Towel issues

The area and view was breathtaking. The most important things such as, bedding and toiletries could use lots of improvement. Bedding was horrible, old blankets and pillows. Pillows were horrible.. Bed was pretty hard. Futon was very hard also. Towels and wash cloths were the worst I’ve ever used in a rental. The smell on the towels were horrible. The wash cloths were dark in color with bleach stains. I could not believe this beautiful rental lacked so much in blankets, and towels. The towels did not even wrap around my body, they were so little and OLD!!!

This is the 2nd time I have stayed on this property. The owners are wonderful to work with. The property is quiet, clean, organized and the pictures do not do it justice! Very large welcoming space inside and the outdoor wrap around deck is heaven. The views are picturesque. I will definitely stay here again.

This property is clean and located in a peaceful setting with million dollar views, as advertised. Although remote, it still has easy access to all freeways, only 30 min. to SFO Airport. Well equipped for the in- and outdoor living spaces.

The view is amazing!

We went to Hayward to visit family. This was the perfect spot for us to enjoy our evenings. The views were amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. The outside area was truly AMAZING. I wish we'd had better weather so we could've enjoyed it more. On clear nights you can see the bay bridge and SF beautifully. Host was easy to communicate with and the house rules were simple and reasonable.

Stay in Hayward

Overall, everything was as advertised. We enjoyed the large sliding doors to let fresh air in and take in the views. The large deck was a wonderful place to relax. The host took care of a lot of little details that sometimes get overlooked at short-term rentals. There was plenty of towels, shampoo/conditioner, paper towels in the kitchen, etc. Communication back and forth was a breeze which also made the process smooth. I would stay there again if we were in the area.

Beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay very much. We arrived on a very hot day- and there’s no AC, but once we opened all the beautiful sliders and windows, it helped a lot. The next 2 days the temps were lower and it was very comfortable inside. The stairs down are fairly steep- but there is a railing to help- I would definitely not recommend for older folks or handicapped. The decks and porch have amazing views!! The inside is nicely done. We would definitely go back!
