Bungalow Heaven was exactly that,amazing
Our family had the best stay ever. Our 3 year old screaming excitedly about the orange tree. Everyone slept comfortably. The pool was totally enjoyable each afternoon. We usually ate outside at the wonderful table under the lines. We often sat around the circle of chairs reading our books. It was truly a heavenly place to stay for a much needed family respite with our son just a mile away.

Pasadena Bungalow
We stayed a month in this beautiful older home that Pasadena is known for. Neighborhood is great and nice location. Unfortunatly the garbage disposal broke on day one and was never repaired. Because we had huge historic rain storms for a few days, we couldn't use the beautiful backyard because the cushioned chairs were water logged and never really dried out. Suprised the owner never contacted us about how the house weathered the storms. Overall, I think it was a great house, neigborhood, and location.

Great property
Ruth, I wanted to take a moment to emphasize just some of the features of your home that we took advantage of during our stay. For starters, the proximity to JPL was key to our decision to stay in Pasadena while visiting our son. It is also very close to the very first disc golf course in the world – Oak Grove – which I played 4 times. Having a private, non-shared home for the week was very important to us. We’d start by planning each day during breakfast before going out to experience a different activity in Los Angeles. We’d end our day in the pool in the late afternoon and debrief there before dinner. The pool was great. During our stay, the daytime temperature was between 92 and 100 degrees. We did not need to use the pool heater at all during our stay. From the pool, we marveled at the beautiful landscaping that surrounded the pool area. We could spot a few oranges that looked almost ready to pick in the tree! We used the grill to cook out a couple of evenings. It was perfect. Having the ability to do laundry during our stay meant having very little to do when we returned home! Inside the home décor preserved the beauty of the craftsman bungalow style in detail. One morning we used the oven to bake cookies for the big cookie contest at JPL (3rd place in the contest). We were so busy during our trip that we didn’t have a chance to watch television at all – which was really nice. And we were usually so tired that we were asleep by about 9:30 every night. Thank You!!!

Welcome to our Pasadena Bungalow! We love our charming Bungalow and use this home for family vacations and gatherings - as our family is spread out across the country. She was built in 1914 and I always marvel and think about the life this house has seen. My family history in Pasadena goes back generations. Our Pasadena Bungalow holds precious memories for our family and I hope that you too will be able to create wonderful moments here. I am so happy that we are able to share her character and charm. She truly is a gem!

Why they chose this property

Pasadena is a city in California, northeast of downtown Los Angeles. In the center, Old Pasadena is a shopping and dining district known for its Victorian and art deco buildings. This beautiful city is famous for hosting the annual New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl. Pasadena has so much to offer; great restaurants, shopping, museums, and The Pasadena Playhouse stages acclaimed dramas and musicals. Pasadena is centrally located for all Southern California landmarks, theme parks, beaches etc.

What makes this property unique

You will absolutely fall in love with her charm. From her sweet, inviting front porch with views of this picturesque tree lined neighborhood, to all her 1914 built in character. The loft upstairs is one of my favorite areas with 2 balconies featuring mountain views and it's a perfect little quiet cozy get away. The master bedroom has a romantic view of the beautiful backyard and pool area, and is even more spectacular when lit up at night.
