Villa Encanto- Luxe 6BRs • Courtyard • Game Room

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this rental, it is easy to see why it stands out. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do while still feeling peaceful and private when we came home. From the moment we arrived, the place felt thoughtfully prepared and welcoming. Everything from the well appointed kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and living spaces to the exceptional game room exceeded expectations.

 Everything we needed was there, impeccably clean and in great condition, the space was set up in a way that made relaxing feel effortless. Whether we were unwinding indoors, enjoying the comforts the home offers to the wonderful backyard, it truly felt like a home away from home.

Most of all, the hosts were exceptional. Communication was quick, friendly, and clear, they went out of their way to make sure our stay was smooth from start to finish. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a noticeable difference. Karin and Doug kindly let us host our wedding rehearsal luncheon at the villa. It was perfect indoors and out 
for the group of people attending.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—and we’d happily stay here again.

Exceptional oasis in Long Beach

We had such a wonderful family stay at Villa Encanto! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how beautiful the home is. The design and attention to detail really stand out. Everything feels stylish, high-end, and thoughtfully put together.

The house itself is top tier in terms of quality. It was spotless, super comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The layout worked really well for our family, giving us space to hang out together but also room to relax separately when we wanted. We especially loved the kitchen, outdoor area with plenty of seating for everyone, along with the huge game room next to it. The location was also perfect!

Overall, Villa Encanto really exceeded our expectations. It’s an amazing place to stay in Long Beach, and we will absolutely be back again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and beautifully designed vacation home!

Our family and friends stayed at the Villa Encanto in March 2025 to celebrate our daughter’s engagement . The property was absolutely perfect for relaxing and enjoying family with enough room and amenities . The house was spacious and eclectic and designed superbly with quality furnishings and accents . The patio area was spacious and comfortable as well as private . There was something for everyone as there was corn hole , ping pong and a spacious barbecue area surrounded by well manicured shrubs and trees that have a cozy feel . The kitchen was well designed out with a large dining area plenty enough for serving 10 plus people . A breakfast nook to enjoy the morning sun and a large coffee and tea area with a nice selection . The rooms were spacious and uniquely decorated with all the amenities including individual heating and ac for comfort . Two of the rooms had balcony patios with bistro tables. We gathered in he evening in the large living room and played games and enjoyed our wine . Within walking distance were several trendy and fun pubs , shops and restaurants. The owners were so kind allowing us an early check-in and late check-out. They also accommodated us with extra parking for our guest. We were so happy we found this property and all our guests were delighted to stay with us . We will definitely rent this property again even for a weekend family getaway . We highly recommend this property as the location was perfect and the owners very accommodating.

A Magical Hidden Gem!!

This house is absolutely stunning and beyond gorgeous! The pictures don’t do it justice. We didn't use all of them but the 6 spacious bedrooms are beautifully decorated with a mix of old and new, and each room has its own AC unit, which was a game-changer for us. The layout is ideal, with all living spaces opening to a private courtyard—perfect for our toddler. The private outdoor area, with corn hole, bocce ball, & ping pong, was a huge bonus. It is very private and felt safe.
The kitchen had everything we needed and more! Our toddler loved playing in the breakfast nook booth. The house is in a great location—just a short walk to Bixby Park, the local Farmers Market, which had live music and a cool vibe, plus cafes & restaurants. Our son had a blast at the playground but loved running around the secluded backyard even more.
This is a perfect family home. With everything it has, it's not your typical vacation home. Karin, the host, was incredibly attentive. We can’t wait to return!
