We, the Kaplan family, are looking for a nice, responsible family to rent our home for select dates! We have a roomy, kid friendly home, located in a water community with large backyard including garden, pool, dock, 2 man kayak,all on Novato creek We are located in Novato California, ½ hour from beautiful San Francisco, the coast, Muir woods, and the Napa Valley! The house has four bedrooms (2 ½ bathrooms) which include 2 single beds, 1 double and 2 queen beds…there are three couches in the house and an elevated single inflatable bed that could be used for a larger group. Watch free Netflix movies on the home theater system or sing songs around our 1923 Ludwig baby grand piano. Or simply enjoy just relaxing and reflecting in our lovely home. We are definitely set up for people with kids…tons of toys, books, scooters, and bikes! We have great neighbors and could connect your family with locals to give you a non-touristy experience.
Key reasons why you would want to rent our home this summer~
· A convenient homey experience while on vacation!
· Less expensive.
· Lots of outdoor activities in the backyard..., pool, beach, large table with adjustable screened pergola above, dock, SUP paddle board, kayak, and bikes.

Our group of grandparents, parents, teens and toddler had a fantastic time at the Kaplan home. Check in and door code were easy and owner was kind to allow early entrance. We were wowed right away by the big dining table with Comfy, upholstered chairs, and the view of the beautiful mini grand piano and the custom pool and fields beyond in the backyard.
The kids loved the billiard and pingpong rec room and the beautiful white decor bedroom.
With four different bedrooms and a massive Master bedroom with a couch, there were private spaces for everyone in our 8 person group.
It was 100F during our stay so the big pool with a deep end was a hit, and when it cooled down we also enjoyed the nice clean hot tub.
The Novato location was close to shopping and convenient for our Bay Area, friends and family to come visit. Also close to visiting Snoopy Ice Rink in Santa Rosa, a SF Bay cruise, dim sum in Oakland, Berkeley Botanical Gardens, etc.
Thanks for an amazing Marin County vacay!!

The house is so awesome for kids of all ages, so much to do! Though the pool is open and the house is on a water way, so children who can not swim need to be watched at all times. Great for parents who want to have a wonderful home base that you don’t need to go on excursions to entertain you kids constantly. You can just sit back and watch them have fun! That said the owners kids are definitely grown so there might some minor cobweb clean up and trampoline hose down. I actually got permission to do some hedge trimming to make way for thier zip line 😂. I would like to note that the laundry is shared but there is a lockable door to the laundry area. We were there in summer so the pool not being heated was a non issue. The pool was warmer than most heated pools I’ve been in when we were there in mid July. The owners were helpful and personable. There was only 1 parking spot available and you can only park across the street after that but it never was much of a problem finding parking for my family who visited. We had a great time and would totally recommend!!!

We had a wonderful stay in Bel Marin Keys. It was perfect for a family vacation because the house was so kid friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Brian and Stacey’s home was clean, spacious, and well appointed with appliances and amenities. All the furniture was comfortable and could seat our whole family. There was so much for all of to do that we didn’t have to leave the house at all. We enjoyed the pool, ping pong table, streaming and live TV, kayak, and play structure. We cooked all our meals here as well and found everything we needed to do so. The only inaccuracy was that the listing showed two full baths and one half bath. None of us could locate the half bath until the third day. In a party of 9 people, this is kind of a big deal. Finally we found a hidden door in the solarium, concealing a clearly broken, inoperable, dirty toilet. But bonus: there was a baseball bat in there, which we needed for my son’s piñata!
