Well appointed home, with lots of welcoming extras. Rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Being on the water is beautiful, made better by the lovely sitting areas on the gorgeous deck. Easy access to so many wonderful places. We'd certainly stay there again if we are in the area.
Well-equipped, comfortable house. Responsive host. Wonderful deck! We enjoyed having the kayaks available. Weather in San Rafael was great for the duration of our stay.
Beautiful and centrally located! Close enough to still enjoy San Francisco. The home is immaculate. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for the hospitality! Also, there is a nice play ground across the street if traveling with children.
Beautiful waterfront home with many amenities. Outdoor deck is perfect for gathering with family and friends. The host is outstanding. Will visit again.
Timothy’s Waterfront property was perfect for our family’s trip to visit wine country and the San Francisco area. Our host was exceptional to communicate with and his home is most welcoming. The view from the patio is wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning and beverages in the afternoon and evening. Only wish we had stayed longer!
The house was well appointed, and the view from the expansive deck across the canal was spectacular. We swam, kayaked, enjoyed the fire pit and just sat on the dock of the bay. We had a great time!greattime
My family and I took two weeks and traveled down the west coast. This was one of the most beautiful homes that we stayed in over the two weeks! It was clean and the home owners paid attention to every detail! They had everything that you could think of waiting for our stay! I wish we could have stayed longer!
We absolutely loved our stay. The home was large but cozy and so well equipped with everything we needed. We made many meals in the kitchen, enjoyed a fire on the outside deck, and even used the kayaks in January! Beds were comfortable and linens were clean and warm. The snacks and coffee were very much appreciated. I hope to come back one day. Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.
What a perfect house!!!! Beautiful view, comfortable beds, well stocked home, immaculate and orderly!!!! Excellent communication from our host. Instructions and rules are very clear and we felt very welcome!!! We can’t wait to come back!!!
Thoughtful ammenities like condiments in the kitchen, coffee bar, and cute snack basket. The deck would be a delight in warm weather.
My daughter and I stayed one night and wished we could stay another.
I will definately try to book again the next time I am in the area.
Stayed in late January.
House checked every box on our list (and we’re pretty picky) and then some. Incredible views, awesome amenities- from the coffee bar with espresso, Keurig etc and breakfast goodies, to the snack basket with sweet and savory, to kitchen condiments, and even toiletries! Every kitchen gadget you could want, ice maker and filtered water.
Easy to get to San Francisco and surrounding area.
Highly recommend! Would absolutely stay here again.
Between the comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in and communicative host this is already an excellent rental. All the snacks, the coffee bar, the travel toiletries, etc we're easy account and beyond. We loved using the kayaks. Host was very communicative. Pictures are exactly what you get. We had the most relaxing time. Highly recommend.
We came to town to see our daughter in a play of the same name. Great place, modern and clean. Misfortune that washing machine broke down while there, and was unable to fix. Nobody’s fault as stuff happens.
This house has everything you need to be comfortable! Listed for 8, comfortable for 6 adults as there are 3 bedrooms. No privacy for the pullout couch but again, not a problem because we didn't use it.Great welcome snacks and a cool coffee corner with snack, Kpods, Npods and beans! Nice addition, thank you! The house has a great outdoor space on a deadend of the canal. It was raining sideways when we visited but this outdoor space is awesome! We'll be back in the summer to enjoy it! Thanks again!
We had a wonderful stay at Timothy's place! The home is beautiful and in a nice, safe and quiet neighbourhood, but still close to amenities. The home was
Nice home, more of a residential area than we thought it would be but quiet neighborhood. Lots of "in the city" rules but overall a good place to stay.
