Location: Marina, San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (View of Alcatraz; can walk to Wharf, Shops, & Restaurants) View Map
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Office, 3 Baths (Sleeps 13-15)
This Mediterranean-style home with a view of Alcatraz lies right in the center of the fashionable Marina district, just one block from the expansive Marina Green and its walkways along the bay, and just two blocks from lively Chestnut Street and its shops and restaurants. Built on three levels at the apex of a three-street intersection, the unique layout of this home allows every room to have lots of natural light. The home is well decorated with lively colors and tasteful art.
The central location in a relatively flat section of San Francisco enables visitors to either walk or bike to Fisherman's Wharf, Fort Mason, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Exploratorium, chic Union Street, the boats surrounding the San Francisco Yacht Club, the renovated beach recreation area of Crissy Field, the promenade to Golden Gate Bridge, as well as the Presidio (with the new Walt Disney Family Museum). The house itself has views of Alcatraz, while from the bay just a block away one can appreciate vast vistas of the entire region north of San Francisco.
The house can accommodate a large family even as its three levels allow for separate "play areas" for some sense of internal privacy. The garage is fully outfitted with a foosball table and a ping-pong table. Bicycles and rollerblades are available.

Owner's Map of Marina
We've had this lovely house for some time now, but career moves have pulled us to Los Angeles for the bulk of our time. We don't want to let go of this house, though, as it's really our "family" house where most of the kids were raised before heading off to college... so we rent it to vacationers when we're in Los Angeles and still use it ourselves when we have time to return to San Francisco.

We had a great time at your house. It worked very well for our family and the wedding preparation. Your house is lovely and we felt very much at home.

We had a great time. Your home is wonderful! We even had a great time looking at the family photos throughout the house and trying to guess relationships. We flew in to San Diego and worked our way up the coast to San Francisco, including a few nights in Yosemite and, of all the places we stayed, yours got the biggest thumbs up from the entire group. We appreciate your sharing it with us.
