Vacation 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.

Incredible spot. Lots of space for Alameda, new amenities and very clean. All we could ask for and more!

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.

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.

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.

Linda’s Green Queen was beautiful with a mix of amazing antique furniture and modern conveniences. We had a great visit and it was so refreshing to come back each night to a beautiful and comforting place. The thoughtfulness in even the smallest details was noticeable and appreciated.

We love Maki's place! Quiet, comfortable & the dogs are a hoot. Maki is thoughtful, kind and generous. She helped us find a great ride to the airport, brought us ice when we arrived, and was available on site any time during our stay. The kitchen is beautifully appointed; we love to cook and every possible pan and utensil was available to us. In addition there was good salt and pepper on the counter and the one thing you can't stock for yourself while traveling, a fresh bottle of olive oil. The apartment is a 20-minute walk to the entrance to Golden Gate Park, where you enter (on 14th street) through the Rose Garden. Amazing stay. We're already booking again!

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!

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

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!

Jenny’s house was a perfect spot for our family vacation. The location was central to everything we wanted to do in Marin. Shops, restaurants, parks and the freeway are all so close by and the spacious gated parking was a wonderful bonus. The guest rooms were very comfortable and the many indoor and outdoor common spaces were cozy and inviting.

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

Located in a beautiful valley in the heart of West Marin lies Cow Track Ranch - a working cattle farm that’s in amongst the most beautiful scenery imaginable. The property is located 1.25 miles down an unpaved road which incidentally makes a great road for a jog or walk. The farm dogs are friendly. It’s very dark and quiet at night which is much appreciated. Recommendation to bring the food and drinks you need as there’s no grocery/restaurant immediately nearby. The property is well positioned between Novato, Petaluma, and Point Reyes. We loved every minute of our time on the ranch and look forward to our next stay!

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!!!

Nice cozy place and good location.

The home was beautiful, clean, and relaxing to stay in! We also enjoyed the central location of the Mission, which had lots of fun things to do nearby. I highly recommend staying here!

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

Great place to stay while visiting the East Bay. Beautiful neighborhood: quiet, safe, and easily walkable to a variety of restaurants/shops. Very convenient for public transportation or driving as well. The apartment is spacious for a couple, much more room than you’d have in a basic hotel room. Loren was proactive in sending check-in instructions and provided a thorough guidebook both for the place itself and the surrounding area. No complaints!

The stay at was fantastic! The place was clean and cozy, and had everything needed. Nader's prompt responses and helpfulness were appreciated. Staying here is highly recommended!

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

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.

This is an awesome place to stay at! The scene is beautiful, especially during evening. Direct view of Oakland port and surroundings. The community is very peace and residents are very friendly. The host Kathy is also very friendly and responsive. She answered many of my questions. I like the self-served check-in and check-out, which offers a more flexible travel schedule. The only reminder for other people driving cars with low ground clearance is to watchout for the garage entry. There's a pretty sharp corner near the #3 entrance, so if ground clearance is a concern, you can get into the garage via #5. (My Tesla Model 3 cannot enter via #3 as a reference).
