Marlene and Marty have an amazing, dreamy property! We had the best time playing Pickleball with them until midnight, BBQing, and enjoying movies in the home theatre (it was awesome)! Chilling by the pond and munching on the juiciest oranges right from their trees was basically our everyday morning routine. The air’s filled with this sweet scent of citrus blossoms and the bird chirping created such a happy vibe! A huge shoutout to Matt (their son-in-law) and Zandra (their lovely daughter) for sharing their delicious honey products with us as a farewell treat. I don't think we can go back to store bought honey ever again!! We went on day trips exploring Sequoia (35 mins) and Yosemite (an hour+ drive away). If you’re thinking about visiting this part of California, you honestly couldn’t pick a better spot! We look forward to visiting them again, soon! Cheers! Ximei, Tejas, Parag and Kaps.

Marlene and Marty’s home is a beautiful oasis. The photos on their listing are beautiful but the in-person experience is STUNNING!! Their home, also known as “Lucky Dog Ranch” was our first exchange on PLU, all we can say is WOW!!!!! The outdoor areas are beautiful and quiet with a variety of plants, trees that are surrounded by citrus ranches. The interior of their home will leave you speechless. It is extremely clean and modern in a country setting. The views and amenities are amazing and wait till you see the theater in the basement. We spent a week visiting the area, including Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks. We also spent an evening exploring the small town of Exeter (3 miles away). Exeter has beautiful murals and several eateries and breweries with a small town charm. The parks were absolutely amazing but we do regret that we didn’t allow more time at their home and outdoor area (It’s a park in itself!). If you enjoy walks, and country quiet, this is your place. A fully equipped and professionally designed pickle ball court with lights is an added experience. The pool and outdoor BBQ areas are first class and all with amazing views. It was beautiful to watch Canadian geese fly in and out of the pond which the home overlooks with floor to ceiling windows. If this stay is a sample of our future experiences with PLU, we can’t wait! Thank you Marlene and Marty for your amazing communication and hospitality (5 Star)!

Marlene and Marty were wonderful engaging guests. We always leave our home pristine for visitors but we sincerely believe it was even cleaner upon our return. They took full advantage of all our amenities and the wonderful area which makes us happy. They are an amazing couple! Thank you both for allowing us to host you! Your friends David & Mindy

Meeting and socializing with Ximei, Tejas, Kapil and Paraq has been a genuine pleasure that we both (Marty and I) hope will happen again sometime in the future. Our home was treated with the utmost respect and left to us in better shape than it was when they arrived! We had a couple of nights where we all played pickleball, complete with snacks and drinks, just enjoying each other’s company that was super fun and exciting. Ximei and friends are extremely respectful and caring, we feel like we made some amazing new friends 🥰

David and Mindy’s home is in the perfect location on the California Central Coast, we walked to local stores, coffee shops and restaurants. Of course, the Beach and all the different water activities are amazing. The interior is beautiful, clean and feels inviting and cozy; everything you need is there; had pizza night using the pizza oven, loved playing shuffleboard, sitting in the hot tub after a day at the beach. The surrounding area is a haven for wine lovers some of the most beautiful wine country try we have seen. We could easily have spent several more days and still have things to see and do. The coastal towns both to the south and the north has so much to offer. This was our first PLU experience, communicating with David and Mindy has been a genuine pleasure, now we are keen on having more PLU experiences. Thank you David and Mindy, we hope to repeat this swap with you again in the future❣️

Communicating with David and Mindy regularly during our exchange has been a genuine pleasure. They showed the utmost respect for us and our home. Upon return we could not tell anyone had been in our home, it was left neat and clean. Our kitties had been given some extra attention too. I am sure we could not have had a better first time exchange experience. Thank you so much to you both ☺️
