About this property
Serene Canyon Private Villa•Pool•HotTub•Sauna Retreat STR Permit Number:14614552
Welcome to Your Private Canyon View Escape in Pacifica’s
Perched at the end of a peaceful hilltop cul-de-sac, our gorgeously renovated Pacifica Poolside Oasis offers sweeping canyon views from both the pool deck and upper terrace—perfect for a serene coastal retreat just 23 minutes from SFO.
This thoughtfully designed villa is ideal for out-of-town family reunions, small team retreats, or intimate celebrations like elopements and milestone birthdays. With a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and plenty of space to gather and relax, it feels like your own private boutique hotel—just minutes from the beach and all that the Bay Area has to offer.
This is our family home and our neighborhood. We welcome respectful guests seeking connection, calm, and comfort—but please note: this is not a party house or large event venue. Kindly review our house rules carefully before booking.

• One large full bathroom
The home is equipped with strong mesh WiFi throughout, two smart TVs with live cable (including sports and news), a washer/dryer, and ample towels for your stay. If there’s something specific you need—like a particular channel or a high chair —just ask.
⸻

• Hot tub and barrel sauna
• Secure pool area with child-safe lock

• A $100 pet fee per pet

⸻
Personalized Hospitality
After booking, you’ll receive a short check-in form where we ask about your guest names and ages, pets, any special celebrations, arrival times, and little details like your preferred coffee and tea creamer. We want your stay to feel thoughtful, seamless, and welcoming.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica Lu
We are Jessica and Alan. Alan is a builder and Jessica is a shoe designer. Together we labor over the details that define quality construction, safe, smart design, and gorgeous enduring comfort.
Alan’s hosting journey began as a kid, helping his Mom make beds for their family-owned Bed and Breakfast. And Jessica's began when her Father's floral design business lured her into her passion for colors, textures, then later textiles and high functional 3D art.
As a family, our love of travel and recent job opportunities have taken us away from our home and on to new adventures, bringing things full circle.
Our appreciation for authentic connections has afforded us the chance to meet some incredible people by hosting guests in our home. Our daughter, along with our rescue pups Boyd, Mei Mei, and Tootsie have taught us so much about service, attentiveness, patience, and gratitude. We truly enjoy sharing our home and tending to the needs of our guests, and look forward to hosting you soon.

Why they chose this property
We absolutely love having friends and family over to our home.
Our pool is everyone's most favorite place to be. And when the rest of Pacifica is foggy, we feel just a bit warmer in our little haven in the canyon.
We also enjoy our deck off the living room. We appreciate being able to access it from our master bedroom.
Our home is the perfect place for our large family to be together. It's big, but it still feels cozy.

What makes this property unique
The wide-open floor plan of the kitchen, dining, and living rooms upstairs make it a really wonderful place for families to gather.
The views out back (and out front from the little orange chairs) are just stunning!
There are so many great hikes nearby, and the sunsets are like no other place we've ever lived.
And even though we're in our nice, quiet oasis, we are still just 30 min from San Francisco, where we have access to anything- shopping, food, museums, you name it.
So we can have all that when we want it, then we can retreat back to our home in the canyon after the hustle and bustle. And you can, too!
