“The 300-foot palm-lined private driveway immediately signals this property's exclusivity, creating a resort-like arrival that few Los Angeles rentals can match. Unlike most luxury villas that offer either city or ocean views, Bel-Air Oasis commands the rare trifecta of city, ocean and canyon vistas from its elevated Bel Air position, a combination that becomes genuinely spectacular from the rooftop deck. The custom 10-car garage reveals the property's serious attention to luxury logistics, addressing one of LA's persistent challenges whilst most comparable rentals offer basic parking solutions. Most tellingly, the 7,200 square feet feel carefully composed rather than simply large, with rich wooden accents and artful lighting creating sophisticated spaces that work equally well for intimate family time and grand entertaining.”
“The infinity pool positioning captures one of Hollywood's most dramatic panoramic views, stretching across the basin in a way that most properties at this elevation cannot match. Unlike many large rental villas that feel like converted residential homes, Hollywood Love was clearly conceived for entertaining with its purposeful flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The wellness facilities are unusually comprehensive for a private villa, with both sauna and steam room alongside a proper gym rather than just token exercise equipment. Most significantly, the three-level layout provides genuine privacy within the property whilst the Hollywood Hills West location offers exclusivity without the isolation that affects properties higher in the canyon.”
“The direct beach access from a raised terrace eliminates the usual compromises of beachfront properties — no road crossings, no shared pathways, just private stairs leading straight to the sand. Unlike most oceanfront rentals that prioritise views over functionality, this property provides surfboards and wetsuits as standard equipment, recognising that guests want to engage with the ocean rather than simply observe it. The separate casita creates a genuine family compound feel, offering space for different generations or groups to gather separately whilst maintaining connection to the main villa. Most La Jolla vacation rentals sit back from the water — this property's elevated beachfront position delivers both immediate ocean access and the elevated perspective needed to fully appreciate the Pacific's endless horizon.”
Why United States
What makes United States worth choosing
California's Coastal Grandeur
Southern California's coastline stretches from Malibu through Laguna Beach to San Diego, delivering a microclimate that keeps temperatures mild year-round. Luxury villas here sit within reach of celebrated dining in Los Angeles, wine tasting in Santa Barbara County and surf culture along the Pacific Coast Highway. The landscape shifts dramatically within a short drive, from ocean bluffs to mountain canyons.
Culinary Depth and Diversity
The United States has become a global culinary destination in its own right. In California alone, travellers move between Michelin-starred restaurants in San Francisco and farm-to-table kitchens in Napa Valley within a single day. Many luxury villas come equipped with professional-grade kitchens, and private chef services allow guests to enjoy regional produce without leaving the property.
Scale and Privacy Combined
Few countries match the sheer variety of private villa settings available across the United States. Properties range from gated hillside compounds with panoramic canyon views to beachfront homes with direct sand access. This scale means guests can find genuine seclusion even in well-known destinations, a quality that sets American villa holidays apart from resort-dominated alternatives.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about United States
When is the best time to visit United States for a luxury villa holiday?
Peak season for Southern California runs from June to September, when coastal temperatures sit comfortably between 24°C and 30°C and rainfall is virtually nonexistent. The shoulder months of April, May and October bring lower rates and fewer crowds while still providing warm, clear days. Winter months suit travellers heading to the desert regions around Palm Springs, where daytime highs reach a pleasant 22°C.
What types of luxury properties are available in United States?
TheChosenStay curates a hand-picked selection of villas across the United States, focusing on architecturally distinctive homes with strong connections to their surroundings. Expect contemporary Californian designs with floor-to-ceiling glass, open-plan living spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Each property meets rigorous standards for privacy, comfort and local character.
How much does a luxury villa in United States cost per week?
Weekly rates for luxury villas in the United States currently range from $6,500 to $15,500 through TheChosenStay. Peak summer months and major holiday periods such as Thanksgiving and Christmas command the highest prices. Booking during shoulder season, particularly in spring or early autumn, can secure the same calibre of property at a considerably lower rate.
What amenities do luxury properties in United States typically include?
Private swimming pools, hot tubs and expansive outdoor terraces are standard across most properties in the collection. Many villas feature home cinemas, fully equipped gyms and professional kitchens suited to private chef services. Housekeeping, concierge arrangements and pre-arrival grocery stocking are commonly available, with some properties also providing direct beach access or gated entry for additional privacy.
How many guests can luxury villas in United States accommodate?
Villas in our collection typically sleep between 6 and 14 guests, making them well suited to both family holidays and group celebrations. Smaller properties with two or three bedrooms work beautifully for couples seeking space beyond a hotel suite. Larger estates can accommodate extended families or milestone gatherings with multiple en-suite bedrooms spread across separate wings or guest houses.
How do you get to United States?
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves as the primary gateway for Southern California, with direct flights from most major global hubs. Transfer times vary by villa location: Malibu sits roughly 40 minutes from LAX, while Palm Springs requires around two hours by car or a short connecting flight to Palm Springs International. San Diego International Airport provides an alternative entry point for properties along the southern coast.
Which areas of United States are best for a luxury villa stay?
Southern California remains one of the country's premier villa destinations, with Malibu, the Hollywood Hills and Palm Springs each carrying a distinct appeal. Beyond our current collection, the Hamptons on Long Island attract East Coast luxury travellers each summer, while Aspen and Jackson Hole draw those seeking mountain grandeur. Hawaii's Big Island and Maui cater to travellers wanting tropical seclusion, and Miami's Design District and Key Biscayne deliver a vibrant subtropical alternative.
Is United States suitable for families, couples or groups?
The United States suits every configuration of traveller remarkably well. Families benefit from villa layouts with multiple living areas, private pools and proximity to attractions such as national parks and theme parks. Couples find romance along the Californian coast or in wine country, while groups travelling together appreciate the generous entertaining spaces and concierge services that make milestone celebrations effortless.
How far in advance should you book a luxury villa in United States?
For peak periods, particularly July, August and the Christmas to New Year window, booking six to nine months ahead gives the best chance of securing a preferred property. Shoulder season dates in spring and autumn allow more flexibility, with three to four months' notice usually sufficient. The most distinctive properties in sought-after locations such as Malibu and the Hollywood Hills fill quickly regardless of season.
