What a beautiful home - LOVED IT!
This was our first house swap and it was an amazing experience. Our kids and ourselves loved the Coker family home. It is very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated with a fantastic outdoor space including a great pool. Thousand Oaks is a lovely safe place with easy driving access to day trips such as Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Malibu, Santa Barbara, L.A., outlets and Six Flags! We came home to a tidy home too! We would totally recommend a house swap with the Coker family.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Ours is a single story home located between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. It's about an hour drive to either place. Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, Hollywood, Malibu beaches, Santa Barbara Zoo, Getty Museum - all within an hour's drive.
We have a very large backyard with a pool, ping pong table, volleyball net, and lovely sitting area where we spend most of our time due to the fabulous weather year-round.
Our kitchen has been recently remodeled and is great for family and friends to gather.
Locally there is great shopping, hiking/biking trails, beaches, parks and museums.
We also have bikes for you to use and a car to swap.
We do not, however, have TV. You can watch videos on our DVD player, but we do not have cable for TV shows. Don't worry...you won't need it with all of the great weather and other great things to do!
We also have a very low-maintenance, friendly, harmless Golden Retriever. If you'd prefer not to watch her, then we can find a place for her to go.
We're interested in exchanges anywhere, anytime, however our first choice is a long-term (4 weeks or more) exchange to Europe. But, we're open to interesting offers.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is very quiet with mostly ranch style homes on large lots. It is close to shopping, great restaurants, entertainment, and easy freeway access. We are about and hour drive south to Hollywood/LA and about 45 min drive north to Santa Barbara, both of which have many outdoor attractions and entertainment options. The nearest beach is about a 40 min drive in Malibu where there is surfing, paddleboarding (we have 2 boards for your use), kayaking, swimming. There are great restaurants in Malibu, as well. We have 5 bikes for you to use. There is great mountain biking in the nearby Santa Monica Mountains (about 15 min drive) and an awesome bike path along the beach in Ventura (about a 30 min drive). There are several great golf courses nearby. Horseback riding is available at a few local ranches.
Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain are eachabout an hour away. The World renowned Getty Museum and/or Getty Villa in Malibu are each about 45 min away
