Lovely cottage in great location

Our family enjoyed this cottage for our weekend getaway. It was clean and the kitchen was well equipped for our cooking. It was a bit rainy but the electronic fireplace kept things cozy and Netflix and kept the kids entertained. Also, the covered carport in the backyard made it possible to still do some bbq. The location is also excellent, you can walk 1 block and be on the main strip.

Amazing Family Vacation for ALL Ages!

Perfectly outfitted, cute, clean, great location, 100% recommended! Our family had such an amazing time at this cute cottage. Our little kids loved the backyard and all the toys. Our older kids (& I) loved the retro Nintendo console and many board games. Horse shoes and connect 4 in the backyard were a blast. 1 block walk to the bay for restaurants, shopping, and seal watching. Washer/dryer & full kitchen were such a godsend on our long road trip. Stay here for some amazing family memories!

Great location for a getaway, SO CLEAN!

This property is exactly as stated - 1/2 block from Embarcadero. Loved: - dedicated parking space - comfy beds! (I'd love to know the brand so i can get one) - easy arrival and check in via lock with code - fully equipped kitchen (and a thoughtful snack basket) - SO CLEAN!! (Probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in, seriously!) There plenty of room for our group of 3 adults and would likely be comfortable for up to 3 adults and a couple of small kiddos or 4 - 5 adults (two large king beds and a large super cozy sectional in the living room), though you'd have to be pretty comfortable with one another and be ok sharing the one small bathroom. The bathroom is small, but again, CLEAN and is well - equipped. It's also a jack-and-jill, which is totally workable, but could be challenging to access if bedroom doors are closed. We loved our stay and were very comfortable at every point. Would absolutely stay again!

Darling place

The selfish side of me doesn't want to share my rave reviews because I want the home available when I want to visit!! Ha ha! But in all honesty, one of my favorite VRBO stays. The house is CLEAN. That is a big deal to me. The house is well-prepped and very organized. There was nice basket on the kitchen table with snacks...very accommodating and welcoming. Jack and jill bathroom which worked great for us. The location was walking distance from everything we wanted to do.
