Fantastic Homebase to Visit with Family

Dina’s property was perfect for our getaway to visit with family. Her home was clean and nicely furnished for my family. We had a great view from the large deck and it was nice to sit out by the fireplace at night to catch up with family. Would definitely stay there again!

Better than a 5 star hotel!!

We had such a wonderful stay at this property in Corte Madera. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and all the amazing amenities. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. Everything was so nice and very well maintained. The patio had such a beautiful view and the cozy seating area with the fire pit was just perfect. We loved it there! Just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Dina!

Beautiful New Vacation Home

This house was fabulous, even more beautiful than the pictures. The views from the deck were wonderful along with the sunsets and the indoor/outdoor space was quite livable and relaxing. It is also extremely well stocked and outfitted with high quality finishes. The owner Dina was very helpful and great to work with. We rented the house for a special occasion weekend and it was unforgettable. We home to come back again and again.

Superb

A fabulous place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. Ultra-modern, clean, great amenities and that view from the deck (wow!), this home has been meticulously restored to provide great comfort and relaxation. So many incredible attractions within 1/2 hour and Corte Madera offers many choices for shopping, dining, farmer's markets and so much more. Dina is a wonderful host and we greatly appreciate her sharing this beautiful retreat with visitors to the area, providing an experience that exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!

Lovely property in a great location

I absolutely loved staying at this property, located in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. The house is perfect for hosting family or a few visiting friends, and I'd say it's even more attractive than the photos suggest. The kitchen is large and beautifully equipped, for those who like to cook--there are even plenty of serving pieces for entertaining a small group, and there's ample space on the deck and around the lovely fire pit. The location is very much central Marin, so it's close to everything from Muir Woods to the Marin Farmer's Market in San Rafael to Sonoma and Napa vineyards. The owner was very accessible and always responsive to any and all questions and needs I had, as was the cleaning/management team. I'm looking forward to another stay in the near future!

Very well kept house in a great Marin neighborhood!

We stayed here for a week while visiting my sister who also lives in Corte Madera. It was the perfect location for my family of 6. You can walk right out of the front door and up the hill for spectacular views of the Richmond, Bay and Golden Gate bridges. You are also a short drive from Muir Woods and San Francisco. The house is very well maintained and feels brand new. The kitchen is well stocked for at-home dining and the entire house is very well decorated for a comfortable upscale feel. The deck and fire pit are fabulous and great areas from which to enjoy the Marin sunshine. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to visit Marin/SF!

PERFECTION!

We just rented for 5 nights for an extended Memorial Day weekend and family wedding. The house is even better in person! Location is perfect, close to everything. The deck was incredible and perfect for family meals from breakfast to dinner with unobstructed views! The fire pit was a bonus and kicks off some great heat for family hang time. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything you needed. We cooked most meals at home. Friends and family heard quickly how exceptional our home rental was, came by for a visit and everyone LOVED! Passed this listing along to other family members that come down to visit. The owner Dina, was super friendly and easy to work with. Angelina the house manager, was very accommodating. **Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fantastic House!

My family stayed at this home for our son's graduation in May. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with fresh flowers, a delicious chocolate treat, and a kind gentleman named Garry who showed us all the lovely features of the house. The house seemed to be new or recently remodeled. We found everything very high-end: the appliances, the linens, fun light fixtures, entertainment system, bedroom office with printer, and bathrooms! We especially enjoyed the very large & beautiful backyard deck, complete with a fire pit and new gas BBQ grill. The view of Corte Madera from the deck was amazing - lots of green trees and beautiful lights at night! We even had the extra bonus of waking up to a deer sleeping among the trees directly below the deck! The entertainment system was great, very high tech and the Internet connection was fast and dependable! The owner was very kind and responsive and sent me extra pictures upon request. We were delighted with the house and will definitely stay again the next time we are in the Bay Area!

Perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable, beautiful, and clean. The pictures of the house are recent, and it's impeccable! I have high standards and expectations on rentals. This house met all of them. It really is just a few minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. Like others have said, the backyard is beautiful. I love to cook, so the kitchen was the draw for me. My only complaint (seriously, just one) was that there was only decaf coffee for the Keurig-like equipment. There was a French press available, but I couldn't find a coffee grinder (pre-ground is an option...I guess). I purchased one, while there. I meant to leave it, but the hubby packed it. Whoops! A minor imperfection for an amazing house. I would definitely recommend staying here....just make sure you take care of it, so the owner keeps renting it! :)

Comfy Corte Madera Home

Clean, comfortable, complete with kitchen and coffee amenities. A very relaxing home away from home. We, stayed at many VRBO properties, and Dina’s place is our favorite. Incredible view of Mount Tamilpais and surrounding Corte Madera town. We enjoyed the sunsets with local wine and cheese hanging out on the large extended deck. This is our third visit to this property and enjoyed a whole month staying here. Our host, Dina, really made us feel welcome and our stay wonderful. We highly recommend this to families who want a worry free relaxing vacation in Marin County. It is conveniently located, and a reasonable drive to the city (SF) and also to the Napa wine countryside. Also, about 40 minutes to SFO international airport. We look forward to our next visit here!

wonderfully relaxed stay in Corte Madera

we had stayed at this property a couple of years back and wanted to book this home for the entire Christmas holiday through New Year's. although the property was unavailable for the full month we initially wanted, the owner, Dina, was kind enough to make the best of our schedule to accommodate us for a portion of our trip. even when our flight was canceled and had to extend, Dina was very helpful in allowing us to adjust our bookings. we stay at many different VRBO properties, and this one is our favorite! beautiful home, very clean, well appointed with the kitchen complete with all the necessary utensils and equipment (you can even choose French Press, Nespresso or Drip Coffee!) and possibly the best backyard deck with an incredible view of the valley and mountains of Marin. on our last day, we discovered the nicest trails just 5min walk from the house! the trail leads to the top of hill that gives you literally a 360-degree view of the Bay Area. You can see both Golden Gate Bridge in the distance and the Oakland Bay Bridge. And far on the horizon... Napa! Incredible! We wish we could stay longer, and look forward to our next vacation in this property! Thank you Dina!

About the host

Hosted by Dina Stolman

Host profile image
We are delighted to share our home with you. We are a native Californian and an east coast transplant who were captivated by the view from this property 30 plus years ago and decided to make it our home.

Why they chose this property

We now split our time between Los Angeles and the bay area. This is our home when we are in this area, and we are happy to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

We love this place because of how peaceful and quiet it is yet how close to all the attractions. We have completely renovated to create a quiet relaxing retreat with all the modern amenities. Whether sitting out by the firepit, catching the sunset over Mt. Tam, or contemplating the quiet as a local hawk soars above the trees, we hope you will feel the same way.
