Redwood City Sojourn

We can’t say enough great things about this property or Kirsten. Fabulous location in a very quaint and lovely neighborhood. Kirsten has thought of everything (including a binder that addressed every question we could’ve had), is always available and makes you feel warm and welcome at all times. A wonderful experience all the way around!

Excellent place!

Stayed for over two months. The place was very clean and spacious. The environment feels very welcoming, from the garden path in the entrance to the cozy decorations. The location is excellent. It’s just a 15-20m walk and a 5m bike ride away from Redwood City. I was able to receive mail without issue. It is also very private and feels very secure.

Absolutely PERFECT!

This modern cottage is an oasis set in a magnificent garden! It’s even better in person than the lovely photos. Kirsten has thought of EVERYTHING to make her guests both comfortable and delighted. Quick access to all Bay Area locations made every aspect of my visit a snap. Eager to return!! Five stars falls short in reviewing our experience!!!!

Owner and home both gems

I can't thank Kirsten enough for all her help and patience with housing our traveling nurse professional. Communication was always clear and prompt. Absolutely no complaints during our traveler's long stay. Top notch quality. Thanks, Kirsten! It's a pleasure working/booking with you! : )

Best place on Vrbo

I stayed here for 3 months during the summer of 2021. I was so sad to leave! It has absolutely every amenity you could need and was very well decorated down to the smallest of details. It's like a little secret oasis. It was really private, but Kirsten was also an awesome host whenever I needed anything. It was an easy drive into the city and down into the heart of silicon valley. The Caltrain station is also in walking distance. I highly recommend this property. Go stay here!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten McKay

I'm an interior designer with a passion for creating beautiful living spaces and gardens. I purchased my 1920's home because of its beautiful architecture and its location in a safe, serene, tree-filled neighborhood where neighbors actually know each other.

I designed and built the cottage because I wanted to create a space like the kind I like to find when traveling for business/pleasure in a different city/country. Something unique and stylish, that provides all the luxury and comforts, that's located in a lovely neighborhood that lets you feel like you're living here versus just visiting.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located in the original historic home section of Redwood City, with wide well maintained sidewalks and streets, where you see people out walking, jogging, enjoying the neighborhood or strolling downtown for coffee, dinner or a movie.

I'm 15 minutes walking distance from the charming downtown with nice pubs, restaurants and a convenient bullet train station to SF, and only a 5 minute drive from either 101 or 280 (connecting highways to San Francisco and San Jose and all points north and south). It's also an easy 7 miles -15 minute drive to Stanford University/Palo Alto.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful interior and exterior space. Private and peaceful. A welcome respite in the Silicon Valley. Within walking distance of the Caltrain bullet station and a cool, interesting downtown.
