  We had a long stay (one month) at this property. The location is great - close to supermarkets and restaurants, many walking distance. There were some very good restaurants in Laurel Street and many different cuisine choices. The house had plenty of space, which worked well for us because we were 3 families all together, flying from different parts of the world. There are 3 sitting areas, a pool in the back (which was great for barbecues), and plenty of parking. Eileen was easily reached and would come over right away when something needs to be fixed. It would be nicer though, if there was another toilet and bath. Our family had a great stay and would rent the property again, if we want to stay in the same area.

  My husband and I and our 3 kids stayed here for a week and enjoyed ourselves very much. This is a very large home, with a basement level that has 2 bedrooms with queen beds in them, a full bathroom, and a daybed in a little corner of a sitting area. Off the basement is a garage with washer-dryer, and a walk through to the pool. Upstairs is the main house with a sitting room, a dining room, a family room, a kitchen, a bedroom with daybed off the kitchen, then a hallway with a master bedroom (queen bed), a full bathroom with lovely tiled oversize shower, and a bedroom with bunk beds and a crib. The back yard has steps down from the kitchen, a pool, chairs and tables, a shed with a hot tub, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit. The pros: - lots of space! - very clean and well organized, with a kitchen stocked with all utensils, plates, etc, and lots of beach towels, linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, TP, paper towels, cleaning supplies, napkins, etc. - lovely modern kitchen - lovely, well-decorated upstairs portion of the house - some games and puzzles for kids are stocked - big pool and hottub - very close to freeway, walk to Trader Joes and Lucky supermarket - would be a great place to have a fairly large gathering Cons: - basement bathroom is in need of work; the bottom of the bathtub in the basement has been roughly repaired with cement of some kind. We chose not to use this bathtub, just the toilet, in the basement. The ceiling panel in the bathroom in the basement is pulling away somewhat. The bedrooms in the basement are just fine, however. Our kids slept great there. Note: - One parent should plan on sleeping in the basement if you plan to have younger kids sleep down there, as the master is totally out of earshot of the basement. Or bring a monitor. Overall, we had a great experience and would stay again! Eileen was very easy to work with and the house is just great. You won't regret staying here!!

  Very spacious, well maintained, convenient location. Excellent kitchen and common areas. The pics don't do it full service. Owner was very responsive and kind. There's a fun little park walking distance away which was a nice additional perk. All in all, good experience - would definitely rent there again.

  We had our daughters sweet 16 birthday party.The weather was nice and the house is perfect for entertaining. Plenty of room upstairs and downstairs. The owner is very nice. We would recommend it to friends and relatives. We will be back to stay before the summer is over.

  We had a great time at the San Carlos Classic! With 10 people in the house we all felt like we had room to spread out and play around. We had lots of cars coming and going and the house was in a very convenient location. The only draw-back is that there are only 2 showers, so we had to time the early morning showers well. But overall the house is beautiful and the amenities are great! I definitely recommend it for large parties or families.

  I and 15 college athletes competed at Stanford the first weekend of march. The renter allowed us to check in early Friday and return after competition Sunday to wash up. We used the hot tube, BBQ, and bonfire pit. There was plenty of room including beds and couches. The kitchen was modern and stocked. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. All in all it was an excellent experience. Highly recommended

  We spent two weeks here and the house is perfect. We cooked in a fabulous kitchen, had a dinner party, built a great fire in the large fireplace in the den, played Sardines all over the huge house and had a great time. The owners are fantastic.

  This house was by far, the best VRBO experience...The pictures do it no justice..The Kitchen was AWESOME..Owner was a pleasure to deal with..Bed's and linens are top notch..SLEPT GREAT..It was too cold to use pool, but it sure looked inviting. We are looking forward to booking up this house again in the near future. Thank you for a great weekend.

  We stayed for 8 days and the house was wonderful. The kitchen is renovated and has great space and appliances. The large rooms are spacious and have plenty of room for everyone. The location is perfect with walking distance to the park, grocery and restaurants. The bedrooms are a little small, but work well especially for a family. We did not use the pool as it was a bit cool in October, but it is large and would be very nice to use when warm. The house has good access to the highway and also to the local train station. It is an excellent house and we had a very nice stay.
