Photos and Description of the San Francisco vacation townhome rental
Townhome, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-5)

The San Francisco Duck’s Nest is a huge, sunny, 2 bedroom, Edwardian flat which has just been completely renovated in 2010. With walnut wainscoting, inlaid oak hardwood floors, fireplace, and polished brass fixtures throughout, it combines classic San Francisco with all modern conveniences. “If you are going to San Francisco”, and want to stay in a home that truly makes you feel warm and welcomed the minute you enter, with a garage and complete laundry room, and/or enjoy running, cycling, or walking in Golden Gate Park, this is the location!

Most folks visiting San Francisco often spend at least a day visiting Golden Gate Park, the de Young Museum, Academy of Sciences, Japanese Tea Gardens, or strolling through the world famous Conservatory of Flowers. There is something nice about getting up, having a cup of coffee at home (or at the coffee shop around the corner), and just walking to the end of the block to enjoy these activities.

Major Amentities & Features: With The Duck’s Nest as your home in San Francisco, you will have a new 40 High Definition television with home theatre surround sound system, complete with DirecTV/HBO/DVR and a video library of 25+movies filmed in SF, computer/printer/WI-FI, new granite counter tops in the kitchen , all new stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, chef range, dishwasher), a laundry room with new front-loading washer and dryer, new LCD television in master bedroom (DirecTV/HBO/Tivo), and a secure garage with extra storage space for large items (gold clubs, bicycles, kayaks, etc.)

The Small but Important Things: You’ll find all the “small but important” things within The Duck’s Nest to make your stay enjoyable, fun, and special. A master bedroom with fireplace, quiet, and romantically secluded in the back and away from the living and dining room, complete with superior linens and regular/memory foam/orthopedic/Euro pillows. A bathroom with 8 sets of elegant bath linens and plush terry cloth robes. A kitchen with small appliances, cooking utensils, a ceiling mounted pots/pan rack, and a stainless steel preparation table with stools underneath so you don’t have to stand when cooking gourmet meals. A laundry room to do your wash while you sleep, cook, or go out for the day or evening. A living room where you’ll choose between kicking back in a cozy recliner, stretching out on a comfy couch with bunches of pillows, curling up in a huge overstuffed chair, or checking out the French pane bay window seat (somehow folks always seem to like doing this!)

A Place That Feels Like Home: So choose from among The Duck’s Nest sightseeing guide books, family board games, or DVDs from our collection of popular San Francisco movies, perhaps something like Escape from Alcatraz or The Rock if you are planning on visiting Alcatraz tomorrow. Toss a self-lighting Dura-Flame log into the fireplace, curl up on the couch and enjoy.

You’re home in San Francisco.

Perfect SF stay

The Duck's Nest was perfect for my family - 2 adults, 2 kids. We loved the home. It has everything that one needs for a perfect stay. The home is super comfortable and neat. We watched Bullit, one of the many SF-themed DVDs. The location was great for us. We walked to the Cal. Academy of Science. We walked to the train to go the Giants game. I highly recommend a stay here!

Those words fit the "bill" perfectly.
(The below "tongue in cheek" expressions should be viewed as how much we loved our stay at the Duck's Nest.)
If you don't get the drift from all the other reviewers, nothing I say will help you decide. So, this is to Rob...
Dear Rob, I hesitated to write anything, because I became jealous! Jealous that lots of other strangers
would discover this place, and make it next to impossible for us and other terribly appreciative folks to
revisit this wonderful home away from home. Don't laugh! It happened to Tuscany, Carmel, The Hamptons, Lodi! I can't believe I'm actually putting these thoughts and fears into words that others including you, can openly read! I am having serious doubts as to whether I should post this. I had better erase this before I push the "send" button! Ooooops!

Looking for Ahhhs

We just returned from a 5 day vacation with two of our granddaughters, ages 4 and 5 1/2. This magical home became so familiar to each of us that the oldest cried the last day because we had to leave. Review after review tells of the incredible hospitality of the owners, Rob and Diane, and the beauty of this home, but it was the little things that enchanted me; the light through the lace curtain panels ( I'm obsessed with the bird motif lace), the softness of the oversized towels, the comfort of the beds in both rooms, the soft creek of the floorboards, the ceiling treatment, the stories of the history of this 100 year old structure, the day bed that begged me to nap each day, the diverse reading material and the surprise welcome gift all helped to make this a time to remember. I have booked through VRBO for many years now, but I've never stayed in a more beautiful home. From the time we booked, the entire rental process was effortless. We picnicked in the GG park several times, just a 1/2 block walk for the front door. Based on Rob's recommendations, and those of previous tenants ( there's a great guest book for the purpose of providing insider tips to the next vacationer), we used mass transit for almost all of our adventures, including Pier 39 and the Exploratorium. In a sea of properties begging for your attention, this one is a standout. I hope to make it our San Francisco lodging destination for many years to come.

We stayed for a week at "The Duck's Nest" and couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The location was perfect - a block from the best museums in Golden Gate Park and only a block from a major bus line to downtown.
The "Nest" itself was fully stocked (actually better stocked than our own house). It was comfortable, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully furnished. The owner, Rob, was a delight to work with when we were planning our vacation and was readily available throughout our stay. When we arrived, we were even greeted with a bottle of champagne and sparkling cider to celebrate a milestone birthday. We would definitely rent it the next time we're in San Francisco!

We came to SF for a wedding and wanted a little more space than what a hotel can offer. The Ducks Nest was spectacular. The owner from "beginning to end" was helpful and made the process simple. The home was adorable, well stocked, clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood was convenient to tourist attractions, while making us feel like we lived there. Grocery stores are close, and public transportation is a block away. I hope to return soon, and will definitely stay again! I can't say enough about how happy we were with our choice.
