Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in San Rafael

This home exceeded our expectations. It was well-kept, and the arcade was lots of fun for us and our elementary aged kids alike. We will come back when it’s warmer and not raining so we can take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space, too!

Wonderful place to stay with family and friends for a new year’s vacation in the Bay Area. Beautiful views over the city and a private and peaceful location. Great host that was very accommodating while maintaining our privacy. A great experience and would definitely stay again.

This was my second time staying at Ac's Airbnb. It's clean, quiet and convenient. I strongly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a nice place to stay in this area of Oakland.

The weather was wet and dreary while we were in the SF Bay Area, but Lisa’s beach house has a lot of amenities (cards, puzzles, games) that kept us busy while in doors. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils to cook our favorite meals. It was home away from home!

Neighborhood is quiet and clean. Home was nice, they had tvs in room, clean home and host communicated well.

Perfect place for a few of us who were doing a 5 day long commuting retreat at Spirit Rock. It was just a short drive away so we were able to come home for lunch, and enjoy the sunshine and views. We were also super comfortable cooking and resting in the evenings. The kitchen was super well stocked and equipped, and had everything we needed and more. It does seem to be an active home with clothes and books belonging to the owner, which I was a little surprised by at first, but didn't really impact us much, there was still enough space for us and for us to create our own memories in the beautiful house. Appreciated Hila's responsiveness!

We recently stayed at this beautiful house in the redwood trees in Larkspur with our family, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. The location is absolutely perfect—though it feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by nature, it’s surprisingly close to all the attractions we wanted to explore. It’s the best of both worlds: serene and peaceful, yet conveniently located. The house itself is a cozy, modern rustic dream. The design strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, with warm wood details and large windows that really make you feel like you’re part of the forest. You can tell this home has soul and spirit, with every corner thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and relaxed. Overall, it was a perfect getaway for our family. The house provided the ideal space to connect, relax, and enjoy each other’s company, while also offering easy access to nearby attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to create lasting memories.

we really enjoyed our stay in Steven's lovely home. The pool and hot tub/spa were a big hit even in late December. Steven was a wonderful host.. he was thoughtful and readily available to help with anything, even decorating so beautifully for christmas for us! It was a pleasure meeting you Steven! many thanks from our family ...

The Pacific was perfect for my daughter and me. The place had everything we needed, plus some nice pampering items in the bathroom. It would also be great for families with small children: a big backyard, games, safety precautions (ex. outlets had protective covers) and plenty of interior space. My only wish would have been to have a real oven. But it wasn’t truly necessary as there are lots of excellent restaurants nearby. You’ll find many suggestions and menus in the instruction binder. Shining and Devon were kind and very quick to respond. Good people. I’ll be back next time I’m in Alameda!

This was my first time to Stinson Beach and Jeff's wonderful place right on the beach exceeded all my expectations! Perfect location and just seconds away from the sand (and right at the point where dogs are allowed). Sunset views were stunning from the comfort of the space and super walkable to the quaint downtown for coffee or lunch. My dog and I had the best getaway weekend and Jeff could not have been a more gracious host.

Izzy was a great host. She was incredibly responsive to any issues (all small and easily managed) that I had. She was very friendly and made me feel right at home. If I’m ever in the Oakland/SF area I would love to have Izzy as a host again.

Sheilah's place was about perfect, great location, walk to beach, Shoreline shopping center nearby. I was able to walk to the Bowling alley to play with my grandchild! Amazing value, beautifully decorated and a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Would definitely come back!

Very comfortable and cozy. It was very private and quiet. There was minimal noise. The place had everything you needed and was close by to restaurants, shops, and more. I recovered from a surgery and it was perfectly fine for me!

2nd time staying here! Great space with nice touches that are appreciated and it’s centrally located for Oakland and the East Bay. Will definitely come back next time I do Airbnb in Oakland

Our 2nd booking with this listing. It meets all expectations. Very clean. Anything needed for our stay was available. A well stocked kitchen was perfect for our meal preps. The super hosts have a generous welcome basket that was wonderful for our later arrival quick snacks. The hosts, Stanley and Virginia, are quick responders to any of our inquiries.

Had a wonderful stay at this cozy spot! Great location, easy check in, the place was nice and warm and the lights were on when I arrived. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Claudia!

It was a pleasure and amazing for our family to be residing in Matt's house. The place was very cosy ,clean and was in a beautiful location by the golf resort Next time we plan to visit Napa ,we will definitely book Matt's place

We had a wonderful stay at Anna and Alex’s place! The hosts were incredibly responsive, always quick to address any questions or needs. I really appreciated their calm and patient approach, especially when I was feeling unsure—he gave us the time and space we needed to make decisions, which was greatly appreciated. This was my first time traveling with my family visiting from South Korea, and their home made the trip so much better—it was clean, well-stocked, and extremely comfortable. The bed, pillows, and couch were all super cozy, and the location was terrific: just a 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach, 25 minutes to San Francisco, and 15 minutes to SFO. One unexpected highlight was the rice cooker, which wasn’t listed in the amenities but was such a great surprise! It was also convenient to have access to large laundromats downstairs . Both the heater and hot water worked perfectly, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay..,accommodation was clean, uncluttered and comfortable. We appreciated hosts allowing us to check in early-very helpful as we drove a few hours to destination and were able to drop off bags freshen-up and go explore! Good unit as no one above-walls are not soundproof. Easy parking. Comfortable bed good nights sleep…Only suggestion would be to offer a courtesy log or two to enjoy fireplace without having to purchase a bundle of wood when arriving. We enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at this condo in Silverado Resort! The space was tastefully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The location was perfect—close to many amazing wineries, making it convenient for exploring Wine Country. Krista, the host, was super communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend staying here!

This was a perfect and beautifully maintained place. Erin was very responsive to any questions or requests. I loved having a lot of walking options nearby and I would definitely return during my next visit to Napa.

We loved staying at Gillian’s place. Beautiful unit with great appliances, fixtures and amenities. Well stocked kitchen and spacious living space. I liked the little office nook where I could work, and also the nice multi layered deck. We were within 10-15 of downtown mill valley and there were plenty of food options downtown and close by, including the charming lumber mill development. Very easy check in with clear instructions, great host and lovely place. We have family in Mill Valley and will look to book her place again in the future when we visit them!

The condo was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. Although we only traveled one hour to Napa, we felt like we were on vacation as soon as we arrived at the condo. The place is beautiful and so clean inside. It is in a nice peaceful location right next to the golf course and just a short 5 to 10 minute drive to downtown Napa. We are already looking at the calendar to see when we are able to come back and possibly spend an extra day or two there. Thank you!

The location was great, the directions were clear and everything was as advertised. Central to all of our activities and the room was as advertised. Would stay again!
