Hi there,I’m hoping you might be able to help me cancel this order. Unfortunately, there was a recent death in my family, and I’ll need to fly out next week to attend the funeral, which means I’m no longer able to attend the event.I was really looking forward to it and didn’t anticipate needing to cancel, so I truly appreciate any flexibility you’re able to offer. I’ve attached the tickets here for reference.Thank you very much for your understanding.

This was one of the most fabulous properties we have been to! It was immaculate, spacious, and gifted with the little things you forget you need- plenty of cooking tools, paper towels, foil and parchment paper, toilet paper, dishwasher and laundry supplies- amazing! There were also suggestions of places to go, groceries close by, and it is near enough to the city if you want a big time out. Grand views and wonderful neighbors. Five stars out of five!

Our group of 6 couples had a wonderful 2 night stay this past weekend. We were delighted with the house, which is very spacious, beautifully maintained, and situated in this lovely little valley in Pacifica with great views from the living room and decks. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and well equipped. We enjoyed the very pretty sauna, hot tub and pool as well as playing Corn Hole. Jessica was a great host, always quick to respond to any questions. Check in and check our were very easy. Highly recommended!

perfect stay for small group of friends gathering
We stayed at this wonderful home with a small group of 10 friends for a post-wedding gathering, and it was perfect! The neighborhood is peaceful, clean, and truly beautiful, with a charming road view and even some glimpses of the sea, which made for a scenic and calming backdrop.
The house itself was immaculate, with clean and comfortable rooms that made everyone feel at home. The spacious living room was a highlight, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The dining area was especially impressive, with a long table and ample seating for our whole group—ideal for shared dinners, conversations, and late-night chats.
The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils and cooking equipment we needed, from pots and pans to more specific tools, making it easy to prepare meals and host dinners together.]
We truly had a fantastic reunion here, enjoying dinners, reminiscing, and catching up in such a warm, inviting space. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back for future gatherings. Highly recommended!

Terrific family gathering
Pacifica is a really fun, pretty, hidden gem in the Bay Area. Do not miss heading down to the great, old Italian bakery in town. Jessica's home was really great for our 3 generation gathering. Terrific deck and dining area. The neighborhood requires thoughtfulness and respect, but I get the impression that these days, rentals are just having to be more careful and responsible, so don't let the detail the owners put into being sure they know who's in their house deter you. We found ownership to be very friendly and concerned with our wellbeing. Great stay!
