San Rafael, California
Private, mountain view home less than 1 mile from beautiful San Francisco Bay. Just steps from your front door, access over 15 miles of China Camp State Park hiking and mountain biking trails featuring panoramic San Francisco Bay views. Eco-friendly and environmentally conscious solar-powered home with backup batteries that keep things running smoothly during power outages plus EV charger.
The Experience
Take in beautiful China Camp State Park views from nearly every window in the house, or while dining al fresco, or soaking in the salt water hot tub on the back deck. Listen to the hundreds of different song birds and maybe spot a deer or fox at sunset. Haven for nature lovers! Spend the day on a beautiful hike, golfing or picnicking, fishing and/or stand up paddleboarding at one of the many nearby bayside beaches. Biking is built into the fabric and culture all over Marin County, and it was the birth place of mountain biking!
The Space

Fantastic property, everything laid out for ease of use, highly recommended
We have stayed in many vacation rental houses and this was the best we have ever stayed in with our two kids aged 3 and 6 - both indoors (books, toys, etc.) and outdoors (play house, yard to play in, kids outdoor table to eat on). We loved the easy access to run up on the trails in China Camp State Park and great setup for my husband's parents to join us in the downstairs area. We hope to be back!
One of our sons got married and our family all came together to celebrate. We have adult children with spouses and a 10 year old grandson. The house perfectly accommodated us. Very well provisioned and very comfortable!
Such a beautiful location and comfortable home. Bravo!
We had a great family time.
This home is everything you can see in the listing and more. It is in a quiet cul de sac with lovely views, just minutes from a road along the bay great for running/walking. There is plenty of space to be together and still a ton of privacy with two bedrooms downstairs and three up. We were a family of 3 and my brother-in-law’s family of 4, and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. The jacuzzi was fabulous, and my niece and nephew loved the playhouse out back and the toys available in the house. There are markets and restaurants nearby, and the kitchen is stocked for any cooking or baking you may wish to do. Communication with the hosts was clear, friendly, and very quick - and they were gracious about our requests and notes. This place is truly fantastic. We hope to come back!
From the moment we walked in, any worries and stress were released! We loved the decor and the comfort. Our adult children all want a house like this! Plenty of room for all of us! We used the trundle bed for the 3 month old and it worked great since she doesn’t roll. Fun cooking a big breakfast in the well equipped kitchen.
Our group of friends had a great time staying at this property. The location is ~40 minutes outside of San Francisco depending on traffic, and was the perfect location to get to the city and the Napa area. Would definitely recommend staying here!
This property was perfect for my family. We loved all the amenities of the house, especially the toys and playhouse for the little ones. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools one needs and the perfect set up for staying in with the family. The home is in great condition and the decor is very stylish and homey. The communication was execellent too - I received quick replies for questions via text. Overall, I highly recommend this property for a vacation stay!
A perfect place for a family who don't want to be in the heart of San Francisco
What an amazing place to stay and enjoy all aspects of NorCal! The house is so big and well maintained. Super clean and the property manager was super helpful and accommodating. The location is great for trips in SF, Napa and incredible hiking spots in the area.
We had a wonderful time at this lovely property. Great for a group! Thank you!
Great stay for a large family vacation! We traveled with 2 families and 3 kids (4,4 and 6) and it was plenty of space for all of us. The kid-friendly accommodations were some of the best we have EVER had in a vacation rental - without losing the style and polish of a great getaway home for the adults! We enjoyed the backyard space a lot, as there was a charming play house for the kiddos and a great deck for the adults for several wine and cheese nights. We did have a broken shower situation when we moved in, but the owners were VERY responsive and helpful. Hope to stay again someday!
Definitely a place to revisit when we're back in this area. Very clean and lovely property with pretty views. Everything was as described.
This place is beautiful and in a great, safe neighborhood. It is a good spot for a large group (~10 people). Communicating with the host and the check-in/checkout process was easy. We really appreciated the host allowing us to check in early and check out late. We enjoyed our stay here overall.
Great stay with beautiful views, comfortable beds, great new hot tub, outdoor space, and more. I would absolutely stay here again.
Such a welcoming home. Clean, well-equipped w/ an abundance of natural light and fresh air. The kitchen is perfectly situated adjacent to the living room and spills out onto the deck - perfect for socializing w/ friends and family. Bedrooms are large and beds are comfortable. Really a perfect accommodation for a large-ish group. Highly recommended
Everything was wonderful- we truly enjoyed the property, the beauty, the location, the comfort and the hospitality.
