Privacy Note: The host maintains a separate, fully independent basement apartment/office on-site, used occasionally (by me only) for daytime remote work. There are no shared indoor spaces, common walls, or shared outdoor areas. Your total privacy is guaranteed, but I am occasionally there if you need help or local recommendations!
When not at this house, I live close by and can drop by to help, if needed. Or call me on my cell anytime. I prefer to give you space to enjoy your retreat in private, unless I hear otherwise from you. But I'm here to help you enjoy your stay, if needed!

Great home with great views. Easy access to whatever we needed or wherever we wanted to go in surrounding areas. Owner is very responsive and helpful! I would stay here again!
What a wonderful stay at this impeccable home--and he is not kidding about the spectacular views! The house was immaculate when we checked in. The check in process was a breeze, and the owner was a great communicator without invading our private time. The kitchen is beautifully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Parking is close to the house at the rear with easy access to the entry door. We had to go into San Francisco several times while we were there and it was a breeze--so nice to return to this peaceful haven! We stayed for 4 nights and truly wished we could have stayed longer. We cannot wait until we have the opportunity to stay again!
This place was beyond our expectations, and provided the perfect environment to meet up with my siblings and spouses. The house reminded us of our Bay Area childhood home, but with all the modern conveniences and a great separation of space. Each bedroom felt private and spacious. The view was over the top spectacular, and we would gladly come back again. Steve was an attentive host, without ever being intrusive. Great location.
We all wished we could have stayed at Steve house much longer. It was perfect…like coming home. The house, the amenities, the attention to details, the view, the location, it had it all. Obviously a home that has been lived and cared for! Thank you Steve!
What a lovely surprise the moment we entered the house.All very clean, spacious. fully equipped with more than we would need.And then the view of the bay. WOWWe now feel we have a second homeThank you, Steve, for all your care and attention.Next trip to San Francisco, we know where we would like to stay.C.S. UK
This property has every amenity you could ask for, including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of space to spread out. The tranquil view of the bay was a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning. Between the expansive windows, well-positioned deck, and private balcony, you get a fantastic view of all the water activities. We loved reading out in the sun, but a quick warning to future guests: the constant breeze masks just how much sun you are getting! We would absolutely stay here again the next time we visit the Bay Area.
