Overview

Just a stone’s throw from San Francisco, with San Francisco International Airport conveniently located in its midst, is the incredibly beautiful and scenic San Mateo County and Silicon Valley region. Located immediately south of San Francisco, bordered on the east by 30 miles of San Francisco Bayfront and on the west by nearly 60 miles of Pacific Ocean beaches, the region is renowned for its pleasant year-round temperatures. Stanford University, numerous high tech and biotech companies and endless parks and bodies of water add to the area’s allure of having “beauty and brains”. From wineries to whale watching, microbreweries to museums, the area abounds with attractions of all kinds. With working harbors and a small agricultural area on its Pacific side, the food here is nothing short of astounding. Numerous award-winning restaurants are located here, all proud to be serving the freshest local products. Furthermore, the heart of Silicon Valley lies here. As a bonus, it is just a 20-minute transit ride to San Francisco to the north or Levi’s stadium to the south, with each stop offering great food, shopping, and entertainment. Imagine touring Stanford in the morning and catching a San Francisco Giants game in the afternoon. We are the perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts, foodies, and fun-seekers. Kayaking, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, horseback riding, surfing, biking, and hiking are all here and photography buffs (and selfie-takers) love being able to snap pics of everything from the giant Redwoods to the Facebook sign at their corporate headquarters.
