It's a magical place with stunning views, including the Hollywood sign and it's like our own private retreat with a small bamboo forest outside our bedroom window. We both have always loved old Spanish style houses and this one exudes charm. The Unique Benefits at this House: A view to die for.

This location had the most amazing views of LA and was located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I’m an LA native and this was so conveniently close to all the places I wanted to take my family for a visit. The house itself was so quaint and comfortable. Also, the host was so great to talk to and was so accommodating. We can’t wait to come back.

What a unique experience to stay in this fantastic home on a private lot with a breathtaking view of Universal City. We loved sipping coffee and wine on the patio in the lush surroundings. The house had everything we could need and we were very comfortable. A great place to unwind a rest after long days in Universal Hollywood.
5.0
My family had a fun and relaxing stay at this wonderful home. It's a cozy retreat with wonderful views. Close enough to plenty of activities that the area has to offer, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle when you're ready to rest. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We will book for longer next time.

We enjoyed our three nights at Debbie’s place. The property is quiet and secure whilst being only a six minute drive from Universal Studios. It was great to take a break from the hectic pace of LA and take in the fabulous views from the house and gardens.
The house looks exactly as it does in the photos with an old Hollywood charm.

This was our 2nd stay at Casa Colinas. The property is just how we remembered. The location cannot be beat and the LA traffic is worth it for the absolutely amazing view! Hosts are great at communicating and so helpful. 5 stars

This was our second stay at this beautiful property and we will always come back. Communication with Debbie is always outstanding. Cleanliness was to the highest standard and everything was very well stocked. The A/C was divine as we are not fans of hot hot weather. The kindness shown to us by Debbie and Rick was unparalleled. You cannot go wrong here and we were very sad to leave.

Our family really enjoyed our time at the property. The home was very clean and beautiful. The views were absolutely amazing! The owners of the property were a pleasure to speak with. All of the parks and activities were In close proximity. We had a fantastic stay and will recommend this property to all.

This was a picture-perfect property for our family trip to LA. The home has amazing 1930s charm along with all the modern updates you need for a comfortable stay. Both bedrooms had generously sized closets along with drawers and shelves, so it was easy to settle in for our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with nice dishes and cookware, and there was a good supply of kitchen and cleaning essentials (like nonstick spray, coffee filters, dish soap, garbage bags, cleaning sprays, etc.). It was hands-down the cleanest rental we’ve stayed at, and Debbie was easily accessible for any questions.
Of course, the primary reason you should stay here is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience this location. The home is on a stunning, winding street in the Hollywood Hills. Crossing through the front gate is like entering a secret garden in a world that is all your own. The views from the main patio are unbelievable and even better than pictured. We enjoyed our coffee from the window seat every morning and sat on the patio in awe every evening, taking in the mountains around us and the city lights below.
The location was insanely convenient for all our planned adventures which included Universal Studios, an Angels game, a Dodgers game, Angels Flight, Grand Central Market, whale watching, the Hollywood Bowl, the Walk of Fame, Runyon Canyon, the La Brea Tar Pits, Santa Monica Beach, Point Dume, Malibu Beach, and countless beautiful drives in between. We’d absolutely stay again!

It was a wonderful home with an incredible view over the city. This view can be enjoyed during dinner or relaxing on the terrace. The house has an ideal parking. The kitchen is well equipped. The neighborhood is safe and the house is located in a quiet area. Everything worked very well with Debbie. We will be back again!

I loved the classic Hollywood hills home . It felt like we were staying in the golden age of the 60/70s with a beautiful view overlooking the city . Highly recommended!!
5.0
We had a wonderful stay over the 4th of July, visiting Universal and Warner Brothers studios among other local landmarks. The location is convenient to so much and yet removed enough to allow some time for relaxing peace and quiet. Based on a recommendation from a friendly neighbor out walking his dog, we watched fireworks from the balcony/deck where we could see displays from all over the valley. The Universal Studios fireworks view was perfect. You can't go wrong staying here.

This home was very clean, had everything we could need and by far the best view. The curvy drive is well worth it.

My husband has a love for old movies, so we finally planned a trip to Hollywood. To complete the feel, we were looking for a place in the Hollywood Hills that would be reminiscent of the time period. And Wow! We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. It embodied the exact feel we were looking for. The pictures don’t do it justice! Once we stepped beyond the gate, we felt we stepped back into Old Hollywood. It felt secluded, yet close to everything. The views were spectacular….. our first morning having coffee, we had a buck walk past the kitchen window, down the hill. Our only regret of the trip is that we didn’t plan for more down time to enjoy the house more. Can’t wait to go back!!
5.0
The view is beyond spectacular. The French windows with light coming in from all directions. The beautiful tile.
This is such an unusual place in the best way and we are definitely going to come back in the future. In fact we can’t imagine staying any other place in Los Angeles in the future.
Communication with the owner Debbie was outstanding.
There is a reason it has gotten consistently high ratings. Because it deserves consistently high ratings.
Did I mention the spectacular view.. We never turned the TV on we were there because the view was enthralling!

What a beautiful experience. A lovely home in a gorgeous community with an amazing view! The owner left us a list of amazing restaurants. It was down the road from Universal Studios. We had a great vacation! I highly recommend!

We loved our stay! Debbie’s communication was outstanding! We appreciated all her helpful tips as well.
This property’s location could not be better. We were minutes from Hollywood, Universal Studios, and Warner bros. studios. We gained valuable time because our commutes to all locations were so short.
The view is what really stands out with this beautiful home. Panoramic views out to the mountain range and to the city below were spectacular. This location also offered a nice peaceful retreat at the end of our busy days.
We will definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is on the top of a very big hill and has amazing views of Hollywood. You can see the Hogwarts castle at universal from the deck! The property is spacious and our family of 5 fit comfortably around the dining table. Beds were comfortable and the house was really well equipped with everything you need for cooking. We only cooked breakfast, but you could certainly cook dinner at the house.
We picked this house due to it's proximity to universal studios and it worked out great.... 10 minutes drive door to door. Make sure you are comfortable driving on narrow, winding roads, and I would try to arrive the first night before dark, if possible, to orient yourself. The French bakery at the bottom of the hill is fantastic and they are so nice there. The house is also right next to Runyon canyon, which is beautiful for walking/running and really close to the Hollywood stars/Chinese theatre/etc. We really enjoyed our stay!

This was a great house and location for our trip. Perfectly comfortable for my family of 4, with fabulous views of LA and close to everything we wanted to see. Debbie was also great to work with - super helpful, and provided recommendations of where to eat, shop, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

We wanted to stay forever. There were no problems with this beautiful home. We enjoyed it so much. And the property owners were very pleasant to do business with.

Dinners and wine outside with the city views at night were awesome.
Thanks 🙏

Amazing Views in the Hollywood Hills
Our family LOVED our stay at Casa Colinas. It is the perfect location in the Hollywoods Hills - close to everything (Universal, Warner Bros, Burbank, Hollywood) and has amazing views of the valley. The house is just as described online, and even more charming and beautiful in person. Debbie was great to communicate with and gave us very detailed instructions. We have three older kids, and they absolutely adored the home and the property. It was the perfect fit for our family's stay in LA. Cannot recommend this home more!

Spectacular Villa & View
Took my wife, brother and sister-in-law to LA to see the studios for all of their first time, and we were all blown away by the accommodations. You can see from the pictures what views the villa yields of LA, and rest assured, it’s as spectacular by night as by day. The reality lives up to and exceeds the pictures. We all felt that working with Richard and Debbie was so smooth and easygoing, we very much hope to stay here again on our next visit. We were thrilled with the convenience, the layout and simplicity of indoor and outdoor functioning, and again, astonished by the views. We all very highly recommend you see it for yourself!

Beyond expectations. Beautiful spot, completely authentic. So close to everything of importance for a stay in LA, but also far enough away to not be bothered by the big city.

We loved staying at Casa Colinas for our son's graduation from USC! It is a lovely home with gorgeous views. We wanted to be near Hollywood for the activities we planned, and this was a great location. There were 4 women staying together, so I will say, having only one full bathroom and half bath can be a challenge, but we made it work!
Debbie was very wonderful to work with, and the home has everything you need for a vacation. One warning is that cabs and Ubers really struggle to locate the property, many lose their GPS signal coming up the hill. If you let them know you are at the intersection of Oak Point Drive and Sunnydip Trail, it helps a lot! We love the VRBO experience, and this one was very special for us.
