A court at the house
A court at the house is rare, and we will not pretend we have more than we do. Two Los Angeles estates have a private court on the property. Three desert homes come with club or community court access. All five have a pool.

Private courts in Los Angeles, club access in the desert. Worth knowing the difference before you book.

The private courts
There are only two private courts in our homes, and they book early.
A lighted court on the property, which matters in a Valley summer. Pool and spa, sleeps ten.
A private court on the grounds and a pool, five bedrooms, sleeps ten.
Walk out of the house and play, with nobody booked ahead of you.
A short walk or drive, sometimes a sign-up sheet and sometimes a guest fee.
Courts are at their best from November through April. In summer, play early or after dark.
Ask us. Some courts can be set up for it.
Book direct
The same homes you find on Airbnb, booked straight with the team that looks after them.
Our own site has no booking platform service fee. Guest protection is included in the price you see, and occupancy tax is added on stays under 30 nights, as the city requires.
Every booking starts as a request. We read it, go over the simple house rules with you, and confirm within 24 hours. Your card is held, not charged, until we approve.
You deal with the people who clean, stock and repair the home, not a call center.
Call or text us at (323) 375-3664. Our reservations team answers 24 hours a day.
Many homes take a weekend, a week or a month. Monthly stays in Los Angeles start at 31 nights.
If you found the home on Airbnb, Vrbo or Google, it is the same home and the same team.
Good to know
We go over these with every guest before we confirm a booking. They are how we stay good neighbors.
Quiet hours
Outdoor spaces close at ten at night. These are homes on residential streets.
Family and friends welcome
Having people over is fine up to twice the home's guest limit. Give us a heads up. Anything larger needs our approval ahead of time.
No parties or events
A long family dinner is welcome. A party or a ticketed event is not.
Guest limit
Each home has a guest limit set by its permit and insurance, and we hold to it.
Monthly stays
In Los Angeles, a stay of 31 nights or longer is a monthly rental on a California Association of Realtors lease, signed through our licensed brokerage.
Check-in
Clear arrival instructions a few days before you come, and a person to call if anything is unclear.
Read our Good Neighbor Pledge.
Every stay
Ready the day you arrive, with a local team on call for the whole stay.
A professional clean and a final check before every stay.
Good sheets and towels, cookware, and the basics to make a first meal.
A coffee and tea station set up in every home.
Fast wifi, and a place to work in most homes.
Power, water, gas, trash and wifi are included. Nothing to put in your name.
If something breaks, a local vendor we know is on the way.

Two. The Sherman Oaks Tennis Estate has a lighted court on the property, and the Santa Monica Canyon Estate has a private court on the grounds. Those are the only two private courts we manage, and both are in Los Angeles.
The three desert homes use club or community courts rather than a court on the property. Modern Condo in Palm Springs, Sunrise Serenity in Rancho Mirage and Desert Falls in Palm Desert all include access as part of the community. It is a real amenity, it is just shared.
The Sherman Oaks court is lighted, which in summer matters because midday in the Valley is brutal. Check with us on the others before you plan an evening match.
Usually a few of each, and usually not in great shape. If you play seriously, bring your own racket. Balls are easy to pick up nearby.
At the Santa Monica estate yes, there is a resident pro who can be booked for an extra fee. Ask us when you book and we will make the introduction.
The Sherman Oaks court can be set up for pickleball. Say so in advance and we will have the net and lines ready.
Both LA estates do, and so do all three desert homes. In practice a tennis court and a pool is the combination people are actually looking for, and every home on this page has both.
In Los Angeles the courts are usable year round. In the desert, November through April is comfortable and June through September is only viable early in the morning or after dark.
