Joe's Studio on Tomales Bay, Bleu Bay Cove, Marshall, Pt Reyes National Park
SANITIZED FOR YOUR PROTECTION. Our professional cleaners are well practiced in sanitizing vacation rentals.
AT A GLANCE
The Studio:
Beautiful view of Tomales Bay from a beachfront property that is the original site of the historic Bleu Baie Tavern and nestled over the water with a large deck overlooking the bay and the Point Reyes Peninsula.
Joe’s Studio has a very comfortable full-size bed and sleeps up to 4 people with a full-size leather sleeper couch.
Well-equipped, recently remodeled kitchen with portable induction cooktop, microwave, blender, coffeemaker, cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes and silverware.
Gas fireplace.

High Speed Wireless Internet and landline phone

The Decks:

Gas BBQ grill, grilling tools, & outdoor dining area.
The Beach:
Secluded white sand beach completely accessible at low tide.
DESCRIPTION
Located on the shore of pristine Tomales Bay, Joe’s Studio is the perfect economy getaway from the complexities of everyday life. Whether you want to cozy up indoors or stroll along the beach while keeping an eye out for seals and otters, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable escape.
From the deck, lounge in the sun, or grill up some oysters for dinner. Curl up with a book in one of our lounge chairs and enjoy the ebb and flow of the tides on Tomales Bay. Ready for an adventure? Rent a kayak nearby and venture along the bay. Settle in and let the wildlife and changing light on the water entertain you.
The studio is a cozy retreat - all on a quiet, historic private lane at the waterfront. Wake up to the gentle sound of water lapping the shore. Brew a cup in your well-equipped kitchen. The newly remodeled bathroom has a contemporary shower. There is a completely remodeled kitchen and full bathroom-see photos.
Watch the natural inhabitants of the cove: snowy white egrets, great blue herons, countless flocks of shorebirds, seals, otters, sea lions, fish, bat rays and more. Want a memorable evening? Watch the fog roll in and out while sipping a glass of wine with the sun setting over the Point Reyes Peninsula.
Want to explore? Hop in the car and take a 4-minute drive to Hog Island Oyster Company for a farm tour and lessons in oyster shucking! Drive a little further and explore Point Reyes Station & dozens of hiking trails, beaches, and more within the National Seashore.
Return to your own private retreat to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. If you love to cook, the studio has a fully equipped rustic kitchen. Or, enjoy a lovely evening out at one of the many acclaimed restaurants in the area.
In & Around Marshall, CA:
Only a little over a one hour drive from the Golden Gate Bridge, the town of Marshall is located in West Marin, 20 minutes from Point Reyes Station and close to Bolinas, Stinson Beach, Dillon Beach and Bodega Bay.
Joe’s Studio is near Point Reyes National Seashore, surrounded by Golden Gate National Recreation Area, State and County parklands and just 20 minutes to the town of Point Reyes Station and your gateway to the lighthouse and the extraordinary beaches of Western Tomales Bay. The nearby towns of Inverness, Point Reyes Station, Dillon Beach, Bodega Bay and Olema offer gourmet restaurants and markets with local organic produce, artisanal food, oysters and wine.
Conveniently located on the Eastern shoreline of Tomales Bay one mile south of Nick’s Cove Restaurant & Bar
2 miles north of famous Hog Island Oyster Company.
Minutes away from The Marshall Store & Deli
A short distance further south is Tony’s Seafood Restaurant.
Stop at a winery or two as you head south 10 miles from Tony’s on your way to the historic town of Point Reyes Station with restaurants, bars, grocery store, shops, bakery, galleries and more. Point Reyes National Seashore is ten minutes south of town.
Point Reyes Station has artisanal entities such as a cheese maker, the Brick- Maiden Bakery, several restaurants and much more.
Rent a canoe or kayak and paddle across the bay to a deserted white-sand beach for a private afternoon, or, eat lunch trailside as you hike through Point Reyes National Seashore.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This property has been handed down within the same family for quite some time. It is the original site of the historic Bleu Baie Tavern. Bleu Baie Lane was originally the narrow gauge railroad bed that transported dairy products and logged trees to SFBay and then to San Francisco.
Prior to the need to build San Francisco this area was home to the Coastal Miwoks for thousands of years.
Bleu Bay Cove is the permanent home to Great Blue Herons, Snowy White Egrets and numerous other types of shorebirds and waterfowl.
