About this property

Dreamcatcher - A BoHo Bungalow in the heart of San Rafael

Set back along a tree line neighborhood street in downtown San Rafael sits a cozy, artsy bungalow set in with tall redwoods and bamboo, a view of Mount Tamalpais welcomes you home. Walking distance to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, United market, and all that downtown 4th street has to offer- cafes, restaurants, bookstores, and the cute San Rafael Theater.

Walking distance to the San Rafael transit center, you can take the Marin Airporter from SFO airport for a $32p person.

Please note: I live here full-time, and because I'm delighted to host people from all over the world, and I love to travel, this allows me to do so. In that case, letting me know for sure that you will stay here is very much appreciated in advance and with certainty so I can also make travel arrangements:). My home is not a rental property, so if you are looking for something like a motel, please stay in a motel.
My home is your home to enjoy the good vibes!
For long term rental inquiries - I am seeking someone for summer and fall to stay for the duration of one to two months. Not available for the long term any other time. Prices are based on Double Occupancy and extra people are an extra cost to account for wear, tear and utilities.
Unfortunately, we have to pay Marin county a 12% tax fee just like every hotel does. Thanks for understanding!

Spacious and comfortable
For an extended family of 6 this home provided space and enough beds for all. The location was perfect for our needs too. Would highly recommend Jocelyn’s home to anyone coming to San Rafael.

Wonderful home to stay and feel comfortable
My fellow teachers and I had a wonderful time at our teacher conference. It was so nice to come home to a beautiful house to reflected on the days lectures and workshops. Thank you for offering your home to the world to stay and feel comfortable. The neighborhood is close to San Rafael and it was so nice to go for a walk. Jocelyn's home is clean and well taken care of. She is responsive and a great communicator with her guest. Thank you for everything!

Beautiful, peaceful, retreat-like home
Jocelyn is a wonderful hostess. She communicates clearly and is easy to reach with any questions and checks in to see how we were doing upon arrival. Everything is laid out very nicely and has such beautiful home touches. The bathroom and kitchen are very nicely remodeled and everything just feels nicely done and decorated. Netflix and Disney plus were a hit with the kids as well. Our little family of five had the most pleasant stay and Jocelyn’s home acted as the most peaceful home base for our trip. Thanks Jocelyn!

About the host

Hosted by Jocelyn

Host profile image
Hello!
I'm an Interior Designer, Fine Art Photographer, and a single mom of a 14yr old son. We love to travel and meet new people all over the world! Renting my house allows me to explore the world like yourself so I am so grateful when I get a booking. However, I also live here full time and sometimes we can't take off which means It's best to check in with me first before you book to see if we can arrange something.

Why they chose this property

My place is unique and off the street easy to get to all the sites in the north and east bay. The city is a lovely ferry ride out of Larkspur landing. San Rafael is a warm sunny place cleaner than the city for sure! Close to the very popular Terrapin Crossroads.

What makes this property unique

Fully stocked foodie kitchen. If you're expecting an empty and typical motel kitchen, this is not a place for you. There is pour-over coffee or a french press with an electric water kettle and all kinds of tea for your use. Welcome to cook and use any condiments you find. If you can't find anything, please ask as I don't put notes all over the kitchen - Happy to walk you through the kitchen anytime.
