This is a truly beautiful house. My son, a professional chef, was getting married and we rented this property for several days so that he and I could prep a 7-course meal for the eve of his wedding (in a different location), and to house some of our friends/chosen-family who were driving to the bay area from a distance. We were delighted to find the kitchen very well equipped, with serious appliances, granite counters with lots of work space, and a deep, ultra-utilitarian sink. I am an artisan baker and was happy to find the gas stove worked well for my breads. When we are choosing vacation houses to rent, we always check out the kitchen first, and this one did not disappoint. In addition to providing the equipment we needed, it was a very pleasant space to work in.

The pictures truly do not do the house justice--the upstairs master bedroom, where we awoke to a stunning view of the bay, was magnificent. The downstairs was open & airy and light-filled. There was both a formal dining area and a large square table (that comfortably sat 8 in an excellent configuration) off the kitchen area. The deck was lovely, although it was a little too cold for us to do much there (except run out to the hot tub and back) at the particular time we were there. It is in a fine location, has a decent stereo system, several fireplaces, lots of towels--the details that can matter.

We encountered one technical problem that could have been a disaster--the water heater stopped working--but Stacey immediately did what had to be done (replaced it!). She was helpful and accommodating, but not intrusive. All in all, we were delighted with our stay and would happily return.
