About Lorraine
This has been our primary home for many years. I was a teacher in Sunnyvale for thirty four years, and my husband had an automotive repair business. We are retired now, and like to travel. When we are away, our fully furnished, well equipped three bedroom/two bath single family dream home is rented to others. Our daughter lives directly across the street, and serves as hostess in our absence. We appreciate doing business with our guests and love having a home to come back too.
Lorraine purchased this house in 1998
Why Lorraine chose Sunnyvale
We like the climate and the location. The house is center of a 35 mile radius extending to San Francisco, The Pacific Coast, Montery Bay and the CA redwood forests. Sunnyvale is cooled by a gentle breeze from the San Francisco Bay in the afternoons. It is a short bike ride to the wet lands, and a very short walk to the neighborhood park or other local favorites like Starbucks, Trader Joes, Borders, a work out room, and swimming at the 24 Hour Nautilus or the public library.
What makes this house unique
Because of its central location, play can be easily combined with work, school, family and medical needs. The house is within a three mile radius of Apple, HP, Intel, Yahoo, IBM, Micro Soft, Symantec, Netflix, Moffet Field, Kaiser and El Camino Hospitals and the University of Santa Clara.. It is only nine miles from Stanford Unniversity and San Jose State University.
Bottom line: The house is more affordable than a 5* hotel, more private than an apartment, more spacious than a condo, and more central than most other options.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you so much for your prompt return of our deposit! Everything about the home was wonderful! It doesn’t feel like a rental, it feels like we are staying with friends when we stay there! Thanks again for sharing your home with us! This is a great option for our family, and will most definitely try to rent again, the next time our plans bring us to Sunnyvale!!

Wonderful house in lovely quiet neighbourhood
We had a 9 night stay her in August 2016. The house suited our holiday wishes perfectly. It's in a nice quiet area. Having stayed for 3 nights in a hotel in SF before coming here, we were glad to not be disturbed by fire engines & rowdy passers-by through the night! We found the house to be lovely and spacious, and very clean. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, and we all slept like logs.
We found that the kitchen had all the equipment we required, and it was nice to have good supermarkets a short stroll away.
We were surprised how much warmer and more pleasant the weather was compared to the city.
During our stay we visited the Great America theme park (only open weekends?), which was only a short drive from the house, and was a great day out with reasonable queues. We also took in a concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre (near Google), which again was only 20-30 minutes drive from the house. It was fantastic, and our kids' first experience of open-air music - sitting on the grass and just chilling.
If we holiday in San Francisco again, we would definitely try to rent this house
Very nice comfy home
This is a very well maintained home. The courtyard in front was a great place to relax. Kitchen wonderful and plenty of dishes, flatware and cooking supplies. Wifi speeds pretty good. Nice quiet residential neighborhood, beds comfortable. Some minor wear and tear on carpets but very clean. This was a business trip for only two nights and drive to Santa Clara University only about 25 minutes away. Did not need to contact owner and loved not having a house key - entry was by numerical code that was easy to remember. Plenty of restaurants and Safeway close by. Would stay again.
Very nice and comfortable home
It was five of us. The house was very spacious and comfortable. The owner left very clear instructions allowing us access to the home. My daugters loved the bidet. :)
Unfortunately not what we hoped for
We showed up after driving for five hours and the house had not been cleaned. We had three kids with us and had to clean the house. We cleaned toilets and wash the bedding and towels, washed the counters and showers and wanted to vacuum the floors. The people before us had emptied the trash, but the house was stuffy. We cleaned counters, mirrors and sinks. This is a house of smokers and it smelled like it. The pillows were old and flat and none of the outlets worked. When we turned on the lights in two of the bedrooms they didn't work. We never did get the TV to work in the master bedroom. There was a huge stain on the floor in the master bedroom carpet. And the furniture in the living room was very old and flat. Not a comfortable place for a family to hang out.
Quiet oasis close to SF and Palo Alto
Thank you Lorraine. Your home was the perfect quiet refuge for my entire family during the hubbub of my daughter's graduation. My dad and mom especially loved bird watching in the patio and courtyard areas.
Great Place to Stay
This Sunnyvale home is a great place to stay. The park is close by and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Even though it is about 30-60 minutes away from downtown SF (depending on traffic), it is better than staying in the downtown area and fighting for a parking space. The drive isn't too bad at all. Their home is beautiful. When you step through the gate, you see the private courtyard. I really like the entrance to the house where you could place your belongings. The bedrooms are on one side of the house and the kitchen, dining room, and garage are on the other side. The description of the house is exactly what I experienced.
Their home is cozy, spacious, and well taken cared for. It was great to do laundry and to cook meals. They have everything that you need. The bathrooms are all up to date. Beds are very comfy and the bedrooms have ample closet space. It is about a 3-5 minute drive from the freeway and close to a lot of fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations.
All you have to do is enjoy your stay and clean up after yourself.
Next time I am up there again, I am definitely going to stay here again.
