You won’t see us unless there is an issue with the house. We're just a text or phone call away. Just holler!

We’re on the end of quiet cul de sac, right on the water. Directly across from Discovery Bay Marina.

We’re a 5-minute drive from Safeway, Starbucks, UPS, CVS. Our local pizza and ice cream place are even closer. Brentwood Farmer’s Market in the summer is a 15-minute drive. It’s the best of the Central Valley - the source of 80% of the United States' produce.

"Great place in Discovery Bay! House was as beautiful as the pictures and very clean with all the amenities you need. Access to the water from their private dock and proximity to the public launch was terrific. Would definitely recommend staying at this Airbnb. Thank you."

"We really enjoyed our stay!! The home was very comfortable and nicely decorated. We especially loved the outdoor deck and spent most of our time there. I enjoyed the morning sunrises from the patio!!! The house was also nice, beds and bedding very comfortable. It is close to a shopping center and walking distance to the Marina Bar and Grill ( which was good). A very pleasant stay!!!! I would definitely stay again!"

Michelina, Novemer 2023

"Matt’s house is one of our favorites. Kids enjoy fishing off the dock and the backyard movie nights are the best. This was our 2nd time there. Looking forward to our 3rd visit."

“If this place is available for your dates, BOOK IT. It deserves a 5-star rating! I booked it due to the acceptance of a dog and to my surprise, there were toys and dishes and treats available and little things like that make a big difference. Pictures are accurate. Our favorite afternoon activity was watching boats launch at the marina right across the water. Having a dock for your own toys is not only convenient but definitely luxurious. We highly recommend Deborah’s place and will book again when visiting Discovery Bay!” - Carlisa & Jason

“Deborah and Matt have a lovely home! We visit Discovery Bay often to visit family, and it was perfect for us. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable home inside and out. The deck on the water was very enjoyable. When not staying with family, their home will be our first choice in the future. We highly recommend it to anyone staying in Discovery Bay.” - Janis
