Beautiful spot - very convenient.

We had a beautiful stay, it's so nice to sit on the deck and have such an uninterrupted view. You can easily walk to a really good bakery and a couple bars/restaurants. Kitchen and bath are very small but we were mostly so that did not matter - view from the Queen bed is outstanding. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfectly located for a friend getaway including my pup. Right on a dog friendly beach, it was convenient for daily walks to town for delicious treats. Hostess Angela was super responsive to an issue we had with the water heater and had it repaired the next day. I would love to return to this beachfront gateway

Best location for a beach vacation

My husband and I had our son and granddaughter staying with us. The access to the beach right out our door was so perfect for my sand loving, wave hopping preschooler!The kitchen was sufficient for our meals that were prepared as we went. It is within walking distance to downtown Stinson, where we enjoyed latte’s and treats. My son was able to crab fish right out our front door, and we were thrilled to be able to enjoy the fruit of his labor. Perfect!

Gorgeous beachfront

Stinson is our magical spot and we were so happy to find a cute BEACHFRONT property that is reasonably priced, walking distance to town and dog friendly. We love the master bedroom- can watch the waves while cozied up in bed.

Incredible location - wonderful stay!

I have stayed in many properties over the years at Stinson Beach, and the location doesn’t get much better than this one. The view from the main bedroom is literally onto the surf breaking 30 yards away. Great little deck (on the beach). My son surfed right in front of the house and was “buzzed” by dolphins playing alongside him in the waves! Ideal for a family (2 adults, 2 kids), “small” inside but everything you need (including a log fire to snuggle up in front of in the evenings if the fog roles in). But who cares? You “live” on the beach and deck!!! Will definitely come back again!

Beach Front White Water View

Lovely spot to relax in right on the beach, views of varied beach acivies: walking, surfing, kites, jogging — and for surfers, you are right there! Park Side Cafe has really upgraded, superb bakery, excellent chef. Breakers Cafe also very good. Bookstore and library close at hand, and Mt. Tam is just across thge street with world class coastal view trails and redwoods. Stinson Beacch Market is well-stocked — including fresh vegetables — and has friendly staff members.

PERFECT little place! We will be back. The views are amazing, the bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept on away from home, and the location can't be beat. There is a lovely deck, but if you want to sit on the sand, bring your own beach chairs.

Absolute perfection

Our stay at Stinson Beach was incredible. Angela is such a gracious host, even coming out to meet us when we arrived very late the first night. It was wonderful having a dedicated parking spot as space is much in demand and the neighbors are quite protective. The home itself is a dream. The master bedroom, living room, and kitchen look out over the ocean and I felt myself soaking up the peace the entire time we were in the house. It literally could not be more oceanfront- at high tide, the water comes up under the raised deck. The beach is beautiful and very walkable, and our little dog was in heaven running around and chasing the waves with all the other sweet doggies. There is a library, two restaurants, and a small but well-stocked grocery store within walking distance. San Francisco is about 25 minutes away and a Napa Valley about one hour, so very easy to make day trips. The only consideration I’d give is if someone has extreme vertigo/fear of heights or has mobility challenges. The road to the cottage snakes up and down narrow, winding mountain roads and to access the home itself, it’s necessary to walk about 20 feet across the sand and then up two short flights of wooden stairs (~ten steps). I couldn’t imagine a lovelier, more perfectly mismatched, comfortable beach house and I’m a little embarrassed to admit I cried when we had to leave. We very much hope to return, and have two friends who are already planning stays there based on our raving!

Stranded with Zero Communication

Check-in process was a nightmare. First there are contradicting processes. In one place is says check-in is at 3pm, in another place it says 3:30. Whatever, no big deal we played it safe (so we though), arrived at 3:30 and that’s when the problems began. Doors locked, no key given. Reached out to host via chat, no reply. Called host via number provided, no answer, left voicemail, no reply. Called VRBO directly who attempted to also reach out the host. Once again, no answer, no reply. We are now close to 5pm (that’s right, 1.5 hours later) my wife and I said, screw it and decide just to head home. I was actually already walking away from the property when I noticed there was someone in the adjacent unit. Oh look, it is the host just going about her day. I got her attention by yelling out “ARE YOU THE HOST?” at which point she came out of her unit and handed us the keys. No apologies, no offers to make things right, nothing. Just gave us the key and went back in her home. It’s only saving grace is the location. I would have loved to be able to use this place for a future beach trip but I don’t think I want to deal with the uncertainty of actually being able to get into the property. I am not sure if the host just got home around 5pm because I only reason I looked into her unit was because the lights on when there were no lights on earlier. If I didn’t happen to look back at the property as I was walking away we would have had to make the multi-hour drive home.
