Overall a very nice place to stay. Were a few problems.

The Bar-B-Q station was useless as the unit would not stay lit and the fridge was not on. Thought it was the gas, so we changed the tank, but still the unit would not stay lit. We planned a Bar-B-Q on Saturday and ended up catering the party at a higher $. The house grounds needs updating, as the decking and umbrellas and some of the furniture are in bad shape. A nice touch on the accent lighting of the backyard, but unfortunately, again, about 40 % did not work. It is a shame that they do not invest some dollars to update the unit grounds. A few thousand dollars invested would put this rental at 4+ STARS. The master bedroom bathroom (or as we called it, the woods) was quite unusual. Unless you have no inhibitions, having the toilet in the the bedroom with no privacy wall or curtain is not something you see everyday. (we joked every time someone used it, by knocking on the door and asking "are you in the woods?") Accessing another one of the bedrooms is awkward as well, as you have to go through another bedroom and laundry room to get to the bathroom. Again, this house brings "families" together. The wine cooler unit was broken, but that was explained at the time we arrived. Living Room TV was a challenge to watch as there are about 7 remotes, and none seemed to control all the functions on the Television. (again, 199.00 for a Harmony Remote would fix everything)

The Pool area was great and clean. Filter and heater worked like a charm. The house overall was updated and accommodating. We had 10 people living there and you never felt like it. On Saturday, we had 47 people for a get together. It never seemed crowded and no complaints from neighbors. Our company raved about the look of the backyard, (again except for the updating needs). Bedrooms were a nice size. Kitchen was large and had just about everything you would need.

Patty was great and highly recommended by us.

I would definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Camarillo. (if they would have us back after this review?) I would strongly suggest that they take a weeks rental $ and re-invest it fixing the BBQ/Fridge unit, put some up-lighting on the palm trees, buy a few new umbrellas and throw out some of the old furniture in the backyard, hook the ceiling speakers to the television, (unless they are but we never knew how to get them working). Invest in a privacy wall in the "Woods". If all this was done, I'm thinking 5 stars!
