LIES IN THE LISTING - ONLY 4 BEDROOMS!!!

The listing claims 5 bedrooms and 7 beds. THIS IS A LIE! The house has 4 bedrooms and 5 beds. Host was argumentative and unwilling to make things right by me and my team some of which had to sleep on couches. Host texted morning of check out and told us to leave by 10am when the listing says 11am. The house is old and outdated. Worst experience EVER!!!Do not rent from this liar.

Good place to stay for a quick overnight trip to marin.

This property offered a great water view and plenty of space, which made it perfect for our group of eight to stay comfortably. While the home hasn’t had many updates since it was originally built, we actually found that added to its charm.The backyard could use a bit of landscaping and cleanup, but the outdoor seating was great—we enjoyed appetizers out there and even did some fishing off the dock.One downside was that the master bathroom didn’t have hot water, though the other three bathrooms did, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. The beds were very comfortable, and the bedding was exceptionally clean.The host was also wonderful—very responsive whenever we had questions or needed anything. We had a little delay getting acces information, but once we called him, it all worked out. We were told chdckout would be 10, but after we asked for and extra hour he was kind and extended it. The home is located in a lively neighborhood, which we found to be kind of cool. On Friday night, there were a lot of street vendors set up on the street nearby, and we found some delicious, authentic Mexican food just around the corner on Canal Street. That was definitely a cool bonus!

Listing is not accurate

House is a 4 bedroom home with 5 beds, there is no 5th bedroom. Location approximation on the map shows the house on one side of the river when its really on the other. Neighborhoods are VERY different from one side to the other. Booked our stay before the other review stating the same was posted. If you're traveling with younger kids, worth noting that the front door has no additional locking mechanisms inside other than it locks when it shuts, so them opening the door if someone knocks or opening the door and walking out easily is a concern. Also the slider in the master doesn't lock and is secured by a wooden dowel, and one of the bathrooms has a door directly to the back patio/river area. Check in communication from the host was clear and easy, but again, until this listing is updated, it is not a 5 bedroom and is not located where the pin approximates, so take that into account when considering booking.

NOT 5 bedrooms!

Hmm where to start … the view and location was quite nice. My complaint is that the listing says it is 5 bedrooms and it is NOT. Why? Why do they list it as a 5bedroom and provide photos for 5 bedrooms when it is only 4 bedrooms?!? We rents it because we needed 5!!!Also, the electrical outlets did not work - in the primary bedroom we could not find one plug that worked. The lamps did not work, the tv didn’t work, and we couldn’t charge our phone. The space itself was nice and functional and the kitchen was very well stocked and had everything you need. Communication was weird. A video was sent with check in instructions—which were easy. No address was given and then on check out day the owner tried to FaceTime me at 8:15am!!! And then texted that check out was 10am when the posting clearly states 11am. When I told him I wasn’t leaving until 11am and sent him a screen shot of the posting he acted like he was doing me a favor letting us stay until 11am. Lame. I did not complain about any of this - largely because of his reaction to the renter right before us (whose review was not posted when I reserved the property, or I would have known it was only 4 bedrooms). We were all women staying there and did not want any trouble. I’m hoping this review makes him change the post—also, there is some reference to a Hawaiian oasis in the post—not even close. Maybe he repurposed an old listing?? The property was fine, I’d have been much happier if the listing was ACCURATE!

Beautiful Water-side Property

Stayed here for a small gathering of friends for a weekend and could not have been more happy. This Vrbo had than enough space for our 8 person and 1 dog stay, and the large entertainment areas made it easy for everyone hang out and relax. Although we didn't have time to use the hot tub, the host let us use a kayak they had on site and we had a great time taking turns kayaking in the canal. The weather was beautiful, which added to how nice the location is. Check in and check out was easy and simple, and the host was extremely responsive to all questions I had prior to the stay and even during our stay.
