Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in San Rafael

This was, hands down, the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in. As beautiful as the photos are, the place itself is even better. Most importantly, the amenities provided are top notch. The towels are nice, the sheets are nice, even the hair dryer provided was top notch. This felt like the luxurious retreat I was seeking, and I’m so glad I chose to spring for this place over others.

Lovely home!! I will definitely be back. The outdoor shower was such a vibe, beautiful and comfortable furniture, lovely decor and close to town! Great place

Incredible location and perfect spot for our weekend in Fairfax! The house is less than a 5 min walk to the restaurants and bars, and the convenience makes it so worth it. The street outside was busy during the day but quiet at night, and we slept great every night. Highly recommend

We stay in airbnbs for work travel almost monthly. This is by far the most special house. The beds are so comfortable! That is a rarity. It's a fun house with tons of games and a great yard. I can't say enough about how great this house is. You can tell from the start how much the host puts into making sure his guests have a great time.

What a beautiful home. The location is everything! We had the best anniversary getaway and hope to return. Listening to the ocean was so relaxing. The home was better than described and exceeded our expectations. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was amazing! Everything was clean and the home was welcoming. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great responsive and beautiful place better than advertised.

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.

Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

Great location and consistent communication from our host.

Absolutely beautiful spot in a gorgeous and quiet neighborhood but central to so many activities in Marin County. You cannot go wrong!

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!

My older teen kids and I had a great stay while visiting my sister who lives in Mill Valley. There is a nice grocery store and Walgreens a walkable distance to pick up what you might need. Mill Valley is beautiful with plenty of restaurants and great hikes a short distance away and also a quick drive into San Francisco. Stacey was a very responsive host and provided lots of information about the area and helpful hints for those that are first time visitors. Having a washer and dryer was key, so we could pack lighter and bring those layers for the foggy and/or windy days.

Over the past few years I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs, but Renzo’s place truly stands out. It’s a perfect, top-tier experience from start to finish. The stylish interiors, modern appliances, and thoughtful design reflect a beautifully renovated space. What really impressed me, though, was Renzo’s hospitality: the little touches and personalized care made me feel genuinely welcomed. It’s clear that this Airbnb is crafted for each guest, not just a standard stay. If you’re looking for a curated Airbnb experience (not just a place to sleep), this is absolutely the one to book.

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

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!

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

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!

I’m so glad to have found this airbnb! It was in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The place was cozy, clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did have issues with wifi connections and would get bad signal on/off, also had trouble with opening the door (several tries with the code and being able to push open the door), but other than that, everything was perfect! Highly recommend this place and Kristina was awesome! I definitely would book here again if the need arises!

We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

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

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.
