Just minutes off both hwy 80 and hwy 24 and BART, you will find this quiet nook waiting for you to enjoy private outdoor living, complete with pool and hot tub, pool side seating with umbrellas and fire pit, patio with grill and of course, all the modern amenities inside to ensure a quiet and relaxing time away from it all!

This space is all about peace and quiet and giving yourself that well deserved break to come up for air. Enjoy taking a nap on the hammock out front, dozing off on a pool chair in back, dip in the pool and gaze up at the blue sky or dunk into the hot tub at dusk listening to the crickets chirping in the distance and the night sky lights up with stars.

Perfect family getaway
The only problem we have with this property is that we can't rate it higher than a 5. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed every moment. The house is extremely well outfitted, organized and comfortable, and the host is quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Truly Zen Retreat
We had an amazing stay at Steven’s property over a weekend. The property is very well kept and has a great pool and deck area to relax in. Steven’s communication was excellent and he was available for any questions we had. The beds were extremely comfortable, especially the memory foam mattress. There was great attention to detail, and it was clear that the house was well cared for. There was a huge Japanese maple and other pine trees in the yard. They gave a very peaceful feeling to the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if we were back in the area. It was a short 30 minute drive to Napa for wine tasting and we also went to Mare Island shipyard for a car event that weekend.

Wonderful base for exploring the Bay Area
We stayed here for spring break with our three kids ages 9, 11, and 14. The home was exactly what we were looking for and more! The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids and it was the perfect way to end our days exploring the San Francisco Bay area. The home was well appointed with anything we might have needed. My husband and oldest son battled it out at the chess table (son almost won!) and we enjoyed some movies before bed in the front room. We thought the beds were very comfortable and the check-in/out process was very easy. Communication was great and the instructions were clear. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!

Just right for family getaway.
The home is perfect for a family looking for the perfect perch to to day trips throughout the regions. The home is very comfortable, spacious, and well kept. The owners is responsive and not intrusive. Moreover, from here you can easily see all the bay areas has the offer and be comfortable. Or just say put, cook, and make memories in this great home.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Gregory

Host profile image
Born and raised in the Richmond District of San Francisco, as a kid I just assumed the world was drenched in cold, wet fog each and every morning and that the sun completely disappeared during the Summer only to return in the Fall right around the time school started back up again!

While I still love the action of the city and walking through Golden Gate Park out to the beach on those super foggy days, I immediately felt this home was perfect for me on so many levels. While it still gets a cooling breeze off the bay for me to know I am still around water, it's far enough inland to get nice and toasty on those days you just want to jump in the pool. And while it's close enough to head into the city or Napa any time I want, it really has that retreat feel when you are laying poolside in the backyard where all you hear is the breeze rustling through the leaves, the distant crowing of roosters and even the occasional clopping of hooves as a local takes a ride on their horse down our street.

I take great pride in this home and spend many days maintaining and improving upon the home in the spirit of making it just that bit nicer when the next guest checks in. While I am a private person, I really enjoy opening up the home to guests who appreciate and respect the space and for me to read the reviews and feedback from guests who share how they enjoyed the home. It's been a very rewarding experience and I look forward to having you all stay and share in that feeling.

Thanks!
-Steven
