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.

Wonderful stay!

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.

Good News & Bad News

First the good news: It is beach-front, with a million-dollar view from the eating table and the large deck overlooking the surf and private beach. The bad news: you have to walk across that private beach to get to the place, and you have to park the car about half a block away. It is small, with a tiny bathroom accessible only by entering the second bedroom. There is no washer or dryer -- you have to go to the laundromat in Bolinas.

Stinson beach vacation

Cozy beach cottage with 5 star views and one star amenities - no hand soap, dish soap, dishcloths, washcloths, beach towels, etc. I had to request toilet paper and soap from the property owner. Basically BYO everything if you plan to stay here as supplies in town are extremely expensive

Beach Front Charmer

This delightful oceanfront cottage is all you need for a tranquil and rejuvenating vacation. You wake and sleep with the sound of the waves from the bedroom nook (comfy double bed). A high table by the window is where you eat your meals or read a book if you don’t dine on the ample deck. The view from all these places is mesmerizing. There is a large sofa and chair in the main room for reading or watching TV. The house is on stilts in the sand and is just steps to the sea. There is a charming second room with two single beds. We stayed here during a windy few days and the location of this cottage was a life saver - it’s protected from the wind and has a private area of sand in the front where you can lie out or play beach games far from anyone else. It is a truly magical place and we have already booked our next stay. Thank you, Angela!

Winter on the beach

Property is right on the beach with 2 big windows facing the ocean. Stunning views. The unit is attached to owner's home but she was very quiet and helpful when necessary. The unit is quite old and worn but very clean. It's cold at night but the wood fireplace warms everything quite nicely and there are 2 electric heaters. You need your own wood. Ants invade if there is any food out so everything has to be in the fridge. The owner was very gracious and I enjoyed meeting her.
