Perfect home in the Marina

My group of 8 friends loved this home in the Marina. The home is great, the location is perfect, and the host was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book this home again.

Family Vacation

Our family (husband, wife, three daughters, one son-in-law) rented this property for a week. We loved the space it offered (bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas) as well as the neighborhood--walking distance to the marina, farmer's market, Chestnut Street restaurants. The owner is very friendly and checked in with us multiple times before and during our stay.

Great family home

From the first communication, Anne made us feel welcome and then greeted us with chocolate and wine. The house was very spacious and easily slept 6. We had everything we needed including all kitchen supplies, games, Wi-Fi, AV. This is a great house for kids. The house is in a great location in the Marina so very safe and you can walk everywhere.

Family Christmas

Our group of ten had a wonderful stay at Villa Marina. The house was larger than expected and accommodated our group of six adults and four children very comfortably. The children were intrigued with the second inner staircase in the home! Kitchen was on the small side but very well equipped. The hostess was very accommodating to our needs and check in and check out were uncomplicated. Location is excellent…a mere block and a half from the bay. I recommend Villa Marina for your stay.

Awesome house, awesome hosts!

We organized a company retreat in SF and booked this property for our team members. The house felt very comfortable, the location is amazing, and everything was very clean and tidy. Also, The house is fully equipped, and convenient for groups or big families. Anne, the host, was super supportive and present in every detail. She really wanted to make sure everyone felt welcomed and always checked if we needed anything. We had a very good experience!

large comfortable house in the marina

the house is set up well in a quiet neighborhood in the marina, there is some construction going on next door but it was not annoying. The owners are very friendly and responsive, the house is reasonably priced considering San Francisco real estate. We were there for a wedding and would happily go back if needed for a large family.

Spacious house, great location

We had a wonderful stay. 8 Adults and 2 young children, in town for a wedding. Anne, the owner, was very communicative in advance of our stay and very attentive to our needs and even bought a new booster seat and pack and play, just for us. We had 2 full size SUVs that fit in the garage! No parking hassles. The house had so much room for all of us and all our activities. Even a grand piano. We will definitely stay here again.

Outstanding Location and Space

Anne and husband were amazing, caring hosts. Their house is very large, super convenient to everything, 3 blocks from the Bay, and quiet, safe neighborhood. Beds have luxurious pillow topped mattresses, super comfortable to sleep in. Windows open to allow the fabulously cool, crisp, fresh bug free air into the house. Cute little landscaped backyard to lounge, nap, read. 2 car garage to park cars. Great restaurants and stores 3 blocks away. All in all highly recommended place!

Perfect venue to gather with family and explore The City

Our stay in this Marina home was more than promised. We came to celebrate our son’s marriage and wanted a home base for family who came from around the country to join us. The location was central to all of our activities and walking distance to many SF attractions. An easy Lyft to everywhere else. The house itself was roomy and comfortable with a well appointed kitchen and baths and very comfortable beds. The owners were a delight to get to know, responsive and helpful. All in all everything I would hope for in a VRBO home. Our deepest thanks for making our wedding week memorable.

Great Marina District Home!

Large, quaint home, accommodated eight persons well. Beautiful backyard garden and great upper deck off master bedroom. The kitchen is well supplied with everything needed, and the bathrooms have glass doors, no curtains, and all updated. The location is wonderful and very pedestrian friendly. It’s two blocks from the bay, which is very pretty, spotted with sailboats and the GG bridge. On the other block, is Chestnut Street, with delis, local markets, butcherie, and many restaurants. Also, easy walk to the Palace of Fine Arts and the bridge, for a different perspective.

What a treat!

It was truly a treat to stay at this SF home. The layout of the house worked perfectly for our big group. Having the living/dining area next to kitchen is great for everyone to get together after a long day. They are both large enough to accommodate a group of 8 very comfortably. We love the location - an easy walk to the marina, Safeway and the restaurants. If you like to dine in, kitchen has all you need (and a lot more!!) and the grill is a bonus especially with a large group. The backyard is very pleasant if you have the time to kick back and relax. Anne is such a great host! She was available when we arrived to give us a quick tour and was quick to respond to any questions/requests before and during our trip. She thought of every single detail before our trip to make our stay the most pleasant. Highly recommend this place for your next trip!

Review of Fabulous House in Marina District

Our experience at this house was excellent. All features described in the listing were as promised, plus more. And the property owners were attentive and available if needed, and did an excellent job of providing detailed instructions regarding how to enjoy our stay to the max! We had a total of 9 adults and spent 3 nights at the property and there was plenty of room to relax and be together if we wanted to, or be separate at other times because the house is very roomy and well laid out. The location is fabulous within easy walks of the ocean and restaurants. We are very happy that we stayed here and would not hesitate to return the next time we're in San Francisco. Thanks Anne and Gary. Barry and Susan

Idyllic

For our family of 5, this house could not have been more perfect. The owner, Anne, was so kind and generous to my family. She was with us, via text, the whole time to support our stay. The house beds are super comfortable and the house works as a true home for our family. It is exactly as advertised. What a great place. Parking in the garage was a huge plus in SF. So many amenities. Too many to name but clean bathrooms and warm showers were a great start. Kitchen worked well for breakfasts and we ate all other meals elsewhere. Big fridge worked well. When I go back to SF I will rent from here every time. It could not have worked out better for our family. Thank you for a great stay.

Perfect Host, House and Location...!

Draft: We traveled from India on the occasion of our daughter's wedding and needed a base for a fortnight. We needed a house with all amenities - and I mean ALL as the house was to be the base for family travelling from different places. The location in Marina district - excellent neighborhood, close to shopping, the Marina waterfront and central to all our planned wedding activities. The house was a home away from home and much, much more. The house had everything from a 2 car garage, excellent well stocked kitchen, living space, comfortable bedrooms, washing machines, driers, dishwasher, well stocked linen, wifi and AV - in plenty. The host , Anne left detailed information of the house and surrounding areas. Most importantly, she was always available for help / advice as and when we needed it. Her kindness played a major role in making our trip as perfect as we could have wanted. The house had a cheerful vibe and character - making it the ideal base for our trip. Thank you Anne and VRBO...!

Thoughtful host and great stay

My husband, 16 month daughter, and two small poodle mix pups stayed for several nights. Anne, the host, could not have been more thoughtful. She left toy wood blocks for my daughter as well as baby gates, a pack n play, and booster seat. She was extremely organized in the information she provided to us about the home and even left us a bottle of champagne and chocolates. The beds are comfortable and everything is as pictured. The place is much bigger in person. The bedrooms are endless and the art is beautiful. In my third trimester of pregnancy, I very much appreciated the fancy bath tub in the master bedroom. The attached balcony is really a lovely place to sit and enjoy. My dogs enjoyed the backyard. My heart remains in the Marina and it was such a treat to visit. I lived here for many years before moving to the burbs. This home is so close to Chrissy Field, Fort Mason, the Marina Green, and all the delicious restaurants… You could not pick a better location. We had a great stay and hope to be back again soon.

Great Location, Very Spacious, Needed Cleaning

This home is in a great location if you want to be steps from the Marina Green and walking distance to Chestnut Street. We were grateful for the garage parking and garden. It is a very spacious home. Our only complaint was that the home was not cleaned. For example, the wood floors and carpets had debris and dog hair apparent throughout the house, and crumbs and dust on surfaces. The extent of the problem was not an issue of a partial or poor cleaning, instead entire rooms and hallways had not been vacuumed or dusted at all. There was also an issue in the master bathroom, but I will not go into detail about it. We notified the owner who sent a cleaner the day after our arrival. Fortunately, this was an uncommon experience. If it were typical of VRBO, we would stick to hotels.
