Photos and Description of the San Rafael vacation apartment rental 1 BEDROOM AND 1 BATHROOM

We reside in a unique neighborhood in San Rafael, CA that is near enough to the bay of San Pablo for morning walks. You can also see the boat masts from the living room window as you sit back and enjoy the bay view. Our quiet, scenic neighborhood offers an opportunity to relax and kick back after a day of visiting the city of San Francisco or the nearby wine country. Our close proximity to the town of San Rafael(3 miles) is also easy for the visitor to get a good meal, attend an amazing concert or view first run movies.

Our east San Rafael property is also surrounded by open land where you can hike, mountain bike or just enjoy walking bay side. We are also near historic China Camp and McNears Beach picnicking site If you want to get some small town feel, we are 2.5 miles away from the downtown area of San Rafael which has a restored, historic mission. We are also walking distance to a lovely upscale grocery store, called Andys!

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in San Rafael, California

County details: Beautiful Marin County is home to some of the most amazing fresh fruit and vegetables available. There are weekly farmer's markets and in the summer, on Thursday nights, the main street of San Rafael hosts a farmer's market as well as entertainment. The world famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright built his final building in San Rafael. It is home to the county offices. We also have a famous mission that is part of the California Missions Trail which reflects early California history. We are also near Marin General Hospital as well as Dominican College for those who might have short term jobs at those places as well as Autodesk and Fair Issac.

Weather: The weather in San Rafael is mostly temperate year round except for the winter rains which help our ground water supply. The surrounding hillsides reflect the winter moisture in the Spring when they are covered in lupines as well as the well known mustard flowers. Our rental is so close to the Bay that we get the cool breezes in the summer and more temperate weather in the winter.

Scenery: Because we are located on the Bay of San Pablo, there are times you can see art students with their easels up and painting the incredible views of the bay very near our home. Mount Tam can also be viewed from outside the guest suite.

Golf: We are near Peacock Gap Country Club and Spa. Normal fees apply. McGuiness Park, which is also a golf course is a bit further up the highway.

The Perfect Retreat

Best Friends GetAway Las Vegas, NV
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My best friend and I were looking for our "girls weekend" location and we found the perfect place. This is the most charming location we have been to, it is comfortable a bit small but incredibly spacious. The decor was brilliant it made a big difference in the atmosphere with plenty of windows to admire the surroundings - we thought the walk-in closet/changing room was a nice touch. The location was perfect to explore Sausalito, Sonoma and Napa – we did all that and in the evenings returned to our retreat to enjoy a nice bottle of wine. This was a great get away location and we definitely plan on returning.

While waiting for our daughter's first baby to arrive,
we spent two wonderful weeks with Elise and Paul. We
so enjoyed having such a beautiful and pleasant place
to stay beginning with Christmas 2008 and into 2009.
Thank you for all the special memories.
Owner's Response: We definitely enjoyed the Gilberts and hope they will return to see their new grandchild soon.

Bring Your Bicycle!

T and Chrisine Eureka, CA
Review Submitted: March 13, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We had a great retreat by the bay. Cozy, clean space away from the busy part of San Rafael. We had a couple great bike rides out to China Camp and incredible weather for Dec.

Thanks Paul and Elise for your hospitality.
Owner's Response: Yes, bikes are a great idea as the area we live in as well as the surrounding areas are great for trail riding as well as site seeing along the water front.

In the future, we may even have bikes available for using!
