Good location, poor property

As soon as we opened the door, we knew we were in trouble. Place smelled very musty, and smell never dissipated. We would have tried drying the place out with the woodstove, but its stove pipe was very rusted, had a visible hole in it and appeared very unsafe. There were two electric heaters in the hall, poorly installed, one of which was too noisy to use. The bathroom lacked a working fan, so bathroom and house became damp when taking showers. We spent six nights, and when we left all of our clothes and suitcases smelled bad of mildew. Took two washings for our clothes to get mildew smell out.

Stinson beach cottage

My boyfriend and I have stayed at this little cottage several times. It is a sweet, clean spot in a great location. Wander down to the beach with coffee and/or champagne. Great spot to cook meals or walk down the beach to restaurants. Bed is very comfortable. Very relaxing there always

Great little cottage steps from the beach

This was the second time we rented this property. It is perfect for a family of four. It was very clean when we arrived and provides all the basics for cooking and beaching. It is a lovely short walk to the beach, no shoes required. I appreciate the ease of booking, checking in, and checking out. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Great location

This little cottage is everything it says it is. I was shocked at how close it was to the beach. Quiet and had all the amenities you need. Very clean and the kitchen was great. I would come back! The staff at Highway one properties were delightful!

Great for a small family

Perfect size for our young family of 4. We enjoyed the location and the beds were comfortable. We found plenty of towels, but could’ve used more than 2 washcloths for the 4 of us. There were plenty of numbers provided to call for issues, but we didn’t want to bother our hosts late into the evening or early in the morning (really the only times we were at the house for the two nights we stayed), so we made due! Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

Relaxing time at Stinson Beach

The cottage was wonderful. It is a few houses from the beach and about a quarter mile to the town. The house was well stocked with kitchen equipment and had everything we needed to cook. It was clean. We loved the fireplace and stocked wood to have a nice fire on a rainy day. The only issue was the internet which had a few times when not available. It reminded us we were there to unwind and disconnect so not a problem.

Cute, cosy apartment steps from the beach

My family and I enjoyed a week at this rental and felt right at home. The location can't be beat, the kitchen and patio grill were perfect for all the cooking we did. We definitely hope to stay again.

Wonderful getaway at the beach

Great little place that felt like a cottage by the sea. No dishwasher so if you cook a lot you'll be doing lots of dishes, but no big deal. Extremely comfortable beds and only steps to the beach!
