Peaceful Bay Area base

The creekside casita was a perfect base for our recent Bay Area trip. The house was comfortable and clean, and the grounds were stunning. Somehow, though we were close to peninsula thoroughfares, it felt like we were in the forest. My daughter and I both loved reading on the back chair, at peace amidst the trickling water feature and gorgeous giant trees.

Home is perfectly furnished and plenty of yard seating areas was gas fire pit. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to rebook if in area again.

Fabulous House rental

The house is in a very nice neighborhood and was more than we expected. The online pictures are accurate but the area is stunning and secluded. The owners stay in the main house and controlled the outside lighting which we appreciated as we would come home later in the evening and it was adequate for the pathway leading to the house. Definitely recommend staying here as it is close to Sanfransico, Oakland and San Jose. Easy to find on GPS. Hosts are great and asked how we were enjoying our stay when we would see them. We really would recommend staying here and would rent it again if we were visiting again. Saved this on VRBO as a favourite to my profile.

Beauty and Tranquility in San Carlos, California

Sean and Jen have created Shangri-La in San Carlos, California. The Creekside Casita is in a glorious setting on their property. I needed a home-away-from-home to visit friends I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic. If you like having a deck outside your bedroom, relaxing in the lovely living room, preparing a simple meal in the modern kitchen, sitting in the patio near the fountain, getting occasional visits from their friendly and well-behaved Golden Retrievers... you too will love staying here. Shades and blinds on doors and windows provide privacy since the cottage is across the lawn from the main house and their outdoor entertainment area. Even though there was construction down the block, the beauty and tranquility of the cottage made up for the daytime noise. Looking forward to my next stay. Many thanks to Jen and Sean!
