This was the most lovely little apartment, so comfortable and cozy. ! I enjoyed my stay very much. Loved being on the water, eating my breakfast on the deck, watching the birds on the bay and the sun coming up through the palms. I will definitely stay here again.
We were honored to be the first tenants staying here. Our host made the place feel like home - I will be booking again very soon

Lisa and Todd were great guests. Happy to have her as our first guest and she took great care of our home. She provided valuable feedback in which we appreciate. Thank you.
We unfortunately had to attend an unexpected funeral and needed a place to stay on very short notice. We thought a VRBO would be nicer than a hotel. This house had beautiful views, it was clean and the owners were very accommodating and responsive. Next time we come, I hope to enjoy the water toys!
Stayed here with 2 friends 50+ while we played out on the Delta during the day. Perfect spot to park my boat and then chill/stay the night. We then had a beautiful morning ski the morning after. Highly recommend!

Mindy and her friends are the perfect guest. Great communicator, hope to host her again any time. Thank you.
We are locals in the area, so we knew this location is definitely the best bay. It was a holiday weekend, and we needed a place for extended family to stay. It far exceeded everyone’s expectations- full of light, great views, and comfortable accommodations. We also appreciated host Paul’s quick responses to questions.
I was leery about staying in the guest suite of an occupied house. I must say, it was a great experience. It was quiet and secluded. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean and had a beautiful view of Discovery Bay.

Justin and his party are perfect guests. They were quite and clean, couldn't tell they were there. Glad they enjoyed the views and hopefully they didn't hear our birds squawking sometime in the afternoon. We agree, it's quite and secluded, sometimes we feel it's too quiet; especially at night. We'd love to host Justin and Justin's party anytime in the future. Safe travels.

Okay- could be better
The apartment is okay but is “equipped” inadequately. There are coffee cups but they’re tiny, there was a pot to boil water but only a very large one, there’s martini glasses but no wine glasses, there’s 8-10 pillows but they were all awful. There were 10 bath towels but only 1 wash cloth. The owner was nice And being on the water is great.

Linda was a great guest that took care of the home and treated it like her own. With that said, we believe she wanted to be like her own home literally to meet her desires and preferences as it doesn't make sense and we feel that her complaints are being a bit nit picking. First off, our house isn't an apartment, it's a house that sits on top of a lake and the lower level is a complete in-law suite which is reserved for guests. Not all hotels will have everything your heart desires because everyone's comfort level are different and subjective,. i.e, pillow softness and firmness. The coffee mugs are standard size in which you would get as if you ordered coffee from a restauarant so we are not sure what's the problem. We provided k-cups so is the complaint that the k-cups are small and she prefers the big carafe style instead? The water kettle is 1.7L glass so it's perfect for a family of four that wants to boil the water and have some hot cocoa together. Not sure how this can be a negative thing? Just put in as little water as you want so that you can boil to a single cup if you prefer. No one says you have to fill the kettle completely full. We provided many pillows, some thin, thick, different firmness so not sure what the complaint is here. We provided lots of towels and wash cloth. Some were in the baskets rolled up or folded and spare ones in the bedroom closet, you just need to get it from the basket which on the bathroom counter. As stated, no hotel will be perfect to meet your preferences because we all have different preferences and it's subjective such as pillow or bed softness / firmness. We provided plenty of pillows and towels and the comforts of memory foam beds, all with a waterfront view and over the water experience. Don't let the little things and perceived issues ruin your vacation.
Perfecte locatie. Onovertroffen uitzicht op het water

About the host
Hosted by Phyrun Heng and Elaine
We are a friendly, quiet, middle aged couple with two kids under 18 and several parrots. We love the area in which we live and would like to share that joy with our short term guests. We are looking for guests that are the same who wants to get away from the chaos of life and just looking for a quick getaway in a quiet and family oriented setting in which you can unwind and take in the views and serenity that this place offers. Discovery Bay is known as a water community and golf community with many things to do on the water and surrounding areas. It's not known to be a crazy, raving party central like San Francisco or other urban setting so if you're looking for that, then Disco isn't for you. Upon arrival, you'll have a welcome guide with many things to do such as swimming, fishing, paddle boarding, pedal boating, kayaking or other water activities. There's golfing, hiking, shopping, vineyard nearby. Plenty of things to do. Come visit us.
Why they chose this property
Discovery Bay in general is an amazing community. We fell in love because we are the type of family that doesn't like crowded spaces and the city life. It's just far enough from the city but not too far so everything is just within reach. What's especially great about our specific location is that it's close to fast water, it sits in the largest bay and the backyard faces north so we enjoy the views 24/7 without the blinding sun in our eyes. Location is so important and it takes us 3 to 5 minutes to reach fast water compared to other locations in which it can take up to 50 minutes before you're allowed to go fast on your boat. Since our bay is the largest, water is much nicer compared to all the other small and shallow bays in which there's lots of algae and weeds. Some bays, the weeds are so bad, it restricts boating and you can't swim or take your boat out; especially at low tides because it'll foul your propeller or it's gross to swim with weeds touching your legs. It's probably no wonder why there's an annual event called "Lido Bay Float Out" in which people are invited at no charge to come by boat, swim or paddle on over to Lido Bay to mingle, dance, sing, drink, socialize and party right here in Lido Bay. It's like a concert with a band on a floating barge with the crowds in the water. Come experience water life with us.
What makes this property unique
Our house is very unique in many ways. Unlike most homes in Disco which I guess is 99% of homes are offset from the levee and sits entirely on land, half of our home is built directly above the water and you are literally living above the water; see the picture. You can actually just drop a fishing line off a window to fish, no casting necessary. Another thing we love about the home is the location. 3 parts of the location makes this home amazing. First part is that it's in a circle so the home feels like you're living on an island because there's hardly any car traffic during the day and no traffic at night; you just hear the breeze of the wind, water lapping and nature singing. Second is that the home backyard is facing north and since Disco is all about backyard living, you're protected against the harsh, hot sunlight and can spend all the time without the blinding sunlight in your eyes. Third is that the home is sitting on the largest bay in Disco. It's perfect to do all the leisure activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding / boating, etc; so it's safe from all the busy boating activities that occurs near the marina. Our house has very large windows to take all the scenery in. See the pictures in the property listing and you can see that our house gets the beautiful views of both the Sunrise and Sunset. It's really a joy to be in this location. BONUS: When we bought this property, we were delighted to find out there was a sandy beach so close by that we can just paddle there. Once there, often times, you're just there by yourself so it feels like a private beach.
