Location: Private Homes, San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (Southwest of San Francisco)

Accommodations:  House, 5 Bedrooms + Loft + Office, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-16)

Offering beautiful views of the ocean, beach, and hills, this home is surrounded by towering trees and open space, all just 18 minutes from downtown San Francisco. The perfect combination of city and country, this non-smoking gem is tucked away on a wooded hillside, set high on a large lot. An oceanfront beach park is a 5 minute walk away, through this quiet, semi-rural neighborhood. You will see deer, birds, and other wildlife, while just minutes from San Francisco and many other Bay Area destinations.

The home is a large, spectacular, and modern seven-level, twelve-room, three-bath design, with many lofts, bonus rooms, hideaways, and decks, spread out over 4000 square feet. The innovative design features over 50 windows, glass doors, and large skylights; soaring open-beam ceilings to 20 feet high; two spiral staircases; and ample use of wood throughout. Four decks (including a rooftop patio) and a "jacuzzi" tub. Views of the ocean, beach, forest, and hills surround the home -- through every window and from every deck.

All telephones have unlimited long distance (within the United States); wireless cable internet service available throughout the house. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped; laundry facilities are conveniently located in the center of the house. A guest kitchen is located in the North Wing for your convenience.

The house is listed as "five-bedroom," but the unusual layout actually includes nine potential sleeping areas: two "normal" bedrooms, a very large master bedroom suite; one large mostly-enclosed "mezzanine" style bedroom; two sleeping lofts; an office; a family room; and a small children's playroom.

The home is set well back from the quiet, dead-end street, at the top of a 120-foot curved driveway. There is ample parking right on the property.

  • "An Incredible Pacific Coast View" was enjoyed from this sprawling contemporary as we gathered to attend a family wedding in SanFrancisco! The layout worked well as we all enjoyed together time & private time too!!!

  • Such a beautiful house! Warm feeling, gorgeous views, perfect location, quiet setting, great fun for the kids (lots of "extra" little rooms, lofts, and passageways). Clean and very well equipped (dining/kitchen supplies, linens, etc.). The deer in the back yard are a special treat. The guest kitchen is especially useful to us, since we have a large extended family. We honestly couldn't ask for anything more, or better, in a vacation home. One of a kind!

  • Perfect house, perfect location! We've stayed here one week every year since 2004, and we enjoy it more every time. Beautiful throughout: elegant, clean, new, great design, convenient, warm, and accommodating. The views are both lovely and peaceful. There are fourteen people in our extended family, and there's plenty of room for privacy for everyone. There are also two large gathering areas, for the whole group to be together. Chris provides very attentive service as well. Thanks for another wonderful week for our family...we'll be back next year!

  • This was the first time I planned a vacation home rental, but I am so happy I did. This beautiful, elegant house was so comfertable, we fell in love with it and felt right at home. The view of the beach is breathtaking, and was such a treat to look out at. Spacious bedrooms were gorgeous, and so was the kitchen! Quiet neighborhood was nice, we all slept very well. I enjoyed this house, and would love to return again.

  • This beautiful house was everything that was advertised and more. We started relaxing the minute we walked in the door. Very comfortable with all the amenities necessary for a wonderful vacation. Beautiful ocean and beach views, sunsets, and deer in the back yard every evening! The kids loved the beach and the swimming--wish we could have moved in...

  • The place was a real gem. The two kitchens made it very easy to cook for a large crowd and it very spacious. It is also a great spot for children since there are so many little nooks to explore. I showed up at night and when I woke up I was surprised to find that I could see the ocean clearly from my bedroom window. Breathtaking. The only complaint is that the lighting is complicated... It is an "intelligent" system that is not well labeled and very non-intuitive.

  • Great home in a great city. Ideal for a group of friends or a large family. Large open spaces for socializing (including two porches that overlook the beach). Bedrooms are separated from the social areas. Short walking distance to food, bars, and grocery. Neighborhood has a quiet, rural feel. Highlight? We enjoyed watching three deer dine in the neighbor’s garden.

  • This was our third time here in four years. The house is continually upgraded (beautiful new wood floors, bedroom shutters, even better equipped than before, and more), and we enjoyed it more than ever! Same excellent views, beautiful design, and great service. The house is also very comfortable, and we always feel right at home in it. It's our family's favorite vacation house we've ever stayed in. Thank you again Chris!

  • Eleven of us (three couples -- the rest singles) from all across the country got together for a long weekend to celebrate a 40th birthday. This house was perfect. It allowed everyone to hang together or find a quiet place to be alone -- lots of secret passages and nooks and crannies. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking meals for a large group. The large dining area comfortably accommodated all of us. The guest kitchen provided a great second refridgerator to stock enough food and drink for so many people. Chris is fabulous. He was helpful to us both in answering questions before our event and when giving us the initial tour of the place. Pictures and words cannot do this home justice...and we did feel right at home. Despite rain on one day, we still had a blast and already talk about having an annual get together here.

  • Finding a place for twelve people for a weekend is easy, until you have mostly non-couple people. When Chris got back to me promptly and was willing and even eager to help me figure out how to fit eleven separate sleeping surfaces into the layout, I knew I was looking at the right place for our bay area writers retreat. He was unbelievably helpful before, during, and after our stay. The property itself is eclectic, eccentric, and very accommodating. The "small play room" was a hit with several attendees, with two choosing to sleep in that room (on different nights, mind you--it's really too small for two people to sleep). The unexpected doors and pathways, the view of the beach and the stars from the living room and master bedroom, the copious electric outlets, and the two kitchens made for excellent writing, cooking, and relaxing territory for our writers group. The two things that would have made our stay better were well beyond Chris's control--he can't make the walk to the beach downhill both ways, and he couldn't get us all out of work for another week to stay around and eat and write. We're definitely looking forward to coming back for next year's retreat.
