the house was fine for a couple of nights. the beds are very comfy, living room cozy, great big TV, and the hot tub was a plus, the kitchen has everything you need but items are not modern and pots/pans are not clean. there was an issue getting the heating going, the front yard was a mess, alarm for the septic tank went off in the middle of the night (every night!) and the street had some house bldg construction, noise that did not allow us to sit outside, the beach was great, just down the street, 10-15min walk to restaurants on the beach. the owner was attentive. I would not stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. Although it is cozy, the living area is very comfortable. We appreciated the gas stove which put out a lot of heat. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and dinnerware you need. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The entire house was clean, for that matter. Karen was very communicative. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!

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.
