About this house rental

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!

I absolutely loved my stay here! The location is perfect — super close to downtown Mill Valley, Sausalito, Highway 1, and 101. There are also several great grocery stores and coffee shops just a few minutes away, which made everything really convenient.The view from the unit is incredible! On clear mornings, the sunrise was absolutely breathtaking — easily my favorite part of the stay. The deck, bedroom, and living room all share that same stunning view, and it was such a peaceful way to start (and end) each day.The host was wonderful — kind, responsive, and even helped carry our luggage up the stairs! I really appreciated all the thoughtful details and clear instructions provided in the unit, which made everything smooth and easy.The rental had all the essentials we needed, plus some unexpected touches like soft drinks and beer stocked in the fridge — so thoughtful and appreciated.One thing to note: there are quite a few stairs to reach the unit. As an active person, I actually enjoyed the extra exercise, but if stairs aren’t your thing, this might not be the best fit. If you don’t mind (or even enjoy) a little climb, I highly recommend this rental — it’s absolutely worth it for the views and overall experience!And I can't forget to mention that the homes located in the hills behind Mill Valley Library were sooooo cool to drive by and look at. It is a VERY narrow road and in many places only 1 car can fit in either direction but totally worth it!

Bill and Terry’s place was perfect for our trip. They were very thorough in ensuring the unit was clean and stocked. Check-in was simple and easy, and Bill walked us through the area, the unit, things to do, etc. The amenities included were perfect for our stay, the king sized bed was amazing, and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. If you’re on the fence about staying here, I would absolutely recommend it (if you’re able to walk up the stairs!). Thanks Bill and Terry!
