We stayed at Joanie's property following my dad's bone marrow transplant. He was able to have his own personal space in the house as well as in the backyard which was also private. Access to the house was extremely simple and the house had everything that we needed! The laundry was efficient and fast and there is even a drying rack if you like to hang your clothes instead of putting them in the dryer. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were wonderful as well. The kitchen had all of the items that we needed to make meals since we aren't able to do restaurants following the transplant. I loved the neighborhood and if you are a runner it is a very short distance to get to The Bay trail. There is also a very cool market about a half a mile away.
Overall, I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay near Stanford or just simply in this area.

This charming home is tastefully designed with modern amenities and thoughtfully stocked & equipped inside and outside. Cleanliness and location were our top requirements and this place exceeded our expectations. Beds (including the pull out couch) are very comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet. The yard is private, peaceful, and is well manicured with mature fruit trees, and has nice patio furniture. The house is close to 101 freeway, grocery stores and many good restaurants. We found great authentic Mexican food within 0.5 mile. The host, Joanie, was very accommodating and responsive to messages. We had a very pleasant stay and definitely will be renting it again!

We enjoyed staying at this pleasant & well-located home so much! We stayed 73 days, as my husband was recovering from a transplant. Situated a few miles from Stanford & Kaiser, location was ideal. The neighborhood is bucolic yet bustling, plenty of trees to provide shade for strolls.
Home itself is very comfy! Nicely laid out, 2 separate bedrooms & attached bathrooms. Our bedroom had walk-in closet with plenty of storage. Beds were extremely comfortable, lots of bedding options.Bathrooms are spacious & had everything we needed in toiletries. Luxuries: towel warmer, heated floors & excellent water pressure. Kitchen has very nice appliances that function well, quality knives & cookware, plenty of options for coffee/tea. My husband especially appreciated the fireplace insert w/remote. Wi-Fi worked well, TV worked great using our streaming services. Son appreciated the spacious desk in his room as he worked remotely. Windows offer pretty views, lots of birds & squirrels to see.
Yards are gorgeous with orange, lemon & kaffir lime trees. Fun to watch hummingbirds at the feeder. Seating options-2 dining/picnic tables, chaises, cushioned chairs. Loved taking trips to nearby places-Half Moon Bay, San Gregorio, Hiller Aviation Museum & Menlo Park for shopping/dining.
What we appreciated most about our stay was the kindness & consideration of the hosts, who made special arrangements for a deep cleaning before arrival. They checked on us via text periodically & were warm & attentive! 💞

We stayed at this cozy home for one month while family member was treated at Stanford. It is an easy 10 minute drive on El Camino Real to the campus. This home is extremely clean, and has a beautiful new kitchen and baths. The owner is extremely kind and committed to making your stay comfortable. Since we stayed for a month we were able to hire her maid to clean and arrived after a long day at Stanford to a spotless home. Thank you Joanie for making our stay memorable for us.

The yard is beautiful and our dogs were very comfortable in it.
The house is clean, well maintained, and well furnished.

Joanie was fantastic in communications from booking her property to checking out. She went ABOVE and BEYOND of any VRBO host I have dealt with. We travel alot and only use VRBO's. This home is layed out nice for two couples. Bedroom and baths on opposite ends of house. Parking for 3-4 cars if need be. Home is quaint, clean and very comfortable to be in. The backyard was perfect for our mini bernie doodle. Lush, Private and peaceful. Very close to Stanford which was our reason for staying here. I would give more than 5 but 5 is our max on this page.

Staying at this house in Redwood City was the best for my husband and I, dogs and in-laws. The house was adorable and cozy. The dogs loved the back yard. The location was perfect for our needs and safe to run around the neighborhood. I loved the fact that there was a lemon tree, plum tree, comfy patio furniture and everything we needed. Communication with the owner was quick and responsive. Their kind neighbor provided excellent dining recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a 'staycation' here over the July 4 holiday, because our neighborhood in a nearby city is like a war zone with fireworks going off right outside in all directions.
This property was so lovely and well appointed, the quality of everything exceeded all expectations. We literally went nowhere during our stay and enjoyed most of our time in the yard while my very elderly dog napped on the grass. It was wonderful to simply 'be' and relax and not have to worry about anything. Groceries and takeout and even an emergency vet ( not needed ) are conveniently nearby, our stay couldn't have been simpler. Check in and communication were great, too.
I'd definitely recommend this lovely home to friends and family. If need be we'll be back again!

We came into town for a Stanford graduation, and this was a perfect place to gather in between our various graduation events. The home was clean and just like it looks in the pictures. I highly recommend this home!

My family (including 2 dogs) needed a place to stay last-minute due to unforeseeable circumstances. Joanie graciously made her cottage available to us the next day well before the regular check-in time. We were pretty stressed out by our situation, but the cottage put us at ease. It was so cute, cozy, inviting, and accommodating. Joanie made sure it had everything we needed and then some. She was the best host and really made us feel like somebody cared. We loved eating, lounging, and playing in the backyard. And enjoyed all of the fantastic upgrades inside. It’s in an older section of Redwood City, and the neighbors were very friendly. I would highly recommend this great little getaway. Thanks again for everything, Joanie!!!

The renter was responsive and helpful. We were able to stay here while my daughter recuperated from surgery at Stanford. A lovely little home with a quiet neighborhood, flourishing back yard, cute kitchen, and comfortable living rooms and bedrooms. If we’re ever back this way, I’ll definitely rent again.

I was in the Bay Area for work and this was the perfect location near the office, with a doggy daycare on the way (Wag in RWC). The backyard was perfect for the dog and super nice for the humans too. The house is very comfortable. Love all the windows in the master bedroom. The only add I would have is a king bed for the master. Small issue with ants, but easily resolved with a few more traps. Will be staying here again on my next trip to the office (if available!). Thank you!

This home fit our needs perfectly. Beautiful home with an oasis of a back yard. We drove down from MT in our 31 ft RV and wanted a break and have a little more room to stretch out. It had perfect spot for our RV to park. Markets and restaurants within walking distance. Lots of good communication with Joanie, she was very helpful. We attended 2 concerts at Shoreline and this home was close and convenient. Our dogs loved the yard as did we. We hope to come stay again.

We were able to experience a comfortable, wonderful stay over a busy college graduation weekend. The home was perfect for an outdoor daytime celebration, with everyone saying, “How did you find such a perfect house?” Joanie and Mark are terrific hosts - the home has everything you could ever want. Convenient location, great amenities, perfect for a short stay or a long stay. It truly felt like home and we feel so lucky to have been able to celebrate our college graduates at this truly special house. Thank you.

We needed a home for my mom to recover from knee surgery that would be comfortable for my parents and their dog. What a great house and an amazing fully fenced yard. The house was perfect for them and they had a great stay. The owners were awesome too. Great communicators and easy check in and check out. Would definitely recommend. Only suggestion is to provide cable TV or more streaming services.

Came up to stay while helping family members with a move in the area. The house was a welcome retreat, and had everything I needed. The garden was especially nice, and very peaceful in the mornings and evenings. Will stay here again.

I needed a place to stay while finding my daughter an apartment near Stanford. It was a very stressful process but coming home to Joanie’s cottage was such a relaxing treat. Her back yard law,/garden is so inviting and her lemon tree looks like it was selected from a fairy tale. Every day we would pick a few lemons for both our water and tea. Joanie was very attentive and responsive as a host. Thank you, Jane

Joanie was on top of everything and a wonderful host. I absolutely loved the fenced in backyard (as did my dog) and trees, grass, patio and flowers in the yard. Joanie had clear instructions for everything and had thought of all the details. I appreciated the little things like a new sponge and fabulous new washer and dryer since I stayed longer and did laundry a number of times while there. Easy drive to Stanford campus as well.

What a wonderful house and fabulous location for us and for our visit with our son, daughter and new grandson (4 blocks away from our son’s house). We felt really well taken care of in that Joanne left us coffee and breakfast items for our arrival seeing we were arriving after a very long day of driving across country to see our grandson. We also really appreciated having toiletries in the shower and the use of the washing machine/dryer.Thank you!

The home was more than we expected. It was clean and well-lit. The owner was available and responsive. But the surprise was the backyard. Fenced and very private with three lovely picnic areas. Fruit trees and flowers with hummingbirds and butterflies! Thanks so much.
