Quiet and comfortable with a huge deck

Beauty and Peace
This property was such a relaxing and welcoming place to stay. the deck is sundrenched overlooking the water, the place is older but spotless, kitchen well supplied and beds comfortable. I recommend it. Also wholefoods and trader joes are not far away, and parking for a couple of cars was great. We will be back!

Quiet in convenient location
This was a delightful surprise to stay at this property. The location is very unique, tranquil, and quiet. It’s a great setting for a family gathering. The property has been nicely updated in some unique ways, and was very comfortable and cozy. The communication with the owner was quick and courteous. The back deck is a real treat and so is the fireplace! The layout works out well because it has basically two master suites with the living area in between which made for quiet bedroom spaces . The home is close to everything and only a short drive to some nicer attractions in the bay area. It’s a great launching pad for some family outings.
