About this house rental

Vista Mill Valley has the details inside and outside that warrant your consideration. Inside, the property has nice furnishings, from granite counter tops to the Fisher & Paykel gourmet gas range. The bedroom has an 8 ft glass window and a 10 ft sliding glass door. The living room has another 8 ft window, making the wooded lot a part of your experience. Your unit has its own deck, accessible from the bedroom or the main entrance. Your water view includes Richardson Bay, Tiburon, the Sausalito houseboats, Angel Island, the East Bay hills, and, on a clear night, the lit-up cranes of the Oakland waterfront, across the Bay.

Why Mill Valley?
Mill Valley is popular for visitors from around the world because it is minutes from San Francisco, yet a world apart. Famous for its wooded hillsides and water views, Mill Valley has been the home of many notables, from Jerry Garcia to Janis Joplin. Grab a coffee in our downtown, and you might just recognize a few of our current residents.

If you've not been the the San Francisco Bay Area before, do stay in San Francisco for at least one night. But then come join us here in Mill Valley, for the perfect northern California experience.

Why this property?
Before putting this unit on the market we completed a major remodel, taking much of the property down to the studs. All the small details - sophisticated lighting, built-in speakers, etc. - contribute to a great experience. The kitchen is small, so we made it special, with a gourmet gas range, granite counter tops, etc. The deck was always nice, but we made it nicer, with Brazilian teak, and cable railings. And the exterior path and steps have been redesigned, to better leverage the garden.

Mill Valley has many wonderful properties, but some of them are time-consuming to get to. This property is only 1.1 miles from the freeway ramp.

Two considerations: 1) Like many San Francisco, Sausalito and Mill Valley properties, this unit does not have air conditioning. 2) It's about 40 steps to the unit. Not 40 in a row (there are multiple landings) and most of the steps are low-rise, but do read the reviews and make sure the property is right for you. Thanks!

Immaculate, spacious and well stocked place. The view from the bedroom and the desk in the living room were fabulous. Lovely and spacious deck as well. Everything I could need was there including a fabulous CD collection. The hosts were responsive, gracious and kind. I can't wait to return.

I recently stayed at a charming VRBO rental in Mill Valley and cannot recommend it highly enough. This gem exceeded my expectations, making for an unforgettable stay. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the host had put a lot of thought into every detail. My name was thoughtfully printed out and taped to the mailbox, instantly bringing a smile to my face after a long day of travel. The property is the lower unit of a duplex, beautifully nestled into a hillside. Accessing the unit requires ascending about 48 stone steps that meander through lush plantings and trees, creating a sense of adventure and tranquility. I was delighted to discover a hidden koi pond under the trees, adding a magical touch to our entry. Upon entering, the space looked even better than the photos I had seen online. The contemporary decor in natural colors created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The L-shaped layout of the interior mirrors the deck outside, offering picturesque views from every angle. The eastern view, in particular, features lush greenery that evokes the enchanting feeling of being in a treehouse. In the distance, you can see Richardson Bay and the Freeway Bridge. The northern side of the house is shaded by the neighboring property, but bamboo outside the windows creates a serene privacy screen. It was a pleasure to look out at the calming greenery while doing everyday chores. The kitchen is a well-appointed galley that adjoins the living space and bedroom. Every detail i

My husband and I stayed here for a quick getaway. It was our first time visiting the Bay area. The rental was very clean, fully stocked and in the best location! Having parking available was great too. Bill was quick to reply to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again.

The unit was exactly as advertised. We stayed for eight days in May. The unit was spotless inside and out with a breathtaking view and lots of nearby activities, restaurants, and grocery stores. The hosts were very helpful and the unit was furnished with a nice collection of books, music, electronics, and TV options. We spent most of our time in Mill Valley, Sausalito, and the surrounding area with occasional visits over the nearby Golden Gate to San Francisco which was 20-30 minutes away. The only caveat is that there are stairs from the parking area to the unit itself, so if you have issues climbing stairs that could be a challenge.

Located on the quieter side of The Bay. A fabulous place. Super clean and remarkably comfortable. Thoughtfully decorated to let in the light and beauty of the surrounding area. Beautifully landscaped gardens including a variety of blooming plants, a spectacular redwood tree steps from the front door and a goldfish pond. Property is pristine inside and out. The in-unit binder with local finds along with instructions/expectations very helpful and appreciated. Bill was really helpful, offered to be readily available for consultation. Definitely recommend staying here and hope to return in the future. Thank You Bill & Terry
