About this house rental

Whether you are vacationing from afar, escaping San Francisco summer fog, tending a nearby remodel or planning a girlfriend getaway, you will feel like you are on vacation in this home. Step inside the gate off a prestigious, quiet, and convenient street and you are greeted with a jewel of a place to relax, entertain and plan your next adventure, although many days you might not want to leave the premises!

All 2200sf thoughtfully planned and now Solar-Powered with battery backup (no blackouts!), this home lives like a dream. Refinished for our family of 5, the master suite is upstairs and the other 3 bedrooms and bath are downstairs. Separate comfy TV/DVR/stereo zones up (living room) and down (family room) mean you can live comfortably as a couple with occasional guests or as a family with teens or younger children.

Also upstairs: dining room (seats 10+ w/leaves), living room (fireplace, TV/DVR), powder room, fully-equipped kitchen w/ice machine and 3-stool bar seating, breakfast nook (seats 6), sun room, two sets of french doors opening to large rear sundeck with outdoor dining table and bench seating area, 3-zone indoor-outdoor stereo system.

Also downstairs: laundry room and storage area. Downstairs has cozy ceilings (about 7') and is partially below grade. All rooms have windows and good natural light, and there is a separate exit to the back yard from the family room.

Premises: The back yard is serene and private and features a pool (unheated 15x30), stand-alone 3-4 person hot tub, a grilling patio and a nicely landscaped faux-grass area bordered by a walnut tree, lemon trees, rose bushes, crepe myrtles and more. Evening garden lights in the front and rear add to the elegant, festive ambience.

Parking: There is plenty of street parking in front of the house and across the street -- never a problem. Optionally, the gravel driveway holds 2 cars end-to-end inside the manual iron gate. Front entrance to the home is a circular brick walk, and paths left and right thru gates around the home are nicely landscaped with ivy, flowering bushes and trees.

We use this home regularly ourselves, and so we can honestly say that this home has everything you need to just relax and enjoy.

Great property for 7 people as a base for exploring San Francisco and Marin County. House was very clean and the decor was charming. Really nice back porch and yard for peaceful evenings. The location was perfect - since we hadn't been to the bay area, we wanted to see the broader area, including downtown San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausolito, Napa and Berkeley. The house was conveniently close to the Larkspur ferry terminal and the Richmond bridge. Appliances were all clean and functional. Only concern we had was lack of air conditioning, but we were out of the house in the afternoons and even in July the daytime temperatures weren't bad. It cooled down quickly in the evening and night (50s). Would recommend to anyone, especially larger groups looking to see downtown, Marin County and Napa in the same trip.

Wonderful, warm, charming home. Very clean and comfortable. Well appointed, anything you need for kids, family, cooking etc. Backyard is 10/10 and was a wonderful place to hang out, my boys loved the turf lawn and the pool and hot tub. Highly recommend this as a Marin spot!

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this very happy and well equipped property. Everything was made easy and we had excellent communication with our host. The house is charming,filled with fun touches and affording lots of different places to settle in and read a good book or take a nap. Would recommend it to anyone but it is perfect for families. The pool was perfect as we hit a few hot days. The whole outside seating arrangement was great. Overall very very satisfied.
