Holiday rentals with a patio in San Rafael

This little hummingbird casita was a home away from home for my two week stay. Very cozy with lovely and comfortable decor. The apartment makes you feel tucked into the hillside above San Anselmo, town is just a few minutes away. I found everything I needed with no surprises when compared to the accurate description. My host, Peg was very responsive to my questions and even took a few minutes to meet in person.

This was a repeat visit for us, our second in 2 months. The location is fantastic. We walk across the street to get coffee in the morning or dinner at night. Alison did a great job decorating the apartment and adding extra touches that make you feel like you're at home. The soaps, linens and towels are all high quality and add a luxurious touch.

Lovely place, small but well equipped and comfortable. A treetop hideaway indeed! Just read the description carefully about access, it's all accurate and if you can't manage 30 steps down to the deck (and back up!) then it's not for you. You can walk from the doorstep right into the Bald Hill open space and on to Phoenix Lake or even Mount Tam, it's lovely countryside so long as you like hills!

Very clean, welcoming place. Alexander’s apartment was very comfortable for 3 adults, with well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Alexander answered my questions super promptly, he is a great host. We highly recommend his place.

Great spot. James was very responsive. There were nice touches everywhere. It felt like I was staying at a friend’s place.

The cozy casita was absolutely amazing. It was perfect for my weekend getaway. I had plans in emeryville it was very close. The details of the casita were well thought out. I felt the love that was put in. Would definitely stay again.

Upsides: Cute little place surrounded by trees and wildlife (cute deer dropped by daily) - walkable to downtown and mountain trails. Lovely window desk to get work done if needed, sunny deck with seating. Lots of outlets! Helpful, accommodating hosts. Possible downsides: 10 min hilly street and (narrow at points) trail to downtown - we like to hike so it was fine but if you're not a hiker, you'll want to ride/drive.

We stay in the welcoming arms of Linda's "Green Queen" whenever we are in the Bay Area...or I should say, whenever it is available because it is so very popular; deservedly so since it is the best, most comfortable, most beautifully appointed vacation rental we have ever experienced over many years of travels and rentals. I have taken to checking her calendar and scheduling trips around those dates to ensure it's availability and our total comfort, pleasure, and convenience. We can't thank you enough, Linda, for creating such an amazing home away from home.

We had a wonderful stay in Pacifica! The home was exactly as described—clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The location near the beach was perfect, with stunning cliffside views and the relaxing sound of the waves at night. It was such a peaceful getaway, and we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

This little treehouse cottage was a fantastic stay, and a beautiful home! Everything was clean, and it had a cozy bed, great water pressure, and dedicated parking; all huge benefits. Not a bad drive into San Francisco. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Beautiful home right in the middle of the dipsea trail stairs - go up the stairs to reach great hiking trails, down the stairs for great restaurants and shopping. Comfortable beds, clean and cozy home, responsive and friendly hosts. Be aware of the somewhat challenging parking - bring the small car. Absolutely worth it, we’d love to come back!

Daniel is the good host, always fast and good response.

Wow - we had an amazing stay and loved Job's beautiful home. The photos barely capture the incredible views. 180 degrees views of Mt. Tam all the way down to the Bay - truly on top of world. Pool was bigger than expected, warm water, great covered porch, VERY nice pool house/bedroom & bath. All beds were super comfortable, everything sparkling clean and living room was such a great and comfy area to watch movies or just look at the view with a good book. Kitchen is outfitted (and labeled) with everything you need. Very close to San Anslemo downtown - which is filled with great lunch spots, coffee shops. So much to do in Marin and this is centrally located (note a steep driveway but we had no issues.) Can't think of a single improvement Job could make. I left something behind and he responded that day that he would ship back to me. One of our most favorite Airbnbs ever. THANK YOU!

What an absolute pleasure to stay at Jewel on the Avenue!! The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could want for a group get away. It’s also perfectly located near downtown. We were initially using San Anselmo as a home base to visit a couple places around the area but we ended up spending a good amount of time downtown. San Anselmo is so lovely!! We will definitely be back. Thank you thank you to our wonderful hosts Geri & Laura!!!

This was a perfect base camp for us for our two day stay in the Bay Area as we celebrated/attended our daughter’s graduation from USF. The home looked as pictured and was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was so cute and we loved keeping the windows open and just feeling the night breeze and felt perfectly safe to do so. The neighborhood was walkable and we found some great wats in the area too.

Nice cozy place and good location.

Perfect stay in Palo Alto! The place was very comfortable and spacious in a peaceful area and in walking distance from the town. We really enjoyed our time there and April and the team were super helpful and responsive to any questions or needs.

Daniel was extremely proactive, helpful and responsive. We had a great time at his place, and would definitely return! Highly recommend

A comfortable and well-maintained space in a very convenient location. The check-in was easy and the hosts were very responsive with helpful suggestions about area attractions. Great trip! Thanks

Nader, We love the Deco and the Vibes of the home. Toilet has heated seats and in-Built Bidet spray for your Ehem-ehems! Toaster,water boiler,many pans, oven, microwave, he has everything u need. I asked about Aircon🙈. We did. not need aircon as The weather is so nice and cold at Night (11degrees 13-18Jun). We loved that Nader is a responsive and responsible host. My 15yr old son had a home accident and broke a hanging light fixture at the dining area as he stood up. We informed Nader of the issue. Super-host asked "firstly, is your son okay? Does he need medical attention? I have a first aid kit in the home". Super-host Wins!!! (Inna haza larizkunna mallahu minnafad. Amiin Amiin Amiin) - our doas to Allah SWT to grant you more Rezki for providing us a safe great home to stay. Boys wanna come back to SFO and re-stay at your home again! Thank you Nader

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and conveniently located. Mill Valley is a beautiful town. I would highly recommend this property.

This place was perfect for a girls trip to Napa. The pullout couch bed was plenty big and comfortable in addition to the king bed in the 1 main bedroom. The bathroom was spotless and updated. The kitchen was also beautiful and updated. We loved being able to sit on the back patio that overlooks the golf course. We were able to get the TV to work perfectly fine and it was nice that we were able to do all of the streaming services. We utilized Uber for the most part going to wineries and dinners and it took about 10-15 mins for cars to get to us but we expected that and left enough time for that. The whole Silverado neighborhood is really nice and made it easy to walk/run through the neighborhood without worrying about busy car traffic. Everything was very clearly communicated from check in to check out and everything in between. Great experience overall and we'd definitely recommend booking this stay again!

I read all the reviews online about Kimberly's place so I knew it would be nice. The large closet was awesome, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen. The only problem I had (I knew this ahead of time) was hearing the owner's kids above us. Most of the time, no problem and never at odd times. I did feel the parents were as courteous as possible for 2 small kids but it was hard to take a nap a couple of times. I am used to a single home so this may play into it. I still recommend their place but keep in mind, occasionally, you hear people upstairs as also written in other reviews.
