About this property

MILL. VALLEY. MODERN

Enjoy the lower level of this architecturally stunning private gated end of cul-de-sac Mill Valley retreat. Completely separate from the main living areas of the house, where my partner and I live, the lower level has its own entrance and outdoor space. The family room and 2 larger bedrooms look out over the dedicated terrace, towards the pool, the bay and the San Francisco skyline.
The property is located minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands and the ferry to SF, and just up the hill from Strawberry Village, offering multiple options for shopping and restaurants.
The world reknowned Napa and Sonoma wine regions are an easy day trip away.
Additional features of the property include a 75' lap pool, a full gym, a jetted hot tub, and a large mature, lush garden. While at the property, our guests enjoy exclusive use of the pool, gym and spa. We make every effort to be invisible, and to not be intrusive. We respect our guests’ privacy.

Lovely Stay!
We met up with another couple for a weekend trip and had a lovely time at this VRBO. The hot tub was great and the pool was beautiful, but we only had time (and weather) for the hot tub. My one suggestion for the property is a more comfortable couch. Thank you!

February Break with Family of 4 and Grandparents
We had a wonderful stay at the apartment rental within this gorgeous modern home. The location was ideal with an incredible view of San Francisco and easy travel across the Golden Gate Bridge to city activities or into Mill Valley for excellent restaurants. We used the hot tub at least once a day and spent time relaxing and playing games inside. The living areas are small, but the apartment has everything you need!

Beautiful property
Beautiful property with stunning views. Just as described. It was perfect for our girls-weekend to Napa/Sonoma and had everything we needed. The hosts even brought us a bottle of champagne to celebrate which was a lovely touch! We had an issue with the smoke alarms going off but our host was able to fix it for us. Also, beware, there are several stairs at this property so probably not best for those with any handicaps. Wish we would have had a chance to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi. All-in-all I highly recommend this listing if you need a place to stay in the area.

Awesome property
My family had a great time and the house and amenities were outstanding! Gary and Jeff made the whole process very easy and to be honest we did not even know they were there the property is so well laid out. The only complaint we have is with the mattresses, especially in the second BR with the queen bed. Easy solution would be a mattress topper or just a new mattress but it definitely needs to be addressed. Overall a great unit to rent and you will not be disappointed with the views and the pool!

Apartment rental-not entire house
The location and property manager were fabulous, but this isn’t the entire house. I missed that when renting. The apartment is outdated, and smells like mothballs. The kitchen only has 2 electric burners because it’s a galley kitchen, so no full size fridge. Also, we weren’t told the kitchen had ants, so in a matter of an hour, food we left out to cool was no longer eatable. The shower head in the bathroom in the master sweet drips all night, so you have to leave it on the shower floor and there is mold in the washing machine which is in the galley kitchen. The gym was old and out dated, but the view was amazing, and the pool and hot tub were fabulous. If you don’t plan on spending much time at the rental, this is a good place to sleep, but had I known these little pointers before renting I would’ve paid the extra thousand to get the entire house somewhere else. Note the stairs are a pain when dragging up luggage and the couch is hard.

Cozy, High End, Beautiful
We rented the apartment that is attached to the larger house and had a wonderful, comfortable stay with the most accommodating, easygoing, friendly hosts Jeffrey & Gary. All of the amenities, including pool, hot tub, and gym were available to us (though sadly we didn't have time to use them). It's clear that the hosts deeply care about and take care of the entire property and the listing. If you book here, you'll be in great hands with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and easy. Added bonus of being in beautiful Mill Valley.

Beautiful property; communication challenges
This is a modern apartment with beautiful views — close to everything if you have a car. It’s on the smaller side but worked out for our family of four, especially with the pool. We had challenges communicating with hosts about issues in the home which frustrated us during first few days. They were resolved. No dishwasher but well stocked otherwise! Highly recommend Boo Koo, Flour Craft Bakery, Hook Fish, Farmshop and Rustic Bakery. Whole Foods and CVS are very close too. A great choice if you want to be outside the city but close to everything.

Fantastic Property
This home is in a great location for a family to check out San Francisco and the surrounding area. It's a quick car ride to downtown or Muir Woods as well as restaurants and groceries. After a day of dragging teenagers around for sightseeing, the pool was awesome to have access to. We would book this same home again in the future.
