Photos and Description of the Hollywood vacation house rental
3 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathrooms, Convertible bed(s), Sleeps 8

Beautifully restored 1925 Mediterranean home in the hills above Hollywood. Grand two story entry hall with curved staircase and gallery. Two level living room with, a fireplace, arched ceiling, picture window to the front courtyard and French doors to a terrace at the rear. The dining room has a huge silver leafed cornice molding and a table that expands to seat 14 or more.

The large kitchen has a subzero refrigerator, classic six burner O' Keefe and Merritt stove and wine cooler and separate lounge area with hanging flat screen TV. Three bedrooms upstairs each with king size bed, en suite bathroom and flat screen TV.

Glamorous Hollywood Vacation Home : Secluded on a quiet street, walking distance to the Hollywood Bowl and twenty minutes to everywhere else, this jewel of a home will take you back to the time when movies where still made without sound. While providing plenty of recent technology, this glamorous Mediterranean style residence with touches of Art Deco boasts over 3200 sq ft (300 sq meters) of lovingly restored, beautifully appointed interiors with an optional additional 1100 square feet (100 sq meter) guest unit available.

Entering the two story entry hall reveals a sweeping grand staircase, a magnificent period Art Deco chandelier and the library gallery above. One can easily imagine Norma Desmond descending-- ready for her close up. The drama continues as one steps down from the spacious entry into an inviting living room with a 12 foot arched ceiling, fireplace and huge arched window offering views of the intimate entry court. At the far end of this room, there are two steps up to a cozy TV seating which was originally designed for the grand piano that entertained guests before elegant dinners.

The dining room (embellished with bold silver leafed crown moldings and a magnificent Deco -inspired chandelier) easily accommodates 14 guests at the empire-style dining table. Beyond the dining room is the heart of the house, an updated kitchen that amazingly still fits the early 1920’s but quietly features a sub zero refrigerator, wine cooler, center island, two sinks, dishwasher, microwave and fully restored antique six burner duel oven O’keefe and Merrit range. Also included here is a sitting area with sofa, side chair, a flat screen television and bar stools. On the second floor are three bedrooms, each with king size beds, en suite bathrooms and flat screen televisions.

Besides the nod to history, dual zone heating and air conditioning, DirecTV satellite TV on five screens and a very fast WiFi connection makes this amazing vacation residence a must for your next Los Angeles visit. The only thing missing is you!

This is an absolutely beautiful home. It is the total package. By that I mean it is full of character, clean, stunningly decorated, spacious, comfortable, located in a safe, convenient neighborhood and owned/operated by a great landlord. There were six of us staying there and we didn’t want to leave. If you want the true Hollywood experience on your vacation, then contact Doug. You won’t be disappointed that you did. We will be back!

Our first thought upon arrival was old school hollywood glamour this house is georgous. extreamly clean, very spacious with huge comfortable king beds. As a family of 6 this house was perfect for us. Everything you need is supplied and more.The house is in a perfect position for all the popular tourist attractions but still on a very quiet street. The owner Doug was extreamly helpfull giving us not only tips and infomation to some great places but going out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. As first time vistors to America from Australia I am glad I made the decision to book this fantastic home and have no problem in recommending this awsome vacation rental. Thanks again Doug for everything you were great hope to see you again one day.

I don't even know where to begin....I knew the location of Doug's home was going to be perfect for us, but when we arrived and walked in....it was soooooo much more!! From the super cool kitchen to the huge dining room, from the awesome flat screen tvs to the amazing beds, from the "well-stocked" library to the beautiful shaded terraces, from the creative lighting to the comfy pillows, from the sub zero fridge to the well-decorated rooms.....everything was first class!! Doug was nothing short of the perfect host and we cannot wait to return next summer.

We had six nights in this wonderful house, and it was truly a home from home. Light, spacious, airy and so comfortable, the house more than met our expectations, and Doug was thoughtful and helpful in every way - and a great communicator, always promptly answering emails, etc. It was also lovely to find baskets of toiletries in the all the bathrooms, should we have needed anything - a lovely touch. Our two small children especially loved the kitchen area - as did we! Really well equipped with everything you could need, and the whole house had such style. I especially loved the artwork and photography dotted around! The bedrooms were also great, and the room with the bed that could be split in two worked well for the kids. This is a great house in a great area - really easy to get pretty much everywhere from here, and so a perfect base. Highly recommended!

This is an amazing home! My husband and I stayed here with our two young boys and it was a wonderful vacation. The house is spotless, quiet, and in a very safe area. It is also conveniently located to highways.

Doug is an amazing person to rent from. He's very pleasant and responsive. We will only rent this home for all future LA visits.

Wow! Wow in every possible way. It is impossible to overstate the quality of the house or the lengths Doug has gone to make it feel comfortable and truly special. The photographs are accurate and indicative of what this beautiful home has to offer but the experience of living there is much, much better. Unlike most rentals that are, by intention, simple, sparse and devoid of personality, Doug’s house is brimming with style, quality and individuality. In other words, it doesn’t feel as if you’re in a sterile rental, it feels as if you’re living in a well designed, wonderfully appointed home. One quote says it all. Our 11-year old grandson visited us from Philadelphia. As soon as he walked in the front door he stopped, stared and said, “this is a Bill Gates house.” While that might be an overstatement, we thoroughly enjoyed every single day of our month-long visit.

Just had 4 college friends out for a reunion and we rented this lovely home. I live here in Los Angeles and wanted a fabulous house to entertain and we were not disappointed. Great location - close to my own home and everything was just wonderful! The house is even better (and bigger) than the pictures reflect. So easy to get to and convenient.
I've rented many homes on vrbo but never this incredible and the owner was a sheer delight to work with. He even provided some amenities such as shampoo, toothpaste, toiletries, (which we didn't use but was so thoughtful!). Some other owners never even returned calls but Doug was so very helpful. No view - but honestly, you don't need it - you need a terrific, comfortable, home to stay in which this place in.
We hope to make this an annual tradition and rent this house each and every year. Thank you, Doug!

Rent this home - you won't be disappointed!

My family and I were very fortunate to have made the right choice this past December 2011! This glamorous Hollywood Vacation Home offered us our usual home comforts and so much more. The owners attention to detail from the charming decor to knowing what is important for his guests allowed us to have a superb time only wishing it to have been a little longer. This immaculate home graced us with its large spacious rooms, a wonderful family kitchen, comfortable beds and charming areas to sit and relax after a day in the city. You need only to arrive and sort yourselves out with groceries because everything else is provided for. Keeping ahead of the families laundry was so easy as the proud owner of this home gives his guests only the very best! Doug has thought of absolutely everything and leaves nothing personal around to make one feel uncomfortable on the contrary. Enjoy an extensive library of books on the upper level or browse through the numerous magazines provided.
I could go on and on about our stay but as you know all good things eventually come to an end. So if you are looking for excellence I would not hesitate in recommending this address. Thank you Doug for making us feel so comfortable in your home, making check in and out a pleasure and for making our whole family feel so special. We will be back!

An Italian opinion for international customers

Da anni sia per lavoro che per piacere trascorro con mia moglie lunghi periodi a Los Angeles, ritengo di avere una buona esperienza nel affittare e valutare belle case, avendo vissuto in diverse delle più interessanti ed esclusive aree di questa smisurata ed incredibile città.
SENZA ESITAZIONE CONSIDERO questa villa una delle più affascinanti e migliori soluzioni che si possano scegliere. Perfetta per coloro i quali sanno apprezzare il calore, l’esclusività e l’immenso fascino di una splendida villa costruita nel 1925, di fronte alla villa che fu residenza di Rodolfo Valentino. Incastonata su una delle storiche ed esclusive colline di Hollywood, in una via silenziosa, strategica e facilissima da raggiungere.
La sofisticata unicità di questa dimora corredata di ogni cosa, curata nei minimi particolari e pulitissima, dove l’ineccepibile gestione da parte del proprietario e dei suoi collaboratori, vi farà sentire sin dal primo istante a casa vostra, regalandovi un ricordo che rimarrà nel tempo.
Per tutti questi motivi e le molte piacevoli piccole attenzioni che troverete, io e mia moglie non esitia.mo nel suggerirvela. Noi, da italiani che apprezzano il bello, sicuramente ci torneremo presto.
kind regards. Mr&Ms P.
