Amazing Views and Walkable to Downtown! Historic 3/2 Home, Sleeps 8
This beautiful, historic, family-friendly house features breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown SF, Belvedere island, and Angel Island.
Located two rows above the famed Paradise Drive, walk to fabulous dining and shopping along Main Street, hop on a ferry to SF, and enjoy everything else this centrally-located SF Bay abode offers:Muir Woods, Napa and Sonoma wine country, SF and North Bay beaches and much more.
Loaded with charm, the house features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests. The bed configurations include one kind bed, two queen beds, and a full-size sleeper futon. The home also contains many family-friendly amenities, including a pack-and-play, play yard, high chair and booster seat.
The upper floor contains a spacious kitchen, dining room and living rooms, all with amazing views of the city and Golden Gate Bridge. The primary bedroom (king size bed) features a walk-in closet large enough to accommodate the pack and play. A large deck on the main floor contains a comfortable lounge seating area and outdoor table and chairs. An additional upper deck offers four adirondack chairs perfect for taking in the sights.
The lower floor features two bedrooms (each with a queen size bed), a full bathroom, and petite playroom. The spiral staircase and larger queen bedroom are separated by a curtain wall (see photos) and also features a French door to a lower deck. Both queen bedrooms offer more amazing Bay and Golden Gate Bridge views.
For guests with young children, a baby gate can be provided at the top of the staircase for safety.
The kitchen contains dishes, glasses, and service ware along with cooking equipment. Appliances include a refrigerator with filtered water, freezer with an ice maker, oven and gas range, microwave, dishwasher, regular drip coffeemaker, toaster, air fryer and blender. A full-size washer and dryer are available for use as well.

A convenient ferry service to SF allows you to avoid driving and parking in the city, and late night ferries are available. Additional ferry services to Angel Island, Sausalito, and Larkspur are also offered just a short walk or drive from the house.
Finally, as is typical with 100+ year old homes, this beauty is not without her quirks! Please expect and be understanding of some crookedness and sloped floors.

Convenient & Clean with Terrific Views
We had a great time staying here. It was easy to check in, the owners were responsive, and the house was clean / well stocked with supplies for our stay. The views are incredible and it is easy to spend time in Tiburon and access San Francisco or elsewhere in Marin from this location.

A little secret
Let me add one more 10 to this wonderful offering. First there is everything everybody else said. I would just add something we appreciate particularly, and that's a decor that is welcoming. The VRBO properties I have liked the best have a certain inclusive air to them. We don't get the sense that we're staying in someone else's house. It's just a nice place to stay, period. That description fits this house perfectly. Very tasteful, yet very welcoming. The other thing I would add, since I didn't see it mentioned yet, there is a gate at the base of the garden that opens on to a public path that gets you to the Ferry and "downtown" Tiburon in about five-seven minutes, walking. You need a car for shopping, but not for hanging out or crossing the water to Sausalito or San Francisco. We look forward to returning!

What a View!
My family and I just got back today after four nights at Loren‘s property, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The home itself was very clean with newer furniture, a very well stocked kitchen and terrific sitting spaces both inside and out. The kitchen had all of the cooking utensils and dishes that you would need, including sharp knives. The pantry was also stocked with some basic necessities like olive oil, coffee, salt and pepper, and individually sized condiments. The bathrooms had many soft, fluffy towels, almost like what you would expect in a nice hotel. The most impressive thing about the house, however, is the unbelievable view that you have from both decks, the dining room, the kitchen, the living room, and the two downstairs bedrooms. This view extends from Angel Island on the left to the entire north side of the San Francisco skyline, to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Tiburon Marina and village on the right. During our four day stay, we saw the fog roll in and out providing us a constantly changing landscape to enjoy. In addition, the house is a 10 minute walk into downtown Tiburon, where there are several restaurants, shops, and a gourmet grocery store. Loren was super responsive during the booking and lead-up to our first day, but we didn’t have to reach out to her during our stay since there were no issues with the house. We would highly recommend this wonderful property with a spectacular view!

All members of our group were very happy staying in this house which is located in a quiet and secure vicinity.
It took 30 minutes with the ferry to get to the heart of SF.
