For the past several years we've stayed in Rolling Hills with
www.sjsvillas.com and loved both the home and the great rate! They are open all but one week in March. You should check them out.
Meanwhile, I feel you pain. This home search is a lot of work! We changed our dates to accommodate our new SIL so now have to find another home. I'll admit, we've been spoiled: 6 bed, 4 bath, lake view for under $1,000 total. That's hard to match. There are some great deals out there, but sorting through them sure takes time.
I wish there was a site where you could select neighborhoods, size of home (5 or 6 bedrooms) necessities ie: pool, laundry, at least one king bed & 2 queen, at least 3 baths, etc. your dates (we're looking for 1/15 to 1/22 or 23), click the mouse and the offers would come to you.
I'm using VRBO, Home Away, Bidvilla, Villarentors and others, but still no decision, so I'm open to all offers and tips. Thanks.
