Great location, steps from the beach and just a 3 minute drive (or 10 minute walk) into town. The house had all the amenities we needed and the communication throughout our stay couldn’t have been any better. Highly recommended!

Our family (ranging from age 12 to 78) had an amazing stay at Karen and Tony’s Stinson Beach property. It is the perfect location; just a short walk to the beach or to town. The house was cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked so that we could easily cook our own meals, and the outdoor living spaces were just what we needed for soaking up the sun, playing games, and al fresco dining. We have stayed at this property several times because we love it so much and because Karen and Tony are such great hosts. Thank you!

Great location, wonderful spaces for families!

Had a great time with a wide range of family from grandparents, to teens and kids. Close to town (walkable), and outdoor spaces at the house were great for lounging -- eating, and playing. We particularly liked the ping pong table, hot tub and well-stocked game/ puzzle cabinet.

Felt like home at the beach

My family had a small reunion at this house. The kitchen was well equiped even for our large group. Every bed was comfortable. It can get cold at the beach and the gas fireplace was perfect. Lots of recliners was a big plus! Then the beach was 3 houses down so no driving. We were even close enough to walk to go ear out, but the neighborhood was quiet and safe. So many seating areas, everyone was comfortable. We loved this place and will return if we can.

Great for Multi-Generational Vacations!

My husband and I rented this house to stay with our two teens and three grandparents. Everyone had their own space. It was great to have the master suite upstairs, providing extra privacy for my husband and I. There was nice big communal spaces. The outdoor space was lovely but would have benifited from some maintenance. There was a lot of tall grass/weeds. But being so close to the beach it was not a issue. Will definitely keep this on my list for the future!

Simply one of the best VRBO homes we have ever enjoyed! Both the location and amenities to be found inside and outside were outstanding. There’s lots of room to enjoy curling up alone with a good book, for sharing time with friends/family on various outdoor patios or in the many warm and inviting rooms inside the home.

Grandpa's Birthday

Family trip for Grandpa's Birthday. Great house. Close to the beach. Everything you would want. The owner is a bit too involved. When I rent a vacation home, I really want no to limited contact with the owner. She didn't answer questions directly - always went off on another tangent. When I asked about early check in, she should have just said it wasn't available rather than string us along keeping us tethered to the property - Waiting. It is a very nice house. Good for a large family gathering. I, personally, did not enjoy the interactions with the owner.
