Serene Canyon View Villa • Pool • Hot Tub • Sauna Retreat

Welcome to Your Private Canyon View Escape in Pacifica’s

Perched at the end of a peaceful hilltop cul-de-sac, our gorgeously renovated Pacifica Poolside Oasis offers sweeping canyon views from both the pool deck and upper terrace—perfect for a serene coastal retreat just 23 minutes from SFO.

This thoughtfully designed villa is ideal for out-of-town family reunions, small team retreats, or intimate celebrations like elopements and milestone birthdays. With a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and plenty of space to gather and relax, it feels like your own private boutique hotel—just minutes from the beach and all that the Bay Area has to offer.

This is our family home and our neighborhood. We welcome respectful guests seeking connection, calm, and comfort—but please note: this is not a party house or large event venue. Kindly review our house rules carefully before booking.

The Layout
As you enter, you’ll be asked to remove your shoes—something we do to keep the home tidy for all our guests.

Upstairs (Main Level):
   •   Bright, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas
   •   Three bedrooms: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins

   •   Three more bedrooms: one with 2 Queen beds and smart TV (perfect for kids), two with 1 Queen bed each
   •   One large full bathroom

The home is equipped with strong mesh WiFi throughout, two smart TVs with live cable (including sports and news), a washer/dryer, and ample towels for your stay. If there’s something specific you need—like a particular channel or a high chair —just ask.

Personalized Hospitality

After booking, you’ll receive a short check-in form where we ask about your party—names and ages, pets, any special celebrations, arrival times, and little details like your preferred coffee creamer. We want your stay to feel thoughtful, seamless, and welcoming.

Thank you for considering our home for your getaway—we’d love to host you for a relaxing, beautiful, and memorable stay in Pacifica.

Pacifica is a really fun, pretty, hidden gem in the Bay Area. Do not miss heading down to the great, old Italian bakery in town. Jessica's home was really great for our 3 generation gathering. Terrific deck and dining area. The neighborhood requires thoughtfulness and respect, but I get the impression that these days, rentals are just having to be more careful and responsible, so don't let the detail the owners put into being sure they know who's in their house deter you. We found ownership to be very friendly and concerned with our wellbeing. Great stay!

We stayed at this wonderful home with a small group of 10 friends for a post-wedding gathering, and it was perfect! The neighborhood is peaceful, clean, and truly beautiful, with a charming road view and even some glimpses of the sea, which made for a scenic and calming backdrop. The house itself was immaculate, with clean and comfortable rooms that made everyone feel at home. The spacious living room was a highlight, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The dining area was especially impressive, with a long table and ample seating for our whole group—ideal for shared dinners, conversations, and late-night chats. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils and cooking equipment we needed, from pots and pans to more specific tools, making it easy to prepare meals and host dinners together.] We truly had a fantastic reunion here, enjoying dinners, reminiscing, and catching up in such a warm, inviting space. We loved our stay and would absolutely come back for future gatherings. Highly recommended!

Awesome property for family gatherings with plenty of room to gather together, and spread out when needed. The owners have thought of everything you may need - great amenities for cooking, grilling, outdoor heater, fireplace, big TV, etc... Gorgeous views of the mountains from the patio and upstairs bedrooms. Absolutely comfortable for 2 families to gather with teenage kids to celebrate 80 yr old moms' birthday. 5 minutes drive to pacifica beaches, 20 minutes to half moon bay, 30 minutes to SF. Pool was super fun with pool toys, towels, everything you need to have fun. Cleanliness #1 and interior design is beautiful! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Jessica and Alan's beautiful home was perfect for our multi-age group of 12. The hosts were very proactive, kind, and accomodating -- definitely in the top 10% of my experience with other rentals. The house is extremely well laid out and appointed for two families or a group of our size. The pool was a terrific place to relax for the kids and their parents, in particular. Parking is tight -- but totally workable. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. This location in Pacifica is in a "sunbelt" -- and the weather was awesome. Lovely suburban location but with quick access to SFO and SF. Recommended 100%!

This is a great property! Our extended family stayed at Park Pacifica and we had a fantastic time. The owners were very accommodating regarding our arrival and departure times. They stocked the house with requested foods and snacks (even left a birthday card for my mother). They were a pleasure to deal with. The house is perfect for larger groups - a large, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable living areas. The deck has a lovely view and the heated pool was enjoyed by all. Each morning we walked to San Pedro Park to take spectacular hikes. The house is in a residential neighborhood, but is close to the airport and to San Francisco. It is a great jumping off point for whatever you want to do in the Bay Area.

We really enjoyed our stay with a larger family group (12) celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. The place is beautiful, very clean, and accurate from the pictures. The two living spaces flanking the kitchen in addition to the attached deck provided options to spread out a bit. Jessica and Alan were extremely responsive prior and throughout our stay. We loved the pool and sauna. The kitchen is fairly well-equipped but missing some essential kitchen gadget items-nothing that made it difficult to cook-but things that were used to (I.e. cheese grater, juicer for citrus). Jessica and Alan promptly responded to several requests including purchasing a crockpot, which really was above and beyond, as well as a wine opener. Even their neighbors were friendly and generous. The town is great, close to several beaches (Rockaway and Montera Stare Beach were probably our favorite). Jessica and Alan are more conscientious and thorough than many other hosts, showing that they care about their property and who they host. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful, beautifully decorated property up in the hills in Pacifica with lovely canyon views and a quick 5 minute drive to the beach. We were a group of 8 with plenty of space. With 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the house can sleep 12. The kids and teens really enjoyed the heated pool! Great patio and deck areas. Lots of amenities at this property, which made our stay convenient and comfortable! 5 minute drive to Safeway, Starbucks, etc. About 30 minutes north to downtown SF, where we spent a lot of our time sightseeing. We also explored some beautiful beaches and coastal areas just to the south of Pacifica as well. 45-60 minutes to Muir Woods, depending on traffic. This house is in a quiet, residential neighborhood best suited for families or a group of respectful adults. The home is a split-level (like most in the area, due to the hilly geography), so you'll need to be capable of stairs when you enter to either go up or down. It wasn't an issue for anyone in our group but might be for elderly or others with health issues. Overall an excellent property! We really enjoyed our stay and the whole region. If you can, catch the sunset at Rockaway Beach less than 10 minutes away!

My family and I had a reunion for the first time since the pandemic started and stayed in Jessica and Alan's amazing home for the Thanksgiving holiday. It is no easy task to corral / organize / please 13 people spanning 3 generations so it is high praise to say that everyone in our part was absolutely blown away by the quality of the home and all the amazing attention to details. We were excited by the listing itself but the actual home went above and beyond our expectations. Jessica and Alan were super attentive and communicative throughout the months long process of our planning this trip and were incredibly gracious in providing additional accommodations for our family's many requests. We were also very appreciative of how kid friendly their home was given the three rambunctious young ones in our group. They also provided some welcome snacks and breakfast essentials in the fridge upon our arrival. Overall, everything was super clean and professional. The linens were super soft and luxurious (even more so than many hotels!) and everything was helpfully labelled. We found ourselves want for nothing and felt very well taken care of throughout. We had a minor issue with the heating and Alan came right over to figure it out. Thank you Jessica and Alan for such an amazing family Thanksgiving!

We were able to stay here for a Thanksgiving family gathering and it was perfect. The place was spotless and had enough space, the pool was heated and a big draw for the kids, and the sauna really took it to the next level. The hosts were super communicative and helpful. We all took walks around the neighborhood to stretch our legs and it was great, beautiful and scenic. A perfect stay, I hope we can stay again.
