Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This vacation rental was PERFECT for our Disneyland adventure. This was our first of many family (4 generations!) trips to Disneyland and your condo was icing on the cake. Having a kitchen, a small yard, and the ability to walk directly to the park without dealing with strollers being put into the trams was priceless. But it also helped that you had a perfect set up for the 5 kids. Thank you also for the very thoughtful gifts for the children. What a treat!

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay here. We wanted something more roomy than a hotel with the convenience of being within walking distance to the park. Storybook Villa provided us with that, and more! Thank you for fostering fond memories and a truly magical Disneyland experience. We hope to come and stay again. Our boy’s only complaint the entire week we were here to visit Disneyland was that we didn’t spend enough time relaxing at the condo as they would have liked! Maybe next time we’ll do fewer days at the park and more time enjoying the villa. Perfect for what we had in mind this trip.
Thank you very much!

Josh, Mindie, and Family- Thanks for sharing your home with us. We loved being so close to Disneyland and enjoyed the walk each day. So much better than staying in a hotel. On our first night here our son Nathan proposed to his girlfriend Elizabeth on the new Little Mermaid Ariel’s Undersea Adventure Ride after taking her out to Ariel’s Grotto for supper. The start of their lifelong commitment to each other started here and we were able to celebrate the event back in your home!! We had a truly amazing vacation. May God bless you and your family as you continue to share your home away from home with others. As a token of our thanks we bought a new game for your collection – the Original I.Q.

Thank you for creating such a lovely vacation home. The kids were delighted with the toys & enjoyed watching the “Robots” dvd (I think more than 5 times!). We made use of the beach towels when we drove down to the “baby beach” in Dana Point. It was great to have a kitchen to cook in. My sis-in-laws family who was traveling with us only likes to eat home-cooked meals, so it was important to have a functional kitchen. You thought of everything to accomodate us. On a personal note, I am very impressed with the organization of info binders you put together. Awesome job! Thanks again.

Overall we were very pleased with the attention to detail you have when it comes to things people will need on holiday, and felt very much at home. The families were discussing our trip and both agreed that when we go back to the U.S we will definitely be staying at the Storybook Villa – Fingers crossed see you again soon.

Your home is a wonderful oasis from the hustle and bustle of Disneyland. We drove all day long from Northern California with 3 young children asking "Are we there yet?" It sure was nice to off-load at a well kept and highly organized vacation home. You really have all bases covered from helpful reminders to the personal touch of providing childrens' gifts. The location is FANTASTIC and it provided me the opportunity to focus on fun instead of logistics. This was a FAMILY VACATION to remember. A great way to celebrate being "American" before I go back to Afghanistan for another deployment. May God Bless your family for all you have provided for us and all the families yet to come.

We had a wonderful time and it is so close to Disneyland, you can even see the fireworks from here. It has everything someone looks forward to in a home away from home. Everything was well thought of and very neat and clean. We will refer our friends to this place and will definitely look for it for our next visit. Thanks a lot for the thoughtful gift… Something to remember for years to come about her first trip to Disney!!! Great place… Khushi, Vahini, Vikranth. El Dorado Hills, CA

Date of Stay March 10, 2011
Josh & Mindie: Thanks for the use of your condo for the week! This place is in a great location, well equipped, & has lots of extra space to spread out over the week! We walked to the tram most days & it was nice not to have to park at Disney. Did the breakfast at Arriel’s Grotto, our 4 year old loved it (& the food was actually okay too)! Also Whitewater snacks in the Grand Californian has a good breakfast. We took your advice & went to Irvine Park. We had a great time there. (The market on the way, across from the college, has the BEST lemon squares ever!) Pony rides + bike rentals = fun! I hope people take care of your place. The extras (laundry detergent, bounce sheets, lots of paper towels/toilet paper) did not go unnoticed. It was like we were staying at a friend’s place. Hope to visit again one day!

Josh & Mindie, Thank you so much for the use of your condo for our vacation. This was so much nicer than staying in a hotel. So much room and very nice furniture. Very well taken care of. We brought our daughter and her friend. Her friend has never been to Disneyland so this experience was wonderful for her. We will definitely keep your place in mind for our next trip to California. PS. Thank you for the gift cards for the girls that was a nice thing to do for them, they were excited. Thank you again. Kent, Lynette, Karlee & Caylie Gresham, OR

What a wonderful townhome. It has it all….welcoming, fully equipped,clean,comfy beds, and most of all 5 mins. from the Disneyland tram. The owners were great. It all made fora hassle free vacation. We’ll be back next year and the year after.

Owner Response: Terry & Elizebeth- We are always so happy to hear from our guests that they had a great stay. Even more encouraging is to hear you will be back year after year! We would love to have you again and again (be sure to book early so its a sure thing!). We try hard to make sure all the major things on our guest’s checklist are there to make it a “hassle free” vacation. Yeah! Looking forward to hearing from you again, Josh & Mindie ~Storybook Villa

This place is fantastic. If it is available, you should book it for your vacation at Disney. The booking process is great, with a lodgix reservation system that allows you to pay with credit card (without an extra 3.5% fee). in other words, the owners are picking up those extra fees for you.

We arrived at 3pm, tired and hungry from our travels. the owners had programmed the keyless entry with a personal code so we didn’t have to worry about keys for the week! we stepped into a warm and inviting living room with lots of personal touches (mickey paraphernalia, travel books, candles 🙂 )… the kitchen is very well stocked. it was nice to leave our infant travel seat at home as there is a full sized highchair for use. loved the new gas stove, full sized refrigerator, and extra kids stuff in the drawers.

The bedrooms are lovely also. comfy beds with nice bedding (no yukky hotel ‘coverlets’). two playpens available, and a third bedroom with bunks so the kids had their own room. the owners had even left unwrapped, brand new toys for the kids’ use. there was a FULL bottle of laundry soap, fabric softener, lots of paper towels and toilet paper (not the norm for a private rental).
we have booked with vrbo/homeaway every year for the past five years. this place far surpasses any other rental we’ve encountered. thanks Josh and Mindie for letting us use your home for the week!

ps – there’s even a double stroller there, it was very nice not to have to pack ours!
pps – the walk to the disney trams is VERY Manageable. i would say less than 5 minutes even. GREAT location!!!!

Our whole family thanks you for the wonderful stay we experienced in your home ( except for our cars flat tire) – no fault of yours — but it was nice that we really didnt need to use it till a tire shop opened because the condo is so close to disney and we were able to walk , the disney decore was a plus — we did get a bit lost looking for the play area and dumpster but finally found it with some help from a neighbor outside … The kids Thank you greatly for the little gifts – they were very much in love as they entered saying ” Wow , this is way nice ” I have already reccomended it to almost everyone I have spoke to if they are to travel to disney with family …. We hope to travel again in the future to disney and would love to come back to your home again …..
thank you again

We had a great time visiting Disneyland and S. California while using your condo as our home base. We felt very welcome. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 kids, we really appreciated the advice and recommendations in the green notebook and the little instruction pages all around the house. The beds were comfy and the community hot tub was a great place to relax.
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the use of your condo! The little touches did not go unnoticed and were appreciated. With 4 kids under 9 the condo was perfect and a perfect location too! We all had a wonderful stay and look forward to coming again.

PS – after reading other reviews, I couldn’t agree more with all of them! I could go on and on about all of our ‘likes’ of the condo, but they’ve all been said. Thanks again for your hard work in providing such a fabulous vacation destination!
