Sarah’s place was perfect for our multi generational family. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. Her place was close to everything and very convenient. It was so thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Our granddaughter loved the pool, the dress-ups and the toys, and we all really liked spending time together in the outdoor area-watching a game on the tv, eating meals together, talking around the fire pit, or playing games. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved staying at Avocottage! Very pleased with our experience.
Each room was thoughtfully curated with so many cute design details. The space was comfortable and clean. I truly can’t say enough good things about this place — the pool was a great temp and relaxing, the backyard serene with swings and a fire pit for s’more’s(!), the game room was a hit with the PacMan arcade and the space overall was just adorable. It was also nice to have separate pool towels and a washer / dryer available for use.
Sarah is an amazing host; very quick to respond with clear communication. She went the extra mile to ensure the floors and rugs were clean for us as we have crawling babies. She also kindly answered a million of my questions, had a crib and high chair waiting for us and kept in contact throughout our stay to ensure we were well taken care of.
Thanks, Sarah for a welcoming and memorable stay — our family had an amazing time! We will return! Five stars!

We couldn’t have found a more ideal place for two nuclear families to stay comfortably together. This place is a dream for young kids and we made the most of the incredibly comfortable and well equipped back yard.

We had the privilege to stay here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with a trip to Disneyland. This home was fitting with the Disney themes. Lovely home with a lot of work put into it with plenty of activities for our group of kids. I definitely recommend and would visit again. Great communication with a friendly host. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Our stay at Boho Bongolo was absolutely amazing! The home had such a cozy, feel-good vibe—it was perfect for our group of five couples. Every room was thoughtfully designed, with fresh towels and beautiful décor touches throughout.
And the bedding—wow!
The duvet covers and pillows were unbelievably comfy, like sleeping on a cloud.
The kitchen was fully stocked, which made meals super easy, and the backyard was such a fun and relaxing space, complete with games, a cute bar, and a spa that added to the chill atmosphere.
Sarah was fantastic to communicate with—super responsive and easy to talk to, which made everything smooth from start to finish.
While parking was a bit tricky at first, we figured it out and had enough space for all our cars. The location couldn’t be better—just a quick Uber ride to downtown and all the action.
We seriously can’t wait to come back. We all fell in love with this casita. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

A real hidden gem. I often go to Orange County and I wouldn’t have first considered Santa Ana but the value equation for this place is fantastic. The house is appropriate for all age groups as my little kids enjoyed the theme and my older adult children loved the backyard. So much space. Book it - well worth it!

This house was exactly what I was hoping for!! It did not disappoint whatsoever. It was so adorably decorated….Disney.. but not overly.. just like I love. All the different Disney rooms had us all saying omg over and over!! My grandkids loved it all.
It was immaculate….everything was clean and tidy and had all the things we needed for a great trip. And can we talk about the outdoor area!!! OMG it was so great to be able to have family time..with the pool and the fire pit. And the big table to have dinner and watch a movie! And we loved finding all the hidden Mickeys!
I can’t say enough great things about this place, and we are planning on coming back! So “See ya real Soon”
Thank you for an amazing stay for our wonderful celebration!!

This was our final 3-night stay during our 2-week trip in the U.S., and it was the perfect way to end our journey. The house had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, and the spacious backyard was a wonderful place to relax and play.
The large avocado tree in the backyard was something really special. It not only looked beautiful but also provided great shade for playing. The gas firepit was easy to turn on and off, so the kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows every evening, and we had lovely evenings spending time outside. The gas BBQ grill was also easy to use and perfect for outdoor meals.
Whenever we had questions about how to use something in the house, our host Sarah responded promptly and helpfully. During our stay in the LA area, some of our nearby friends came by to say hello, and their little kids had a great time playing in the backyard pool. The pool was also easy to heat and made the whole experience even better.

This place needs a Mary Poppins room as it is Practically Perfect in Every Way!!! Stayed a week with my daughters and 5 grandchildren and wish I had planned it better to stay at the house more each day. We played together so much while here - pool, games, firepit, dining, and movie nights outdoors. Although each kid had brought a Tablet, I don’t think they ever were used: too busy having a good time.
I highly highly recommend this place and will definitely be booking again. Sarah - thank you for always being so attentive to my messages and providing my family with such wonderfully created memories.

This spot was amazing! The corner store across the street is so convenient. We walked to a great coffee shop too. It’s not too far from the beach or Disney which fit all of our groups needs. My group was 5 adults and 2 small kids. They had everything we needed and room for another couple if needed. We had friends who live locally over to visit and enjoy the yard. The space was perfect for a campfire and hanging out. The pool is the perfect size for small kids and adults like us who want to cool down but not necessarily swim. The children’s room with toys and princess dresses were the perfect fit. It’s rare to see so many children’s amenities! The 3 separate bathrooms + an entirely separate suite with its own entrance from the yard + game room which its own entrance made it perfect for all of us connecting on different time zones to get privacy with varying sleep schedules. I can’t say enough good about the spot. Definitely will be looking to come back!
