Family visit

We needed a place near my aunt in Foster City and Robert’s place fit the bill perfectly! It’s a cute, beautifully decorated and well-appointed home with a large yard even prettier than in the photos. We enjoyed coffee sitting outside. The train does run through nearby but we weren’t bothered too much by it. Robert was quick to respond to some questions and even brought by some new items. Highly recommend Robert’s place if you need a place convenient located between SF and Palo Alto.

We have family in the area and stayed at the home for location close to our family. It met all our needs. You can hear the trains running from at least 2 bedrooms, so light sleepers should take this into account.

Nice Home

The location for us was excellent. The house was comfortably furnished. It was a little hot when we stayed so we appreciated the A/C. Small downside was train horn noise as the trains went by, otherwise it was a great place. Will stay there again.

Perfect Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at ANDULORE COTTAGE! We were visiting our adult children in the area and wanted a place to have a small BBQ and the backyard was perfect for this. We found the kitchen to be well supplied with everything we needed. We also enjoyed the location, walking to F45 for a workout and Starbucks for coffee. We also walked to the train station. Everything was clean and just as pictured. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Glover

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Robert the owner of Andulore Cottage in San San Mateo. This home has been in my family for over 50 years. The Andulore name was derived from a combination of the first two letters of my parents first names names and adding "Lore" on the end, as to tell their story and pay homage to the home they loved so much. This was the first home they settled in when they were married. I remember this homes as being the happiest place to play and live. It was the center of extended family activities for years and is fondly remembered by those that have visited this charming cottage.

I have worked extensively restoring and updating the interior of this home so that it conforms to modern standards without losing architectural detail and charm that makes it so special. It's like a new home from 1944.

I have worked as a licensed real estate broker since 1997, and a licensed real estate agent since 1987. Over the years, I have leased property for family, friends, relatives and myself as well as sold real estate on the San Francisco peninsula, Silicon Valley, and Pebble Beach along the coast. My interest in film led me earning my BA degree in Film from U.C. Berkeley. I love travel. My favorite places in the world are Paris, France and Florence, Italy. I think it's the architecture and art I enjoy most. Additionally, I love good design, including fashion, interior design, and fine dining at great restaurants.

I welcome you to stay at Andulore Cottage and experience the charm and lifestyle of a time gone by.

Why they chose this property

Andulore Cottage is a special place on the San Francisco mid-peninsula that is walking distance to the Caltrain station in Burlingame. The train can be taken to get to San Francisco, Silicon Valley as well as SFO airport. BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is accessible by taking the train to the Millbrae station and walking across the platform. Caltrain and BART are part of an intermodal station in one location. BART is what one would take if heading to SFO airport, San Francisco, or the East Bay. This home is located between Burlingame downtown and San Mateo downtown where you'll find great places for dining and shopping. Additionally, Safeway, CVS and Starbucks are a short walk just 2 blocks away from this home. The 101 freeway is accessible within about 5 minutes by car.

Adulore cottage has what generally is not available today. It is situated on a large lot and has a beautiful backyard and patio with brick fireplace and charcoal BBQ. Though the house is smaller by todays standards, about 1,000 square feet, it lives large and is in a quiet neighborhood. Occasional trains can be heard in the distance as with the proximity to the Caltrain station. Coyote Point Recreational Center is nearby off Peninsula Avenue. It is a great place for a jog, or just to enjoy the bay front beach, or museum. Napa wine tasting and the Monterey Coast are about 2 hours away by car and can be a great day trip for adventure. Staying at Adulore Cottage will put you in the center of the Bay Area and minutes from everything including the Coast.

What makes this property unique

The garden is what makes this home so special. It is an oasis of calm in busy world.
