Tides and Egrets

A very comfortable and well-equipped place to stay. A bbq grill for cooking on the very large deck and a wood stove to take the chill off in the evenings. Just a few minutes from Pt. Reyes Station and associate restaurants and the grocery store that ...

Very relaxing 3 day weekend

Nice setup with lots of windows and a deck looking out across tree tops; the gigantic hot tub is a few steps away surrounded by trees and bamboo. Charming oasis of calm with bird sounds and breeze. We walked into town across the Olema Marsh - a small...

Amazing Place

We loved our stay here. The deck has beautiful ocean views and was walking distance to the beach. There is a wall of windows in the dining room/living room area so you can still easily see the ocean while inside the house. Joy was super friendly and ...

Short walk to the beach

Wonderful rustic little cottage to stay at. Nice lot and great view. A short walk to the beach and general store. You can hear the waves crashing on the shore right from the cottage. It was a great getaway for rest and relaxation for this short trip.

A great place to stay!

The round house is lovely, clean, well stocked in the kitchen, feels private, and is a sanctuary. The views from the deck are amazing! The hot tub is on the owners deck, but they were relaxed and it felt private. We had a lovely stay and would highly...

Just what we were looking for.

We live in nearby Sonoma and needed a few days change of scenery away from obligtions and too much familiarity. But! We had little time and got lucky when we found this place open for exactly the time we needed lodging. Peaceful, comfortable, welcomi...

Serene (mostly) cottage in fantastic location

My wife and I love this cozy little tree house tucked down towards the end of a small road and bordering Pt Reyes National Seashore. The cottage is tasteful, simple, and comfortable. It's small, but we were perfectly content here, in part because the...

Stinson Magic

We had a simply delightful stay at this Stinson Beach gem. It is adorable! The house is very welcoming and bright, with skylights throughout and a large, sunny garden in the back. We slept like logs in the comfy bed under fleece blankets. The kitchen...

Destination guide

Majestic Marin County

From the salt-washed marina towns that dot the San Fran Bay Area in the east to the redwood-ribbed hills of its western mountains, Marin County is a treasure trove of treats on the edge of the big city. It starts as soon as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge but doesn't finish until you reach the whale-filled fringes of Bodega Bay. Between the two, you can discover colossal sequoias in the Muir Woods National Monument, walk windblown beaches on the Point Reyes National Seashore, or settle in Marin County vacation rentals in quaint mill towns shrouded by woods.

Activities

Adventure awaits in Marin County

Ask any locals of Marin County and they'll tell you just how much they love the backcountry delights of their little corner of the Bay Area. With hulking redwoods shouldering above the pathways here, and wild beaches washed over by surf there, it's easy to see why. You can hike, bike, and drive your way through a lot of it, too, so it's really accessible from the doorstep of many Marin County vacation rentals. Then there are the guided tours of San Francisco city to get involved with, and the whale-watching jaunts along Point Reyes.

Weather

Indian summers in Marin County

Marin County, like the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area, typically gets lovely Indian summers extending well past September and into October. Many locals will champion this period as the single best time of year, touting beautiful scenery, warm days, and slightly lower rates in Marin County vacation rentals. That said, the spring is also wonderful, while the wallet-friendly stays of winter – with their regular rains from December to March – could just free up the dollars you need to enjoy the so-called Paris of the West to its fullest.

Natural features

From summits to the sea in Marin County

Marin County has just about every beautiful section of backcountry you could expect of California. There are mountains, soaring up to the top of the Mount Tamalpais State Park before cascading almost vertically back down again into the roaring Pacific Ocean. There are primeval forests, reaching their heights with the massive redwood groves of the Muir Woods National Monument. And there are long, sandy beaches, running beneath the cliffs of the Point Reyes National Seashore, where whales sometimes splash in the swells.
