Vista Mill Valley has the details inside and outside that warrant your consideration. Inside, the property has nice furnishings, from granite counter tops to the Fisher & Paykel gourmet gas range. The bedroom has an 8 ft glass window and a 10 ft sliding glass door. The living room has another 8 ft window, making the wooded lot a part of your experience. Your unit has its own deck, accessible from the bedroom or the main entrance. Your water view includes Richardson Bay, Tiburon, the Sausalito houseboats, Angel Island, the East Bay hills, and, on a clear night, the lit-up cranes of the Oakland waterfront, across the Bay.
Why Mill Valley?
Mill Valley is popular for visitors from around the world because it is minutes from San Francisco, yet a world apart. Famous for its wooded hillsides and water views, Mill Valley has been the home of many notables, from Jerry Garcia to Janis Joplin. Grab a coffee in our downtown, and you might just recognize a few of our current residents.
If you've not been the the San Francisco Bay Area before, do stay in San Francisco for at least one night. But then come join us here in Mill Valley, for the perfect northern California experience.
Why this property?
Before putting this unit on the market we completed a major remodel, taking much of the property down to the studs. All the small details - sophisticated lighting, built-in speakers, etc. - contribute to a great experience. The kitchen is small, so we made it special, with a gourmet gas range, granite counter tops, etc. The deck was always nice, but we made it nicer, with Brazilian teak, and cable railings. And the exterior path and steps have been redesigned, to better leverage the garden.
Mill Valley has many wonderful properties, but some of them are time-consuming to get to. This property is only 1.1 miles from the freeway ramp.
Two considerations: 1) Like many San Francisco, Sausalito and Mill Valley properties, this unit does not have air conditioning. 2) It's about 40 steps to the unit. Not 40 in a row (there are multiple landings) and most of the steps are low-rise, but do read the reviews and make sure the property is right for you. Thanks!
April 14, 2025 - In the interest of full disclosure, construction on a new home just down the street has started. So far the noise has not been an issue, but I never want guests to feel that they weren’t told about something that they should have been. I think my property is benefitting by the fact that the construction site isn’t actually visible from the rental - because of the slope of the hillside plus some trees that are in the way. The crews also seem to pack-up by 4:30pm - that’s common in the Bay Area since evening traffic can be bad and “the trades” try to be in front of the worst of the commute. Reach out if you have any questions!
Aug 14, 2025 update: The structure is in the framing stage now; that means hammers. Marin County allows construction noise to begin at 8am, and this seems to be happening. The good news: so far, all construction activity is over by 4pm each day. Some periods are weirdly quiet. Again, reach-out to me if you have any questions.
- "Very relaxing. Unit is clean and has a beautiful view. Bill is organized and was attentive." - "Bill’s place in Mill Valley is just beautiful! He has thought of every detail. His place is immaculate, close to town and so comfortable!….and did I mention the view from the deck? Great place to enjoy an evening conversation or drink or both!" - "We could not have asked for a better place to stay on our visit to Mill Valley. Not only was the apartment very clean and organized, it was within walking distance to family. There was an amazing view that we took advantage of, too. This location is close to the things we love to do (biking, hiking, Muir & Stinson Beaches, Point Reyes, restaurants & shopping). And not far away are great outdoor places to explore. Bill was extremely helpful and responsive. We hope to stay here again on our next visit to CA."

Very private coastal home nestled at treetop level yet with dramatic ocean views from every room. House was built and finished October 2010. Light filled house with sky lights, soaring ceilings, floor to ceiling windows with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Headland Mountains, crashing waves and San Francisco beyond. Huge wrap around deck, private deck off master bedroom with Adirondacks and lounge chair for sunning, relaxing, watching the waves or nighttime stargazing. Hawks and falcons fly overhead as whales and dolphins pass by at various times of the year.
After a day of hiking the endless coastal and mountain trails, watch the moon rise from your living room window seats, enjoy a BBQ on your deck, take a deep bathtub soak to relax, and finally get lulled to sleep at night by the sounds of the crashing Pacific waves and the far off fog horn which escorts boats through the Golden Gate Bridge!

- "Stunning! This was my wife's first trip to California and seeing the Pacific Ocean. Hence, this was the perfect place to make that lifetime impression. It was simply spectacular! The pictures online were helpful, but being there in real life was amazing! The views were fantastic, the wildlife was exciting to see and interact with, and the proximity to various things we wanted to see and do was wonderful. It was so cool to see the moon rise over Muir Beach as we sat in bed. And then to have the beautiful sun rises too! I genuinely feel I couldn't have picked a better place. It was so relaxing we were hesitant to leave and do other things. We could have simply sat on the deck chairs and watched the days go by. As someone who cleans homes for a living, I'm probably one of the worse people to have as a guest. Having said that, the property was spotless! Things were so well taken care of and clean. I was very impressed! An added benefit of our stay was being able to use the laundry. After five days of hiking in Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, a washer and dryer were a welcome relief! If you do choose to stay here, do venture out and visit the Muir Beach Overlook that's up over the hill behind the property; spectacular views! Good place to watch the sun set too! Muir Woods is nearby, within 3 miles - take the back road to get there. And the Pelican Inn has good food and a wonderful old English pub vibe to it. Our visit was worth every penny spent!"

We could walk into the charming town of Mill Valley in two minutes and also had easy access to all the other places we like to go when we’re in that area. It is mentioned in the description that the only sink is in the bathroom, but it was easy to work around that for our breakfasts and occasional dinner in the room with take out food. We felt very at home."

My nephew Jeremy Tuffli built the beautiful one of a kind mobile kitchen island and coffee table/desk especially for this space as well as designing and building the driveway, patio and pathway spaces to the back house.
We have a “little free library” on the street in front of the house that my daughter Camille built with a family friend a few years ago. We invite you to take some books or leave one while you are here.
- "The place is cozy, clean, beautiful, and modern. The host is commutative and went above and beyond to make our stay truly relaxing. Thank you so much Caroline🙂" - "We had a wonderful stay at Caroline’s cottage. It was cozy, beautiful and sunny. The location was very convenient to SF as well as to various state parks. Would definitely stay here again." - "We had a really nice time in Caroline's place. The location is spectacular" - "This was the best VRBO we have stayed in, ever! The host is awesome and you can’t beat the location and amenities. Just a great place!"

This is a sweet retreat nestled in the eucalyptus trees, a 5-10 minute drive from hiking trails in the Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, Muir Beach and Green Gulch Farm, 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.

It’s a 25 minute drive to Stinson Beach, 15 minutes from San Francisco, and is situated in the heart of trail hiking heaven. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the back deck for resting and enjoying the trees and views. Mitch and Susan were super friendly! Thanks for a great stay!" - "Such a peaceful place to rest after the hustle and bustle of being in the city. Mitch and Susan's place is simple, nicely decorated and had everything we needed.

- "Overall, an excellent property. NOT cheap, but this is Mill Valley after all, and the apartment is very well located, in excellent condition, clean and with everything you need for a self-contained stay. Some instructions in the property would have been nice (for example, how to work the lounge fire as the mornings were freezing with no other means of heating), but this is a small quibble." - "My wife and young daughter enjoyed our stay here. Really clean and comfy place with great beds and excellent shower and tub. It’s quiet and well equipped for staying in and relaxing. Great deck that gets sun, nice kitchen, parking…and a central location to downtown and hiking. Couldn’t ask for anything more. We’ll be back."

- "Great place for a long weekend. Walking distance to the beach and a great starting point when you want to spend a full day in Point Reyes national park. Highly recommend going to the Elk reserve in the North at the end of the day during rutting season. Check in instruction was a bit confusing as there are other "blue doors" on the parking lot. Instead, after parking, walk back towards the entrance and take the pathway left of the entrance. You will see the cabins along the pathway."

- "Check in process was very easy and directions were very clear to locate the property. Nice separation of bedrooms with one bedroom on the top floor and one bedroom on the main floor created privacy during the night. Lots of window windows and light in the property brought the sunshine in during the day, which was nice. Small kitchen, very well stocked and usable. " - "My wife and I recently spent 5 days at this beautiful home. Spacious and in pristine condition. Located amongst the redwoods in a quiet residential area. Three decks provide plenty of outdoor space. A 5-10 min walk down the hill gets you to the town of Mill Valley (coffee shops, restaurants, markets etc).

It’s about 30 minutes to wine country and only 10 minutes to Muir Woods and the beach. The place is small but plenty of room for a couple and maybe some small children. There’s a huge deck, so it feels bigger.The hosts were very responsive to all messages and took care of everything immediately. I will definitely stay here again. "

The apartment is located in a walkable flat area, but also steps away from great hiking and biking. There is plentiful free and safe parking on the street.
The space
NEWLY RENOVATED!! This comfortable 1 bedroom apartment sleeps 4 people. It contains 1 queen bed, and 1 double bed in a fold out couch. It has a full kitchen with an outside deck. The deck overlooks a yard that other full-time tenants have exclusive use of. The bathroom has a shower only.
It's located two blocks from beautiful Downtown Mill Valley. Mill Valley is only 15 minutes north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. The quaint town offers gourmet restaurants, the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, cafes, shopping, trail heads and a movie theater. A walkable flat area, but also steps away from great hiking and biking. Plentiful free and safe parking on the street. You can't beat the location.
It's perfect for parents visiting their children or grandchildren in the area, or for wedding guests attending the Outdoor Art Club. A pack and play crib is available upon request. With nice linens, plush towels, it's much more welcoming and homey than a hotel room.
Easy driving access to San Francisco sightseeing, to beautiful Marin scenery and wildlife. 15 minute drive (or 2.6 mile hike) to the Muir Woods National Monument, old growth redwood forest and to beautiful Muir Beach. It's only a 5 minute drive to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area hiking trails, including Tennessee Valley Road trail, where an easy 1-3/4 mile hike takes you to the beach. Mountain biking is nearby and kayaking tours of the Bay are available in Sausalito. It's an 8 to 10 minute drive to downtown Sausalito where you can eat a meal by the water or stroll by the Bay on the Sausalito Marina. There are ferries to San Francisco leaving from Sausalito and Larkspur.
A 45 minute drive takes you to wine country in Sonoma or Napa, or to the Point Reyes National Seashore.
The unit is on the ground floor (no stairs) of a 2 story, 3 unit building. It has a private entrance.
There is a family living upstairs so expect to hear footsteps above when they are home. There is also limited privacy between the deck and the adjacent yard if the other tenants are using the yard.
Sorry, no pets allowed.
We require a $100 cleaning fee for every reservation.

This Redwood Cabin is situated on one acre of land is is surrounded by six acres of natural preserved redwood forests with miles of hiking trails, stunning views of the San Francisco Bay, and peaceful silence and seclusion. While the cabin is truly nestled into a redwood forest, it’s also only a short walk or drive to downtown Mill Valley and only 30minutes away from the heart of San Francisco.

Tom is an excellent host and we will definitely be coming back." - "Unique cabin with a wonderful view! Spotlessly clean and very cozy. Early morning coffee on the deck came with two deer passing within 5 feet of me. Interesting bird watching. Close enough to town to get a pizza or get to a fancy restaurant. The host was wonderful, helpful and eager to provide anything we needed. For a very different and special weekend getaway I would highly recommend."

Lovely Home and Lush Gardens
Exceptional Opportunity! This lovely, one-story home is 1700 sq. ft. (150m2) in the Streamline Moderne (Art Deco) style, has a large living room and fireplace, dining room, two (2) bedrooms, one of which doubles as a spacious office, two full bathrooms, and a well-appointed, eat-in kitchen.
NOTE: The minimum rental period is 31 days
Very close to the charming downtown of Mill Valley, the house gets a terrific walk score of 86 (Very Walkable).
The kitchen features high-end appliances (Viking stove and microwave, Miele washer, dryer, and dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator) and a charming breakfast table with two chairs overlooking the garden. Off the kitchen is a lovely nook with an exercise bicycle.
The private main bedroom, with its queen-sized bed, has lovely windows looking out over the beautiful greenery surrounding the seasonal creek. In addition, it has a comfortable sofa, coffee table, chest of drawers, and two closets. It also has a large flat screen TV with hundreds of channels, including HBO and Showtime.
The second bedroom at the front of this beautiful home looks out on to the lush, private, front garden and courtyard. It has a comfortable sofa bed, and includes large, built-in, white laminate working desks with two comfortable work stations and bookshelves. It is perfect for those who work from home.
The whole house, including the office, is served by our high-speed Wi-Fi network.
The gardens are marvelous. The private front garden welcomes you in through the front patio, with its comfortable lounge, grand fern, pomegranate tree and climbing roses. On one side of the house is the seasonal creek, with impressive gigantic bamboo and numerous trees, including an iconic redwood. On the other side of the house is a smaller garden area that showcases some of the owners' own ceramic sculpture and vegetable garden. Behind the house there is an intimate patio with comfortable seating, an outdoor dining table for six surrounded by flowers, herbs, and trees including a fig, apple, and pear.
Even though this house is very close to San Francisco, there's a fair amount of wildlife around. You may see deer by the creek, raccoons scampering along the decks, squirrels and birds, among other wildlife.
Few houses in Mill Valley have air conditioning. Even on the very hottest days of the year, though, this house is comfortable without needing air conditioning because of its reflective roof coating.
This is a primary residence--not a stripped-down rental property--so it's filled with personal effects, and quality art and furnishings. Note that the house isn't kid- or pet-friendly. If you will be traveling with young children, please reach out to us and we will provide you with a more specific description of why we feel that the property is unsuitable.
Even though this is a relatively new listing, the owners have had over 100 great reviews of themselves as AirB__ guests, emphasizing how clean they’ve left the rentals and how great they were to have as guests. Great care has been taken to ensure that this will be a unique, romantic place for guests to stay. The property is well-appointed, extremely comfortable, and meticulously clean. The owners will be readily available by phone and email to answer questions.
Another guest rented the house through a comparable service and left the following review: “ The Oasis is just that. What else could I call it? The house is an experience. At the start of the day, you either go for a walk to The Depot for whatever, because it’s all good. Or have coffee on one of the three side porches. Bamboo cluster, redwood, a garden so lush the ever-present hummingbirds feel spoiled. It is verdant and peaceful. Remote work, it could not be better. Escape hideaway? Perfect. Then there’s the amazing interiors…(If you are lucky you will interact with Dana or Christopher, try and chat outside of house items, they are fascinating). The Outspokentraveler.”
The city of Mill Valley is small (14,000 residents), but packed with services, entertainment, and boutique shops. The Smithsonian Magazine named it as the 4th best small town in America. There are several markets, including two Whole Foods and a farmers market, a cinema, and a wonderful library. There are lots of great walking areas and redwood groves, and the house is right down the street from a park with free tennis courts, two baseball diamonds and a handball court.
Mill Valley is just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, in Marin County at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais. The mountain bike was invented right here by cyclists who wanted to climb that mountain. It's easy to get to San Francisco by car, by bus, or by ferry from Sausalito. The house is also just a short drive away from lovely beaches, including Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, the huge Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the world-famous California Wine Country.
Peaceful - Comfortable - Well-Equipped
- "Beautiful Home w/Lush Gardens We loved our stay in Mill Valley. There are multiple different beautiful outside gardens, large & small, very inviting, with lovely outdoor seating, lighting, and an amazing sound / speaker system. We loved that! We were able to entertain our friends very comfortably and do plenty of dancing outside. The kitchen is totally workable, with super high end equipment. In the rest of the house, there is quite a lot of artwork, paintings, ceramics, sculptures . . . so I don't recommend this home if you have little children. There is a large room in the front that can serve as an office / studio if you are working remotely, with a big walk in closet for storage. The one thing that you should know is that there is really just one true bedroom, the other is a small room with a skylight, a bed, a tv, and pocket doors (no windows). I couldn't really tell this from the photos. There is also a sleeping nook off the kitchen, but with a curtain instead of a wall, so it's not at all private. We had a wonderful time here and the walk to town is very quick, with nice restaurants and coffee places. The host leaves very detailed instructions, information, and tips. It's also very easy to park right in front of the house, which we appreciated. Highly recommend! Date of arrival - August 12, 2022 Reservation ID #HA-BRFFR0"

Summary:
Listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach while enjoying a drink on you own private deck. Watch seals and dolphins play in the waves from your bed. This private hideaway has been in one family for the last 90 years and is now available to public. Brought to you by the same people that lovingly restored the Willow Camp Estate and R house Beach Villa. Romantic, private and just a short walk to the water.
The Space:
The Main house is a small and cozy with amazing view and decks all around. A old fashioned Murphy bed adds to the charm. The 2nd bedroom is detached and has unobstructed views of the ocean.
Guest Access:
Private gated entrance. Private gate and path to the beach.
The Neighborhood:
Situated on the most exclusive part of Stinson Beach, the Bluff offers views and privacy. Just a short walk out the back gate to the beach or town.
