My family of 15 rented the front house and this cottage located at the back of this house. 11 people stayed in the front house and 4 people stayed in this cottage. Both the cottage and the house were more beautiful in person. The pictures here did not do them justice. Both have a charm and personality that have been preserved beautifully over the years. They were clean and spacious with beautiful decor. They were spacious and a perfect fit for our family. We drove daily into San Francisco, Stanford, Palo Alto, Oakland etc. The drive was not bad at all (about 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic). Some family members flew into Oakland airport, which is 6 miles or 17 minutes from the house. Parking all our cars on the street was a very simple process. We did not have AC but it was not needed at all, even though we were there in the summer. Every room has a fan, but we did not need that either. That's how close we were to the water. The owner Diana was a very attentive landlord, yet very professional. We did not meet her in person, but she was always available via phone. We would totally stay here again and highly recommend both houses to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood. We absolutely loved it <3
