About this house rental

Enjoy the beautiful Bay Area of San Francisco in a NEW BUILD GORGEOUS, and MODERN HOME NEVER INTENDED TO BE A RENTAL. We custom-build this new home for our dear parents with their every comfort, convenience, and health in mind. Set on a mini-farm/orchard, complete with our free-range chickens and 30+ organic fruit trees, it boasts 12' vaulted ceilings, incredible sunlight from the supersized windows and patio slider doors, gorgeous driftwood floors reminiscent of a walk at the beach, and a well-stocked chef's kitchen that extends to a lovely patio for quintessential indoor/outdoor CA living.

It's become a HAVEN for EXPECTING GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS visiting KIDS, and even OUR NEIGHBORS who are remodeling their homes. And don't forget our weather in Redwood City --“Best by Government Test”!


SPACIOUS BEDROOMS
The north-facing bedroom is furnished with a brand new, high-profile storage bed and comfortable queen-sized mattress, crisp linens, and beautiful towel rack. The east-facing bedroomm boasts a brand new low-profile storage bed. Each bedroom provides ample closet storage with LED lights, dimmers, and magnificent 8' sliding doors that goes out to a paved, extra-large patio (full disclosure: often visited by our pretty chickens).

GORGEOUS, RELAXING BATHROOM
Spacious, modern shower-only bathroom with a wonderful bidet, a beautiful copper vessel sink and waterfall faucet along with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. There is a lovely foldable teak shower bench for physical assistance for our/your parents (or shaving your legs!).

CHEF'S GOURMET KITCHEN
There is oodles of natural sunlight in our new home and you can gaze out any of the large windows to admire the fruit trees and enjoy the company of our beautiful, free-range chickens. The enviable chef's dream kitchen boasts brand new appliances and phenomenal fixtures: 6-burner gas stove, Wifi-enabled 4-door refrigerator, dishwasher with timer, microwave, and a super efficient toaster oven. The exquisite farmhouse copper kitchen sink, bronze faucet with pull-out handle, garbage disposal are surrounded by the cool intergalactic black and white granite countertops with a azure backsplash for pop.

Finally, the expansive sliding patio doors lead you out to the large beautifully paved patio, perfect for BBQs and small gatherings. Enjoy meals at the large kitchen island or the dining table, looking out to the peach/nectarine/pomegranate/lemon trees. As foodies and organic gardeners, we have virtually every kitchen gadget you could need so don’t buy one—just ask. Chances are, we have it.

We found that the property had been misrepresented. The yards had trash, clutter and even dog poop everywhere. The home was filthy with dust and the home smelled strongly of fish and dog urine. Further, the home did not have some advertised amenities. The owner, Onnee then came over and we could tell that she was “interesting” (Midwest sense). Her small dog growled at my wife and tried to bite her. Onnee warned that the dog bites. OK, then why bring the dog? Despite the fact that the home was dirty and smelly, Onnee clearly has some an obsession issue regarding other peoples’ germs. First, she asked that all guests remove their shoes in the home. A bit odd for a rental place. Second, she requires doctors to remove white coats before entering the home and lists bacteria that she can become infected with. Weird, right? Then, she started yelling at us because we were not wiping the feet of our dogs. Very weird. She then became completely unhinged and told us to leave the home and go check into a hotel. She was following us around recording with a phone and threatening everyone. She said we “needed to pay” and that we were damaging her furniture because we set a computer bag on a chair while we packed up. My 10yo daughter was literally fearful for her safety. Even though the owners cancelled before we checked in, they attempted to keep 100% of the payment. They are both dishonest and unethical. Luckily, I had all of this documented and 100% of our money was returned by VRBO.

The host is super nice and immediately responsive. The kitchen is great for cooking and nicely equipped. The kitchen-den area is great for gathering, which we did with our adult children. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. The Internet was better than I've ever had in a rental (obviously fiber). The street parking was basically wide open all the time so no problem.

We loved staying at the home in Redwood City while we put our home on the market. Onnee and Brian are great hosts and the space was perfect for us. Would highly recommend if you are visiting the Bay Area or need a temporary living space.
