Sonoma Vacation Rental estate

My friends and I stayed at the property for a week over the summer. In general, the property was very nice. The pool was great. However, we had a few minor issues:
1. There were several dust bunnies and old spider webs. The outside bar and sink had not been cleaned. We recommended the owner hire a new cleaning service.
2. One of the toilets was out of service. Although we had to adjust our plans to meet the plumber, the owner had this taken care of the next day.
3. There were several beach towels and large bath towels available but no wash cloths. We had to buy some at the local drug store.
4. There was no DVD player available. The CD changer was mistakenly marked as the DVD player.
5. The gas grill was inoperable.

We stayed in this beautiful home for one month last summer with our three boys. The home was well above our expectations and the property around the home was above and beyond our expectations. Our family was able to go out into the property and pick from the numerous fruit trees, fruit bushes, and vegetable garden. We also played golf on the property, explored through the wooded area, and enjoyed many outdoor meals on the grill. The pool is relaxing and has plenty of space, beds, umbrellas, and heating for night time purposes. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen is upgraded, and my husband was able to continue running our business via the high speed internet access. The property was quiet and private with a charming long driveway from the security gate to the house.

We were able to drive through town to Sonoma's square in just minutes. The community of Sonoma is most gracious. We felt comfortable at all times. There are a couple of fabulous grocery markets close by where we found ourselves most days buying the freshest organic foods which accompanied our fruit and vegetables from the property. Everything you could need is just a few minutes away.

We enjoyed our tour of the local Benzinger vineyard which is also minutes in a car from the property. There are many surrounding vineyards close by but we chose to take advice from the local wine store on the square where we tasted and bought many wines over the month. We ate out on many nights, found our favorite spots, and became the regulars before we departed.

We took advantage of San Francisco from the property. It was only a 45 minute drive and we loved showing our boys the trams, the pier, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the hilly roads. We also visited many local towns, and were very impressed when we trailed the Redwoods.

I would, and have recommended this property to anybody looking to enjoy what Sonoma and its surrounding towns have to offer. The property is well equipped to be able to have a fun time and yet also surrounds itself with the qualities of calmness that would accommodate people wanting to relax and switch off.

The owners of this property were extremely informative about the property and Sonoma. They gave us plenty of suggestions on where to visit and where to eat. I would love to visit this property again sometime.

This is a really special place. The house was immaculate and well layed out. The outdoor space is huge and the pool was a perfect way to start and end the day. We liked it so much we had a hard time leaving each day to go to the vineyards, etc.! Great value for the money. The owners are very responsive. I highly reccomend this place for all types of renters. The pictures and description don't do this place justice.
