Kid-friendly vacation rentals in San Rafael

Paulas place is beautiful and relaxing. Lots of great amenities. She was very responsive and kind. Highly recommended

As always, wonderful stay in a beautiful San Rafael neighborhood. Sandy is an excellent host with a lovely home, perfect for a quiet retreat. We always enjoy staying there. Thanks again for everything. We will see you again soon!

We really enjoyed staying at Charlene and Joe’s house. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy meals at home. We especially loved sitting out on the deck right on the water. They are great hosts and great communicators!

Great location and great house. The view of the Marin Civic Center (Frank Lloyd Wright building) was incredible during the day and at night. Walking distance to the Farmers market, Civic Center pond and dog park. Easy access to get to 101 yet in a very peaceful neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Loved the layout of the house and beautiful front yard. We were traveling with my elder parent with a walker and the house was perfect: spacious, walk in shower, relaxing front porch and front yard. I was surprised by all the "back yard" bird species in the neighborhood; their morning song was a delightful way to enjoy our morning coffee in the front yard. Dave is a great host. We had no issues and he was available for recommendations. Thank you Dave.

Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

This was my second time staying at B’s place & it feels like home. Love Fairfax. This spot is walkable to town and hiking trails. What more could you want?

very quiet with beautiful view. hosts were very responsive. place is very clean with modern appliances in working order , washer and dryer are very efficient and quiet. I have back pain and the bed is very comfortable. it is easy and safe to park on the property.

Many livable spaces for two people, 2 living rooms with tv, outside little deck looking over the trees, well stocked, great location near the Civic Center for events, close to downtown San Rafael, and easy short distance on and off the 101. Quite neighborhood, hardly any cars. Would highly recommend and I have stayed in a few Air B n B's in Marin.

Great spot. Quiet & private. Check in & out was easy. I love being able to walk into town.

In the 17 years my parents (now father) have been coming to Mill Valley, this is by far the nicest place he has stayed in. It has the best location, walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and even a grocery store! The best breakfast place is literally right across the street! The unit is super spacious with a full-sized refrigerator and stove and cute little kitchen. There is even a washer and dryer in this unit! The bed was comfortable and the furnishings are lovely! Gary was amazingly responsive, courteous, and helpful with my father’s stay. He is great at communicating and was the best host! My father looks forward to staying here again in the future! Many thanks to Gary for making my father’s stay so memorable!

Incredible little spot over looking the bay with a gorgeous view, loved it!

This was our third time staying here. It is a clean and comfortable space with attractive furnishings and everything we needed for a two-week stay. We will return again next time we return to CA to visit family.

Absolutely loved the stay. The view & environment, both stunning

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!

I book my stays at Chris and Claudia's months in advance because I can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else. The apartment is so cozy and comfortable with a beautiful garden right outside the door. Because Claudia noticed that I don't drink wine, she substitutes a lovely bottle of elderflower lemonade for the complimentary bottle of wine. I refer to this garden apartment as my "home away from home" because I feel so comfortable there.

Needed a place to stay in town to avoid commuting back and forth from San Francisco for a few days. Cozy clean and comfortable home. Will definitely be staying here again when needed. Thank you!

Very responsive and helpful host… would definitely go back and stay there when visiting the Bay Area again

The place is very nice and we had an amazing stay. The host is very attentive and helpful, I highly recommend it.

We love this place, in Pacifica! And people need to know what a great luxury to stay so close to the city in a small quiet town!

This place is stunning and exceptionally clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I was blown away when I arrived; the listing photos don’t do it justice! It felt like home with all the thoughtful touches and amenities Pam provides (well above and beyond the norm). I loved the spa-like bathroom and had some of the best sleep of my life in the super comfy bed. A truly cozy, peaceful, relaxing stay in a beautiful neighborhood! Pam is a wonderful host who puts great care into providing helpful, detailed information to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. I hope to 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!

Eileen and Simon were fantastic hosts. They were always responsive and gave great recommendations for eateries. We also forgot to pack face wash, and he was very responsive and accommodating in letting us use a bottle of his. 10/10 would recommend

The absolute perfect choice for our stay in Napa! The condo was clean, quiet and so comfortable. Debbie went above and beyond with her suggestions, communication throughout and even stocked the fridge with many breakfast goodies for us - an unexpected surprise!

Ehson's place was a little haven during our stay in San Francisco, located in a wonderful neighborhood. As with any old building, you might hear the upstairs neighbors sometimes, but it's all absolutely worth it for the view and the cozy atmosphere. The sunset from the rooftop terrace is addictive. It’s a great spot: you can walk everywhere, and the cable car is right there. There’s also a great little grocery store on the corner, and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
