Pet-friendly vacation rentals in San Rafael

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.

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!!

Adrian’s place nestled in the redwoods near bodega bay was well appointed and provided everything we needed for our vacation visit to the bay area after living away. Adrian and Scuba were responsive, proactive and even provided some great recommendations such as the old grove of trees nearby for accessible hiking for our young family. Overall the hosts and stay were great and we would absolutely stay here again or recommend to our friends and family.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s! Once you get off her road, there are plenty of side streets and trails for beautiful walks. We brought our baby’s crib and were able to fit it in a walk-in closet adjoining our room. The little one slept beautifully. The upstairs has lovely tree lined views. Kate is a fast communicator and we were comfortable. Thank you, Kate!

Pristine hideaway! Really enjoyed the view and the nearby hiking trails :)

Trinette’s place was everything we anticipated and more. Extremely clean, with tremendous attention to detail, we were comfortable and didn’t lack for anything. We used the pool and sauna each day and utilized the nearby path to walk each morning. A quiet oasis in the heart of a sleepy town which we used as our gateway to Napa Valley and the surrounding area. We see ourselves coming back to this home away from home many more times.

stayed at the house several times before. wonderful place and great location. very well equipped. in other words, perfect!

We enjoyed our Father’s Day getaway filled with lots of family giggles, swimming, sun, and the best company. The home was relaxing and exclusive. We felt like we were in the Italian countryside paired with local Napa valley wine (who could ask for more?!) located near the heart of Napa and the best restaurants/grocery. We would love to come back soon!

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!

The Hidden Gem is what it truly is…..a hidden gem! So beautifully decorated and furnished and so private. You are surrounded by lush greenery and complete quiet except for the birds and the rooster. What you saw on line in pictures is exactly what you got. We all enjoyed every minute. Thank you again for helping to make our niece’s graduation event so memorable. Nancy was great in her responsiveness. Would highly recommend.

I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

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.

Our stay worked great for the 3 days of golfing. We were able to use the hot tub in the evening and the place had all the amenities we needed. Kitchen was well equipped and clean when we arrived. The house had lots of space to kick out and relax. It is defiantly a feel at home place and things are well kept. Nicole was always quick to respond to any question we had. Great host!

Incredible house and location - was an amazing stay!

Our stay at the Deer Retreat was relaxing, quiet, and healing. Very much like a family home. The outdoor spaces were five stars . We enjoyed bird watching seeing over 50 different birds and wildlife abound. Quiet evenings soaking in the hot tub were a favorite. With perfect weather we lounged and enjoyed the pool making our stay more than perfect. We never left the house because it was the complete vacation experience. Plus close enough to town to have food delivered to us with many choices. The best vacation experience we can't wait to return. Check-in super easy which was much appreciated.

Fantastic, beautiful, clean place. Great location. Joe and Mali went above and beyond as hosts, even left beautiful freshly picked flowers in the studio right before I arrived.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at the Mission Hideaway. It’s beautifully designed, well equipped and super comfortable. The location near downtown was very convenient for dining, drinks and coffee, and shopping. Andriana is an outstanding host too. I’ll definitely stay here again.

It was a really nice stay for me and my two dogs. Extremely nice family, and nice quiet & private place. It was unlike most Airbnb’s in that everything in the interior had a personal touch, it was fully stocked to cook, every possible need, both to cook inside & out. Most AirBnB’s have a bit of an “IKEA” feel, this felt like a true guest house, decorated, quality furniture, extremely clean. The drive in was beautiful, and the unit was great to stay in.

Robert and Elizabeth's space in Nicasio is beautiful and was perfect for the short getaway we were looking for. They were extremely responsive to my questions and gave very clear instructions on how to find their home. Also, the bed was super comfortable.

This amazing quiet space in the trees really lives up to the hype. Peaceful and beautiful and gorgeously built with live edge boards and hidden fasteners. The views through so many windows and from the deck are delightful and it's high up enough to avoid most all of the forest creepy crawlies. Having a hot shower and flushing toilet is just a luxurious bonus compared to the usual glamping setup and it's genuinely 15 minutes from restaurants and beaches. The check in was seamless and the quick walkthrough of all the amenities was perfect. As a bonus, the winding drive to within 15 feet of the spiral staircase was a treat and the meandering paths down to the stream were beautiful and shaded. We were in town for breakfast in 15 minutes and even in the foggy night the drive was easily, tough slowly navigated.

David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Incredibly convenient location, easy parking, very comfortable beds, and quiet and peaceful. Nicole is a wonderful, kind host.

It was a great spot for a one-week visit to the area. It's a quiet neighborhood with views of the Bay and beyond. Blake Garden is just a three-minute walk away, and it was beautiful in May. We spotted local wildlife in the area (mostly when driving home at night): deer, raccoons, and a downhill neighbor seems to have a skunk family living in their driveway. The unit itself is perfect for a couple, and the sofa bed was comfortable for a kid of any size. The shared laundry room was available and convenient. We agree with others who have noted that the in-wall space heater was a little loud. This would not normally be a problem for us, as the droning fan creates white noise -- except at certain temperatures, the thermostat would occasionally cause it to repeatedly turn on and off. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if in the area again.
