We had a wonderful stay in this spacious and gracious house--a perfect place to relax, and also a great base from which to explore Marin County. There were three of us, but the house could easily accommodate 6 or more guests (though be aware that every guest beyond two incurs an extra fee). Everything was immaculately clean, comfortable, and welcoming; the patio and dock overlooking the lagoon made the house seem far away from the congestion of downtown San Rafael. We especially appreciated being able to bring our son's dog with us. Communication with the owner was quick and clear.

Had a very nice stay. Loved the master suite. The sleep sofa is in the family room and there is no privacy. It worked fine for us but just something to be aware of because the listing led me to think the sleep sofa was in its own room. The home had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I would have preferred a little less clutter. I was worried about breaking something or putting something in the wrong place and being charged from my security deposit, but all worked out fine.

Backyard paradise

The hit of our vacation were the remote control boats I broughtAnd the fact that my husband could hop in the kayak and retrieve the boats if they were out of rangeOur five-year-old grandson thoroughly enjoyed himself from sun up to sundownThe accommodations were fantasticWe were able to make delicious dinners as everything from pots and pans, etc., were accessibleBeds were comfy. Towels were fluffy. After the baby in the five-year-old went to bed we enjoyed the fire pit. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home away from home

We absolutely loved our stay. The home was large but cozy and so well equipped with everything we needed. We made many meals in the kitchen, enjoyed a fire on the outside deck, and even used the kayaks in January! Beds were comfortable and linens were clean and warm. The snacks and coffee were very much appreciated. I hope to come back one day. Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.

Comfortable House, great time!

This house has everything you need to be comfortable! Listed for 8, comfortable for 6 adults as there are 3 bedrooms. No privacy for the pullout couch but again, not a problem because we didn't use it.Great welcome snacks and a cool coffee corner with snack, Kpods, Npods and beans! Nice addition, thank you! The house has a great outdoor space on a deadend of the canal. It was raining sideways when we visited but this outdoor space is awesome! We'll be back in the summer to enjoy it! Thanks again!
