Villa Kunterbunt

Wir haben zur Begrüßung zwei große Obstteller mit Mangos, Bananen und Zitronen erhalten. Des weiteren gab es auch noch Gastgeschenke für die Kinder wir waren sehr überrascht und möchten nochmals danke sagen. Es hat an nichts gefehlt selbst Gewürze, Tee, Kaffee, sowie Dusch Gel, Shampoo, Spülung und vieles mehr. Familien mit Kindern ist das eine Top Adresse Liebe Grüße Familie Freiberg

Great “home base” near San Francisco

The Mango house is a wonderful spot for a home base near San Francisco. The location allows for easy trips to the heart of the city or to the many area attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, Point Reyes, UC Berkeley, etc., and Sunny is one of the most attentive VRBO hosts we’ve ever encountered. She is both proactive and responsive, and so very welcoming! We had a great time and look forward to returning.

Great Place!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It is exactly as it is pictured. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the hillside views were beautiful! It was about a 20 minute drive to a lot of the sites in San Francisco and traffic was never an issue. There is also a grocery store about 5 minutes away. The host was amazing! They had the fridge stocked with bottled water and Dim Sum Bakery when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again!

Generosity

The house Manager was very kind and generous. There were many supplies and food waiting our arrival. The house itself was not as large as it looks online but we made it a week filled with family memories. Very thankful to have found a place that allowed that.

Graduation Celebration

We had a need to host all my visiting family AND provide a space for a small get-together, in honor of my University graduation, and the Mango House provided. While there is always a learning curve about needs and provisions, the Mango House and Sunny were very nice and welcoming.

Forever Memories Made

We had to relocate last minute. Luckily the Mango House was available. Sunny was gracious and helpful, making our transition from our last rental to the Mango House easy and painless. She also made our family, and especially our kids, feel like we were VIPs. When we arrived the home was clean, comfortable, beautifully and colorfully decorated, extremely comfortable, and had everything and more that we needed. Totally unexpected, we were showered with welcoming hospitality as Sunny shared delicious snack food, treats, and mangos with us. The home is a perfect distance to SanFran taking no more than 15 mins to drive. We loved playing ping pong as a family in the backyard game room. The backyard was a beautiful little piece of wilderness. The view was gorgeous from the dining area/living room. Honestly, one of our favorite memories of our trip to San Francisco is meeting and being loved by Sunny. She made our kids feel special and happy as she loved them. This home is a unique, very comfortable, and wonderful experience. All of our needs and then some were met. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and home with our family.

Paradise in the Hills

Everything about our stay here was phenomenal! This is a perfect retreat for families wanting to see and experience all of what the Bay area provides without being in the craziness of the city. Beautiful nature and views surrounds the property. Easy access to all areas of interest with a beautiful view and property to come home to at the end of a busy day. The house was stocked to the gills with anything you could possibly need which made our stay worry free. I cannot express enough my gratitude to our host. Her graciousness and generosity knew no bounds. She was highly accommodating to anything we needed and her communication was outstanding! I've stayed at many home rentals over the years for work and vacations and this one is the absolute best that I've been to! When my family and I come back to the SF Bay area we are going to stay here again. Fantastic property with a phenomenal host! I'd like thank her here for everything and for making our stay in the Bay area the best it could possibly be!

Our family magical vacation

We had a family vacation with grandmother, children and grandchildren. It was magical and the property was even better! Sunny was our host and she could not have done enough for us. When we arrived, she sent us lunch and also had a supply of fresh fruits, vegetables and snacks. We have stayed in many homes over the years and have to admit that this was the best. Also, there are enough towels for everyone of us for the whole stay and that is very important to our family. Thank you again Sunny for being such a wonderful, wonderful hostess!

She is a medical scientist with 28 patents, 97 publications, and gave 230 international seminars (including the Nobel symposium in Sweden).

Her second son is the Youtuber MangoTango with over 500 million views and 2 million subs and his travel channel is "From here to there". Her husband is a director at Harvard.

Why they chose this property

Dr. Grace (the owner) who loves this house near Paradise Valley because this house is conveniently located near EVERYTHING while still enjoying the quiet, private, safe, and peaceful neighborhood and near the wilderness with open nature and scenic hills. This house is not too hot and not too cold. She loves the HUGE private backyard for doing Tai chi, dancing, flying kites, playing badminton and gardening etc. She is incredibly lucky to get this unique house. This house is walking distance to state parks, sign hill park, paradise valley, 7 min drive to airport, 13 min to SF city, 5 min to Oyster point Marina, Genentech, Amgen and 217 biotech companies, 20 min drive to SF golden gate and UCSF, and 25 min to UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Nice?

What makes this property unique

Dr Grace believes that - You can always put more money into a house to make it larger and more fancy, but that cannot buy a more beautiful natural location. This house is surrounded by beautiful hills, landscapes and sunsets, and that is something money cannot buy. This stunning turquoise house with HUGE backyard, newly remodeled in 2021 is waiting for you. Come to enjoy its unique design and colorful environment!
