I’m already missing our fantastic trip to California last month, and wishing we were to the point of planning another – like NOW! So much fun was had, and a large part of why was Our Disneyland Rental House. Plenty of space for 19 people, lots for the kids AND adults to do, conveniences like washing machines and extra towels, plus a huge resort pool made this a truly magical vacation!
Now, Dea (the owner) has FANTASTIC photos of the house right here on the booking site – much better than my own photos! I wanted to really show it from my own personal experience, though, so am only using my own pics. Seriously, if you’re planning a Disney vacation, or just any Anahiem-area trip you will LOVE this home! Let’s start by looking at the bedrooms – there are EIGHT! Here’s the Cars room, with 5 twin mattresses, plenty of toys, it’s own TV and a little Mater play area. You can also follow the listing link to see available dates, and see the nightly rate for the dates you’re considering going.
Again, please excuse the mess because we were on VACATION, meaning we let the kids play more than clean sometimes! There’s also a Princess-themed room that are girls truly enjoyed, also with 5 twin mattresses….
Those are both upstairs, along with this master bedroom that hubby and I slept in. It wasn’t huge, but the bed was plenty and the closet was just what we needed. No TV in this one, which I didn’t mind in the least.
One of my sisters, being 19 and not married, was thrilled she got a room for herself – and it wasn’t all ‘kiddie’! (not that she’d mind, of course). No TV, but a really fun Hollywood theme for her!
The other ‘adult’ room upstairs is HUGE, with it’s own en-suite bathroom and open area with sofa. This was perfect for my adopted sis and her hubby, along with their two in playards/cribs.
There’s a hall bathroom upstairs, as well – pretty basic, and I will say the shower head was super low making it a bit ‘eh’, but completely fine overall with plenty of cabinet space, and a stool for the kiddos.
Here’s the view from inside the front door AND top of the stairs looking to the front door – so you get an idea of the layout a little, and see the nice open foyer.
Downstairs there’s 2 more bedrooms – this one does not have a bathroom en-suite….
….this one does.
There’s also a hall bathroom downstairs, but I didn’t get a picture – sorry! When you first walk in the front door, to the right is a media room that houses plenty of sofa space, a lounge chair PLUS a daybed (so could be used as a bedroom – just no ‘closing doors’). The video selection was excellent, plus games and gaming systems!
To the LEFT just inside the front door is the garage – which has been turned into an awesome game room with Foosball table, pool table, and couches.
Since it came out the day before our trip, we HAD to have an Age of Ultron family movie night! Luckily straight inside the front door is the giant family room, with a huge and VERY comfy sofa, table, and even more chairs with rolling ottomans! Lots of quality time was spent here – as well as working time!
The kitchen wasn’t enormous, but plenty big for a few of us to maneuver around cooking meals. The dining room table could fit the vast majority of us (we had 19, if you include the babies) and highchairs.
They also have a computer with internet (and wireless), as well as a printer. They make sure that the 2 linen closets are fully stocked with towels (downstairs) and linens (upstairs). Plenty for everyone!
And we had no problem doing laundry with the TWO sets of washer and dryers!
Now, how dare I mention a RESORT STYLE POOL without lots of pictures, right? I got a few when we weren’t using it….
…but you really can’t tell the size without people actually inside so….
The lazy river has plenty of room to float around in, and they have water shoes you can wear to protect your feet. There’s also LOTS of water toys and floaties! The floatie jacket/life vest type things you see our younger kids wearing in the pictures were ones WE brought, though, not provided by the house.
See, it’s HUGE! We spent many, many hours in there – even took a day off of Disneyland/Legoland so we could fit in plenty of pool time. The kids were on the slide constantly, and the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids! There’s also a nice hot tub to the side, which was great for evening relaxing.
I love that the pool area was safely fenced off, especially since we had SO MANY kids with us!
There’s a nice little table/seating area just outside the kitchen (fenced off from the pool, so no worries about the kids) and an adorable playhouse! I don’t know how I didn’t get pics of that – but go look at Dea’s on the site.
The neighborhood is very quiet, with nighttime ordinances, so don’t plan to go here and make lots of noise at night! We easily parked our 4 vehicles out front (including our Kia Sedona we got to try out!). We all loved the decorative touches, like the fabulous chandelier in the foyer that I wish I could find somewhere!
Dea, the house owner, was fabulous with responding to questions or concerns we had. She even set out the CUTEST welcoming gift for our family!
The kids are already asking to go back to this house on our next trip! The girls had plenty of room to do their homework while in their princess room.
We added our own ‘fun’ while we were there – creating these cute door markers for the bedroom doors! Yes, we’re a tad dorky, but we love it!
So here’s what you need to do now – go HERE and reserve your dates for this truly amazing house, then head to Get Away Today to set up your magical Disney (or Legoland, or Sea World – whatever!) vacation!

Thanks so much to Dea for the fantastic vacation we had – can’t wait to stay here again!
