Thank you so much for opening up your home to us! The in-home amenities were so hopeful! The pack-n-play, toys, strollers, toys, monitors, etc! Just awesome! The most touching little surprise was the handmade and colored birthday card for our daughter. That meant so much! You started her celebration off! We will rent again and again!

The end of our two-week stay in Storybook Villa – Our party of 5 have enjoyed a busy 2 weeks seeing all that Los Angeles has to offer. Thanks for the Owners-Opinion recommendations!! I think we all need a holiday now to recover. The house has been an ideal base for us at the start and end of the day. We have been able to plan our days and then kick back later and relax all together. Once again, a big thanks for making us feel at home!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This vacation rental was PERFECT for our Disneyland adventure. This was our first of many family (4 generations!) trips to Disneyland and your condo was icing on the cake. Having a kitchen, a small yard, and the ability to walk directly to the park without dealing with strollers being put into the trams was priceless. But it also helped that you had a perfect set up for the 5 kids. Thank you also for the very thoughtful gifts for the children. What a treat!

Our holiday in California was wonderful. Disneyland and California Adventure parks were… magical! Our 11 month old granddaughter was mesmerized by the Disneyland parade at night. We visited local beaches (beautiful!) and rented bicycles for a ride on the boardwalk. The only downside is the traffic here – it is awful.
Your home is lovely and very well equipped – especially for those with young children – we appreciated these special touches.

Close Enough for a Break. We Could Head Right Back

Review submitted: November 23, 2011   Date of arrival: October 22, 2011

We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the little gifts you left. After a morning at the park the little ones enjoyed a more quiet afternoon at the condo playing on the patio playground. It was close enough for a break for everyone from Disneyland and after a little rest we could head right back. We also loved being able to cook our own food and enjoy the beautiful weather while eating out on the patio. We can’t wait to come back again.

Perfect for What We Had in Mind

Review submitted: November 23, 2011   Date of arrival: September 30, 2011

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay here. We wanted something more roomy than a hotel with the convenience of being within walking distance to the park. Storybook Villa provided us with that, and more! Thank you for fostering fond memories and a truly magical Disneyland experience. We hope to come and stay again. Our boy’s only complaint the entire week we were here to visit Disneyland was that we didn’t spend enough time relaxing at the condo as they would have liked! Maybe next time we’ll do fewer days at the park and more time enjoying the villa. Perfect for what we had in mind this trip.
Thank you very much!

Hi Josh, Mindie, and Family.
Thanks so much for this wonderful location. Very comfortable and quiet after all the hectic sounds of Disneyland... Debra.
...Thank you for the excellent refuge after our wonderful days at the parks. Both adults and kids had lots of room to stretch out. The grandkids appreciated their own rooms complete with toys. And thanks very much for the house warming gifts! Take care, Bob...
I am so glad that we found your home away from home and that you are willing to share it with others. What a wonderful place you have here. Our kids were ready to move in permanately! We will definitely remember Storybook Villa for any future trips. Thanks again, Karen...
Thank you for opening your home to us. The kids loved the gifts and took turns on the top bunk in their room when they were not playing with the Disney toys in there! I loved all of the framed story pages and am pretty sure we have the books they are from at home! Also loved the Disney fact book and will be looking for my own copy! Looking forward to our next trip down and will look into staying here again! Thanks for the gifts for the kids and everything else. All the best, Jeremy, Debra, Karen, Bob...

Our Son Proposed... Happiest Vacation of My Life.

Review submitted: September 15, 2011   Date of arrival: September 1, 2011

Josh, Mindie, and Family- Thanks for sharing your home with us. We loved being so close to Disneyland and enjoyed the walk each day. So much better than staying in a hotel. On our first night here our son Nathan proposed to his girlfriend Elizabeth on the new Little Mermaid Ariel's Undersea Adventure Ride after taking her out to Ariel's Grotto for supper. The start of their lifelong commitment to each other started here and we were able to celebrate the event back in your home!! We had a truly amazing vacation. May God bless you and your family as you continue to share your home away from home with others. As a token of our thanks we bought a new game for your collection - the Original I.Q. Tester (bought at a Millie's - a great place for breakfast and lunch). A game both adults and children might enjoy in the quietness of your condo. Thanks again for the memories. Hope to visit again. -Ken and Linda of Calgary, Alberta (Canada)
What an amazing place! Happiest vacation of my life. Thank you! -Elizabeth soon-to-be daughter-in-law

Very Impressed with the Organized Info-Binders

Review submitted: August 14, 2011   Date of arrival: July 8, 2011

Thank you for creating such a lovely vacation home. The kids were delighted with the toys & enjoyed watching the "Robots" dvd (I think more than 5 times!). We made use of the beach towels when we drove down to the "baby beach" in Dana Point. It was great to have a kitchen to cook in. My sis-in-laws family who was traveling with us only likes to eat home-cooked meals, so it was important to have a functional kitchen. You thought of everything to accomodate us. On a personal note, I am very impressed with the organization of info binders you put together. Awesome job! Thanks again. We will definitely suggest to anyone we know come this way to consider staying with you.

Thank You for the Wonderful Disney Adventure!

Thank you for the wonderful Disney adventure! We especially appreciated the 15 minute door-to-door trip to Disneyland. Our kids played on the pation and with the toys upstairs and enjoyed the pool.
Happy Independence Day!

Disney Very Close- We Walked...Amenities Excellent

Review submitted: July 7, 2011   Date of arrival: June 27, 2011

The stay was very memorable. Thank You very much for sharing the home with us. Vishan loved the bunk bed very much. We felt very much like home. Our parents from India enjoyed the stay and are carrying many good memories back home. Disneyland was very close by and we walked our way to the wonderland. All the amenities were excellent and we very much enjoyed the stay.

Spreading the Word in Australia... Storybook Villa

Review submitted: July 7, 2011   Date of arrival: June 14, 2011

The condo was great, we enjoyed every minute of it and it sure made our trip a lot easier with the kids. They were ecstatic with their gifts and wanted to race back to Downtown Disney to spend it. The complex is very close to everything you need and has great facilities.

Overall we were very pleased with the attention to detail you have when it comes to things people will need on holiday, and felt very much at home. The families were discussing our trip and both agreed that when we go back to the U.S we will definitely be staying at the Storybook Villa - Fingers crossed see you again soon.

We will be spreading the word in Australia that if you go to Disneyland you MUST stay at the Storybook Villa.

Thanks Again

Truly Amazing Vacation and Home Away From Home!

Review submitted: July 7, 2011   Date of arrival: June 19, 2011

Wow! What a truly amazing vacation and home away from home! We wish we could have caught on camera the kids' reaction to their bedroom (and toys) and their wonderful gifts. Thank You for making it so much more special. Disneyland is sooo magical in every way. Watching the kids' reaction made us feel like kids again. The memories will last a lifetime!! Great home and well thought out! Thanks again for the lovely stay!

Your home is a wonderful oasis

Review submitted: June 11, 2011   Date of arrival: May 19, 2011

Your home is a wonderful oasis from the hustle and bustle of Disneyland. We drove all day long from Northern California with 3 young children asking "Are we there yet?" It sure was nice to off-load at a well kept and highly organized vacation home. You really have all bases covered from helpful reminders to the personal touch of providing childrens' gifts. The location is FANTASTIC and it provided me the opportunity to focus on fun instead of logistics. This was a FAMILY VACATION to remember. A great way to celebrate being "American" before I go back to Afghanistan for another deployment.
May God Bless your family for all you have provided for us and all the families yet to come.

Seeing Disneyland through her eyes - PRICELESS!

Review submitted: June 11, 2011   Date of arrival: May 15, 2011

Thank you for your home. Location, location, location! Had a great time. Walked to Disneyland every day. Our granddaughter Ella loved her gift, her room, the toys -- everything! She may not remember this visit but we for sure will. Seeing Disneyland through her two-and-a-half year old eyes, her smiles -- is and was PRICELESS! The house suited us so very well and so comfortable and nice to come back to after our long days in the park. Enjoyed the pools one afternoon. We will recommend to anyone headed this direction.
Thanks again,

We had a wonderful time and it is so close to Disneyland, you can even see the fireworks from here. It has everything someone looks forward to in a home away from home. Everything was well thought of and very neat and clean. We will refer our friends to this place and will definitely look for it for our next visit. Thanks a lot for the thoughtful gift... Something to remember for years to come about her first trip to Disney!!! Great place... Khushi, Vahini, Vikranth. El Dorado Hills, CA

Great Location, Well Equipped, & Has Lots of Space

Review submitted: April 26, 2011   Date of arrival: March 10, 2011

Josh & Mindie:

Thanks for the use of your condo for the week! This place is in a great location, well equipped, & has lots of extra space to spread out over the week! We walked to the tram most days & it was nice not to have to park at Disney. Did the breakfast at Arriel’s Grotto, our 4 year old loved it (& the food was actually okay too)! Also Whitewater snacks in the Grand Californian has a good breakfast.
We took your advice & went to Irvine Park. We had a great time there. (The market on the way, across from the college, has the BEST lemon squares ever!) Pony rides + bike rentals = fun! I hope people take care of your place. The extras (laundry detergent, bounce sheets, lots of paper towels/toilet paper) did not go unnoticed. It was like we were staying at a friend's place. Hope to visit again one day!

Josh & Mindie,

Thank you so much for the use of your condo for our vacation. This was so much nicer than staying in a hotel. So much room and very nice furniture. Very well taken care of. We brought our daughter and her friend. Her friend has never been to Disneyland so this experience was wonderful for her. We will definitely keep your place in mind for our next trip to California.

PS. Thank you for the gift cards for the girls that was a nice thing to do for them, they were excited. Thank you again.

Owners response: Terry & Elizebeth- We are always so happy to hear from our guests that they had a great stay. Even more encouraging is to hear you will be back year after year! We would love to have you again and again (be sure to book early so its a sure thing!). We try hard to make sure all the major things on our guest's checklist are there to make it a "hassle free" vacation. Yeah! Looking forward to hearing from you again,

Review submitted: March 11, 2011   Date of arrival: March 3, 2011

This place is fantastic. If it is available, you should book it for your vacation at Disney. The booking process is great, with a lodgix reservation system that allows you to pay with credit card (without an extra 3.5% fee). in other words, the owners are picking up those extra fees for you.
we arrived at 3pm, tired and hungry from our travels. the owners had programmed the keyless entry with a personal code so we didn't have to worry about keys for the week! we stepped into a warm and inviting living room with lots of personal touches (mickey paraphernalia, travel books, candles :) )...
the kitchen is very well stocked. it was nice to leave our infant travel seat at home as there is a full sized highchair for use. loved the new gas stove, full sized refrigerator, and extra kids stuff in the drawers.
the bedrooms are lovely also. comfy beds with nice bedding (no yukky hotel 'coverlets'). two playpens available, and a third bedroom with bunks so the kids had their own room. the owners had even left unwrapped, brand new toys for the kids' use.
we have booked with vrbo/homeaway every year for the past five years. this place far surpasses any other rental we've encountered. thanks Josh and MIndie for letting us use your home for the week!
ps - there's even a double stroller there, it was very nice not to have to pack ours!
pps - the walk to the disney trams is VERY Manageable. i would say less than 5 minutes even. GREAT location!!!!

Owners response: Sara & Scott-
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad all the little extas made your stay comfortable. We loved hearing that your experience at Storybook Villa surpassed all your past HomeAway/VRBO rentals. Wow! What a compliment- Thank You. We paid extra for our easy-online reservation system & extra to get such a close location to Disney so we couldn't be happier to hear that these things contributed to making your experience fantastic. Mindie's favorite part was to read in our Guestbook that you valued our "OO" (owner's opinion) in "The Big Green Binder" (ie Things To Do) and you had a fun day at Irvine Park with the family. We love recommending the local favorites and we love saving our guests time, money, and hassle!

Thanks again for your referral of our home. It means a lot to us.

Please come stay again,
Josh & Mindie
