Perfect for family gatherings, executive retreats, creative residencies, or refined group escapes, this four-bedroom villa delivers resort-level amenities in a setting that feels effortlessly elegant and deeply restorative. This is not a party house. This is a private waterfront sanctuary, curated for guests who value taste, space, and serenity. THE HOME: The first floor of this residence is entirely available to you, offering a spacious yet intimate layout curated for comfort and taste. Four beautifully appointed bedrooms—each with king or queen beds—invite deep rest, while the 2.5 bathrooms include three showers, a deep soaking tub, and a powder room, allowing groups to move through the space with ease. Natural light fills the living areas, highlighting refined furnishings and warm textures. A tuned grand piano anchors the home, ready for those who play or those who simply enjoy the presence of music. Every room feels purposeful, balanced, and quietly indulgent. WATERFRONT LIVING: Step outside and the experience truly unfolds. The backyard opens directly onto the canal, where a private dock and deck create an effortless connection to the water. Paddleboards and a kayak are available for gentle morning floats or sunset paddles to the bay just minutes away. The pool and spa are framed by lush greenery, offering privacy and a sense of retreat that feels worlds away from daily life. An authentic Finnish sauna overlooks the canal—an experience that transforms cool evenings into something grounding and unforgettable. Whether you’re soaking, floating, or simply sitting with a glass of wine, the atmosphere encourages stillness and presence. DESIGNED FOR TOGETHERNESS: This home is exceptionally well-suited for larger groups who value quality time without chaos. Multiple indoor and outdoor seating areas allow for conversation, reflection, and shared meals without crowding. It’s equally comfortable hosting a family gathering, a wellness weekend, or a focused team retreat. While the property accommodates groups comfortably, gatherings remain quiet, respectful, and intentional. Sound carries easily across the water, and the surrounding community values tranquility as much as we do. GUEST ACCESS & PRIVACY: Guests enjoy full access to the entire first floor of the home, including the front courtyard, backyard, pool, spa, BBQ area, waterfront deck, and dock. Paddleboards and kayak are included. The boat itself is not part of the rental. There is a separate upstairs unit with a private entrance that is occasionally occupied by the host. This space is fully separated from the guest areas. Guests may request full vacancy of the upstairs unit for an additional fee, subject to availability. PARKING & ARRIVAL: The driveway accommodates 2–4 vehicles depending on size and positioning, with additional street parking available for up to three cars. No more than 3 cars can park on the street. Nearby public parking, including an adjacent park lot, is also available for overnight stays. A THOUGHTFUL STAY: Longer stays are welcome, and additional cleaning services can be arranged for guests staying five nights or more. To preserve the integrity of the home and the peace of the neighborhood, house rules are enforced with care and clarity. Parties, ragers, or unapproved events are not permitted. Small, civilized gatherings may be considered with prior conversation and approval. Violations of house rules may result in immediate termination of the stay without refund. This is a home for guests who understand that true luxury is space, water, intention, and calm. If you’re seeking a waterfront escape that feels private, grounded, and beautifully considered, where days unfold slowly and nights feel deeply restful, you’ve found your place. We look forward to welcoming you! OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: This is a rental of the first floor of the residence. There is a separate upstairs unit with a private entrance that is occasionally occupied by the host. This space is fully separated from the guest areas. There are no shared spaces. Guests may request full vacancy of the upstairs unit for an additional fee, subject to availability. The host can arrange additional cleaning service for guests staying long-term (5 days or more). If rules are not honored, guests will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund from the host. It is significant to note that due to some bad apples in the past, we are enforcing rules with greater scrutiny, and ask for honesty and transparency in an effort to help honor and preserve the tranquility of the community, especially with homes across the canal that absorb amplified sound that travels across the canal. Thank you for respecting our community! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 4 accessible parking spaces - Front entrance ramp - In-room accessibility - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible pool - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Foosball table - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Living area | 43-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels, table football](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119670000/119667600/119667582/18ae1e0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### @ Marbella Lane - Stylish 4BR w/ Revitalizing View Linda Mar - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=119667582&PinnedHotelID=119667582&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Aerial view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116880000/116876300/116876202/d7525dfb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 5BR Retreat 8 Beds Beach & Golf Sharp Park - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=116876202&PinnedHotelID=116876202&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, Netflix, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26790000/26782800/26782717/24236b96.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sparkling Clean Luxury 3 BR House Near SF/SFO/CalTrain/BART+EV+Free Parking+WiFi Paradise Valley - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 51 reviews £292 includes taxes & fees 5 Apr - 6 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-05&endDate=2026-04-06&selected=26782717&PinnedHotelID=26782717&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106060000/106051000/106050965/6cc5c393.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Either Way Hideaway Boulder Creek - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 15 reviews £303 includes taxes & fees 20 Apr - 21 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=106050965&PinnedHotelID=106050965&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87980000/87973500/87973435/8bd1b01d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Spacious 4B2B close to SJC airport and SAP Northside - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=87973435&PinnedHotelID=87973435&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46350000/46340200/46340105/4d139ad9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious & Modern 3 Bed/2.5 Bathroom Home with AC & gorgeous views of the SF Bay.

The sun was out each day with both beautiful views on the water, and the property was set up to support our group of 13 girls as we reconnected and celebrated one another. There were ample places to host small activities (tv room, dining room, outside) as well as alcoves for opportunities to reconnect or get some space on your own. I also arranged ahead of time with Sherry to bring a backyard caterer and all the gals had a great time dining near the pool and enjoying sunset. As far as decor and kitchen equipment, this place had it all -- there were two fridges, two dishwashers, and closets full of any bedding/sheets we may need. We had such a great time many of us are considering coming back to make it annual thing. We had a small ant situation at the start but it was dealt with swiftly -- and Sherry took great care to ensure we had all the things that we need to fit even fit our theme of the event well ahead of time and throughout. Highly recommend this place for folks looking for a getaway. ##### Michelle F.

Best Place for a special occassion!! This place was absolutely perfect for my wifes 40th birthday get together with our closest friends. We had so much fun and itnwas just what we all needed for a quick 2 day getaway. This place was Super clean when we arrived and the check in was so easy. We communicate by text and phone with Sherry several times and she is super sweet wish we could have met in person to say Hi, she but made sure we are comfortable and if there was anything we needed to let her know. You really can't beat the view of the bay canal being in a swimming pool/ hot tub during sunset, or sitting in the spa in the early morning at at sunrise. The sauna was definitely cool! The beds were very comfortable and the showers/ tubs in bathrooms are HUGE! There is so much open space in the home made it so nice for everyone to migle around. The girls had a blast on the kayak going up and down the bay canal seeing thr surrounding homes in the area. We definitely want to come back again in the future hopefully! Would rate this more than 5 stars if we could! ##### Gian M.

Fantastic property with a very responsive and helpful host! Perfect for our group of longtime middle aged moms/women whose main goal was to have a quiet place to re-connect. There was a hot tub, sauna and gas fire circle to keep the chilly evenings warm. None of us were brave enough to go in the pool in November but several of us enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking RIGHT off the deck connected to the property. The property is surrounded on most sides by water (the VRBO photo doesn't lie!). The beds were comfy and clean. There was a glitch or two with certain things not working, but Sherry was super responsive to any/all questions, providing timely answers including little videos demonstrating how to work something. Our privacy was respected. The neighborhood felt safe. There was a lovely flat walking path along the water a very short distance from the property. It would work well for a large family/friend group as well - such as Thanksgiving since there were 2 dishwashers and 2 fridges and 2 stoves. Eclectic, peaceful and welcoming decor and landscaping. Felt very secluded and like a real getaway, even though located in a more urban environment. All in all a great property with a gracious host and we hope to be back soon! ##### Nancy P.

The property manager was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Only issue we had was lots of flies in the house. We kept the doors and windows closed but there seemed to be an endless amount of flies. I get that being on the water you can’t avoid flies but some sort of mitigation is needed. Other than that small issue our stay was great! ##### Brian G.

Although the neighborhood made us a little concerned when we were driving to it but when we got there we felt secure. The property is surrounded with video surveillance & once behind the gate of the home you feel transported to a different place. It’s so relaxing, the water, the birds & the ambiance was so refreshing. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Christina R.

The view was absolutely breathtaking—truly one of a kind. Waking up to that scenery every day felt like a dream. The home itself was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed, but what made this experience even more special was the owner. They were the best communicator—so kind, generous, and thoughtful from start to finish. We felt genuinely cared for and welcomed. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming about coming back. If you’re thinking about booking—do it.

The pool and hot tub are nice. Water way is great , so special. The house has a lovely design but could use some maintenance. The kitchen though having dishes for serving 40, doesn’t have large family size pots, nor cooking sheets, vegetable brushes….for people who cook. It did have ants. There’s every kind of appliance but having them all out on the counter leaves no space for food prep ( we temporarily placed some in the pantry to have counter space). Having two dishwashers was wonderful and having two refrigerators too but the freezer in one wasn’t working properly. The BBQs were not functioning properly or needed cleaning but the full range of burners wouldn’t light on one but sent large flames out where it would light. The other one didn’t work . Seemed a safety issue so we reverted to cooking indoors. One bathroom needs convenient outlet locations. Hard to dry your hair if the outlet is at the baseboard. All bathrooms should have plungers that sit in a container (we lifted one and it had “dirty” water going onto the towel left to absorb this. Day one and not from our group). We had a great time by just rolling through these challenges but honestly with some thoughtful attention, better inspection of the place and a few more essential kitchen things, this could be a stellar place. I’d consider returning as the outdoors space and activities are so great but these other issues make me feel the owner isn’t fully committed to making it GREAT. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b6549d05-3ff5-4f3b-a84e-bde4b3555c3f-1748629790029.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joan S.
