The Suite is detached from the 3 bedroom Villa but is located as a private suite within our larger 5 bedroom Villa with its own private entrance. You access this suite by exiting the 3 bedroom Villa and descending a flight of stairs to the Suite. PLEASE NOTE: The 3 bedroom Villa is yours exclusively. The Terraced Garden Suite is within the larger 5 bedroom Villa on the same property. It is locked off from the rest of that house, but you may hear some household noises from other guests. It does have its own private entrance so there is no direct interaction with other guests. The benefit of renting a portion of our larger property is that you get to enjoy the property at a reduced rate because the total cost is being shared by all guests in all portions of the property. If you are not comfortable with this arrangement, then please consider renting our 5 bedroom Villa I which gives you use of that space exclusively or renting the entire 8 bedroom property so you enjoy exclusive use of both houses. West Coast Villa sits in the hills of Castro Valley overlooking the valley that include our rolling hills, partial views of the San Francisco Bay and Peninsula and many gorgeous sunsets. The 3 bedroom Villa has a great kitchen, and open eating area and living room area, great architectural details, spacious rooms and all the comforts of a luxury home. It is located just two blocks from a grocery store (Safeway) that is open 24 hours a day. We have easy access to freeways and BART. It is located in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. This well maintained home sleeps up to 10 guests in real beds. We provide quality linens and bedspreads. What’s it like?

The living room features two leather reclining sofas. There is a gas fireplace and a flat screen TV. Each bedroom is unique and has 1 queen bed, TV, drawers and closets and a bathroom assigned to it. The Terraced Garden Suite has 2 queen beds and a private bathroom. Due to our unique micro-climate we are often 10°F - 20°F warmer than San Francisco during the day and we normally cool down at night with the early evening fog that rolls in from San Francisco. Enjoy the rear tropical gardens, lemons ripe for picking and a Weber BBQ grill for your enjoyment. The landscaped and manicured gardens were planted by the owners and are for your enjoyment. You are invited to pick fruit for your personal use from our private “orchard.” We have, in season, apples, plums, cherries, Valencia Oranges (for juice) and Naval and Mandarin oranges for eating as well as lemon trees. There are Queen and Pygmy Palms that grace this property. The many varieties of flowers often fill the estate with an intoxicating fragrance of roses, lavender, star jasmine and orange, lemon and apple blossoms. There is something fresh for every season. If you need more or less space check out our other listings. Guest access You should make yourself at home during your stay. Enjoy the gardens, and the outdoor patio. You can expect that either the owners will be living in the larger attached Villa or there will be another family renting it. The rear yard is a shared yard but generally guests in the larger house use a side yard that is more convenient for them. There are parts of the property that are not accessible for guests. The garages are reserved for storage and maintenance items, but there is plenty of driveway parking and street parking for more than 15 cars. The hot tub and patio in the side yard will not be available for your use. They are reserved for guests who are renting the larger house. You have access to free high speed WiFi.
