About this property
THE RETREAT : SF ... Sea Cliff, San Francisco - Dreamy Golden Gate & City Views!
You'll never find another property in the world like this one! THE RETREAT : SF is located in San Francisco's exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood. Experience commanding views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, life on the bay, the sunrise, and the downtown city skyline.
Your front yard? Lands End, China and Baker Beach! Here you will dream bigger dreams than ever before!
This newly renovated "rugged elegant" modern masterpiece was designed by renowned architect, Stephen Barlow for the most discerning!
The space
"Best, ever." "World class." "Exquisite beyond exquisite." "Unlike anything we've ever experienced." "The pictures don't do it justice!" These are some of the words the owners hear from their guests.
Up to six adults are invited to enjoy the three primary floors of this exquisite home.
Your one-of-a-kind experience includes:
The Penthouse
• master bedroom with king bed and sitting area - (3rd floor)
• master bath with soaking tub and rain shower - (3rd floor)
• outdoor deck with two chaise lounges and gas fire pit - (3rd floor)
• coffee bar with small dishwasher and two refrigerator drawers - (3rd floor)
• washer and dryer - (3rd floor)
Gaze up at the stars and wake up to the sunrise when you sleep in the Penthouse Suite. Recommended for those who don't mind cool temperatures at night - as this is an all-glass solarium.
Triple View Suite
• Guest suite - Queen bed with view of the Golden Gate Bridge (2nd floor)
• Guest suite - double bed with view of the Golden Gate Bridge (2nd floor)
• Loo with a View - of the Golden Gate Bridge - (2nd floor)
• Den with day bed and view of Land’s End - (2nd floor)
• Den bathroom with shower and bathtub (2nd floor)
The Living Room w/Fireplace, Dining Room, Gourmet Kitchen, Bar

Newly Renovated Home
Originally designed by international award-winning architect, Joseph Esherick is newly renovated, top-to-bottom by architectural designer extraordinaire, Stephen Barlow and owner, Jennifer Carolyn King.
Perhaps you've heard of Sea Ranch just north of San Francisco? Joseph Esherick was responsible for designing Sea Ranch and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Meticulous effort has gone into honoring Esherick's original design while updating every inch of the home, inside and out. Stephen Barlow was the lead architect on Casa al Mare. Mr. Barlow worked for fifteen years as the lead architect for world-renowned interior designer, John Saladino. This is Jennifer and Stephen's second creation together.
(The first is an Africa-inspired home in Kennebunkport, Maine called Asante Sana - also available on VRBO.) Jennifer brings her unique "rugged elegant" design to the interior of both of her homes.
THE RETREAT : SF is modern Rugged Elegance at its best. Barlow and King have honored California architect, Joseph Esherick while combining Italian and Portuguese marble, windows made in Italy, and Wabi Sabi design elements such a Tadelakt plaster, leather treads, handrails and doors.
Rugged Elegance and Kudos Trading Co. (Kudos.tc) founders, Jennifer King & Timothy Fredel have a great reason for sharing their world-class experience: to generate greater awareness and funds for the philanthropies that they are most passionate. 10% of the cost of your stay will go toward one of the fifty philanthropies that the Rugged Elegance Foundation supports.
