Well appointed home, with lots of welcoming extras. Rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Being on the water is beautiful, made better by the lovely sitting areas on the gorgeous deck. Easy access to so many wonderful places. We'd certainly stay there again if we are in the area.

Napa/San Francisco trip

Timothy’s Waterfront property was perfect for our family’s trip to visit wine country and the San Francisco area. Our host was exceptional to communicate with and his home is most welcoming. The view from the patio is wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning and beverages in the afternoon and evening. Only wish we had stayed longer!

Beautiful home away from home

We absolutely loved our stay. The home was large but cozy and so well equipped with everything we needed. We made many meals in the kitchen, enjoyed a fire on the outside deck, and even used the kayaks in January! Beds were comfortable and linens were clean and warm. The snacks and coffee were very much appreciated. I hope to come back one day. Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.

Beautiful Home…perfect!

My family and I took two weeks and traveled down the west coast. This was one of the most beautiful homes that we stayed in over the two weeks! It was clean and the home owners paid attention to every detail! They had everything that you could think of waiting for our stay! I wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing House and views- Highly recommend!!

House checked every box on our list (and we’re pretty picky) and then some. Incredible views, awesome amenities- from the coffee bar with espresso, Keurig etc and breakfast goodies, to the snack basket with sweet and savory, to kitchen condiments, and even toiletries! Every kitchen gadget you could want, ice maker and filtered water. Easy to get to San Francisco and surrounding area. Highly recommend! Would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable House, great time!

This house has everything you need to be comfortable! Listed for 8, comfortable for 6 adults as there are 3 bedrooms. No privacy for the pullout couch but again, not a problem because we didn't use it.Great welcome snacks and a cool coffee corner with snack, Kpods, Npods and beans! Nice addition, thank you! The house has a great outdoor space on a deadend of the canal. It was raining sideways when we visited but this outdoor space is awesome! We'll be back in the summer to enjoy it! Thanks again!

Best Vacation rental ever!

This was the best Vacation rental that my family has used. So many thoughtful details from the complimentary snacks which greeted us at the door upon entry, to USB chargers attached to the master bed frame. My only minor complaint was the upstairs shower had very finicky temperature control.
