Wonderful, warm, charming home. Very clean and comfortable. Well appointed, anything you need for kids, family, cooking etc. Backyard is 10/10 and was a wonderful place to hang out, my boys loved the turf lawn and the pool and hot tub. Highly recommend this as a Marin spot!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the host was responsive when we reached out to him. The kitchen is well stocked. It suited our needs perfectly. However, the house is showing a bit wear and tear in its furnishings and wallpaper, and the primary bathroom has a tub/shower combination was well appointed, just not for shorter people. The tub is so deep that a person shorter than 5 feet 5 inches will find it hard to get in and out of, especially when the tub is wet from a shower. It The downstairs bathroom has a wonderful walk-in shower and that worked for us. Overall, we had a lovely time at the house.

Charming Home in a Great Location

We stayed at this property for 11 nights and had a wonderful stay. The home is gorgeously decorated and well equipped for a stay that feels like a home away from home. The garden and pool area are very well maintained and great for kids to play in. The location in Marin is fantastic, very close to parks, restaurants, and the adorable town of San Anselmo.

The house was perfect for our stay. The pool and hot tub made our downtime fun. The kitchen and grill gave us options for eating in. The bedrooms were perfect for our group. Everything was great

Absolutely beautiful home in a great location. Pool and hot tub were excellent.My only complaint is that it was very hot, and the house has no air-conditioning. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Great property for 7 people as a base for exploring San Francisco and Marin County. House was very clean and the decor was charming. Really nice back porch and yard for peaceful evenings. The location was perfect - since we hadn't been to the bay area, we wanted to see the broader area, including downtown San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausolito, Napa and Berkeley. The house was conveniently close to the Larkspur ferry terminal and the Richmond bridge. Appliances were all clean and functional. Only concern we had was lack of air conditioning, but we were out of the house in the afternoons and even in July the daytime temperatures weren't bad. It cooled down quickly in the evening and night (50s). Would recommend to anyone, especially larger groups looking to see downtown, Marin County and Napa in the same trip.

Kentfield Hideaway

We liked our stay in September so much that when my wife and I returned for an extended visit with family again in December this was a natural choice for us. Celebrating Christmas here felt very homey for all of us. The place is bright and cheery with all the amenities we needed. The location is perfect for access to San Francisco and Napa.

Keith, thanks for the nice review, and we are so glad you enjoyed your time in our home! We are here now getting some needed repairs done (fence line and gate). The flowers are not quite in bloom yet on Jan 31, but we have a fresh crop of Meyer lemons on the trees! Please come back again when you have a need.

Beautiful home in the best location

Our family loved our stay in this beautiful house. The location is perfect to be able to visit San Francisco, Oakland, John Muir, and wine country. The surrounding area is convenient to groceries, small restaurants, and water sports. The home is spacious enough to spread out and the rooms are comfortable. The home is very well appointed and beautifully decorated. The backyard is an oasis. Ozzie is a great host and very responsive. We look forward to our next visit to the Bay Area!
