Executive Garden Guest House, King Bed + 10Gbps, Workspace, Private Courtyard
Executive Guest House with king bed, premium hybrid mattress, 10 Gbps fiber, dedicated sit/stand workspace with Aeron chair and monitor, full kitchen, in-unit laundry, AC, fireplace, TV + projector, and courtyard.
Designed for work trips and extended stays, with easy self check-in, ample parking, and convenient access to Stanford, Kaiser, Sequoia Hospital, Caltrain, and Peninsula employers.
The space This thoughtfully designed guest house is a comfortable home base for business travelers, visiting professionals, and extended stays.
The living area feels open and bright, with dramatic 17+ foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and upper windows with peaceful treetop views. Separate areas for working, relaxing, cooking, and sleeping make longer stays feel much more comfortable than a typical hotel room.
For work, there is a dedicated workspace setup with a Herman Miller Aeron chair, electric sit/stand desk, external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and ultra-fast Sonic 10 Gbps fiber internet. It is well suited for video calls, focused work, large file transfers, streaming, and longer remote-work stays.
The bedroom features a king-size bed with a premium hybrid mattress, organic cotton percale linens, blackout curtains, bedside charging, and a customized full-size wardrobe with generous storage.
The home is especially comfortable for up to 2 guests, while flexible sleeping arrangements can accommodate small families or groups when needed. In addition to the king bed, extra floor mattresses and sofa space are available for additional guests.
The home is exceptionally well equipped, with thoughtful essentials and everyday items conveniently stored throughout. A full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, air conditioning, electric fireplace, coffee and snack setup, and courtyard make it easy to settle in and feel at home.
Smart TVs include complimentary access to Netflix and HBO Max, and the home also offers a projector for movie nights or relaxed evenings in.

It is also a convenient base for exploring the greater Bay Area, including San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, San Jose, and Santa Cruz. The Peninsula and coast offer plenty of ways to get outdoors, from parks and shoreline trails to kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, and other water-based activities.

About the nearby Caltrain:
The home is close to the Caltrain tracks, which makes Peninsula transit especially convenient. Caltrain now runs quieter, cleaner electric trains along this corridor. While an occasional passing train may be heard, many of our previous guests have commented on how quiet and peaceful the home feels, with several saying they hardly noticed the trains at all.
Accessibility note:
The bathroom has a tub/shower combination with a higher step-over threshold. Guests with mobility, balance, or knee concerns may prefer a walk-in shower setup and should keep this in mind when booking.

About the host
Hosted by Katie
I’ve been hosting for several years and really enjoy creating a space that feels comfortable, cared for, and easy to settle into. I pay close attention to the little details, from cleanliness and thoughtful amenities to making check-in simple and stress-free. I’m always happy to help when needed, while also giving guests the privacy and space to enjoy their stay. My goal is for you to feel genuinely welcome and at home from the moment you arrive.
Why they chose this property
We sit on the line between Redwood City and San Carlos, with both down-towns about a mile away in opposite directions. Redwood City is the livelier one. Courthouse Square hosts free concerts, outdoor film nights, a farmers market, and festivals through the year, and the Fox Theatre, restored from 1929, is a block away. Dinner nearby can be Lebanese, Peruvian, Japanese, Indian, German, or Mexican. San Carlos is the quieter pleasure, a few walkable blocks of independent restaurants, bakeries, and wine bars on Laurel Street.
Our own block is residential and tree lined. Neighbors walk dogs at dusk. Children ride bicycles in the neighborhood, and the late sun swings northwest over the garden, which is when the courtyard is at its best. A high school sits nearby and a train passes now and then, but the streets are wide and the setting stays peaceful.
The rest of the Bay Area opens up from here. San Francisco is about forty minutes north, Stanford eight miles south, the Pacific half an hour west over the hills. Cal-train is walkable and runs the length of the Peninsula, connecting to BART. SFO is twenty minutes away, San Jose thirty.
The water is closer than visitors expect. The shoreline here is tidal marsh and old salt ponds that change color with the season. Bair Island and the Don Edwards refuge have quiet trails and remarkable birdlife in winter. You can kayak, sail, or fish from the harbor.
The weather helps. Redwood City has claimed the best climate in the country, and the arch on Broadway still says so. Two hundred and fifty five sunny days a year, without San Francisco's summer fog.
What makes this property unique
The guesthouse is entirely private, has its own entrance, courtyard, and also its own stretch of backyard. There is a particular relief in closing a gate behind you at the end of a long day and knowing no one is on the other side of the wall.
Ceilings reach nearly seventeen feet. Clerestory windows sit high in the vault, so the light arrives from above and moves across the room through the day, and what you see through them is treetops. Much of the storage was built into the walls rather than added as furniture, which is why a small footprint never feels like one.
The bathroom was finished the way you would finish your own. Porcelain in marble and wave textures, a glass mosaic band that catches the light, a wall hung basin, and a deep tub behind frameless glass. A long soak here is the sort of thing you plan the evening around.
The desk is a real one. Herman Miller Aeron, electric sit and stand, external monitor, and 10 Gbps fiber, which is faster than most offices you have worked in. It sits beside the fireplace. A full day of calls in January is a good deal more civilized here.
The bed is a king with a premium hybrid mattress, organic cotton percale, and blackout curtains that genuinely work. People sleep well here and tend to say so.
Two projectors, one in the living room and one in the bedroom, so a film can follow you from dinner to bed. A digital piano, which surprises people and then gets played. A full kitchen with gas, for the nights you have had enough of restaurants. Laundry in the unit, because three weeks is not a weekend.
Outside, a deck with a sectional beneath string lights, and a paver terrace with a dining table and umbrella. Coffee out there in the morning. Dinner out there in the evening.
Minutes to Stanford Medicine Redwood City, Sequoia, and Kaiser. Eight miles to Stanford.
