About this property

Incredible Waterfront Property, Pool, Boat, Gardens, and More!

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, swings, trampoline, chicken coop, pool, dock, 2 man kayak, paddle board and sandy beach on Novato creek with tikki torches! (Be sure to watch the video!) 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 Christian 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...child’s zip line, organic flower garden, pool, trampoline, beach, dock, SUP paddle board, kayak, bikes and scooters!

· Close to San Francisco and many other beautiful places!

From SFO there is the Marin Airporter that leaves every 1/2 hour that can take you within 5 minutes to the house.

Note: We rent our separate in-law penthouse out so the laundry room is shared.


Hope to have you in our lovely home this summer….Sincerely, Stacey and Brian Kaplan

Great stay!
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.

Family friendly, good location
We had a great time staying at this house. Brian could not have been more helpful and was easy to contact. The pool is great and the view is lovely. The beds are different from the description and there are now no single beds but Brian brought us an airbed to use, thanks Brian!

Great for parents of kids of all ages
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!!!

Relaxing landing place
We were in the area to do some sightseeing. It was wonderful to return each afternoon to relax in the private pool! The owners bent over backwards to make us feel welcome in their home and area. We would come back in a heartbeat!

We all had a great time.
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!
