A perfect weekend with the family

We were so pleased with the house! There was plenty of room to spread out, and to be together. Everyone had a comfortable room and the family room and dining table were perfect for our gathering. The check in andcheck out were so easy.

Lovely space

We enjoyed the home very much especially the outdoor patio where we could have our meetings…beautiful views over the water. Two bedrooms did have ants and these were unwelcome guests! Hopefully they will be encouraged to stay outside!

Nice views

Overall the rental was decent. The water front view was amazing! The back patio and view was beautiful! The house was very comfortable and provided everything needed. There were a few issues with ants but nothing major as long as food wasn’t left out or dishes left in the sink.

Beautiful View

I will say that we were a little anxious due to some of the signage. I think it's unfortunate that they have experienced renters that haven't upheld to basic standards before. Plenty of room, beautiful views and the communication was helpful.

Very pleasant stay.

The property was clean and well maintained. Bayside location was good. A few minor opportunities for improvement. 1. Let us correspond with homeowner directly via email. I want one email system. I do not want everyone i do business with having their own silly Inbox. 2. Would have been nice to be able tocheck in earlier .... and, yes i dont care if i have to get out earlier.

A bit ANTsy

Lovely place to stay. Cons: TP in master bathroom not flushed. Wet towels still in dryer at check in (Clean towels were available in all bathrooms). Many ants in the area. Tiny and stings a bit. Be careful on the Master bathroom toilet bowl. Constantly on there. If not wiped off prior to using, can get a little sting in the privates (not painful). HOWEVER, this should not detract you from renting this property. The location, layout of the home and the outdoor space is absolutely wonderful. I would rent again without hesitation, if I were to be in the area again.

Awesome, Loved It!!!

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate the start of our winter break from school, it was group of 5 of us, all teachers. The entry instructions were easy, and able to get in easy. The home was immaculate and the living room couch was huge, so great for our movie night one evening after a long day of wine tasting. The outside was the best part, it wasn't too cold, so we were able to enjoy chilling outside and socializing on the patio, drinking our new wine. I've never seen a house that had its only little stretch of sand in front of the water. And the sunsets were so pretty! We are absolutely coming back here in the summer to start off our summer vacations!

WATERFRONT HOME IN NOVATO CA

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The outside of this home - and the décor inside - are beautiful. It was fairly clean. There were a few issues (not enough towels, no rug to step out onto in one bathroom; large stain on rug outside of laundry closet; about 25 open bottles of condiments etc in the fridge doors, so no room for ours). There is no closet nor any storage furniture like a bureau or chest of drawers in the double bed bedroom.

Great house, great location - maintenance needs improv9ng

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house,location and facilities were as described and fully met our high expectations. But the property managers had not kept a close enough eye on it, so numerous maintenance matters had slipped, ranging from not enough plates and glasses for everyone to sit down together, through damaged window blinds, shower taps falling off to jets on the gas barbecue being so clogged it took half an hour of cleaning to get working. The property was listed on a number of sites, but we chose Trip Advisor as it was the cheapest.

What a Gorgeous Spot

The house is lovely and the area is wonderful. Right on the water with a great entertaining / relaxing deck and a dock. The house has lots of room and the views to the water are stunning. It needs a little TLC which we told the host about. But overall we’d highly recommend this home.

Beautiful Home in Bel Marin Keys

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great stay with 7 other friends at this beautiful house on the water. The living room and two bedrooms out of 4 have a beautiful view of the keys. The house was clean and well supplied. The only downside is that I wish there were wine glasses in the cupboards. We only found two. Maybe it was to deter people from partying in the house, not sure. There’s also wasn’t any dishwasher soap pods and the smaller bedroom could use some better decor but none of these things would stop me from renting again. The house is that beautiful! Our stay was short and we were disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor patio with fireplace, private beach and bbq. Everything looked so relaxing. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your home!

Family vacation

Overall, this was a lovely property. Plenty of space for our group of eight. Kitchen was reasonably well-stocked although it didn’t seem to include a wine opener. The dishwasher door is dented, so the lower rack constantly falls off the track when you pull it out to load dishes, and we tried to just load without pulling the rack out. There are signs all over the house warning that gatherings of any kind are prohibited and there are security cameras on the back patio. Violation of that rule is apparently grounds for immediate removal from the property. It was a little off-putting, as we felt discouraged from even having our two local family members over to join us for dinner, since we didn’t want to lose our rental. Perhaps some clarification as to what a “gathering” means might be helpful for future renters.
