Loved this Property!
I spent more than two weeks here, and I agree with many other reviews: the property is beautiful, peaceful and spacious - as pictured, with large windows (and shades throughout), well-appointed kitchen and laundry, as clean as can be, private and secure. Host is onsite and helpful but not intrusive, and provided a wonderful selection of welcome snacks. Very close to downtown San Rafael. Near the top of a steep hill, but several choices for driving there.

Functional little cottage
We stayed at this cute cottage while we had our hardwood floors installed. Couldn’t have been more perfect since, it’s in my children’s school district. It was clean, quiet and perfect for what we needed. I recommend this rental.

Perfect Marin Getaway Nest!
We stayed in this location for 8 nights last week. This is a lovely property in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to main roads/highways, shopping, restaurants and recreation. Sandy was was an amazing host and provided everything we needed. Kitchen, bathrooms and all amenities were well appointed and the most organized we have ever experienced in a VRBO. We were staying with our young adult son and teenage daughter and both were cozy and happy with the comfy living room, GIANT bean bag chair and smart TV. The super cute dogs who live on the property added so much charm to our stay, and the lovely fruit trees on the deck provided gorgeous shade to the outdoor dining area. We will be back!!
