I rented this beautiful home for my brother who was coming into town with his family (children ages 15 and 12) for a conference at Stanford. I chose it because it is near the beach and San Francisco, and not too far from where I live (Palo Alto). It is a spacious, beautifully appointed home with a full kitchen, coffee station and supplies. It has a backyard for the kids and is only a 1 mile walk to the beach. The whole family was able to walk to a cute railroad car coffee shop and groceries on the corner, and had plenty of restaurants to choose from, including my favorite place for lunch and people watching, Soul Grind. Loved that this rental was an easy place to reach both Google and Apple campuses (about 40 min away), and still have a peaceful respite on the coast after work. We all were able to spend some time in San Francisco, too, as it was an easy 15 minute drive. Next time we will make sure to see Half Moon Bay, as well. It is a lovely house- super clean and had everything we needed.
