Spectacular View of the Bay

This property was just as described! Very well maintained and the home accommodated me, my husband and my 2 adult children perfectly. We loved some the retro elements of the home! Our favorite though was the spectacular views from the deck. The deck is very large with lots of seating and views for days. The home had everything we needed and is located right between San Rafael and San Anselmo which was perfect for us. The owner lives downstairs, but we really never saw them. They were super easy to communicate with though! I highly recommend!

Bay Area Visit

Great place! Wonderful views, quiet, clean, and in the middle of everything. There’s a ferry to downtown San Francisco that’s 10-15 minutes away (30 min boat ride to the main Ferry terminal), Muir Woods, Sonoma wine country, Sausalito and more all within a short drive. Comfortable beds after long days sightseeing. Thanks Lee!

Lovely house and super friendly host!

The house is amazing and as pictured. One thing to note though is the recycling rules, please read before your stay so you don't end up sorting trash like we did on our last day (we didn't read carefully until the night before our check out). Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with! We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful place

A lovely spacious house with fabulous views and sitting areas on the back deck and a small garden in front. Immaculate and well-appointed with kitchen necessities, linens, and seating areas. Easily accessible for wheelchair users. Convenient to San Rafael, Highway 101, and Sir Francis Drake. This was our second stay, and we'll book it again the next time we visit the area.

Family trip

We needed a location for a family trip and this was perfect. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. Beautiful views from the deck made sitting out with a glass of wine perfect! Lee was very quick to respond to any questions. Only issue that was stressful was figuring out the trash situation and making sure everyone put the trash in the appropriate containers :) Would definitely stay here in the future.

Wonderful stay in Marin

Members of my family and I had a wonderful week at Lee's house. I lived in the Bay Area for 30+ years and rented the house to host Thanksgiving for members of my family. The house was very comfortable and had a nice dining room for us, as well as a lovely deck. The neighborhood was nice, and there was ample parking. The house was accessible to everything we needed or wanted to do. Lee and his wife were cordial and responsive hosts, and I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Marin County.
