and the unit is centrally located. Both the bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. Loved the spacious patio! I recommend using the parking inside the building garage. The street parking is free but fills up quickly. Overall, a nice choice.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at this cozy Airbnb in a very nice and convenient part of Santa Monica. The space is thoughtfully designed and makes excellent use of every corner — even including all types of phone charging connectors, which was a great touch for travelers. The backyard is beautifully decorated, and we really enjoyed having breakfast out there both mornings. Smitha was a fantastic host — very communicative and welcoming. She even shared some fresh fruit with us, which was such a kind gesture.

My sister and I come to LA every summer. This was a great place to stay. Echo park- stone’s throw from silver lake. Amazing walks. Pete’s cabin was cool and quiet. Just what we needed.

Finding a rental in this area of Los Angeles is very rare. It’s near where my daughter and her family live so we could walk there every day without having to hire an Uber or Lyft. Plus the area is quiet and felt very safe. We would definitely stay there again.

What a cool place! Kagel Canyon is so close, yet feels world's away from the frantic pace of LA. The house is great - and you quickly get used to the canyon's winding roads to a parking spot right at the gate to the property. Host Vic is very responsive - when we had one issue the first evening, he was there in less than 10 minutes to correct it. He and his co-host are dedicated to making improvements to create a perfect guest experience - even brought over a new table & chairs for the patio while we were there. Kagel Canyon may be further away from downtown LA & Hollywood, but has a similar vibe to Laurel and Topanga canyons, legendary hangouts of the late 60's. Quirky and interesting homes amongst the giant trees - fun to stroll the streets even if there's alot of up and down hiking. Especially enjoyed hiking up the trail from nearby Veranda Dr. - 360° views down into the canyon and into the mountains. Very quickly felt at home - a perfect respite from a very busy city. 5 stars!

It was perfect, better than perfect: Top of line new Airstream ✅ Best sauna you’ll ever sit in ✅ Best hot tub ✅ Wood burning fire pit with proper seating ✅ Best Landscaping and well curated outside lighting ✅ coolest outdoor shower you’ll actually enjoy using ✅ every amenity (robes, slippers, easy to use coffee machine, audio, most comfortable patio seating ever, towels, blankets, huge fridge). It was magical. The host is soooooo responsive. We’re big coffee drinkers and we used all the instant cups for the maker so I mentioned it. We noticed a platter full of the coffee maker things (I don’t know what they’re called) placed by the front. It was like the coffee fairy payed us a visit. They asked if we needed anything after we checked in and before checking out. The bed was super comfy. I can go on.
