Napa/San Francisco trip
Timothy’s Waterfront property was perfect for our family’s trip to visit wine country and the San Francisco area. Our host was exceptional to communicate with and his home is most welcoming. The view from the patio is wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning and beverages in the afternoon and evening. Only wish we had stayed longer!

Stress reducing vacation
Between the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in and communicative host this is already an excellent rental. All the snacks, the coffee bar, the travel toiletries, etc we're easy account and beyond. We loved using the kayaks. Host was very communicative. Pictures are exactly what you get. We had the most relaxing time. Highly recommend.

Amazing House and views- Highly recommend!!
House checked every box on our list (and we’re pretty picky) and then some. Incredible views, awesome amenities- from the coffee bar with espresso, Keurig etc and breakfast goodies, to the snack basket with sweet and savory, to kitchen condiments, and even toiletries! Every kitchen gadget you could want, ice maker and filtered water. Easy to get to San Francisco and surrounding area. Highly recommend! Would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely and well appointed.
Thoughtful ammenities like condiments in the kitchen, coffee bar, and cute snack basket. The deck would be a delight in warm weather. My daughter and I stayed one night and wished we could stay another. I will definately try to book again the next time I am in the area. Stayed in late January.

Best Vacation rental ever!
This was the best Vacation rental that my family has used. So many thoughtful details from the complimentary snacks which greeted us at the door upon entry, to USB chargers attached to the master bed frame. My only minor complaint was the upstairs shower had very finicky temperature control.
