House vacation rentals 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!

Amazing retreat in the Redwoods - the property is quiet, has beautiful views of the redwoods with both outdoor sun and shade spots, and has a cool interior. Pool was perfect for cooling off on a hot day. I would stay again! We stayed in May, and while the yard was mowed, it had a type of grass that was very prickly so not barefoot or dog friendly - so we weren’t fully able to enjoy the expansive yard space.

What a lovely house! In particular we enjoyed the expansive and fully-fenced outdoor space with our doggos and kiddos - pictures don't really quite do it justice. The pool house worked as a separate nest for the teenagers, while adults used the two bedrooms in the main building. Location is pretty perfect, with just a 5min drive to Sonoma downtown and easy access to main roads. Our host was extremely communicative, and even helped return an item we forgot at the house promptly and without delay. Hope to visit again!

I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.

The Treehouse was a perfect getaway for a family of 8 adults and one child. Surroundings were beautiful. Nature was plentiful. The place had great amenities, kitchen well stocked, and the pool and hot tub one of a kind of !! We all had a great stay !!!

Bill is an incredible host! He is so kind and responsive, always trying to make your stay 10/10. The house is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, spotlessly clean, and well-stocked. If you want a truly peaceful and relaxing place to stay, with a kind and attentive host, this is the place you should stay!

Great find in Sonoma! Well located with easy walks but in a peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of space for our four women on a girls’ trip!

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.

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.

Beautiful home and design in a peaceful environment. Great place for kids of all ages Our daughter loved the trampoline and playing with the house cats. Thank you for letting us stay at your home!

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.

Virginia and Rita’s place was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect sanctuary for our stay in Napa with our family. Our baby and dog loved the backyard!

Patricia's beautiful beach house exceeded our expectations and more! The panoramic ocean views and wrap around deck made us feel like we were floating on the ocean. The home was really well equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and playing some games that were available for us to use. We could easily walk to Dillon Beach from the house to enjoy the sunshine. The home was very clean and cozy and Patricia was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend for a family beach vacation.

My daughters and their husbands joined us at Luke's so we could attend a neice's wedding at Stinson Beach. The setting for the house is beautiful! We loved our brief time in the hot tub surrounded by Redwood trees. The house is eclectic and we all wanted to know the history. Surrounding grounds are magical with pathways and beautiful foliage. A wonderful deck where we languished and wanted to stay! When we arrived it was dark with spotty internet connection. We struggled to find the house. I recommend you arrive with plenty of daylight to be able to adequately follow the instructions. Other than that it was a wonderful experience. Wish we had more time to stay and explore!

Andria’s place was great. Pictures do not do it justice .i have never seen a kitchen so equipped and high end appliances. The view is fabulous the yard is great the home is very comfortable and close to restaurants. Great sunsets.and very private and quiet. Never heard the traffic like others have noted.

Our stay at Hillary and Jim’s was nothing short of amazing. We underestimated just how great our stay would be. The views were absolutely stunning! The hosts were humble, sweet, attentive and give you plenty of privacy. The cleaners do a wonderful job, I was thrilled to hop in the Japanese soaking tub knowing it was clean. Location felt safe and was conveniently located in an upscale neighborhood just outside San Francisco. The weather here is amazing, significantly warmer than the city with less intense wind-plus it’s pretty much fog free! It was perfect coming back from long days in San Francisco to easy parking, a beautiful garden walk down to the bungalow, moon/bridge views over the water and peace of mind you and your belongings are in a safe place. We can’t wait to come back! *China town, palace of fine arts, go car tours, Alcatraz island, hop on hop off bus tours and pier 39 sea lion watching were all hits. McNears park is definitely worth the couple minute drive as well!

I've stayed at this property twice and absolutely love it - right in town and has everything for a perfect stay. Highly recommend for a getaway in beautiful Fairfax!

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!

We stayed at Paula's house for almost 4 months. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Paula’s. Paula is super attentive. My flight arrived late, and she carefully and thoughtfully asked me what I wanted her to buy at the grocery store so that when I arrived at the house the supplies would be ready. The house is wonderful, clean, with lots of light, very spacious and comfortable, particularly the bed on which I slept soundly every night, the closet was ample sized, spacious fully equipped kitchen, large bathrooms, spacious and comfortable living rooms, it has a deck on the front and there is a sunny back deck too. The house is very well furnished. You won't miss anything. A peaceful and spectacular place to relax. It has excellent energy. Paula is friendly and provides great hospitality. Always kind, easy to communicate and helpful. Staying there was like being in a home away from home. I would return a thousand times with a light heart full of gratitude.

We had a great stay at Caroline's Cottage while visiting our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The Cottage is just like the pictures , very nicely decorated and not much clutter . Very comfortable beds with good linens , plenty of towels too . The kitchen is fully equipped to have meals at home if you so wish to do so. The house feels very peaceful and is very quiet , we loved that ! Caroline was a very friendly , responsive and helpful host . We did not encounter a single problem the whole time we stay there. We will definitely be back . Thank you , Caroline for hosting us.

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!!!

What a beautiful home with all the amenities you would want. Easy to find and easy access via lock system. Just pristine clean and decorative. The fact that Kyoto’s place has two full bathrooms is unmatched to any other local property. The host was very responsive ams provided timely response and was very proactive with check in and check out instructions. So many amenities to name. She even left coffee pods. Plenty of clean sheets, towels and blankets. We were 20 minutes to Napa and Meritage resort. The area is quiet and near expressway. The sofabed was extremely comfortable. Do not pass on Kyoto’s place as you will not be disappointed. Thank you Kyoto for sharing your place for our home away from home.
