Photos and Description of the Tiburon vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Every room of this 3 bedroom home on San Francisco Bay has gorgeous views of the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, or restful patios. Crunch across the gravel driveway and enter a sunny sheltered area in back of the house, enclosed by a warm stone patio. Lush plantings invite you to come in the Dutch kitchen door, which is painted the color of favorite geraniums. Or, if you follow the stone path around to the front entry, you will come upon the spectacular San Francisco Bay views framed by gracefully branching trees. From the front windows you can watch the changes to the beautiful town of Sausalito and the Golden Gate Bridge across the water, as sailboats traverse the waterfront and the sun makes graceful changes all day.

The quaint village of Tiburon is a quick drive or a 20 minute stroll on the bayside bike path. From there, take the ferry to San Francisco (17 minutes) or Angel Island, or for a sunset cruise around the bay.

Visit the historic towns nearby to shop, play, or eat at famous restaurants, or just stay at Bella Vista all day to relax. Bella Vista is within a short drive to five great beaches (5-30 minutes), the Napa-Sonoma wine country (30 minutes), and the City, (15-20 minutes). Mill Valley, Sausalito, and 2 large shopping centers are about 10 minutes away. Mt. Tamalpais, the birthplace of the mountain bike, is next to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, about 20 minutes away.

About The Owner

Earl and Arthulene Linman built this house, Bella Vista, in 1950 and their daughter and son-in-law inherited it in 2007. We began renovation in 2008 and finished in 2009. Meredith grew up here and has always loved the house and the community. We think you will, too.

The Owner purchased this house in 2007
Why The Owner chose Tiburon

The unique climate of the area around Bella Vista is warmer than San Francisco and Sausalito, but with views of the fog that may roll over the Sausalito hills to the bay. Year-round, the climate is more comfortable than most other Bay Area communities.

What makes this house unique

The views from Bella Vista are world-class. We come here to relax and we can leave our stresses behind. We love to hike on the hills behind the house and Mount Tam, and walk on the bike path in front of the house. We love to beachcomb on the shore across the street, go to the beach on Paradise Drive or Fort Chronkite, or go to the city for a faster pace. We love it here!

Wonderful stay at Bella Vista!

My husband and I had the great fortune to spend 6 nites at Bella Vista just before Christmas. This home is so warm and inviting, every detail has been taken care of and the location is tops! The photos gave a great picture of exactly how the property looks. We easily walked to downtown Tiberon and enjoyed the shops, hopped the ferry to San Francisco (much better than driving into SF and fighting the traffic and parking), hiked Muir Woods, enjoyed shopping and dining in Mill Valley (so charming!). We ate at El Paseo in Mill Valley - for you foodies, that's Tyler Florence's restaurant. And, don't miss a visit to the Tyler Florence store - amazing!! We can't say enough about our stay - enjoyed every minute and loved Meredith's charming and cozy home and can't wait to go back!

We rented the property for a one week stay and could not have been happier. The location is close to everything from the walk to the pier in Tiburon to catch the ferry in to San Francisco to the short drive to the wine country and Mier Woods. The house is very well kept and comfortable. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a great place to stay in the San Francisco area to consider putting this property at the top of the list.

Wonderful home, great location

We were a group of five friends who gather once a year from across the US for a break from our Mom/Wife duties for a Girls' Weekend. Bella Vista absolutely enchanted us. The location is excellent - San Francisco is 20 minutes away, and both Tiburon and Sausalito provided nearby shopping and dining. The bay is directly across the street from the backyard and provides a lovely view of the water, the hills and part of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The three bedrooms are spacious, nicely decorated and comfortably supplied. And the layout of the bedrooms in respect to the rest of the house provides a feeling of privacy that one wouldn't expect from a house this size. The kitchen had everything we needed and was large enough for several of us to putter around at the same time. We loved the big picture windows and spent a lot of time sitting on the deck, enjoying the view.
What's more difficult to describe is the "homey" feeling this house gives. You can practically feel the years of love and good memories that have passed through the walls. It gives a wonderful loving vibe - we felt at home immediately.
The owner, Meredith, was very friendly and responsive, very ready to answer any questions.
