Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Rafael

The house is fantastic and so comfortable! We look forward to staying again another time soon. Thanks so much

Photos did not do this place justice. The deck was such a nice surprise with so many small moments & touches tucked away to discover. As for the place itself, pitch perfect for a family and absolutely the most fully stocked kitchen I've ever encountered in an airbnb rental. I had absolutely zero reason to interact with the host because their directions were so clear, helpful, and concise! After experiencing a string of extremely disappointing rentals, this location was a perfect reminder of airbnb at it's best. Will definitely put this on the short list for return visits!

Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fred’s place - the location was great, the house was fully stocked and the hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. Having a hot tub and gas fireplaces were an added bonus for spending the evenings admiring the views.

this place was beautiful! cozy little cabin with the cutest vibes. had a lovely time here:)

We stayed here for a girls weekend getaway and it was perfect. The back courtyard is stunning and it’s walkable to some great spots! Plenty of space and super cozy. Belinda was super friendly and responsive to any questions we had. Can’t recommend enough!

We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

Danielle’s home was cozy and sweet. It was very clean and she responded quickly to our questions.

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Absolutely stunning view and very private location. Plenty of room for our group and we especially appreciated the dog run off the master bedroom for convenience for our pup. The house has everything you need and the upstairs living areas are a bit more updated. Very comfortable to hang out and just enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. The deck was perfect. Host was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.

Nancy & Curt were amazing people. I had a hard time easing into the fact that they were on an attachment to the house - I think this should be stated upfront - but they were very kind, helpful, and laid back. The hot tub was fantastic. The game room was incredible. The property out of this world, like Narnia from The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Would stay longer and stay another time if I could!

A great space. Such a lovely renovated house. A great family friendly spot if you do not want the hustle and bustle of San Fran but close enough for a day trip to the main spots in the city. We loved heading back to the house after a day in San Fran.

I enjoyed my time at Audrey’s place. They are centrally located and the backyard is a beautiful place to work or unwind. Audrey, Jordie, and the pups were very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend their place for any guest visiting Oakland.

Allen’s place is a little gem, really well equipped for bringing our dogs and super cute decorations throughout!. Neighborhood is nice and quiet and walkable, with bakery and dog park very close by. Can warmly recommend! Also easy drive to wineries all around!

We had a great stay! Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. We are looking forward to staying again.

It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

Linda’s place was great. It was clean and comfortable and the location was great. A quick walk into the adorable town of Glen Ellen. The backyard is gorgeous and the spa pool was a fun perk to enjoy.

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

My friends and I had a fantastic stay at Tina's home! Tina was so welcoming and offered flexible check-in/out times. She also left a bottle of wine for us in the fridge. The home is in a beautiful, rural part of Sonoma. It's such a peaceful and private location, but close to everything! We enjoyed watching the hot air balloons above the backyard in the morning and going on walks/runs from the house. The house is clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! The weather was warm, so we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub. I can't wait to come back with my family!

The most incredible home and location!! So far exceeded our expectations!! The setting was gorgeous and serene and perfectly located - short drive to amazing restaurants and vineyards!! We’re already searching for our next opportunity to visit this amazing property!! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!

I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

The house was exactly as described and comfy. Plenty of room for 8, and in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t use the pool but it looked so inviting for summertime! Great place to stay with a group. Thanks!

Not only was the house super cute with big pool and hot tub, but a well stocked kitchen with quality pots and pans, snacks, and wonderful gas range. We had a great time staying at happy house and Brook was super friendly and gracious. She rushed over when there was a question and was so helpful.

This house was great. We hosted 9 people from three generations. One couple with a 6-month old were in the master. Grandparents were in another first-floor bedroom. Another couple with two boys ages 3 and 5 were upstairs. We rented in mid-April and were worried the pool would be really cold. The hot tub warmed up really fast and the pool was tolerable in the afternoon heat. The house is right on the road and we never heard cars at night while the kids were sleeping. The property is huge. The 3 and 5 year-old boys loved playing in the backyard and everyone loved the pool/hot tub. The hardwood stairs to the upstairs would be challenging for a child under 2 yrs old. This was a great house to rent for a large group.
