Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Marin County

This is an absolute gem of a place nestled in the redwoods. So close to everything yet so far away from the typical city noises and commotion. House has everything you need to enjoy your stay and the hosts are extremely helpful and communicative. 15 min walk to downtown with amazing restaurants and shops. Close to Sausalito, Tiburon and SF. A tourist dream stay here with the Bay Area at your fingertips, or a wonderful staycation for locals. Look no further and worry not about your reservation or hosts. Parking can be a bit challenging with steep hills and narrow streets, but so worth negotiating this one small piece for the peace you will feel under a canopy of redwoods. Lots of space, clean, cozy fireplace, easy entry and has all you need in the kitchen to prepare your own meals if desired. Hosts were wonderful and highly recommend a stay here! Thank you!!

What an incredible home! Beautiful location and close to great hiking trails. Kathleen was a great host!

What a serene respite away into such a calm, beautiful, thoughtful space. Pack what you need and just stay awhile, the environment is one where you never want to leave. Very comfy bed, such thoughtful decor, and a calming outdoor space. It's tucked into a little neighborhood in Bolinas with dirt roads and the best smells imaginable : ) that's west Marin for you. Alina is an incredible host.

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!

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

Naomi's place was great! They were very responsive and the space was beautiful and fit all 6 of us nicely.

The surrounding area of the airstream was extremely peaceful and it was really nice to be so close to nature. The airstream was extremely cozy and it felt right at home. The outdoor shower as well as the barbecue grill were great amenities. There was a hammock outside by the trees and it was super relaxing to chill there. A rather close hike, about 30 minutes, to Muir Woods and we got to save on parking reservations. Would highly recommend and definitely coming back to stay here.

Jessie’s place was incredible - clean, cozy, comfortable and completely walkable to the beautiful town. We stayed with our 3 month old and had everything we needed. The rooms are spacious and beds were super comfortable. Despite having neighbors close by and upstairs guests, we found it to be extremely quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend.

I’m a repeat customer and hopefully will return again in December. I don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Great location and consistent communication from our host.

Cute little unit that was very clean when we arrived. Bed was very comfy and we had a great little trip!

Great location. Easy walk to Whole Foods, Safeway and several restaurants and coffee shops. Close to Muir Woods, and Tamalpais State Park and easy drive to San Francisco. Multiple hikes are close by. The place is clean and comfortable. I would recommend Dawn’s place for a couple or individual, it would be tight for any more.

Wow! Joel and Jane are absolutely spectacular hosts. Their property is a little Oasis in Marin county that was peaceful, revitalizing and in such a great location to walk to town or get to excellent bike riding. The unit truly felt like a suite in a luxury hotel with beautiful art work through out, comfortable linen and bed, and excellent bathroom amenities. We even checked in to find fresh flowers, wine and some breakfast essentials in the fridge. We really can't stress enough how wonderful our stay was and couldn't recommend it more!

Loved this place - it was cozy and nicely appointed. The bed and bedding were really comfortable, and there were two bookshelves with a wonderful eclectic selection of books to read and/or borrow. So fun! And for being 1/2 block from downtown Fairfax, it felt quiet and private. Really a great place!

I had a great 4 day stay at Steve's place. It was well located in a safe and pretty neighborhood, and I had no problem walking into downtown when I wanted to. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Kitchen was also well stocked and very useful. Thanks!

Fantastic location walking distance to a great cafe, ice cream, a market and Italian food. My younger kids especially enjoyed the playground nestled in the redwoods just a couple of blocks away. Management was very responsive and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of linens. We passed the garage about 4 times before we found it and the spots were tight. Also be aware of the many stairs required to reach the unit. We loved our stay regardless and would stay again!

My partner and I were traveling through Marin, Sonoma, and San Francisco for an extended weekend getaway. Jay and Crystal were wonderful hosts—warm, friendly, and communicative—and their home was perfect for us. We were looking for a peaceful, restorative space to return to after long days spent in the forest, on the beach, and exploring the city. Their place was exactly that. I’d recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for the same. <3

Lovely place with a great view over San Francisco. I liked the walk to the ferry and the many opportunities for running around Sarah's place. I saw more wildlife than I would have expected, and there was plenty to explore for such a quiet place. Sarah could not have been more helpful when it came to arrangements. Everything was very smooth and uncomplicated.

This place is a studio, comfortable for two people. Close to public transport, shops etc, with friendly neighborhood. The host is very compassionate, promptly/quickly responds to guest's requirements and queries. I stayed there for a month and found no flaws.

Quiet, good location and exactly what we needed.

Very comfortable and quiet place! It was the perfect location for two days stay. Carole was respectful and we felt like we had a lot of privacy. Her dogs - Charlie and Tully - were very well behaved. The neighbourhood was peaceful and was easy to find on street parking.

The room was cozy and spotless and had a lovely balcony with a stunning view. Steffi was an incredible host—super communicative and always ready to help. She shared great tips for hiking and exploring the area, making my stay even better. I feel like I’ve made a new friend, and I’ll definitely be back!

I highly recommend staying at Gillian’s place in Mill Valley. My friends and I truly enjoyed our girls weekend there. The place is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and very clean. Gillian provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. I will definitely stay again in the future. We really loved the location!

A beautiful location and the home has beautiful views. Pete was responsive and worked it out so we could check in early enough to get ready for an afternoon wedding. Excellent selection of family games that we enjoyed. I highly recommend the location and the home!!
