Great property. Nicely equipped. Had several dinners on the deck which offers a wonderful view. We had stayed in Sausalito our previous few trips, and this property provided some nice variety of new restaurants and places to explore.

A lovely spacious house with fabulous views and sitting areas on the back deck and a small garden in front. Immaculate and well-appointed with kitchen necessities, linens, and seating areas. Easily accessible for wheelchair users. Convenient to San Rafael, Highway 101, and Sir Francis Drake. This was our second stay, and we'll book it again the next time we visit the area.

Great place! Wonderful views, quiet, clean, and in the middle of everything. There’s a ferry to downtown San Francisco that’s 10-15 minutes away (30 min boat ride to the main Ferry terminal), Muir Woods, Sonoma wine country, Sausalito and more all within a short drive. Comfortable beds after long days sightseeing. Thanks Lee!

We really enjoyed our short stay in San Rafael. House was lovely, clean & comfortable with lots of space for our family. Enjoyed sitting out on the deck - great view. Would definitely stay here again if we are returning to this area.

The house is amazing and as pictured. One thing to note though is the recycling rules, please read before your stay so you don't end up sorting trash like we did on our last day (we didn't read carefully until the night before our check out). Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with! We enjoyed our stay.

The house has good bones but the whole arrangement of the owner living in the basement and all of the rules (there's even one about toddlers running in the house, clearly he has never had kids) is a little off putting, so make sure you are totally fine with this. I thought I was and turns out I wasn't! It seems that the cleaning is done by the owner and not professionals. I misplaced my keys and saw lots of dust bunnies in the corners of the house. I personally prefer more of a hotel-like stay and this was more like staying at a friend's house. Also I don't feel it is fair to charge a cleaning fee when the house isn't clean. I can see why people rated it so high, but this just isn't my type of property.

This house has a wonderful layout, large rooms, magnificent views, comfortable furniture and beds. We were able to find all supplies for cooking and entertaining for our small family gathering. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing! Thank you for sharing this special location.

Members of my family and I had a wonderful week at Lee's house. I lived in the Bay Area for 30+ years and rented the house to host Thanksgiving for members of my family. The house was very comfortable and had a nice dining room for us, as well as a lovely deck. The neighborhood was nice, and there was ample parking. The house was accessible to everything we needed or wanted to do. Lee and his wife were cordial and responsive hosts, and I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Marin County.

I found everything I needed to be comfortable, including a complete kitchen, a large living room and dining area, bedroom with a comfortable bed, a spectacular view, and all the things I needed to feel at home. I especially like having my coffee sitting and enjoying looking out on the beautiful scenery.

Impeccable, beautiful house with all the amenities and great (and generous) attention to detail. Outstanding location to visit San Francisco, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Napa and Sonoma valleys, and to enjoy San Anselmo, Fairfax and San Rafael. Communication with the host is always quick and easy.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The home is beautiful and nestled in the hills with a fabulous deck that is so peaceful in the day & glitters at night with the stars and distant lights of San Francisco. The home was very clean, kitchen stocked with supplies, and the beds were very comfortable and decorated with whimsical bedding designs. The property was close enough to visit several state parks , trails, markets & San Francisco. The home was perfect and helped make our family vacation much more comfortable.

Lee and Sally make every effort to make you comfortable. The deck has an incredible view and is perfect for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The property is on top of a fairly steep hill, but that’s fine with us. Easy access, no stairs. Quiet neighborhood. Air conditioning for when it gets warm in the afternoon, but it almost always cools down at night. We will ABSOLUTELY come back, hopefully every year - it’s perfect for our needs. Thank you Lee & Sally!!!

What a great house! Both my husband and I kept coming back to this one when we were both looking for a place to stay before going on to Hawaii. We sure made the right choice. There was plenty of space for everyone, fantastic views, friendly neighborhood and close to everything. The hosts are fantastic and so helpful. If we find ourselves in Northern California again, we would stay here.
