Charming house located in the heart of the San Francisco peninsula

This house is the owners' childhood home. The care and love that goes into keeping it as a vacation rental shines. The master suite is very large, then connects through a den with "baywindow" and seat overlooking a meyer lemon tree. The den (hardwood floor with rug) connects to the kitchen and the rest of the house which consists of two large bedrooms, hall +bath, dining room and front sitting room (comfy and carpeted). It is all on one level, except for the laundry room which is down 3-4 steps off the den. As mentioned by multiple other reviews, the grounds are typical belmont hilly and beautifully landscaped. We used the herbs in the garden with the owner's invitation for our Xmas pot roast (yum). There are a lot of stairs outside the home, which my 1 year old enjoyed walking (with assistance). There is ample off-street parking (4 spots) if friends visit. I believe the location does require a car to commute to see sights, allow the caltrain is within a short taxi ride. We previously lived in this area and were visiting family.

We do VRBO all the time and have only had truly wonderful experiences. In my opinion, being able to speak with a friendly and responsive owner (like this house's) prior to booking/arrival has been the key to all of our great vacations. Thanks Bill and Susan!

Our family gathered in this wonderful home for Thanksgiving Week. We could not have had a better experience. The owners were responsive and helpful with our initial reservation and plans. They were present to check us in and give us a detailed walk through. The home was immaculate. The multi-terraced yard with blooming flowers, roses, extensive herb garden, lemon and lime trees was divine. The bedrooms were very roomy with excellent beds and the living areas adequate for us to have dinners for 6 and watch holiday ball games. I am accustomed to more kitchen counter space for food preparation but the kitchen was well stocked with all cookware, dishware, silverware, appliances. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch on the hillside watching hummingbirds. Just down the hill is a complete shopping center with every service needed plus a regular and upscale grocery. We had easy access to I-280, El Camino & 101. Our deposit was credited back to our credit card the day after we checked out. The few glitches we had were addressed by the owners on Thanksgiving day, no less. What more could anyone want? We hope to return to "our" Belmont home on our future trips to visit family.

We stayed in this lovely house for 12 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. All the beds were comfortable and the owners generously provided plenty of nice sheets and towels. There was ample space to relax and spread out and a lovely garden to enjoy. The owners provided good customer service and were pleasant to deal with throughout the booking process as well as during our stay. We would definitely recommend this house if you're looking to stay somewhere quiet, outside of San Francisco. The house is conveniently located near shops and restaurants.
