Quite literally the perfect place to stay...

The short version is - we will never stay at another house again for any California or Disneyland adventure and you should book right now.

Whenever my wife and I plan a family vacation we anticipate needing another one after we get back just to recover. It's always tough on Mom and Dad to create the right experience for the kids and the amount of work involved to get ready is endless. Add in the fact that the trip this Christmas was going to be to Disneyland and I figured we would need our own helpful fairies to keep the magic going for the kids.

At least that's what we used to think...

This house is AMAZING. We brought all 4 of our younger kids and their 3 aunts with us and from the very start Tina and Patrick made it so much easier to create a magical experience.

It started for us the moment we booked with Tina asking about the children, their favorite characters, whether they liked cupcakes or cookies better, etc.

Given it was Christmas I wanted to keep things as simple as possible and be able to relax with the kids. That was easy with Tina sending over the grocery list to fill out so everything was ready when we got there and booking all of our reservations for dining in advance at some of the best places we have ever taken the kids!!!

In addition she sent FANTASTIC tips and advice on getting the most from our stay and when she learned that my son had some special needs she sent me the direct number to the Disneyland offices to request help for him - something I had not even considered! They were absolutely accommodating and it made my son's experience one of the best I've ever seen him have.

When the anticipation was over and we finally got to the house the reaction was all I could have hoped for and more. The kids were amazed at the house they literally thought Mickey lived in when he wasn't at Disneyland. They immediately ran to the Christmas tree and the thoughtful gifts that Tina had left there, played with the art stations, watched movies, dressed up, and had the time of their lives!

I had convinced my wife (who loves to pack for every contingency) we didn't need to do that this time - and I was right! There was a bouncy chair for my daughter, extra blankets, a changing table, EVERYTHING you could think of and more!

My kids didn't cry when we left Disnelyand - they cried when we left the house and asked if we could come back "tomorrow" - I'd say that's a successful trip.

Thanks Tina and Patrick!!!

A short, unsolicited review...everything was as advertised, the place is as good as it seems from the pictures and description (actually, it's a bit better/bigger than the pictures make it seem...). We had no real need to contact the owner during our stay because every last detail was thought of, but we felt very comfortable based on our frequent communication with her before departing that she cared a lot about the house and would be available if anything came up.
It's a short 10 minute walk to disney, and we tried driving the GEM car a couple of times, which was fun.
Full size nice washer/dryer in the garage, which is great with little kids. Nice pool, stayed pretty warm even during a 'cold streak' during our stay.
Not much else to say, great house, caring owner, the kids really probably miss the house more than disney.
We were three girls, ages 4, 2 and 6 months, and 6 adults, the house was the perfect size, cozy, not cramped. If travelling to Disney again in the future, will try to stay here for sure...
Thanks!

You will not be disappointed with this home! From the moment you step through the gate upon arrival you know you have entered into a special home. You can feel the owner's hospitality immediately. We stayed in the home the last week of October and chose the heated pool option. This is a must! The yard is just perfect and you can see the Disneyland fireworks right from patio if you aren't enjoying them at the park. One evening we just recooperated, ate dinner on the patio, took a swim, and then hung out for the fireworks and had dessert. I would also recommend renting the GEM car for your stay. Tina will leave easy-to-follow directions for getting to the park and the kids enjoy the ride over as much (if not more) than any ride in the parks. As for the house itself.....fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! There are candy dispensers on the wall that you can help yourself to candy Lego blocks and a variety of gummy candies. The playroom will entertain every child! There are drums, a microphone (a big "hit"!), Legos, a play kitchen, movies, and on and on I can go. Your children will never be bored and at some point durning your stay they will ask to stay and play at the house instead of going to Disneyland! Everything is EXTREMELY clean. The toys were clean! That's not easy to accomplish! The rooms are decorated in a way that the house feels like an extenstion of Disneyland. Every detail is Disney! The home provides everything that you can possibly need! During the every step of the reservation process through check out, Tina is availble to answer questions and assist with details of your vacation. We rebooked for the same time next year the day we checked out! You will not be sorry you stayed in this amazing home! Also, there will be a welcome gift for the kids. You will be impressed!
