Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Rosewood for 3 days. It was comfortable and clean. Rosewood was stocked with everything we needed. It was kid friendly. I would only suggest that it is about time to get new mattresses as they were only ok, not the best.

This VRBO is very nice. It’s suited our needs perfectly. Only recommendation may be to tell folks that the thermostat can’t go below 76 in the middle of summer, but the set up and the listing is excellent.

Great 4 days
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to book and access. The freezer's ice dispenser was frozen but there were trays in the cabinet to use. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and utensils. Some of the chairs need replacing but other wise the condition of the house was good. Some of the doors (front and closet) took some muscle to open and close. They made sure the grill had plenty of propane which was great since we grilled a lot and the back yard was a nice retreat. It was only 15 minutes to Cal Tech which was great.

Relaxing Backyard with Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So many sunny, warm days spent in the backyard visiting and dining with friends. The pergola is also a great place for backyard birding and reading. Our Goldendoodle loves the fenced in yard and spends many hours chewing sticks and bones and exploring. The property owner and management company are very attentive to needs and problems that may arise. Kate is wonderful to work with. The neighborhood is safe for walking the dog. Friendly neighbors are a bonus. The house is central for the many activities we enjoy - Huntington Gardens, Norton Simon Museum, Descanso Gardens, LA Arboretum anddowntown Pasadena. Many surrounding ethnic restaurants for dining in, take out or delivery. Rosewood is a gem of a place for a relaxing get-away!

The kitchen was well equipped, the extra chairs in every room much appreciated and the outdoor space was lovely for a Christmas brunch. The house was well located and close to Christmas Tree Lane. The staff at Vacation Living was very responsive both before and during our stay. The large dining room table was great for a festive dinner.

A guest from Martinez, CA

A Quaint Home in Altadena
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a nice stay at this location. The property was very quaint and cozy in a quiet neighborhood and the backyard was very peaceful. The kitchenware could use a thorough cleaning as much of was sticky and dirty (plus we could have used more of it. Staying for a week, we cooked quite a lot and were resigned to using strange methods to accomplish simple dishes). It was a bit dusty in certain areas that been unattended to for some time. We could not figure out how to get hot water from the shower in the Master bedroom so we were forced to shower in the 2nd bathroom. The backyard was full of dog poo upon arrival so that wasn't fun to clean up. We slept very comfortably in the wonderful beds. The restrictive A/C warning of keeping it above 78 degrees was a little concerning on days when the temperature was almost 100 but never became a real issue as long as the fans were all on. The back gate was also a challenge to keep closed (our doggies could open it with their noses). Overall, it was very comfortable with some minor improvements needed that won't hinder a future stay. Nice interiors, space to breathe, peaceful backyard.

Great place for a family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is very cute, beds and couch are comfortable. There was plenty of space for my family of 8. House was also very clean. Communication was great. I appreciated the accommodation of a slightly earlier check in. Kitchen amenities could use an upgrade.The pots & pans were a bit beat up. But everything was in total working order. It was in the 90's when we stayed so the instructions not to turn the A/C on below 76 was a little rough. But there were ceiling fans in every room and we were gone during the day so we did okay. My whole family loved the house. We enjoyed a big family dinner and game night around the large dining table that fit us all comfortably. We would be thrilled to stay here again.

Wonderful 6 weeks at Rosewood
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rosewood was a great place to stay for 6 weeks. The house was very clean and was easy to maintain during our stay. Several friends visited and wereimpressed with the layout of the bedrooms and the two complete bathrooms. We really enjoyed the totally fenced in back yard with its eating patio.Our small Goldendoodle was able to run and explore freely. The lemons and fresh oranges from the backyard trees were picked and enjoyed. The neighborhood was safe for walking our dog three times a day and the neighbors were friendly. We so enjoyed having the San Gabriel mountains so close withgorgeous sunrises and sunsets. A lot of time was spent birding with the Pasadena Audubon as well asvisiting The Huntington Gardens and Museums, Descanso Gardens, Asian Art and Norton Simon Museums, the LA Arboretum, CalTech lectures and concerts, etc... Management for this property was very attentive and helpful and kind. We really enjoyed Rosewood and the Altadena/Pasadena area. We will be back!

Feels Like Home
We stayed here for vacation with a family of 7 and our dog. The location was nice & near the Rose bowl stadium, golf courses, and not far from the main city. The neighborhood was overall nice and quiet. From the outside the house seems small, but as you walk in it is open and clean. A gift basket with snacks and drinks was provided, which was a nice addition to our stay. They also had a folder that provided locations you might want to visit or where the nearest grocery stores are at. They have Roku services in the living room, however, we were unable to figure it out. The couch had a slight cigarette smell. There were 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bedrooms were a decent size but the sheets/comforters had an unpleasant odor. The washing machine was also very small, so we were only able to wash one blanket at a time- which was difficult to take out of the washing machine when finished. The locks on the doors did not work well and the front door lock was hard to unlock at times. The kitchen was a decent size and there were cooking supplies in the cabinets. The dining area was nice with a large table. There was enough room for multiple dishes and eating. The backyard had a sitting area and large open space, good for the dog. The grass was green and they also had a grill if we wanted to barbeque. Parrots could also be seen flying around the rooftops. Overall, our stay was satisfactory and we were pleased with the house.

Cozy Downtown Pasadena home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was in a great location and was ideal for our stay for the cross fit semi finals. The master bedroom was a dream in size and comfort. The kitchen and dining room was ideal for staying in and being able to cook our own meals. The closed in backyard was private and we loved the covered outdoor dining. We found this house charming and clean with the amenities we needed. The house provided adequate towels and linens. I was not impressed with the quality of the bed sheets. They were rather rough and not too comfy although. Our only other critique would be the t.v streaming service was not up to date and we could not get good viewing options. Overall, very pleased and would happily book this home again if returning to Pasadena.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kathleen was wonderful to us. I so much prefer Vacation living to Air B&B as they gave us such great personal service. Not only were the houses wonderful, clean and spacious but Kathleen made sure that we were personally taken care of. We had a lot of difficulty finding a good place for our two dogs and my handicapped husband. That search was so difficult, but Kathleen made sure that we had just the right place for all of us. We are so grateful for all her help and will definitely use this company again and again.
