We felt welcomed. Very beautiful view. Everything was very clean. The silverware was only fir two to three guests and the futon bed was for two people quite uncomfortable. We would come back at another time.

The most perfect stay with my family while visiting family in the Bay Area. The property is extremely convenient to anything and everything. Private. The views were incredible from the awesome deck. We would definitely love to stay again! Thank you Z!— the Harris Fam.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2025
The area and view was breathtaking. The most important things such as, bedding and toiletries could use lots of improvement. Bedding was horrible, old blankets and pillows. Pillows were horrible.. Bed was pretty hard. Futon was very hard also. Towels and wash cloths were the worst I’ve ever used in a rental. The smell on the towels were horrible. The wash cloths were dark in color with bleach stains. I could not believe this beautiful rental lacked so much in blankets, and towels. The towels did not even wrap around my body, they were so little and OLD!!!
