About this property

Ocean Front / Beach Front Castle House at Stinson Beach

Enjoy FULL views of the sunrise and sunset from the dining room, living room and large deck. Step down from the deck to the beach for a leisurely walk or build your own sand castle at the foot of the 'Castle House.' Relax or BBQ at the large deck. Walk to the Stinson Village shops and restaurants and never get into your car until it is time to go home!

The Castle House has two bedrooms (with queen-size beds) and two recently remodeled baths. The bedrooms have views of the beach and the ocean and are located at the front and rear of the house. They have wall to wall new carpets. There is a fully equipped and recently remodeled kitchen, a large deck and a large covered porch with outdoor furniture. It is a comfortable, well kept and very nicely furnished home. The living room has a turret (as in a castle!) with a circular sofa and embraces the complete view of the beach and ocean, from the north end of Stinson-Bolinas to the southern tip. There is parking for two cars.
In the Summer time we rent full weeks with shorter stays in between full week rentals. During holidays (including school holidays) we rent 3 to 4 days min, depending on the holiday with shorter stays based on approval and availability.

Beautiful property on the beach with lots of windows. We really enjoyed looking out to the beach and watching the waves during the cold parts of the day and sitting on the steps with toes in the sand during the sunshine. Kids loved playing with the provided sand toys. Really enjoyable experience and very responsive owner.

Great property right on the beach - plenty of people and dog watching during the day, solitude early morning and evening. Lots of fun for the grandparents, parents and toddler. The place is well equipped for a several day stay and quite charming as well. Easy walk to the tiny town for provisions.

Second Stay at the White Castle

We enjoyed our recent stay even more than the last one. Beautiful weather and fewer beach goers. If you love dogs this house is perfectly situated - dogs are allowed off leash, so many different breeds. The house is roomy enough for the four of us plus toddler, it’s very clean and comfortably furnished. We greatly appreciated the call from the homeowner advising us of the tsunami warning. We’ll be back!

Magical !

For years I have seen this amazing property as I walked along Stinson beach - and finally, with my daughter and grandchildren I spent two wonderful wild days there! (Wild refers to the weather- not my family!) the sea was tumultuous and beautiful and but we felt so cosy in the Castle! It is beautifully equipped and Elida our host was perfectly lovely and answered any questions quickly and cheerfully ! It was a wonderful stay!

The Castle House lives up to its promise

The location is ideal, and the quality of the interior lives up to the distinctive exterior, with roomy living space and tasteful furnishings. The only complaint we had is that there is only one openable window, and it is small.
