Creekside Casita walking distance to downtown San Carlos

The creek house is on a beautiful tree lined street, walking distance to downtown San Carlos. The house is a spacious one bedroom cottage with designer finishes and gorgeous vaulted ceilings. You will be surrounded by mature redwoods on the peaceful balcony and one with nature at the fire pit overlooking a year round creek. Amenities include a full sized kitchen, comfortable workspace, washer/dryer, fast fiber WiFi, cable TV and a gas fireplace.

The Creek House is a separate structure in the backyard of the property. It is a one bedroom 640 square foot in-law unit. Guests enjoy a separate entrance on the side of the main house for private access. Great for a vacation, family visit, quiet workspace, or staycation. Equally comfortable for a quick trip or a nice long visit. Cottage is surrounded by mature oak and redwood trees. You'll get the beauty of nature with the convenience of a bustling metropolitan area.

We live in the main house on the property.

Peaceful Bay Area base

The creekside casita was a perfect base for our recent Bay Area trip. The house was comfortable and clean, and the grounds were stunning. Somehow, though we were close to peninsula thoroughfares, it felt like we were in the forest. My daughter and I both loved reading on the back chair, at peace amidst the trickling water feature and gorgeous giant trees.

Fabulous House rental

The house is in a very nice neighborhood and was more than we expected. The online pictures are accurate but the area is stunning and secluded. The owners stay in the main house and controlled the outside lighting which we appreciated as we would come home later in the evening and it was adequate for the pathway leading to the house. Definitely recommend staying here as it is close to Sanfransico, Oakland and San Jose. Easy to find on GPS. Hosts are great and asked how we were enjoying our stay when we would see them. We really would recommend staying here and would rent it again if we were visiting again. Saved this on VRBO as a favourite to my profile.

Every thing you need and more. Not missing anything. Hosts are quick to answer and have wonderful happy friendly dogs. Easy to find and plenty of parking if driving. Home is perfectly furnished and plenty of yard seating areas was gas fire pit. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to rebook if in area again.

Beauty and Tranquility in San Carlos, California

Sean and Jen have created Shangri-La in San Carlos, California. The Creekside Casita is in a glorious setting on their property. I needed a home-away-from-home to visit friends I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic. If you like having a deck outside your bedroom, relaxing in the lovely living room, preparing a simple meal in the modern kitchen, sitting in the patio near the fountain, getting occasional visits from their friendly and well-behaved Golden Retrievers... you too will love staying here. Shades and blinds on doors and windows provide privacy since the cottage is across the lawn from the main house and their outdoor entertainment area. Even though there was construction down the block, the beauty and tranquility of the cottage made up for the daytime noise. Looking forward to my next stay. Many thanks to Jen and Sean!

a charming, peaceful oasis

This was a perfect location (centrally located among all of our friends and family spread out around the Bay), but we lucked out -- the cottage is amazing -- a true home away from home! And Sean and Jen are the most gracious and caring hosts.
