Magical SF Bay Beachfront Luxury Retreat! Spectacular Spot! Weekly Special Rates

Waterfront home - on the beach in charming Point Richmond, furnished in tribal art and Asian antiques!

Huge bay views from your own big deck, from the lovely living and dining areas, from the master bedroom space, from the modern kitchen - even from your shower! Hear the waves - and watch the pelicans! Ideal for small workshops or visiting families - or a special romantic getaway for two!

Close to SF and Berkeley, and minutes to Marin County. Take the ferry into the City, or visit the ocean, wonderful parks, and the nearby Napa and Sonoma Valleys!

We are delighted to host visiting healers for group and private sessions. The location is available as a base for visitors and tourists to the Bay Area, or as a couples retreat - or for film-making or writing. We are delighted to host visiting healers for group and private sessions.

The completely equipped and private unit has a modern kitchen with bamboo cabinets, living area, dining area and two bathrooms, one with a walk in shower, with fabulous views of the bay. And your own private deck, right over the beach! Hardwood floors with tribal carpets, exquisite Asian antiques and artwork collected from around the world.

In addition to two private bedrooms, there is a third sleeping area, which seems to be everyone's favorite! It opens onto the deck with sliding glass doors - and the view and sounds of the bay are amazing! It's furnished with a queen sized bed, an incredibly comfortable eco-friendly Keetsa Tea Leaf mattress, and Japanese tansu chests - and can be partly separated from the main living area by Asian screens.

Come join us in this magic and healing place where you can eat your breakfast and watch the pelicans dive for theirs! You can wake up and go to sleep listening to the waves. The sunsets will take your breath away and the views are just outstanding. The location is excellent for going to San Francisco, to Berkeley and other east bay spots, Marin, and Napa. But you just might find yourself happy to stay put and have a relaxing vacation in this seaside village.

We both love Richmond and particularly, Point Richmond, the bay area's best kept secret! The shoreline is amazing! There are public sand beaches, wonderful hiking trails at Nichol Nob, excellent live community theater, world class restaurants, a thriving art and music community, an award winning municipal swimming palace, a rugby bar that's a great place to watch Steph Curry and the Warriors win another one, a terrific ladies clothes store, beautiful Asian antique furniture and more.

Guest Access: Private access through a garden path between black bamboo and huge birds of paradise!

Interaction with Guests: We totally respect everyone's privacy. There is no check in procedure at our retreat; you simply arrive and make yourself at home. During your stay we may have the opportunity to say hello, usually when you are arriving or leaving with your car or on a walk through the neighborhood. Or, please let us know if you would like to meet! We are friendly and well traveled - and do our best to be available if you have any questions or would like to learn more about the area!

Getting Around: Plenty of street parking! House is located on a cul de sac in a beautiful residential neighborhood. Minutes from the freeway - ten minutes to either Berkeley or Marin County! It is a lovely walk into the center of Point Richmond. And our favorite way to go into San Francisco is by ferry. There is a new ferry directly from Point Richmond!

A NOTE ON 2025 BOOKINGS: We love to know just a little bit about each person who will be staying at the house! We also ask that you let us know, in advance of booking, of the ages of any children in your group - and if you plan to invite visitors onto the property.

As we are trying to leave as much empty space as possible between bookings, we are now prioritizing reservations of six nights or longer. We offer both weekly and monthly discounts for longer stays!

We look forward to hosting you for your stay in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Enchanting Home with Stunning Views and Gracious Hosts

My husband and I eagerly anticipate our annual October retreats to Vivien's enchanting haven in Point Richmond. The moment we step inside, we're greeted by breathtaking vistas from the living room and deck—vivid sunsets melting into the horizon and the twinkling San Francisco skyline casting its magic. The home is a masterpiece of comfort and style, so well-appointed that it feels like our own personal sanctuary. Vivien and Jeff are the epitome of gracious hosts, their warmth and kindness making each stay unforgettable. Once we settle in, the tranquil waterfront setting is so mesmerizing that we find it nearly impossible to leave.

Perfect setting for a girlfriend reunion!

Five fabulous women stayed here for a yearly reunion. The location is amazing and the walk into town was scenic and fun ( look for the fairy houses!). The hosts were lovely and had some great recommendations for local sites and activities. The unit itself was very comfortable with all amenities listed. It slept the five of us comfortably. The deck with views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge was definitely the highlight of this beautiful place. Would definitely book again!

Peaceful & comfortable with an amazing view!

Our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens) stayed here as our home base for a one-week Bay Area adventure. Vivien was a wonderful communicator and offered great suggestions. She has an informative binder that details everything from local restaurants and grocers to how the light switches work. We all felt so comfortable relaxing in the morning, walking up and down some impressive hills into the picturesque town, and gazing over the water at the San Francisco skyline. I highly recommend staying in this lovely home! It was the perfect spot to serve as our home away from home as we explored Marin County, San Francisco, Muir Woods, Alcatraz, and even a road trip to Yosemite!

Our first visit to the Bay Area and we couldn’t have found a better spot. The breathtaking views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay at your footsteps with an amazing deck and beach. Vivien and Jeff were a wealth of information about all there is to do while we were there. If you’re planning a trip to the Bay Area this is the place to stay and we will not hesitate to stay here again if we get the opportunity to return.

Felt very safe, loved the views, and were very comfortable.

It was our family of 4. Two kids, 17 and 15. There was a great amount of room for our family. Kids both got their own rooms and we shared the “connected bedroom to the living room” with amazing views. We put up the partial dividers, which helped when someone wanted to stay in the living room later, or sleep in more. For us, it worked great, for 3 couples, it would be tough. The views were great. We loved seeing the city every night, even though we only went to San Fran 2 days. Those days were crazy and it was so nice to spend the quiet nights home. We loved our stay. Birds were great, saw sea lions 1 day, felt safe and would definatley return. Thanks for a great trip!!!

Quiet house centrally located & right on the water

Quiet neighborhood with a deck right on the Bay. Two days we even saw a harbor seal off the deck! Easy to get into San Francisco over Golden Gate Bridge or via the Richmond ferry. Went to Stinson beach, Golden Gate Park, Pier 39, rode cable cars, and returned to our lovely house listening to the waves throughout the evening. Great location for a family adventure.

What a View!

I showered with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. That would be enough but then there's a whole incredible home attached to it! This property sits across the bay from San Francisco with a lovely view of the city skyline and the bridge and was enough speace for the 5 of us. Nestled at the end of a quiet, safe little neighborhood and literally steps from the water, this property is perfect for a trip to SF. 30 min by ferry or car to downtown, lots of dining and shopping options nearby, all with the peace and solitude of a waterfront property. I cannot wait to go back.

Amazing views and upper level.

We rented the house to see family in the bay area. Overall it was fantastic, and I hope to stay here again when I come back!! Pros: View! Sunsets, the bay, 2 bridges, mountains, ducks, ships. At night stars and the city lights. Could sit there all day. Upper level- big open space, tons of windows. Lots of places to sit. Kitchen- huge and well equipped. Hot tub- Nice wood tub, views. Beds- comfortable. The one in the suite is the most comfortable ever. Cons: Downstairs bedrooms: The doors are mostly glass with a blind so it’s not very private. Initial check in- the house is a little hard to find as are the stairs leading down to the house.

Amazing vacation!!

We loved our stay at Vivien’s beach front home. Our hosts were very kind and accommodating, they stayed in contact with us the entire stay and were very responsive. They were always willing to share recommendations and ask if there was anything we needed. The view from the deck is amazing and the breeze and the sounds off the bay were an amazing way to wake up each morning and wind down in the evening. The shower was fantastic with plenty of hot water to go around for 4. Coffee, tea, shampoo, body wash, soap, tp, towels and spices were all in more than adequate supply for our week long stay. Location made a perfect home base for our vacation making San Francisco, Muir Woods, Napa, Point Reyes, Sausalito, HWY1 all very easy to access from a central location. If we come back to the Bay area to continue exploring we definitely would stay again!
