About this house rental

Enjoy the beautiful Bay Area of San Francisco in a NEW CUSTOM-BUILT GORGEOUS, and MODERN HOME NEVER THAT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE NOR DOES IT LOOK LIKE A RENTAL. We custom-built this new home for our dear parents with their every comfort, convenience, and health in mind. Set on a mini-farm/orchard, complete with our free-range chickens and 30+ organic fruit trees, it boasts 12' vaulted ceilings, incredible sunlight from the supersized windows and patio slider doors, gorgeous driftwood floors reminiscent of a walk at the beach, and a well-stocked chef's kitchen that extends to a lovely patio for quintessential indoor/outdoor CA living.

It's become a HAVEN for EXPECTING GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS visiting KIDS, and even OUR NEIGHBORS who are remodeling their homes. And don't forget our weather in Redwood City --“Best by Government Test”!


SPACIOUS BEDROOMS
The north-facing bedroom is furnished with a brand new, high-profile storage bed and comfortable queen-sized mattress, crisp linens, and helpful wrought iron towel rack. The east-facing bedroom boasts a brand new low-profile storage bed. The closets with louvered-shutter doors provide plenty of storage. LED lights, dimmers, and magnificent 8' sliding doors that goes out to a paved, extra-large patio provide excellent lightning. Full disclosure: you may be visited by our pretty chickens).

LUXURIOUS RELAXING BATHROOM WITH BIDET
Spacious, modern shower-only bathroom with a wonderful bidet, a beautiful copper vessel sink and waterfall faucet along with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. There is a lovely foldable teak shower bench for physical assistance for our/your parents (or shaving your legs!).

CHEF'S GOURMET KITCHEN
There is oodles of natural sunlight in our new home and you can gaze out of any of the oversized windows to admire the fruit trees and enjoy the company of our beautiful, free-range chickens. The enviable chef's dream kitchen boasts brand new appliances and phenomenal fixtures: 6-burner gas stove, Wifi-enabled 4-door refrigerator, dishwasher with timer, microwave, and a super efficient toaster oven. The exquisite farmhouse copper kitchen sink, bronze faucet with pull-out handle, garbage disposal are surrounded by the cool intergalactic black and white granite countertops with a azure backsplash for pop.

Finally, the expansive sliding patio doors lead you out to the large beautifully paved patio, perfect for BBQs and small gatherings. Enjoy meals at the large kitchen island or the dining table, looking out to the peach/nectarine/pomegranate/lemon trees. As foodies and organic gardeners, we have virtually every kitchen gadget you could need so don’t buy one for your stay. Just ask—chances are, we have it.

I stayed here with my daughter for one week while in the area. The guest house proved to be in an exceptional location as it was close to my work as well as all the creature comforts of Redwood City, Menlo Park and Palo Alto. The host, Brian, was very accommodating as I had to modify my itinerary at the last minute. The house was fully stocked with all items that one would need (eg laundry detergent, soaps, shampoos, etc). It was also quiet and provided for several good nights of sleep. My only minor complaint was the AC as while it cooled, it took some time to get cold in the house. It was likely operator error.

Very nice, new home. The host went above and beyond in responding to our questions and requests. For example, an inoperative coffee maker was replaced with a brand new one, as soon as we raised the issue. Highest recommendation.

We received a warm welcome from our hosts, Brian and Oonee. The residence is well laid out with an excellent kitchen that is well equipped and super well supplied with zip lock bags, plastic wrap, soaps etc. The laundry facilities are similarly well supplied. The home was immaculate. I would highly recommend this rental, especially for those who might need to be to the nearby Stanford Medical Center which was our situation.
