Holiday rentals with a hot tub in San Rafael

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Maurine and the hosts of this AirBNB! This house is truly a gem and exceeded our expectations! We loved everything about this property- from the comfortable, homey setting to the beautiful landscaping and outdoor spaces. Directions and communication were clear and guest friendly. On behalf of the 5 of us, on our girls' getaway, we thank you all wholeheartedly and are already planning on returning next April! Thank you for sharing this truly special home with us. It was a perfect 5 star get-away from beginning to end!

my friend and I stayed at Peter‘s place over Easter weekend, and we just loved everything about it. The home layout was fantastic with one wing having all of the social spaces, dining kitchen lounging rooms with huge windows that looked across both lagoons. Beautiful sunset and watching the sea birds. The other wing had a sleeping quarters in the bathrooms. Everything was pristine and there was plenty of space. One room is a bunk room, which was super fun and the beds were really comfortable. The house is well located and even more beautiful than the pictures Peter was super responsive and proactive we would stay again in a heartbeat. There are such beautiful, calm, peaceful energy, a great place to unwind.

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

I’d recommend an upgrade to the WiFi, but short of that … the property was perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

Book this now! Jim & Deb's place is a cozy place to stay right in the heart of the Mission Dolores neighborhood. So close to Dolores Park & the J line and other various muni bus stops. The place itself has everything you'd need and has been so thoughtfully laid out. Very comfortable bed! Would love to stay here again!

BayMod was my favorite place I have ever stayed (which is saying something as I travel a lot!). The location, amenities, cleanliness, organization of everything was spectacular! I did not want to leave! We loved sitting on the patio looking at the bay. We also really enjoyed the hottub! Truly a magical place to stay! Debra is also exceptionally nice! Can't recommend highly enough!

This place is great! very nice and very cute! the tub outside was amazing!

This was the best experience at an Airbnb in our 10+ years of travel in the US and abroad. Amazing, peaceful, quiet, impeccably clean, easy to access, bedding was amazing, amenities incredible….and even better than the pictures! Loved the outdoor amenities and the host was so kind and inviting. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to CA.

Just wanted to clarify a comment I saw about being fined or overcharged. From my experience, the host was very clear and fair. We originally booked for 7 people but let her know ahead of time that we’d need space for 10. We paid the extra cost upfront and didn’t get hit with any surprise fees—follow the rules and she’ll be a great host. That said, not all 11 beds are full beds. We used the space for a company retreat where everyone expected their own full bed, so a few folks ended up booking hotels or crashing on sofas. But again, the host communicated all of that clearly in advance.

We enjoyed our Father’s Day getaway filled with lots of family giggles, swimming, sun, and the best company. The home was relaxing and exclusive. We felt like we were in the Italian countryside paired with local Napa valley wine (who could ask for more?!) located near the heart of Napa and the best restaurants/grocery. We would love to come back soon!

We booked this place for a family staycation to spend a long weekend doing nothing but relaxing. This place exactly fit the bill. The hot tub was amazing, the pool was lovely and clean. Our little daughter thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The place was clean and well appointed with amenities. Best of all, when we realized we might end up arriving earlier then check in time, Alex promptly set us up to arrive a while hour and a half before time!

Lovely home in the forest, with a lovely view. Had a great time for my birthday. The beds were comfortable and the living space was open and social. Close to both gurneville and occidental. I’d book again!

The property was breathtaking and exactly what we were looking for for a long weekend getaway. Everything was there that we needed for cooking and making it our home. They excelled at communication. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future.

This was the perfect Glen Ellen retreat. Private. Beautiful. Spacious. We loved the indoor/outdoor living and having guests in their own private bungalow. We will definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at this unique home filled with beautiful artwork and creative touches that gives it a ton of personality. Every room has it's own charm as well as access to the garden-like outdoors. The beds are very comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the hot tub and the peaceful setting. The hosts were very friendly and responsive and check-in and check-out was very easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Exceptional hilltop home! Highly recommend. Full wall of windows offers stunning views, and living room and kitchen are flooded with natural light. Immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed throughout. Entire home has a designer touch. Well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, furniture and beds very comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the fragrant, well-maintained spring garden, with numerous blooming daffodils and hyacinths. Walking paths throughout. Geraldine was responsive and helpful, providing great recommendations for local hikes and restaurants that proved spot-on. Geraldine has clearly put careful thought into creating a comfortable, peaceful retreat. Perfect for anyone seeking a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting

We ended our honeymoon trip at Matt’s cabin, and we walked in thinking wow, this place is beautiful and our vision for our sonoma honeymoon experience. Yes, for those unfamiliar with California hills, the driving to the place was a little tricky at first but this was well communicated and nothing to note as a negative. After the first time driving to the cabin, we felt comfortable going in and out. So, if that’s a worry of yours, don’t let it be! The space is beautiful, the beds are cozy, the hot tub is fantastic and ending the night on the comfy couch with the projector screen was everything. Followed by a good nights rest (under a sky light with beautiful stars) to a morning with coffee and a record player. Matt was a great host with clear instructions, and local recommendations. He also checked in during the stay via messenger to make sure all was well. The cabin was within distance to so many restaurants, wineries, hiking trails and activities. We can’t wait to someday stay again!

Wonderful spot! We really enjoyed our stay. Cute and comfortable cabin, loved the hot tub and balcony, close to river access. Chad was super responsive and made everything very easy.

The House was better than the photos-it's very well done. We loved the feather- grass landscaping, the low/no chlorine spa was excellent, and the location was perfect. Lots of beach equipment available as well-this place is a winner! Even with fog, it was enjoyable...Thanks Tim!! Zack and Eleesabeth

I don’t have a lot of experience with Airbnb, this is only the second time I’ve ever had to use this service and I’m so thankful that I found this gem! It was so nice to have a private area and not have to worry about our kids being too loud for people. We’re very thankful that Austin lent us this beautiful space and of course for his amazing neighbor Carl as well!

This is a beautiful space, off the beaten path and fully immersed in a natural setting. The house is very comfortable, my family had our annual family reunion here. Both adults and children were satisfied, and for the most part stayed off their electronics because they were so immersed in outdoor activities. It felt very safe and really close to my favorite Occidental one street downtown. There are cute restaurants I usually love to go to, but the kitchen here was so good, it had everything we needed. I can say more, but I’m running out of characters. Thank you, Kelley and Rick. I hope I can duplicate this vacation again next year.

We have stayed at Nathan’s cottage several times and each time is absolutely incredible! The cottage is so comfortable and beautifully decorated, the surroundings are stunning, and Nathan is so wonderful to communicate with. You just feel surrounded by the nature and beauty of the area. We spent so much time being outside on the lovely deck just soaking up the ambience of the outdoors. It’s such a treat to visit time after time.

We had such a lovely stay. The surroundings are beautiful, and the house is so comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer!

We really enjoyed this lovely, fun place. We especially enjoyed the art at every turn, the many choices of books to enjoy, the games (a few if which we played), the many rooms to enjoy, the multiple decks, the quiet and peaceful surroundings, how close it is to town, the amenities were plentiful, and the comfy bed and bedroom. Communication was easy with Dave (Jack’s son). Lots of stairs, lots of exercise. We appreciate their efforts to be earth friendly and the organic condiments.
