Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bolinas

This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

amazing place to stay for a visit to the Bay Area. the backyard is a beautiful secluded Oasis with its own private hot tub. easily walk to the number of spots in the Mission District and Bernal Heights for some outdoor fun. they have a picnic basket packed up with all the supplies you would need so I highly recommend taking that over to Dolores Park on a sunny day to enjoy one of the best views in the city. also highly recommend looking through their recommendation book before hitting the town so you can get an idea of some cool spots to check out. I would 100% stay here again on another trip to San Francisco

Amazing host; will be back!

We loved our two nights at Amy’s place with our two pups! I wish we would have planned to stay longer, there was a lot more to explore in the area! It was SO clean. We usually feel like we need to re-clean just to feel ok in Airbnb’s but Amy’s place felt like we were staying at a friend’s place that we trusted. The homemade delivered muffins were a treat and she gave us some awesome local recommendations. The bed was comfortable and it was super quiet!

This is our second stay at Nancy's cottage and we love it! it is so peaceful and rejuvenating. Lots of birds, even a few owls at night! The cottage has everything we need, with a fully equipped kitchen which we put to good use! Pt Reyes Station is such a fun town to explore, with good food, art galleries, and a wonderful bookstore. And if course Pt Reyes National Seashore is a gem. We spent all day Sunday exploring it. The cottage is the perfect home base for all those fun activities. I am already looking at the calendar to figure out our next stay at the cottage!

We found just what we were looking for; a peaceful and private cabin near the Russian River and with a lot of style and soul to boot. The house was very clean, comfortable and provided some sweet outdoor spaces for dining and lounging. With the heavy vegetation growing below, we didn't have a view of the river, but it was just a quick stroll away. The only downside I can think of is traffic noise along a semi-busy road that's nearby. But it wasn't a buzzkill and we enjoyed the experience thoroughly. We hope to return soon.

What a peaceful and comfortable place to stay to celebrate my mom’s 73rd birthday! Big tv and super soft linens. Beds are comfortable and the place is very clean throughout. So many amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Being surrounded by birds, trees, and flowers was such a treat and the back porch to enjoy morning coffee was superb. Lisa is a great host and I really appreciate that she was patient with me not having any cell service and even shipping my electric toothbrush I left behind! Great stay, highly recommend!

Ryan and James were available and responsive. The cottage was well appointed and immaculate. It was obvious that quite a bit of thought went into the amenities and decor. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The views! Looking over the Russian River where it empties into the Pacific Ocean was awesome! We will be back.

Great location, within driving distance of everything we needed or wanted to see. True to the description, the house is located right on hwy 1, so was rather loud until around 8pm. Regardless, we enjoyed the deck overlooking the road. The place had everything we needed, and we greatly enjoyed the stay. Peter was very responsive - when we had a small issue, he was extremely quick to respond and rectify it for us. We also really appreciated the recommendations put together for eating and sightseeing. Thanks again!

My husband and I (along with our 6 month old and our dog) enjoyed a perfect Fathers Day/Birthday weekend at Dennis's cottage! The location couldn't be better - so easy to grab provisions or a quick bite around the corner at the general store, and amazing to be able to walk to the beach in just a few minutes. The cottage is cozy - just the right size for two adults and a dog - with everything you need. Having a washing machine was extra convenient, and the balcony and fire place made for relaxing evenings. We love Dillon Beach and are so happy we found this place! Don't hesitate to book :)

We loved our stay at the Mill Valley Chalet! We felt super comfortable and at ease right when we walked in - mellow/calming instrumental music was playing, what a nice touch :) Being surrounded by redwoods, in a home made from redwood trees was magical. We loved that we could walk across the street and down the stairs into town. There were various delicious restaurants (we highly recommend Flour Craft Bakery and Piazza D'Angelo) nearby as well as a market and little shops. Super close to incredible hikes in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (NPS) and Mt. Tamalpais too. We really loved sitting out on the decks amongst the redwoods, and even saw a buck with large fuzzy antlers. The kitchen has everything you need including cooking oil, coffee, tea, and spices; the showers had nice water pressure; and the beds were pretty comfortable - the downstairs bed was a little firm, and upstairs medium firm. Matt and Krisztina were easy to communicate with, too :)

Sue was great and proactive in her communication which made our stay very easy. We were able to find the place easy thanks to her instructions and she showed flexibility throughout as well.

Jeri's place is amazing and exactly as described, but in some ways better since you get to meet Jeri. Complete privacy, it's super dark and a stone's throw from Point Reyes. Bed was comfortable, good internet even with spotty cell service in the Point Reyes area. Jeri's communications were great even with a PG&E issue. I'd highly recommend and we're already looking at weekends to be back. And yes, I've stayed in many places in Marin and Sonoma county and Point Reyes might be my favorite and Jeri's place was great!

What a gem! The perfect location on Tomales Bay, with my favorite stretch of it right outside the door. Discover Point Reyes. Antik Al seashore anew! And a very cozy and comfy place, with great beds and everything you need. Our family of four including two small kids had a blast, and we will be back!

Staying in Kathleen’s bungalow is always a special treat. It is well-maintained, exceptionally clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. Kathleen herself lives close by and she is a very kind and responsive host. I highly recommend both her and her cozy bungalow when visiting Fairfax and the surrounding area. – Leslie

I had a great stay, thanks! It’s a small space (essentially a single room), but everything was clean, and its location was perfect for exploring San Francisco for a few days. Angela was also very responsive when I needed a flexible check-in.

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip. It was the perfect place, Kathy was very friendly and gave us so many recommendations around town to check out! The pool and hot tub were very clean and the perfect temperature. She even gave us a welcome bottle of wine and breakfast goodies! Definitely would recommend staying here to all my friends and family.

Nancy was the nicest and most accommodating host we’ve had at a rental so far. We arrived late one evening when I realized I misplaced the dinner I’d packed to eat when we arrived and when I asked Nancy (who was greeting us when we first arrived) about pizza delivery options, she offered us a nice frozen cornbread pizza to cook in the rental. My hungry young son was so relieved. The backyard overlooks an incredibly green and peaceful hillside and we had such a relaxing time. Also downtown Fairfax is so close by and so adorable. Would love to come back!

Jenny is an amazing, sweet and care host! From almost all this 10 years of airb&b she is my favorite. From the date I completed my reservation to the check out was a cordial communication. 100% recommend!!

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

This place is increíble! Hosts were friendly and proactive. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature and the view is unbeatable. The recommendations for hikes and restaurants were spot on. My husband and I had an amazing little getaway and we’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, gorgeous place to stay!

I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

beautiful backyard with hot tub. very quiet area. highly recommended.
