Stress reducing vacation
Between the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in and communicative host this is already an excellent rental. All the snacks, the coffee bar, the travel toiletries, etc we're easy account and beyond. We loved using the kayaks. Host was very communicative. Pictures are exactly what you get. We had the most relaxing time. Highly recommend.

Amazing House and views- Highly recommend!!
House checked every box on our list (and we’re pretty picky) and then some. Incredible views, awesome amenities- from the coffee bar with espresso, Keurig etc and breakfast goodies, to the snack basket with sweet and savory, to kitchen condiments, and even toiletries! Every kitchen gadget you could want, ice maker and filtered water. Easy to get to San Francisco and surrounding area. Highly recommend! Would absolutely stay here again.
