Beautiful, welcoming house. Excellent location with serene. lovely views off the back patio. Well appointed and relaxing. All amenities provided. Easy drive to Fairfax and its lovely downtown area and fine restaurants. Located walking distance to entry to Lagunitas Lake and hiking trails. Swimming pool and hot tub are a definite draw, especially for the kids. Three adults and two children were comfortable in two nice sized bedrooms with separate bathooms. NIce kitchen for home cooked meals. Only 30-40 minutes from San Francisco explorations. Great experience and will definitely return.

Incredible vacation home!!!

My husband and I and another couple spent a week in this incredible home!! The house was exactly as described....the pictures are a great representation of the house but we were amazed at the view of Cascade Canyon when we stepped out onto the patio (which was a focal point for us after long days of sight seeing). The hot tub is a great addition....much appreciated at the end of the day. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. There are many things to do in Marin if you don't want to go in to San Francisco.....plenty of hiking right across the street from the house (on Mount Tamalpais).......If you have never been to this area I will warn you of a few things when driving.....the road to the house (and many others) is windy so take it slow and watch for the cyclist (they are everywhere) ....also, pedestrians have the right of way!! We would recommend this house to anyone who is visiting the area and will go back whenever we can. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to deal with..........thanks for a great vacation!!

What a beautiful home! The pictures do not do the property justice, as the view is beautiful and the home is in excellent condition. We rented this home in preparation for our wedding up T the meadow club and it worked out wonderfully. The pool was amazing, hot tub easy to use, comfortable beds, spacious living area, and very wonderful owners. What a treat! I will recommend this home to anyone and everyone!

My husband and I and 2 toddlers rented this house for a few nights as a short getaway over Labor Day weekend. This house surpassed our expectations! Beautiful, simple and relaxing inside and out. We love that it was not cluttered with nick-nacks and didn't require much of any toddler proofing of our own! And we arrived with the child proof gates in place, blocking all access to the pool and spa. We loved that there was an in-tune (yes!) piano in the living area as both my husband and I love to play piano. And my husband and I were able to enjoy the fireplace on one chilly night during our stay.

The pool is not heated so it was chilly to really take a swim, but my kids enjoyed playing on the stairs in the pool with us. In all honesty, you very rarely find rentals that will heat the pool and usually at quite an extra cost, so we weren't coming here expecting a lot of swimming. We did bring an inner tube that made floating around in the pool relaxing and very doable though. We loved the posh grocery store in town (more upscale than whole foods) and loved cooking in the beautiful well appointed kitchen too.

Overall, everything was top-notch and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Dreamy, Romantic, Beautiful Home with Amazing View from Pool/Hot Tub!

We were 2 couples having a rare weekend without our children. The place was sooooo beautiful we didn't want to leave the whole time. We'd go into town thinking we'd hang out but we just wanted to go back to the house! Both bedrooms are like master bedrooms. Really comfortable beds, a true cook's kitchen, beautiful sunlight. Birds of Paradise plants framing the view of the outside. Exquisite vista from the pool and Hot tub. Dreamy, dreamy place. And the owners were a pleasure to work with. I wish I could live there....

This home is just as good as the pictures present it to be. We were all extremely comfortable and happy to be surrounded by such beauty both inside and outside the house. Both bedrooms are equally well appointed with great beds and bathrooms. It was well taken care of and quite clean. The owners were above and beyond -- especially when I left a bag there and they went to some trouble to get it to me!

Very nice home with two nice size bedrooms and adjoining baths. Kitchen was nice and large and the decks were our favorite place for relaxing. We will try to book the home again in the future. We had to purchase our own wash flannels/cloths and soap but the home had plenty of hand and bath towels. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in San Francisco area for touring the area. We went as far as Mendocina to the north, Napa and Sonoma Valleys, China Town, Tiburon, Olympic Club and San Jose. We look forward to our next visit.

My husband and I stayed at Vista del Corazon with another couple and had an amazing stay. Fairfax is a perfect town to relax and escape from our busy lives. The view was breathtaking and the home amenities made for a very comfortable visit. Thanks Jeff & Mary for allowing us to stay!

Side note: Visit The Hummingbird for the best chicken and waffles on the west coast.

Two Weeks of Bliss!

If you are looking for the quintessential San Francisco Bay area experience, this is the place! This beautiful, well appointed home in Marin is a refuge for anyone who loves to be surrounded by big mountain views, natural beauty and complete privacy. While the location was central to all the things we wanted to see and do, the property itself was our oasis for rest and relaxation. Trails across the street are ideal for all levels of hiking and trail biking among the redwoods.
The owners are easy to work with and have taken great care to make sure their guests have everything they need for a memorable experience. If you don't feel like cooking in, a variety of good restaurants are within ten minutes.

Envision yourself in the hot tub under the starlit sky, it doesn't get much better. We would highly recommend a stay at Vista Del Corazon.
