Perks for the Parents

A bright and sunny family home in Mill Valley, walkable to playgrounds, restaurants and cafes. It sleeps 7. The house is well set-up for family stay with an open kitchen layout and play area, as well as a short walk to restaurants, cafes, shops and a movie theater so you can always find easy entertainment or quick family meals. The property also has an additional dwelling unit (ADU) which is perfect for a nanny or accompanying grandparents, or even a quiet office space, with its own kitchen, living area and bathroom.

Why Kids Love it

The residence has plenty of toys, books and art supplies, as well as a beautiful yard with a playhouse for sunny, warm outdoor play, so it’s great for children of all ages, including toddlers and babies. This home is on a safe, quiet street and is approximately a 5-minute walk to 2 playgrounds and just a 10-minute walk to downtown. For parents with babies and toddlers, there’s a gorgeous nursery room with a crib, changing table and toys.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 5 nights. Safety notes: there is one stair gate to separate off the first and second floor. The property is fenced in so children cannot run onto the street. Parking is readily available but car rental is not essential. It’s around half an hour from San Francisco for the city attractions and international airport.

About the Location

The house is located 10 minutes’ walk from picturesque downtown Mill Valley in Marin County, California. It’s a five-minute walk from two children’s playgrounds, between Sycamore Park and Boyle Park. It’s located on a flat lot so it’s perfect for biking and strollers. The central location means it’s an easy walking distance from multiple restaurants, bars, and open air cafes that are perfect for families. For more challenging hikes, it’s just a few minutes from the beautiful trails of Mount Tamalpais.

Accommodation Details

The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, set over 2 floors and the separate unit in the backyard has 1 queensize bedroom and 1 bathroom. In the main house, you’ll find a large open floor plan on the ground floor: a formal living room, open kitchen and spacious family room with 2 kid-friendly bedrooms (1 twin, 1 nursery with a crib + a twin) and full bathrooms. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a kingsize bed and a private bathroom, plus an attached office.

Style Notes

Serene and light. This home is a sun-filled, colonial style, shingle home. It attracts a lot of natural light and is very private, with lots of vegetation and an expansive backyard. Filled with beautiful art and furniture, the house feels elegant yet fresh and relaxed. We love the beautiful multi-aspect windows which flood the rooms with light, the pretty textiles in the nursery and the traditional roll-top bathtub.

Mill Valley, Marin County

At the base of Mount Tam

Voted as one of the top 10 small towns in America to live in, Mill Valley, four miles north of San Francisco, has everything to offer a family, from superb kid-friendly beaches within a five-minute drive to hikes around Mount Tamalpais, family-friendly restaurants and cafés, and a lovely downtown with parks, playgrounds and interesting independent stores.
