The sunset house is an amazing property in a beautiful and more affluent part of Oakland hills. It is easy to find and get to and there are a myriad of surprises waiting for you when you arrive.
It is wonderful family home, with gourmet kitchen and high-end fixtures like a rain shower, fancy toilets etc. --all of the things. But it also has a serene, understated décor vibe which we found relaxing.
Holy mackerel Batman…. The view from the front porch of this home is a 10. This feature was underplayed and there was no way to explain how exquisite the view is. IT IS THE BEST OF A MOVIE SET. To sit out on the porch and gaze at the sun breaking through the clouds in the morning and get that multicolored sunset view over the water is just, or just the vastness of the bay is breathtaking. It was really fantastic.
There is also a great pool for swimming and the lawn and toys for the kids play area. The cool detached cabana/gym or dedicated workspace if you need to get out of the main house and get some work done.
Wow, WE loved it.
The Sunset house is in a higher-end neighborhood, and it was peaceful. It delivered, thank goodness, NO crazy barking dogs, apartment complexes next door or loud neighbors smoking on their porch all night.

Maria was a great communicator, very prompt and thorough. We had everything we needed for a perfect family time.
If you are heading to the bay area and you want to enjoy where you are staying as much as whatever else you have planned--rent this home. I would say it is the perfect house for a staycation. You really never need to leave-- our family didn’t.

Thank you, Maria and team!!!
