Beautiful grounds, fab food, well maintained docks - what's not to like?…read more We used to rent a boat slip at Loch Lomond, but hubby figured out it was much more cost effective to purchase a leasehold interest in a slip at MYC, even with the membership initiation and monthly dues. So when we upgraded to a bigger boat, it was relatively easy to sell our old slip and move to a larger one. An even better bonus was finding out that this marina is better protected from the wind. We love going to our boat now and just hanging out at the dock for lovely sunsets and cocktails! They also have a pool and 3 tennis courts.

In addition to the Marina there is a pool, 3 tennis courts also lined to pickle ball and a world class chef providing excellent dinners on the weekends. And added amenity is the super friendly members. The restaurant/clubhouse has been redecorated and is a wonderful place for parties. Plus it's just a great place to hang out. The bar has a epic view of the Bay and canal. The bartender Laurel is a real mixologist. It has become our home away from home. We are so glad we joined. Love it here!

There are some single track trail for hiking, some to share with bikes, and some that allow on leash dogs. With a little planning, you can hike or cycle to the coast!

We have been helped by some amazing people when we needed a hand and we've given water and jackets to those who were caught by early sunsets. Be kind.

I had a pretty great childhood, but I didn't have a park with a playground surrounded by redwoods…read more This park is amazing!! But wait, there's more! It's not just for kids here, as there are often people sitting or lying amongst the redwoods... reading, listening to the creek, or even forest bathing. I've done this and let hours slip away while I just zenned out here. It's also in a fantastic location- right next to the MV Library and the Friends of the Library Bookstore. It is a smaller park, and it's a very peaceful place. Come and enjoy, and please leave no trace. =)

I was driving my daughter to Marin from SF for more than 3 years 4-5 times per week. Crazy, right?…read moreNot quite. This is a place the people move in order to be close to. It deserves 10 stars. First, this is Rhythmic Gymnastics (quite rare sport, the one with ribbons and hoops, not the beams and bars ). Second, this is one of the best places for this sport on the West Coast, and actually, the US. The girls there (it is all girls sport) are the best in state, regional and national competitions. But the main thing we loved about this club is the coach. Coach Natasha is absolutely wonderful. She is strict, demanding, professional, and kind. She loves every one of her students, knows them and respects them. She is fair. My daughter placed 4th in the regionals and was in the junior Olympic team. But the things she learned there are far more valuable. She learned how to work, to concentrate, how to push herself to the limit, and how rewarding it is. She learned how to pull herself together and do it again, 5, 10, 100 times more. She learned true friendships, (the way the girls support each other I would never think possible). And that driving - I would do it again without hesitation. Thank you, Natasha! You can come for recreational sport or if you decide to compete the sky is the limit. There are two shows per year, one in January and one at the end of May, and if you are still thinking, take your small girl and come see for yourself, chances are you will not want to leave.

We've had a really good experience with Flying Dutchman. I like how flexible it is. There are some…read moregymnastics programs in Marin that have waiting lists--I'm not into that kind of extracurricular intensity. Flying Dutchman has open enrollment--you can take it one month at a time any time of the year. My younger daughter wanted to try out gymnastics, but also felt hesitant. I don't think there's anywhere else where we could have started in late spring and committed to only one month. And she was having enough fun to carry on until the end of the school year! Classes were fun and inviting. You pay by the month and get unlimited classes, which makes make up classes really easy. My other favorite thing about Flying Dutchman is how clean it is! I really appreciate that and how seriously hygiene is taken there. The Northgate location is super convenient.

Nadia takes special care in where she places children around the room: friends next to each other, kids playing similar games next to each other, coding kids next to each other, etc.. Both of my children started summer camps there at age 7, and they always request to go back! My kids love the mix of gaming time with outdoor team activities- egg drop, capture the flag, etc... My younger son loves the coding program and is learning so much and he's very proud of what he can create with JavaScript. My older son is neurodivergent and feels totally supported, even when he changes his mind or needs different levels of involvement- the entire Esporterz team is Neuro-affirming and does a great job listening to each of their camper's needs. I always appreciate Nadia's clear communication and quick response time, she's very involved in all the best ways! We are extremely appreciative of the skills they are teaching our kids: it's not just sitting on a gaming screen all day, it's interacting with peers and gaining new skills. My kids can't wait to go back!

They somehow manage to wrangle a pack of hyped-up kids, keep everyone happy and make it look effortless.

Harrison is already campaigning to attend their holiday and summer camps, which tells you everything you need to know. Highly recommend Esporterz!!!
