The home was lovely, big and located in a very nice neighborhood with close proximity to shopping and the 101 Hwy. Kitchen was perfect, great washer & dryer and the master suite and bathroom had ample room. Also has a lovely deck in the backyard. I would definitely stay there again.

Comfy Corte Madera Home
Clean, comfortable, complete with kitchen and coffee amenities. A very relaxing home away from home. We, stayed at many VRBO properties, and Dina’s place is our favorite. Incredible view of Mount Tamilpais and surrounding Corte Madera town. We enjoyed the sunsets with local wine and cheese hanging out on the large extended deck.
This is our third visit to this property and enjoyed a whole month staying here. Our host, Dina, really made us feel welcome and our stay wonderful.
We highly recommend this to families who want a worry free relaxing vacation in Marin County. It is conveniently located, and a reasonable drive to the city (SF) and also to the Napa wine countryside. Also, about 40 minutes to SFO international airport.
We look forward to our next visit here!

Perfect
We loved our stay here so much we have already rebooked! The only detractor for our family was that the the mattresses were too hard for our taste. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Great house, wonderful host
We really enjoyed our stay in this tastefully decorated and very cozy home. Great views in the back. Very convenient to everything. The host (Dina) was great. She was very responsive and caring. We would stay again for sure if we are back in that area.

Lovely property in a great location
I absolutely loved staying at this property, located in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. The house is perfect for hosting family or a few visiting friends, and I'd say it's even more attractive than the photos suggest. The kitchen is large and beautifully equipped, for those who like to cook--there are even plenty of serving pieces for entertaining a small group, and there's ample space on the deck and around the lovely fire pit. The location is very much central Marin, so it's close to everything from Muir Woods to the Marin Farmer's Market in San Rafael to Sonoma and Napa vineyards. The owner was very accessible and always responsive to any and all questions and needs I had, as was the cleaning/management team. I'm looking forward to another stay in the near future!

wonderfully relaxed stay in Corte Madera
we had stayed at this property a couple of years back and wanted to book this home for the entire Christmas holiday through New Year's. although the property was unavailable for the full month we initially wanted, the owner, Dina, was kind enough to make the best of our schedule to accommodate us for a portion of our trip. even when our flight was canceled and had to extend, Dina was very helpful in allowing us to adjust our bookings.
we stay at many different VRBO properties, and this one is our favorite! beautiful home, very clean, well appointed with the kitchen complete with all the necessary utensils and equipment (you can even choose French Press, Nespresso or Drip Coffee!) and possibly the best backyard deck with an incredible view of the valley and mountains of Marin.
on our last day, we discovered the nicest trails just 5min walk from the house! the trail leads to the top of hill that gives you literally a 360-degree view of the Bay Area. You can see both Golden Gate Bridge in the distance and the Oakland Bay Bridge. And far on the horizon... Napa! Incredible!
We wish we could stay longer, and look forward to our next vacation in this property! Thank you Dina!

Fantastic Homebase to Visit with Family
Dina’s property was perfect for our getaway to visit with family. Her home was clean and nicely furnished for my family. We had a great view from the large deck and it was nice to sit out by the fireplace at night to catch up with family. Would definitely stay there again!

Our stay in Paradise
This property turned out to be the perfect location for visiting with our kids and grandkids. It was beautifully appointed, peaceful and quiet. The home had everything we needed whether we decided to stay in or take advantage of the wonderful walking trail we found nearby. The property manager, Angelina, was very helpful and responsive to all our inquiries. We highly recommend this property and look forward to the opportunity to stay in the future!

Welcoming home with a Great viewing deck!
Excellent stay! We truly appreciated Dina's home and how she had made us feel very welcome during the reservation and checking in. Even when our flight was delayed. Her property manager, Angelina, even waited very late to meet up with us to show us the house. Very clean, comfortable and with wonderful views. We highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay for biking and close to SF
We stayed here and did a lot of biking in Marin County. Our son and his wife joined us from their apt in SF. It was an easy ferry ride for him to join us with his bike too. The home was a wonderful weekend break for both him and his wife. We loved relaxing on the back patio for meals and around their firepit. We will be back!

Sharing a dream and making memories...
‘Marin county magic’, while true, fails to do this special home justice. My family gathered here from Durham, NC, Huntsville, AL & Scottsdale, AZ to share precious time together as well as realize a dream of mine and my late Dad’s. Experiencing the Redwoods. As I planned our trip I searched for a special home to call ‘ours’. It was the facet of the trip I spent the most time on. When I found this place I knew it would make our time together perfect. We were not disappointed! From the fantastic kitchen to the great beds & baths and fabulous location we were blown away. The greatest aspect for my family was the awesome deck, view and the fireside seating. Each day in the area was special and feeling ‘at home’ made it a spectacular experience. We hope to visit again in the future! Don’t miss this special home!

Lovely, modern ranch house
This is a very nice, updated, and well-maintained house. Because I was there during the rainiest February on record, I was especially pleased to have a garage to pull into. (Most bay area rentals don't have an attached garage.) The location was great for walking, shopping, and popping over the bridge for a day in the city.

Beautiful, well appointed home with amazing views. A short drove to the Golden Gate Bridge.
From our first conversation with Dina we knew this was the perfect home for our trip to San Francisco. The home is even more beautiful that the pics posted on VRBO and the view is breathtaking!
The home was fully stocked and very clean and organized. We were greeted by the house manager. She showed us around the home and explained how everything worked and left her number to call if we had any questions.
Dina had left an information sheet on the various attractions in San Francisco and the Napa/Sonoma Valleys. With lots of personal recommendations on places to eat, shop and see.
We truly enjoyed our visit and would stay in Dina’s property again!
Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your home!

Beautiful relaxing stay
Wonderful experience staying at Dina's gorgeous home in Corte Madera. The view from the deck is a beautiful Vista and truly is the showstopper of the experience. A very calming, quiet and rejuvenating experience to spend a week, especially beautiful during October where the leaves are falling and the mornings are crisp yet afternoons nice and warm sitting out on the deck. Very modern feel to the home, and she was very accommodating to my unique needs as a wheelchair user. Thank you so much for great stay!

An amazing vacation
This is one of the best, if not the best rental we have ever made. We really lucked out on this one.
From the first contact with the owner, the welcome from her representative, the amazingly beautiful house and the surroundings, there is not one thing we did not absolutely love. The location a mere 7 minutes or so from the GGBridge and the view from the patio - no words to describe it. The owner was super generous, available and provided loads of information to us which made our trip to SanFrancisco a memorable one.
We also loved the fact there were dry goods and the basic food requirements (oil, spices, etc) available. I have rented houses before where there was absolutely nothing available.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We hope to be back.

Better than a 5 star hotel!!
We had such a wonderful stay at this property in Corte Madera. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and all the amazing amenities. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. Everything was so nice and very well maintained. The patio had such a beautiful view and the cozy seating area with the fire pit was just perfect. We loved it there! Just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Dina!

Superb
A fabulous place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. Ultra-modern, clean, great amenities and that view from the deck (wow!), this home has been meticulously restored to provide great comfort and relaxation. So many incredible attractions within 1/2 hour and Corte Madera offers many choices for shopping, dining, farmer's markets and so much more.
Dina is a wonderful host and we greatly appreciate her sharing this beautiful retreat with visitors to the area, providing an experience that exceeded expectations.
Highly recommended!

Dina is an exceptional owner! She responds quickly and alway make sure that we get settled in without any problems. The entire transaction was very smooth.
The house is kept in an exceptional clean and organized condition. There are contemporary flatwares, dishes, towels, and all the amenities that you need. The large deck has a nice view, the sitting area with the fire pit, and the BBQ were a bonus. The master bedroom mattress is exceptional comfortable ( not so in other homes).
Unlike San Francisco, this area is very peaceful and quiet. Yet San Francisco is only a short drive. We highly recommend this home to all traveler's who appreciate and respect a well maintained house and take care of it as if it were their own home.
Visited during Thanksgiving Holiday 2016.

This home was awesome and was the perfect location to visit San Francisco. The outside area with the fire pit was great during the evening to unwind and talk about our next day's adventure. The view was beautiful overlooking the city and mountains in the horizon. I have already recommended this home to family planning a trip and will for sure book this property when we go back.

We rented this home for 7 months while our new home was being finished. It is lovely, clean and modern and at night had a great view on the large deck in the back. It is in a quiet and very safe neighborhood up on a hill. The owners were a pleasure to work with and very responsive even though they did not live here. For us, the large garage was a plus to store a lot of our things while we were finishing our house. The home is close to the freeway and other amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Napa Valley is only about an hour away while SF is only 1/2 hour away. As a long term renter, this property was the perfect home for us as we were transitioning to our new home. I would totally recommend this home for either a long term rental or a weekend getaway. Thank you for a lovely 7 months.

The property is minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. Shopping and other vacation necessities are close. This central location in the Bay area was a perfect spot for our group. We enjoyed being outside the city, avoiding more traffic, when we headed to Napa. And close to downtown San Francisco when headed in for dinners and visiting tourist spots. The house was immaculate and modern. The outside space was wonderful and afforded a great view as well as a relaxing space to wind down after a long day. The house has a two car garage with plenty of street parking, a leg up from the city parking woes. I've rented plenty of units through VRBO and I can safely say this was top tier. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We stayed here for a week while visiting my sister who also lives in Corte Madera. It was the perfect location for my family of 6. You can walk right out of the front door and up the hill for spectacular views of the Richmond, Bay and Golden Gate bridges. You are also a short drive from Muir Woods and San Francisco. The house is very well maintained and feels brand new. The kitchen is well stocked for at-home dining and the entire house is very well decorated for a comfortable upscale feel. The deck and fire pit are fabulous and great areas from which to enjoy the Marin sunshine. I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to visit Marin/SF!

We just got back from a fantastic vacation in the San Francisco area. We have used vrbo for quite a few of our vacations. This by far has been the best house we have stayed at. It was pretty much a new home and well appointed. Nice access to the East Bay as well as San Francisco. I guess our only issue was the heating of the house was not uniform. However, we would stay there again inspite of this. If you are considering this house you will not be disappointed. Owner is very responsive as well.

A wonderful retreat, yet close to everything. The best of Marin.
