The house is perfect. The boat dock is perfect. Launching the boat was easy and convenient.

Great experience.
Excellent property. Well maintained. Would consider staying again.
Location is perfect, secluded enough that you have your own space but close enough to everything on the river that you don’t have to drive far. Great for larger groups as there is plenty of beds. Amazing 360 views from rooftop deck. Host is very personable and responsive. Will be booking again!

Thank you Alexander! So glad you enjoyed your stay!
Great location and house! Walk to dock is a little long but not bad and it’s a quiet beautiful location! Perfect for our needs and love that the owners are so responsive and easy to talk to. Will be staying again. Book it you won’t regret it!

Thank you Heather! It’s so important to be available. We love the peace and quiet too. Look forward to having you back again!
Im hesitant to give this place 5 stars, as I don't want everyone else to find out about it and have it be booked the next time we want to stay here. But seriously, we love this home, the lake, the dock, the boat launch, the fire pit, the supplies, AC unit, and the wifi speeds. Thank you for another great getaway for our family.

Thank you so much Brandon! It’s so nice to have families like yours come back every year!
5 stars all around! What a great river house! Quiet and quaint but great location and has everything you need. The private launch ramp was so convenient and the large doc was perfect for two boats and two jet skis as well as hanging out and swimming in the evening. The owners were very responsive and made the check/check out process a breeze. The house had everything you needed and more like games, Netflix, darts, and foosball!

I was overall impressed with the layout of the house and the size was plenty for my family of 10. The rooftop deck was great for stargazing. My kids loved the outdoor shower! Only downside was the dock was farther than anticipated and the launch ramp had a huge pothole making it difficult for us personally with a small jet boat. Jan was wonderful about communicating.

Hi Denise,
Sorry about the pothole. We will be fixing that this winter. I'm glad the house worked out for you and your family and hope to have you back next year!
Thank you,
Jan
Very Clean and nice, spacious, communicative owners, good value compared to other rentals, sleeps 10 comfortably. Would stay there again.
Only cons, unpaved road to the house, one bathroom and dock not right at property and really not usable because of plant growth. These are not deal breakers though.

Hi Cheryl,
I hear the water has been extremely low for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, with the hot weather and low water levels, the hydrilla can be an issue. Not usually the case in the past few years. Sorry for the inconvienence.
The benefit of being in the NORTHSHORE area, is the peace and quiet which is what we love. Although there is nothing we can do about the road, we will be building a larger house with 3 bathrooms!
We hope you enjoyed your stay and welcome you back.
Thank you,
Jan

We had a blast for old people. Renewed our youth! 😂 Okay that's taking it a bit far.
It was almost like being at home. Believe when it says all you need is your food. Everything is provided for your convenience. So relaxing and a great time on the river. The house nice, clean and homie. Jan and George thank you for the opportunity to share your home. We loved are time here.

Amazing place
The location is perfect and the home is spacious, clean and comfortable...very well kept/maintained. George and Jan are responsive hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and answered questions promptly. There are a variety of DVDs and games for all ages, and the house is equipped with all the basics for cooking. The water is close enough for a quick swim or to paddle around. The private dock and ramp made heading out to the river a breeze! It's quite which we wanted and the views are amazing. Great star gazing too! We had a great time and will definitely be back to stay again. I highly recommend this location!

Jan has been absolutely amazing! I’ve stayed in her larger property before and finally got the chance to stay at this rental, it was everything I hoped for and more. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to cook, relax, and feel right at home. Talk about the most comfortable sofa for movie night!!! The private dock was an absolute game-changer. We never had to worry about crowded launch ramps or pulling the boat out after a long day. It’s the perfect setup, Especially with the kids! we could go out on the water for a few hours, come back for lunch or nap time with the kids, and then head right back out with zero hassle.The lake itself is incredible for tubing and spending quality time together. Most of the time, it felt like we had the whole river to ourselves, peaceful, easy, and just pure fun. You have a beautiful view of the lake right from the house or even the rooftop if you prefer! We enjoyed our morning, coffee out there, enjoying the view :) The location couldn’t be better: close to the Martinez store and gas right across the lake, yet tucked away enough to feel completely private. You can tell Jan truly cares about every detail and goes above and beyond for her guests.If you’re planning a river trip this is it! This property has everything, well with the price, and gives you those vibes that you hope to feel when you go up to the river. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing dock, private access, safe, and FAST Internet
My family had an amazing memorial day weekend at the home. Thank you! The Internet was faster and more reliable than I could imagine. I just wish that it worked down at the dock. Next time Im going to bring wifi extenders to get it down there ;) Also, the houses' AC unit was amazing. Was crazy hot outside, but inside the house, an ice cooler--thank you!
The dock is better than I imagined. We loaded all of our gear on and in the water and left it out the whole weekend, without any concern of someone stealing it.
Also, what I thought was a great perk, was the ability to launch your boat literally right in front of the house. Very convenient.
The only thing people should know about, is that there's a short ~100yrd walk to get to the waterfront and dock. The house is positioned on a small hill about 100 yards from the water, so if you have a hard time walking on sand or dirt those distances, you might want to re-think. We did not, we loved it and will definitely be coming back again and again!

Thank you, Brandon, for such a complimentary review! We keep making improvements each year and hope to add another, bigger house next year and a cement ramp! I thot I had mentioned the walk down, but I will make a note. We always drive all our stuff down. Looking forward to having you again!
Had a great time at the home. Everything you need!
Enjoyed staying here. Has everything you need and is in a quiet location. Home was very comfy and clean. Great views from the home which made it awesome to see the storms that rolled in and out at night! Dock area was cramped between the beached houseboat, jet skis and two other boats and trucks from the other rental home so too tight for us to launch there. It was easiest to use Fishers to launch and drive over. BE AWARE the lagoon has many trees just under the surface so go slow driving in and out! Owner was extremely helpful and professional!!
Had an amazing time at this property. The roof top patio was the best for 360 views especially during the sunsets. Loved the private boat ramp and private dock that is very large. We will definitely be coming back.
We had a great visit on this property. They have many amenities and an excellent location. The owners are friendly and helpful.

About the host
Hosted by Jan Spinali
Our family grew up, and lives, in San Diego. We have been vacationing at Martinez lake for over 30 years. When we found this home for sale in 1992, we grabbed it! We have enjoyed boating and water activities in the summer/fall and hiking, 4-wheeling, and home improvements in the winter/spring.
Why they chose this property
This is a very peaceful property located on over 3 acres(home is located on 1 acre) in the private area of the North Shore . It's great for summer and winter activities, plus the added benefit of having private docks, ramp. It's the perfect place to get away from it all!
What makes this property unique
We have another larger home on the same property, Casa Grande(#2331962). Great for when you have the need to rent two homes close to each other.
