This rental is absolutely stunning. It’s gorgeous to look at, so spacious and comfortable, and had a great mix of gathering space to solo time space. The kitchen is super modern. The place was spotless. Wende was such a delight to work with. She even helped us reschedule at no charge when one of our travelers had a health emergency. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful, as is the North Bay generally. I can’t recommend this location enough. Thanks so much Wende!!

Wende is such an absolutely exceptional host. Her kindness surpassed any expectation. The Courtyard Home was immaculate and felt like a true 5 star stay. The architecture was stunning with lovely landscaping. Every detail inside and out was clearly very well thought out. Soaring ceilings with floor to ceiling windows gave the home a very special feel. The home is also centrally located and right off the very, yet incredibly quiet. We’re so very grateful to Wende for her hospitality and for our weekend away in her opulent home!

Everything was beautiful and perfect to drop in and immediately feel at home. The space is truly gorgeous, the landscaping is beautiful, the area is convenient. We were very close to trails for hiking/running, but also close enough for easy access to the highway. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use with everything labeled.

The home is beautiful and everything, from the pots / pans to the jacuzzi and corn hole lawn game, is high quality and clean. Wende was very thoughtful thoughout our 1 week stay. The location is ideal with easy access to highway, a quaint downtown and very good restaurants. We went to Muir Woods, Japantown, CA Academy of Sciences, Asian Art Museum, Alcatraz and Silicon Valley.

The home was immaculate! Our two families consisted of teenagers and a grandparent all loved the place. The home was very clean and comfortable and large enough to provide space if you needed it. Our stay happen to be during a storm but we all didn't mind staying indoors at the home :) We played games, and enjoyed the fireplace and the home to its fullest. It made for a wonderful Holiday getaway. We cannot recommend this home enough! You will love it!

It was voted by my family as the best VRBO we have stayed at. Everything was immaculate. The photos don't do it justice. High ceilings, gorgeous accordion sliding windows. We were lucky with perfect weather and had the windows open and the kids playing in the yard. Outdoor shower was a huge hit!

Perfect oasis for a relaxing time bonding with coworkers

Wende’s house was a perfect spot for our small team of 6 to bond and plan for the year ahead. It’s rare that a listing exceeds expectations set by professional photography and descriptions. Wende’s house is one of those. I’d love to come back for future personal or work stays.
