This is a beautifully renovated house. Extremely clean and the beds and pillows where super comfortable. The back yard is a 100% a plus, Fig trees, oranges, limes, lemons and to our surprise a exterior bath and shower. This was really a hit for us and will go back when in the area for business.

Simon, please come back again anytime we’re so happy you enjoyed the house and the backyard. We put a lot of love into all the plants and trees. We’re also happy you enjoyed the outdoor tub and the outdoor shower makes it very special when it’s hot., And even when it’s raining, take care, Joanie.
This is a peaceful quiet property, perfect for resting after medical procedures. The host, Joanie, is very accommodating and has excellent communication.
The house was lovely and clean. It was in the perfect location for us to get back and forth to the hospital and not far away from the airport. The host went out of her way to make us feel welcome and to offer any assistance we needed during our stay. We will definitely book again if we need to return to the area.

Kelley- thank you for your nice review and I’m hoping our House facilitated your healing. Please come back again. You were very respectful and kind guests. Joanie.
Came up to stay while helping family members with a move in the area. The house was a welcome retreat, and had everything I needed. The garden was especially nice, and very peaceful in the mornings and evenings. Will stay here again.

Jasa, You and your family were lovely guests. Please come back again. Joanie
We had a great stay! Location was close to Stanford, which was important to us. Well kept, wonderful yard, and communication with Joanie was excellent. I would recommend.
We came into town for a Stanford graduation, and this was a perfect place to gather in between our various graduation events. The home was clean and just like it looks in the pictures. I highly recommend this home!

Karen and David were wonderful guests. They were so amiable and easy to communicate with. They left the house spotless. Much appreciated. We would welcome them back anytime!
I think this is my third or fourth stay in this lovely house. Joanie is great. Super responsive and very helpful. The house is comfortable and with perfect weather we enjoyed the backyard even more. Thank you again for a great stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay in early August of 2023, and hope to come back again.
The location was perfect for our stay, located in the midst of many relatives.
The yard is beautiful and our dogs were very comfortable in it.
The house is clean, well maintained, and well furnished.
This location has become our 'home base' for visits with my wife's family. It's a great location, in a quiet neighborhood. Our dogs are very happy playing in the yard. We really appreciated the upgraded beds; they are super comfortable. We look forward to our next visit.

This was Greg and family’s second time staying at our VRBO. He has been a courteous and responsible guest with well behaved dogs. We welcome him back anytime.
My wife and I stayed here for 6 weeks while our youngest was undergoing treatment at Stanford. The house was ideal for that as it is under 10 minutes to the Middlefield road clinics. The house has been extensively updated with and eye towards quality. You can tell that Joanie actually updated it to use herself and then just rents it when she is at her other place. The house is located in North Fair Oaks which is bustling, busy, friendly and safe. It was a great stay for us and I would definitely stay again.

Steve and his family were wonderful guests. Easy to communicate with and respectful of our home. We knew they appreciated and cared for the amenities in the house and our peaceful garden. We were happy to contribute to their healing journey. They are welcome back anytime with a frequent flyer discount!
We needed to stay near Stanford for a few days for medical appointments. This house was nicely located and well-stocked with basic cookware, linens, soaps, etc. Clean and very comfortable with a gorgeous private backyard. It is nestled in an active neighborhood and not at all rural, so do be prepared for neighborhood sights and sounds during the day, but restful at night. We would stay here again for sure if the need arose, and our host was promptly communicative and very friendly! Thanks for helping make a stressful trip much less stressful.

Nicole,
I am so glad your stay was exactly what you wanted. Thank you for such a nice review. Please come back again. Joanie
Staying at this house in Redwood City was the best for my husband and I, dogs and in-laws. The house was adorable and cozy. The dogs loved the back yard. The location was perfect for our needs and safe to run around the neighborhood. I loved the fact that there was a lemon tree, plum tree, comfy patio furniture and everything we needed. Communication with the owner was quick and responsive. Their kind neighbor provided excellent dining recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!
This was the perfect place for my husband and me to spend a few days with our daughter and her husband who study at Stanford and are expecting their first child. House is beautiful inside and out, perfect in any respect, most of all the hosts were extremely kind and helpful. The house is very close to Costco and the Stanford shopping center and the Stanford hospital to name a few relevant places. It is pet friendly and our little Yorkie really enjoyed exploring the beautiful fenced backyard and the quiet and friendly neighborhhod. We hope to be able to go back there again. Highly recommend it.

Grazia, We invite you to stay again at our cottage in Redwood City. I expect your grandchild is adorable! First Christmases are magical....for grandparents. :) Our house will have been sanitized and vacant for 2 days before any booking. Hope you are well. Stay safe! Warm regards, Joanie
We stayed at this cozy home for one month while family member was treated at Stanford. It is an easy 10 minute drive on El Camino Real to the campus. This home is extremely clean, and has a beautiful new kitchen and baths. The owner is extremely kind and committed to making your stay comfortable. Since we stayed for a month we were able to hire her maid to clean and arrived after a long day at Stanford to a spotless home. Thank you Joanie for making our stay memorable for us.

Nancy, we are so happy you found our house a peaceful and healing place to be during your family member’s recovery. Thank you for being such wonderful guests. Please c9me back! Joanie
This home fit our needs perfectly. Beautiful home with an oasis of a back yard. We drove down from MT in our 31 ft RV and wanted a break and have a little more room to stretch out. It had perfect spot for our RV to park. Markets and restaurants within walking distance. Lots of good communication with Joanie, she was very helpful. We attended 2 concerts at Shoreline and this home was close and convenient. Our dogs loved the yard as did we. We hope to come stay again.

Chris, We are so glad you had a wonderful time in our house and the pooches were able to relax and enjoy our garden (and chase the squirrels). Please come back again. Joanie
This charming home is tastefully designed with modern amenities and thoughtfully stocked & equipped inside and outside. Cleanliness and location were our top requirements and this place exceeded our expectations. Beds (including the pull out couch) are very comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet. The yard is private, peaceful, and is well manicured with mature fruit trees, and has nice patio furniture. The house is close to 101 freeway, grocery stores and many good restaurants. We found great authentic Mexican food within 0.5 mile. The host, Joanie, was very accommodating and responsive to messages. We had a very pleasant stay and definitely will be renting it again!

Sue, thank you for your feedback. Please come again. Joanie
Joanie was fantastic in communications from booking her property to checking out. She went ABOVE and BEYOND of any VRBO host I have dealt with. We travel alot and only use VRBO's. This home is layed out nice for two couples. Bedroom and baths on opposite ends of house. Parking for 3-4 cars if need be. Home is quaint, clean and very comfortable to be in. The backyard was perfect for our mini bernie doodle. Lush, Private and peaceful. Very close to Stanford which was our reason for staying here. I would give more than 5 but 5 is our max on this page.
