About this property

This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.
This large studio is the lower unit of a house built in 1965. My wife and I live upstairs, above this apartment - You may hear us moving about. Recently renovated with new furniture, the apartment is fresh, light-filled and private. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a private haven.
The small kitchenette has a Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave oven, and toaster. It is not setup for cooking.
Perfect for weekend getaways or even a week of sight seeing in the Bay Area, our apartment offers quiet serenity and comfort.
Relax and enjoy our private deck.

A Step Above Glamping

I do not have enough good things to say about this place! It is clean and quaint tucked into a quiet neighborhood amongst the trees. We loved having our morning coffee on the balcony while our toddler tried to count the trees. The best personalized touch was Susan's artwork throughout. It felt like we were staying at an Aunt & Uncle's place. It felt like upscale glamping but with a full bathroom. Thank you for having us; we will be back!

Excellent location. Very comfortable. Clean. Lovely.

I was reticent to rent here as it only had 1 review. But, as it was the last minute, we had no choice. So glad that we did!!! Of the 3 apts that we have rented in the Bay Area, this one is BY FAR the best of the bunch. Everything in it is updated, clean & well designed to maximize space, aesthetic appeal & convenience. The view is even more lovely than the photos depict & the space is so bright with natural light from the many well-placed windows that it never occurred to us to turn on the lights (except during our pre-dawn departure). But, I cannot emphasize enough the comfort: While we have stayed at some very cute places with brilliant views, this is the only VRBO in the Bay Area we have found that is COMFORTABLE. The bed was so comfortable, but what is more, the hosts even made sure that the fold-out sofa had an extra foam topper to make it especially comfortable (so when I snored my husband out of bed, he had a comfortable place to escape!). I have stayed at rentals on multiple continents. It is a rare host/hostess who is so considerate of the guest's comfort. Other favorites: There were plenty of towels & plenty of towel racks. Sweetest bonus: the hostess is a professional Marin County artist & some of her watercolors grace the walls. Makes you feel less like a customer & more like a guest. One caveat: during the daylight hours, there is foot traffic above your head (as in any hotel). But, come nightfall, the house & neighborhood are dead SILENT.

Great Stay, it Matched the Description Perfectly

What you see is what you get with this place. Very well appointed unit below Mitch's place. We basically didn't know he was home, unless I needed something, then he was very responsive. The location is great, in a very nice neighborhood, with tall eucalyptus trees all around. It's very close to Mt Tam, Muir Beach, and Sausalito and Stinson aren't far. The patio was nice for a nap on the lounge chairs, although those could probably use some padding. The bathroom and shower were really nice and roomy, and the bed was super comfortable. I would definitely stay again, and really appreciated how accomadating and flexible Mitch was, thank you!
