The pool

A private saltwater pool, steps from the dining room.

It's yours alone: an oval saltwater pool, 3 to 6 ft deep, with shallow steps at one end. It's not heated, and there's no hot tub.

  • Four cushioned loungers under white fringe umbrellas on a brick deck
  • A chest of floats and noodles; serviced every Monday morning
  • French doors from the dining room and breakfast nook open onto the deck
  • No diving; an adult supervises children at all times
Entry hall with carved double doors, tall windows and a curving carved-wood staircase

The home

Old-Hollywood bones, made for gathering.

Carved wood stairs, patterned tile, wrought-iron balconies and French doors on two sides. Vista Villa is a Spanish-style home on a quiet Sherman Oaks hillside, set up for groups who want privacy, space and a real LA stay rather than a hotel.

Past guests have come for family visits, multi-generation weeks and long LA vacations. The pool and terraces carry the days; the long table and two living rooms carry the evenings.
