Another great stay

We try to get a beach stay in at Stinson at least once a year. We love being able to bring our dog to enjoy the beach, weather, hikes and patio dining. We also need a place that allows us easy access to the beach and town and chill time in the yard. This house delivers on all accounts.And, the king size bed is so comfortable.Karen is great to work with-responsive and accommodating.

Amazing Beach Cottage!

This is our second stay at this great beach cottage -- super-close to Stinson Beach! Perfect layout for our family, with nice living room space, open kitchen/dining room, and three bedrooms. Televisions everywhere. Comfortable beds, particularly the king. Kitchen appointed with everything you could possibly need to cook extravagant meals. Backyard with hot tub (very clean!), seating and dining areas, and a gas grill. My wife and I worked for several days and found the living room table and the kitchen table perfect for taking calls -- fast WiFi. Pet friendly! Rent this great cottage!

Perfect Stay in Stinson

This property was great for myself and 3 friends during our long weekend stay while running a trail race in Stinson Beach. The location was amazing and the property had everything we needed and more. The host is top notch (A+!) with communication, providing us with a list of restaurants and local hikes. Thank you so much, we'd definitely stay here again!

Go here it is awesome

Stuff we LOVED about our stay here: Used the hot tub for hours each night for hours. Loved the location just yards from the ocean. Loved the location for a little walk to town and the Matt Davis trailhead. This place was well furnished and clean. There were plenty of linens and a wide variety of appliances. We did not stay with littles but if that is in your realm this place is PERFECT. There is a great two twin bedroom wiht it's own tv. the outdoor shower also made it very easy to get the wetsuits off and get clean before going inside from the beach. Great place and thank you for this experience of staying here.

Lovely house. The most comfortable beds! Well stocked kitchen. Hot tub and outside patio were great for late afternoon lounging after a day at the beach (which was steps away, btw) Owners were great with communication and lovely to deal with. We stay in Stinson a lot. We like this area of the beach and this is one of the better houses with beach access. We will be back!

Lovely Summer Get Away

We booked this stay with the hopes of leaving the valley heat and enjoying time at Stinson Beach and the surrounding area. We brought our dog and all three of us enjoyed our stay and the amenities inside and outside. The property is well maintained and it is evident that the owners care about their rental and want visitors to enjoy their stay. Very clean and comfortable. The king size bed was a dream to sleep on and the quality of the bed coverings was excellent! Karen was excellent to work with and very accessible, friendly, and helpful.
