Home was extremely clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and seamless arrival/ departure. Our host was outstanding who promptly answered all our questions.

Great Quiet Getaway Near Ocean

This home is in a quiet neighborhood with great ocean views. We wanted a home a little outside of San Fransico to get away and relax and this was a great choice to stay when not out sightseeing. Plenty of room for family and located near woods & ocean. Communication with owner was great & very accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location

This house is as advertised - amazing ocean view and just steps away from the nature preserve and walking trails! Safe and quiet neighborhood away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Grocery stores and many restaurants are just a 5-10 minute drive away. Master bedroom, kitchen and family room are up on second floor and 3 guest bedrooms share a bathroom on the lower floor. The hot tub was clean, well maintained and easy to access.
