Excellent property if you are looking for a great safe and quiet place to stay whether you are going a Stanford event, visiting friends or relatives or just need some quiet time alone from your daily noise and stress. Be sure to download or print out all the check in details as if you try to do it right when you get there you might nit have good cell coverage to complete key check in steps. Maria is an excellent host, communicates well, allows you to feel at home using the pool and is ready to respond to any request as she even shared her cell phone with me. I look forward to requesting a stay again and promoting it as an option to a select few I know who deserve to stay there. Wifi is great too, suggest bringing your own firestick as you can easily plugged it in and off you go with all your streaming. Kitchen has more than enough items to handle you making your own dinner or heating it something you get from take out.

Great stay, quiet isolated location in the Redwood City hills, beautiful property, fairly simple check-in. Space was large enough for two people, great option for our Stanford recovery.

Basic stay.

A place to quickly crash for a simple adult but definitely not a couple or family. The place could be so much better if hosts would keep better care and clean of it. Sadly wouldn’t recommend.. only positive is the view was nice and location was good for us because of close friends.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy

Disappointing. Not recommended in current condition.

Disappointed immediately. It's a pool shack (1 large room and 1 bathroom) with a queen bed against a wall. The inside walls are in poor condition with patches on display. Very poor window coverings falling off the rail and missing from the other window making the quality feel very poor. The place was not clean as there was plenty of old dog hair and an old pair of socks at the base of the bar legs, toenail clippings in the bathroom, and old food and chew tables in the cupboard. The dishes and cutlery are minimal, i.e., just 5 paper cereal bowls (no ceramic or plastic bowls), which wasn’t enough for our planned 13 night stay. No dining table or chairs inside the unit so it was meals on laps, and the outside dining table wasn’t clean. The closet was full of junk and there was no drawer unit so we couldn't unpack our luggage. There were two crappy hangers outside the storage closet door, which was inadequate. Of serious concern was the smoke detector had been removed. There is no lock & key to secure our belongings when we went out (although you can lock yourself inside with the interior lock), which was particularly concerning after we saw several young people sneaking around the Cabana. We moved out the next day (at significant cost to us). We booked for 13 nights; I stayed 3 nights and my wife stayed just 2 nights. TV, internet, towels, hot water, towels okI cannot recommend this VRBO in its current condition. Suggest u find a clean, safe, and convenient hotel instead.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 January 2025
This couple had no complaints until they decided to leave early and get their money back. When refused, they complained to VRBO and after their adjudication, VRBO decided that the complaint unfounded. We have a professional cleaning team and the place was spotless when they checked in. You see in the pics exactly what you get. There is porcelain kitchenware for four people. These people just posted a retaliatory review as they wanted to stay in a place and not pay. Very unfair

The place worked perfect for our family. It’s a pool house, so if you’re looking for something else, it isn’t that.We enjoyed the pool, hottub, the beautiful grounds and the ease and safety of access. The owner has a full size washer and dryer which was so amazing. Perfect place, serine, and peaceful.
