Sit down to eat at the spacious island, in the sunlit dining room, or outside on the covered front porch.

Summary: This cottage was perfect for our stay. It is very clean and the property manager was wonderful! She was responsive and very prompt in getting back in touch with us when ever we had a question. I highly recommend this property and I will stay here again!
Elyse G. Oct 26, 2024 09:22:01 PM
Summary: We loved the accessibility of the house to the activities we wanted to do in the area. It was great coming back to a place to stretch out and relax. They had everything we needed and it was super clean.
Mary M. Sep 28, 2024 09:30:48 PM
Summary: The place was very tranquil. It was quiet even though close to the highway. Very convenient to many places.
Doug A. Sep 3, 2024 01:49:26 AM
Summary: First, it started with an extra charge at the time of reservation that we were not aware of. When we got to the house and found the key, we logically tried the door closest to the lock box. Not only did the key not work, it stuck in the lock. We did manage to free it and called Vacasa (in India I believe). The person there simply said, try the other doors and see what works. We did that and got in although the key still stuck in this second lock. Once inside at 5pm, we found that the house had not been cleaned since the last guests. Another call to Vacasa. They would contact the “local team” who would call me shortly. We never heard from anyone after that despite two more calls to Vacasa. I did get a message from Vacasa that someone had been called and would be out to clean the house though not when. I was told that we would be credited $146 for the inconvenience which we haven’t seen yet. The housekeepers showed up unannounced at 7:30pm. In their defense, no one had told them that there had been guests in immediately before us. While we were waiting, we checked out the backyard. Not secure, no gate, missing boards in the fence and just dirt and some dried grass. The front yard was fully secured with a fence but just dirt and trees. Previous guests had not cleaned up after their dog which we had to take care of. More importantly, we found broken glass embedded in the clay at 3-4 locations. We only found that by light glinting off the sharp points stickingup
Dean M. Aug 26, 2024 10:37:43 AM
Summary: We really enjoyed staying at this property and found Vacasa to be a good host.
Mary R. Apr 22, 2024 11:39:05 AM
Summary: We rented this for an ACL surgery recovery and it was the perfect space!
Ellen P. Jan 11, 2024 02:48:17 AM
Summary: Overall this is a comfortable place to stay, in a quiet neighborhood. There were a few things that needed attention. First, the oven was dirty, causing the smoke alarm to go off repeatedly during use as soon as it approached set temperature. Second, there was a stool in the kitchen that was extremely rickety and should not have been in use. Finally, and most significant, the garbage disposal did not work. May have been jammed by previous occupants. When this was called in, someone did show up shortly, but was unable to fix.
Amelie B. Dec 15, 2023 12:22:28 AM
Summary: Super convenient location with good amenities and a nice porch.
Anita G. Dec 5, 2023 04:24:05 PM
Summary: This home is in a very quiet location. It’s very easy to get on and off the 101 freeway to go south to SF or north to wine country. The amenities are simple but met our needs. My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay.
David G. Oct 4, 2023 09:32:47 PM
Summary: What impresses us about this house was how quiet and calm the neighborhood was, given its proximity to two major freeways. It truly is tranquil. The house was clean and well stocked, the decor was pleasant. We enjoyed our stay, we were a party of five in town for a weekend wedding and the home was well suited to our needs. We would recommend it. The exterior is tidy and would work great if you have pets (we didn’t), not overly inviting for socializing outside.
