We loved the home interior and the location. We had a problem with the overgrown plants on both sides of the very narrow driveway. We borrowed our son’s vehicle and it has scratches on both sides due to overgrown plants.

From the owner: "Hello Kristen, thank you so much for your feedback, Kristen. I am glad you enjoyed the property and the location. So sorry to hear about the plants causing a problem. We do trim them every few weeks, but they tend to grow fast. I will have my gardener go and trim them at the earliest to avoid this from happening in the future. Deeply sorry about the inconvenience this has caused. Please let us know if you happen to be visiting the area again; we would love to host you. Thank you."
The view is amazing. The house is clean and quiet and equipped with all you need. We had a wonderful stay. It was a perfect place for what we needed but would be a challenge for someone with mobility issues or a driver uncomfortable with a narrow and steep driveway.

From the owner: "Dear Susan, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the amazing view and found the house clean and well-equipped. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we appreciate you pointing out the steep driveway. We will certainly add a note to the listing to inform future guests about the steep parking situation and highlight the availability of street parking. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future! Best regards, Evolve owner."
First, the view is extraordinary - you look straight out to the Golden Gate and see the Bay Bridge to your left. This alone is worth the visit.Secondly, the property was as clean as any rental or hotel we've ever stayed in - so nice. Beds are comfortable, towels nice, kitchen fine (we didn't cook much). A small complaint is the limited number of devices allowable on the internet system. We were 6 people - most have a phone, computer and watch - and we had to turn off devices to let people access internet.Make sure to do the Rock Walks in the book available there - right in the neighborhood - and don't neglect the Blake Gardens 6 min walk away in the morning. Very interesting books left by previous guests I assume, well read crowd!

From the owner: "Thank you Jeffery so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the extraordinary views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge, and that you found the property to be clean and comfortable. We appreciate your feedback regarding the internet speed limit; thank you for bringing that to our notice. We are running a Fiber cable so the number of devices should not have been a problem, I will most certainly look into it. We’re glad you took advantage of the Rock Walks and the nearby Blake Gardens! I love books and love sharing them with my guests, I am so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing your experience and tips with future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another visit soon! Warm Regards! Evolve Owner."
Property has great views, is comfortable and clean. Property manager friendly and responsive. Experience can be upgraded by providing decent deck furniture.
