You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront Getaway San Francisco area

The Edgewater is a stunning, serene home that has 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath home that sleeps 14 guests. This waterfront home is in scenic Mill Valley, with it’s own private beach, and located on the shore between Sausalito and Tiburon. It is close to San Francisco, Sausalito and Napa/Sonoma wine country!

Our home has been designed to give you a place to relax, reflect and connect. Whether you're looking for tranquility or a space to enjoy with others, our home is the perfect sanctuary!

Enjoy waterfront views, a large sunroom, a quiet walk in an upscale neighborhood and lovely shops, restaurants and fun activities.

This spacious professionally decorated home sleeps has a large living room and dining room with vaulted ceilings and large windows that fill the room with natural sunlight.

The beautiful well stocked granite chefs kitchen with high end appliances allows you to cook a lovely meal. As you look out, you’ll see the big backyard overlooking the bay, great for barbecuing, playing with the kids, or soaking up the sunny warm weather. The home has large custom artwork by local artist blending perfectly with the Asian antiques and contemporary decor and furnishings.

This unique place is perfect for family vacations, a friend’s getaway, business trips, attending a wedding/reception, extended stay due to home construction/updates or attending festivals, retreats or conferences.

Highlights:
- Master suite includes a balcony, perfect for overlooking the bay while having your morning coffee. A luxurious bathroom with 2 person jacuzzi tub and a 2 person shower.
- 2 Bedrooms with private patios just steps away from the shore.
- Sun room with a glass roof, a great place for yoga, to soak in the sun or read a book
- Bring your own kayak, wind surfer, or canoe and launch them from the property’s edge as your family and friends barbecue and hang out on the back deck.

It has everything that will make your stay simply memorable. Magnificent view of the water and distant mountains, migrating birds [seasonally], great restaurants within 10 minutes, famous vineries within 40 minutes drive, world famous parks within 25 minutes, classy shops 10 minutes. Most of our guests just want to stay here and do nothing but relax watching the Pelicans diving in the water, Canadian geese migrating, a family of deer grazing in the back yard. Or occasionally watching sea lions swimming in the water.

PLEASE NOTE:
No wedding, parties, get togethers, etc. are allowed at this home due respect for my neighbour's peace and tranquility.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS: The guests will have complete occupation of the property during their stay and thus total privacy without any interference.

All about the View!
Can’t beat the wall of windows with a stunning view from a spacious family/dining room with LoTs of comfy seating. Easy kitchen for serving a house full. Lots of bedrooms - several nicer open up couches in addition. One full and one 1/2 bath accessible to all and the 2nd full luxurious BR is off the master bedroom …but we still shared. Our disappointments were the rusty very tired back yard patios and furniture- The empty propane tank mid our one eve of grilling. ( we filled it fyi and did not gather outdoors at all unfortunately ) The washer/dryer malfunctioned upon arrival however owner very responsive and had repairman there readily. Tips to renters- no spices, even salt shaker empty. Finally found toilet paper on floor of hall coat closet (I dunno?). Despite some disorganization, the zen sitting room was unique and made up for little frustrations. Once we figured out how to crank open the skylight, it was less of a sauna and we could enjoy the space. Location, parking in driveway- excellent. We had a terrific time! Much much more good in this home! Recommend.

Perfect view/location
Host was so gracious and responsive throughout initial contact to follow-up after visit. The arrangement of bedrooms (two up, three lower level) fit our group of ten members from three generations perfectly. Neighborhood was upscale, quiet, tucked away but really easy to access. Staying north of the GG Bridge allowed us enhanced navigation to the many sites and restaurants we visited. The "beach access" is a little tricky for older folks or people who are not steady on their feet. We left our hearts not in SF but in Sausalito!

First time hosting my own Christmas Dinner for my family in the Bay Area (I’m based in LA) and it worked out really well. Pros: Overall it’s a great home with stunning views of the Richardson Bay. So Beautiful. Heated toilets, Woodsy Cabin Feel. Small Con: Could re-organize the kitchen storage a bit and keep more cleaning sprays or wipes available. I would rent again!

This house is fantastic. Nothing can beat the location and the views. The photos are totally accurate and if anything everything is a bit larger than what it seems. Shashi was very responsive and flexible. Anything mentioned below in not-so-great reviews we found to be no issue at all. Our group would re-visit this home in a heart beat.

Great location - nice common spaces
The location was great for us for sailing out of Tiburon and Sausalito and popping over to SF to see some friends. The house has access to the water and my in-laws and kid loved looking for shells and playing on the beach. The common spaces were nice, big sitting areas.

Location excellent, house not so good!
Great location with good views across the water and close but steep beach access. General condition of the house not up to snuff for this price. Only 2 1/2 bathrooms for 5 bedrooms is pushing it. TV entertainment system badly in need of update, one TV did not work at all, the other eventually produced a low resolution picture with permanent black line across screen. A lot of chipped mugs and no wine glasses in kitchen. Also non functional toaster ( which has been reported before!). Master bed needs new mattress, also noted before. Back yard/lawn in shoddy condition for a property of this type. A very nice sunroom and certainly a good house for a family get together, but the owner needs to spend some money on it to bring it up-to expectations.

A great experience
This is a beautiful and very well maintained property. The location is perfect for a large family get together, the view from the house is stunning, the rooms are nicely appointed and the house was clean and ready for use when we arrived. I would recommend replacing the mattress in the master bedroom and adjusting the water pressure in the downstairs bathroom.

Not what it seems
Besides beautiful view the house was dirty, had some awful beds, had broken showers, had mismatched lightbulbs in same fixture (at sink for example) and was hodge podge of rooms without adequate outlets. Fine if ok with lower standards as large and view great, but at this price point we were sorely disappointed. Oh, and the kitchen was awful with no adequate lighting, a broken toaster and zero staples.

Beautiful view and spacious house that comfortably fit our family of 13. Really nice area to go for walks in, and just a 10min drive to Sausalito. Our only complaint was that unfortunately the BBQ did not work, but the host was very apologetic and quick to respond. Overall, would strongly recommend this house, especially for large groups!

Stunning views, gracious home
We enjoyed the house, loved watching pelicans and ducks and perhaps even a pair of otters in the bay that the house faces. There was easy code access to the house and a kitchen you could cook in ( and we did) . It has lovely balconies facing the bay and 4 out of five bedrooms have that water view. It is less elegant more homey and that was a perfect fit for us. However there were ant problems that popped up several times and in different parts of the house, the kitchen, bathrooms and living room. It strangely didn’t seem related to food. In fairness we didn’t alert the owner until the morning we were leaving . The good news is the owner was immediately available on our first try and I imagine he will try and address the problem. It provided a very Picturesque and pleasant environment for our family’s holiday. There are toys for kids that we didn’t need but would be great for families with small kids. Wifi worked but we didn’t even try the tv. There was also a sunroom that doesn’t face the water but in warmer weather would be another great place for a family to gather, talk and play. With young kids one would need to be careful about getting to the small beach on the edge of their property which is on a steep slope with potentially hazardous stairs. . Mostly we just looked out the windows or enjoyed the sunshine on the balconies. Plenty hot water, never used the master bathroom’s jacussi .. but I would happily stay there again.

Location of home is fantastic. The home was large enough to accommodate our family reunion before Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time. The house is a bit worn. There are no screens and it wasn’t as clean as I would have wanted. Lots of spider webs. We could only use one shower for all of us because the downstairs had no water pressure. Overall it was ok for our 3day gathering. The manager was very accommodating.

Gorgeous View & Lovely Location
This house was everything we needed for our family vacation. Everybody from 10 months old and beyond very much enjoyed their stay in this home. The location was amazing as the house is right on the water with boats and seaplanes passing by just outside the window. We were close enough to visit relatives nearby, shop, seaplane tour around the bay and even a day trip up to Napa. We had a very smooth check-in & check-out and the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. One small thing was that the TV/entertainment system needed to be updated, I was lucky enough to have brought our AppleTV with us for some evening TV time. Other than that we had an absolutely lovely vacation and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Great retreat on the Bay!
This house is amazing. It's probably even better than advertised. The views are absolutely breathtaking, the private beach access down from the yard is a great plus, and the house itself was perfect for our weekend in the Bay. We golfed, went on a boat ride out of Sausalito harbor, enjoyed some of the local establishments, and mostly just hung out around the house and the grounds. Shashi was a gracious host who was even understanding when we accidentally broke something. Highly recommended.
