Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood

The home was lovely, big and located in a very nice neighborhood with close proximity to shopping and the 101 Hwy. Kitchen was perfect, great washer & dryer and the master suite and bathroom had ample room. Also has a lovely deck in the backyard. I would definitely stay there again.

Comfy Corte Madera Home

Clean, comfortable, complete with kitchen and coffee amenities. A very relaxing home away from home. We, stayed at many VRBO properties, and Dina’s place is our favorite. Incredible view of Mount Tamilpais and surrounding Corte Madera town. We enjoyed the sunsets with local wine and cheese hanging out on the large extended deck. This is our third visit to this property and enjoyed a whole month staying here. Our host, Dina, really made us feel welcome and our stay wonderful. We highly recommend this to families who want a worry free relaxing vacation in Marin County. It is conveniently located, and a reasonable drive to the city (SF) and also to the Napa wine countryside. Also, about 40 minutes to SFO international airport. We look forward to our next visit here!

Lovely property in a great location

I absolutely loved staying at this property, located in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. The house is perfect for hosting family or a few visiting friends, and I'd say it's even more attractive than the photos suggest. The kitchen is large and beautifully equipped, for those who like to cook--there are even plenty of serving pieces for entertaining a small group, and there's ample space on the deck and around the lovely fire pit. The location is very much central Marin, so it's close to everything from Muir Woods to the Marin Farmer's Market in San Rafael to Sonoma and Napa vineyards. The owner was very accessible and always responsive to any and all questions and needs I had, as was the cleaning/management team. I'm looking forward to another stay in the near future!

wonderfully relaxed stay in Corte Madera

we had stayed at this property a couple of years back and wanted to book this home for the entire Christmas holiday through New Year's. although the property was unavailable for the full month we initially wanted, the owner, Dina, was kind enough to make the best of our schedule to accommodate us for a portion of our trip. even when our flight was canceled and had to extend, Dina was very helpful in allowing us to adjust our bookings. we stay at many different VRBO properties, and this one is our favorite! beautiful home, very clean, well appointed with the kitchen complete with all the necessary utensils and equipment (you can even choose French Press, Nespresso or Drip Coffee!) and possibly the best backyard deck with an incredible view of the valley and mountains of Marin. on our last day, we discovered the nicest trails just 5min walk from the house! the trail leads to the top of hill that gives you literally a 360-degree view of the Bay Area. You can see both Golden Gate Bridge in the distance and the Oakland Bay Bridge. And far on the horizon... Napa! Incredible! We wish we could stay longer, and look forward to our next vacation in this property! Thank you Dina!

Excellent stay! We truly appreciated Dina's home and how she had made us feel very welcome during the reservation and checking in. Even when our flight was delayed.

Great place to stay for biking and close to SF

We stayed here and did a lot of biking in Marin County. Our son and his wife joined us from their apt in SF. It was an easy ferry ride for him to join us with his bike too. The home was a wonderful weekend break for both him and his wife. We loved relaxing on the back patio for meals and around their firepit. We will be back!

Sharing a dream and making memories...

‘Marin county magic’, while true, fails to do this special home justice. My family gathered here from Durham, NC, Huntsville, AL & Scottsdale, AZ to share precious time together as well as realize a dream of mine and my late Dad’s. Experiencing the Redwoods. As I planned our trip I searched for a special home to call ‘ours’. It was the facet of the trip I spent the most time on. When I found this place I knew it would make our time together perfect. We were not disappointed! From the fantastic kitchen to the great beds & baths and fabulous location we were blown away. The greatest aspect for my family was the awesome deck, view and the fireside seating. Each day in the area was special and feeling ‘at home’ made it a spectacular experience. We hope to visit again in the future! Don’t miss this special home!

About the host

Hosted by Dina Stolman

Host profile image
We are delighted to share our home with you. We are a native Californian and an east coast transplant who were captivated by the view from this property 30 plus years ago and decided to make it our home.

Why they chose this property

We now split our time between Los Angeles and the bay area. This is our home when we are in this area, and we are happy to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

We love this place because of how peaceful and quiet it is yet how close to all the attractions. We have completely renovated to create a quiet relaxing retreat with all the modern amenities. Whether sitting out by the firepit, catching the sunset over Mt. Tam, or contemplating the quiet as a local hawk soars above the trees, we hope you will feel the same way.
