Description

Look no further... this totally (upscale) furnished Los Angeles private estate-guest house is a perfect little paradise for one person or a couple. If more than 2 people there is an extra charge per person for the main unit. There is a secret room behind a bookcase that leads to a finished attic that can accommodate 4 more children or adventurous adults if needed for an additional cost $100.00 per nt. Total capacity with both units is 6 people.   Feel like you're in the tropics in your own home away from home. This quiet cul-de-sac street offers a serene environment for a writer or a movie industry executive who wants a peaceful setting to come home to. It has been home to many celebrities. It's an enchanting oasis. Entertain friends around the fire pit or have your business meetings at the gazebo bar. Or just enjoy a hot jacuzzi at the end of a hard day. Private patio and BBQ area. The owner, Georgia Durante lives on the property and is available to assist you with any needs you may have to make your stay more enjoyable while giving you privacy. Pool is not heated in winter--can be 4 extra cost. A kitty lives in the main house, but has never been in the rental unit. Highly allergic people should take note.   VIRTUAL TOUR OF GROUNDS AT THE ENCHANTED MANOR.   The Secret Room:   If you have a larger family the secret room can be opened for an additional $100.00 per night. Another very large living room with a stone fireplace is included in this rental, creating 1000 more sq. ft. The secret room is a finished attic behind a bookcase. You need to be old enough (or young enough) to climb a ladder. Kids and adventurous adults love this room. It has a great view of the grounds. There are 4 twin size beds in the secret room and room enough for a queen size air bed. Please note, if renting the secret room, tenants will need to climb a ladder to access the space. Tenant is aware that this is not recommended for very young children or elderly adults. The Secret Room is ideal for children but may not be comfortable for tall adults with the low ceiling. Owner will not be responsible for any unforeseen accidents resulting from the use of the ladder.   The Main Unit:   Has a very large living room with a fireplace and two very comfortable down couches. At night it becomes the bedroom by pulling the queen size (plush Mattress) Murphy bed. It has a full kitchen with all that is needed for cooking. The breakfast room is octagon shaped with French windows on all sides. Very bright and cheerful room which looks out to the pool and outside fireplace.   Romantic Poolside Dinners & Events/filming: The Enchanted Manor is magical, especially at night. The lighting on the grounds, trees, deck and pool turns the night into a breathtaking romantic atmosphere. The pool is a saltwater pool so there are no harsh chemicals. There is also an outside shower behind the jacuzzi.   Vacation renters are not allowed to have parties with several people. The cost for a party is $2800.00 for a five hour event for up to 50 people. If you plan to have visitors you must inform the owner before you book. Durning the pandemic I am not allowing anyone on the property other than the people staying here without first getting permission. Scenes from the Lifetime Movie, 'William & Kate' "Charles Mason" were shot here as well as many other feature films, TV shows, Music Video's, and commercials.   The Fire Pit, Outside Fireplace and Gazebo Bar:   The outside fireplace is on a private patio off the breakfast room. It's like having anther living room outside With plush out door couches and coffee table. This area also has a BBQ. There is another BBQ on the 3rd level of the deck next to the fire pit. Sitting around the fire pit at night with the kids roasting marsh mellows is a wonderful family experience. Having business meetings around the gazebo bar.   The Play House and Tree House:   The play house is a mini version of the main house. It has 2 twin size beds, Cable TV, fireplace and a phone line. It is equipped with child size furniture and toys. The children also have their own patio and patio furniture. It's like a Disneyland here for kids. The tree house is another adventure for them to explore. Many more photo's can be seen on the Fan page for The Enchanted Manor . The house is on a tree lined cul de sac. Very secure area. The house has an alarm and security cameras around the perimiter for more peace of mind. No parties without permission from the owner.   Security:   There are camera's on the exterior of the property. They do not record sound. There are no camera's inside the rental. I do events here which is the reason for the security camera's. There are 2 camera's in the back yard that covers the patio, deck and pool area. One in the Children's Playhouse and facing the area in front of the playhouse which is where the catering would be for events. One camera faces the front entrance of the rental unit. Other cameras in the front face the street for your protection. Your safety is a priority.

Enchanted getaway

A very charming property with a lot of character! This was a perfect place for us to rent while we were in LA visiting family. The lay out of the property was perfect for us. I loved the private little cobblestone entry way. Exploring all the little gems of the property was fun too- including the secret room, the play house, and all the little side areas in the back yard to sit and relax. This was a perfect COVID friendly yard to hang out with a few of our guests - gave us plenty of space and we even enjoyed the hot tub with the peaceful waterfall in the background and sitting around the gas firepit on the cozy chairs was a nice way to end the night. Georgia was a very friendly and accommodating host- we are looking forward to our visit again!!

Perfect weekend getaway

We were looking for a place with a pool for the weekend to break the monotony of these stay-at-home times with our two boys. We opted for the Enchanted Manor because of how unique it was and we were not disappointed. So many points of interest on the property like the hidden room, the clubhouse, the pool with its waterfalls, the firepit for roasting marshmallows, the tiki bar... Our kids will be talking about this place for years to come. Georgia was very sweet and very available by phone if we needed anything at all. Great stay!

A great staycation!

My family and I had a wonderful long weekend! Our kids had a blast playing in the cute kids house and secret room. Our whole family enjoyed the pool while grilling out together. Everything was very clean, we had plenty of towels for the pool and our dog was able to come! We really just wanted a place to get away but not too far away and this was the perfect retreat! Georgia was a great host and very accommodating. We will definitely be booking again in the near future!
