My 4 siblings and our husbands wanted to spend Thanksgiving with our parents who live in Antioch so this property was ideal. The owners were very easy to work with and kind enough to let us arrive a few hours earlier than the typical check in time. We all drove from Southern California and really appreciated this. The pictures in the listing do a good job showing the property and amenities and we were very much looking forward to relaxing on the beautiful deck. Upon arrival we were very disappointed by the condition of the outdoor spaces of this property. It was extremely dirty with spider webs and spider nests all over the furniture and cushions. The deck was very dirty and the railings had large cobwebs as well. We grabbed the broom and went to work trying our best to make it useable but it was impossible without a power washer and/or blower/vacuum. We went to Walmart and bought sheets to drape over the furniture so we could sit on it. I did call Ruth to ask if the cleaning people forgot to clean and she told me they don’t clean outside during this time of year. The outside deck was a huge reason for choosing this property so having that information in the description would have been very helpful. I did receive a message the day before arrival saying they had a black ant infestation and the cleaners were going to be there early on our day of arrival to clean up. We didn’t see any ants upon arrival but day two brought an army of ants into the laundry room and downstairs bathroom. We found the Raid spray in the garage and took care of it. We made the best of an unpleasant situation and enjoyed our stay at this property. Our parents in Antioch are elderly and we visit often. Their home is very small so when we gather with everyone we need a larger space, we’d love to use this property again but would not want the work that goes with with.

I was a little nervous because the VRBO website was down so I could not get to my code to get into the property and my son's wedding rehearsal was in only a couple of hours. Luckily, my daughter's boyfriend made some calls and got it figured out. The place is a little dated, but very well maintained. The owners were amazing to work with and my family had a wonderful stay. It was very close to my son's wedding venue so I hosted a brunch the following day. We had all the necessary platters, cups, and dishes. The beds were so comfortable! It is very close to Safeway. I would definitely stay here again!!

We really loved this place! Everything is perfect and kitchen fully well equipped. Huge space, fun place for the kids, grand parents, privacy for us, and heart breaking views from main bedrooms suite. The outdoor deck is perfect do bbq and sunset! We rent a boat for the water sports and the kids just loved it! Owner is great in response and helped us on many tips around the area like where to go and what to do. It will be our must to be summer vacation every year I think.

Really Bad

I brought my family of 5 plus a few extra teenagers to this beautiful home. It was well appointed with dishes and supplies, basically everything you need to make it home except the food. The pool table was a huge hit and the just the general layout of the home is perfect. Super comfortable beds, amazing ovens (I'm a baker), gorgeous kitchen with views you could never beat. The master bedroom is like it's own apartment! The house rules are not exhaustive and very reasonable which makes things much less stressful. I loved working with Ruth who co-manages, she's a delight. We used the beautiful dock to tie up our boat and the kids spent a ton of time fishing and swimming. There was a kayak and paddle boards that we made use of, not to mention a beautiful outside patio complete with a fire top table and nice patio furniture . Oh and the BBQ!!! A pristine BBQ that cooked everything perfectly while you watch the sunset. I can't say enough good things about this gorgeous home. I can't wait to go back! Thank you, Ruth and Marian! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We stayed here for two weeks while we were visits and had such a lovely time. The house was bright, clean, well stocked and beautiful. The owners were so amazing and we were very happy with the interaction!

This house was large and looked just like the photos. The bad news is we rented this to be on the water and use the kayaks and SUPs. The tandem was broken and they were all filthy covered by spiders and webs. The owners graciously allowed my to use the inflatable boat with a motor. I had to remove 6 seagull eggs, spiders and wash it down. But being an active large boat owner, it turned out to be a lot of fun and more than offset the bad news on the kayaks. The deck is spectacular and the grill in mint shape so we enjoyed eating outside with there being an electric awning to cover the table, a working firepit and the sunsets were gorgeous.

This house was beautiful and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed the view, large deck and pool table/bar area. Very well stocked kitchen with helpful labeling. Highly recommend for family or friends.

Perfect for my grown children and their little ones. The deck was secured and large. I never had to worry about the grandchildren escaping. Layout of rooms was awesome for kids and adults......especially when we needed our own space. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. I loved the melamine dishes that we used for each outdoor meal (never know when those little kids will drop something!) Location was wonderful as it was close to fruit picking. The water activities was the best. The house provided paddle boards and kayak which we used everyday by every member of the family. Our Discovery Bay friends came over with their boat and took us water skiing and wakeboarding which was the icing on the cake. I even read one of the books that I found in the office. The outdoor furniture allowed the perfect setting for my reading and my husband's napping. The hosts were easy to get hold of when we had a small issue and it was easily remedied. The only con for me was the lack of an automatic ice maker. Not a big deal to others but I am an ice hog. There were ice trays available but we purchased a 5 lb bag from Safeway (which was really close by) and I was a happy camper. I definetly plan on visiting again.

Wonderful property with great amenities & kitchen was well organized & labeled! We will definitely want to stay there again!
