Wonderful property designed to a high beach aesthetic. Great updated bathrooms and a perfect hottub with outdoor shower. Walk out the gate and your a two second walk from the Parkside, a favorite Stinson Beach restaurant and market.

We rented the cottages over the July 4th holiday! We are frequent Stinson Beach vacationers. The cottages are adorable. Perfect set up for our family of parents and two adult children with partners. We used one side as the main dining, gathering, games and watching soccer! The outdoor shower and hot tub were wonderful. It was perfect to be close to the beach and our favorite Parkside, the “go to” for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Citchen Capers

We rented both units and had a joyous time. In the process of 'living' and enjoying both units I believe that we moved almost everything from one kitchen to the other. We had a passing thought of trying to put each back to where it belonged, but decided that the ladies who cleaned after us would actually have a better idea where and how many of everything each kitchen needed. We shall return if allowed...Cece

An amazing break for a week

It looked great from the listing, and it really delivered! The kitchens are beautiful, and something you can't tell, is how well appointed they are. Not just the appliances, but everything you need from cookware, to knives, to crockery; it's all there. I've never seen a rental with a Le Creuset in it before! The overall cleanliness was spot on, with everything you could need (beach towels, cleaning supplies, extra gas canisters, you name it) all there. I had a question about the firepits and the owner was instantly responsive - within fifteen minutes. Then there's the location. If you've not been to Stinson, there is one area where you can get groceries, a restaurant, etc. This place is walkable to everything. And by walkable I mean "within three minutes" walkable. Then the beach is within five at most. And you can see the ocean from the deck in 4. Downsides include: not being able to stay longer and, uh, well, that's about it. Could get a little cold in 2 overnight because that one doesn't have central, but boo hoo, the heaters work really well.

The BEST of Stinson Beach

This property is AMAZING! looks just like the photos, stylish and comfortable. They have everything you need for an incredible retreat. The beds were heaven. Everywhere you looked there was a cozy place to sit or swing and take in the ocean breeze. We went with friends both families have 2 kids. Everyone was satisfied!! And literally steps away from yummy food, hot coffee, beach, playground, yet it's very PRIVATE! Drove in and did not get back in the car for 5 days. Can not wait to go again. Truly a special place.

Great 70th birthday family celebration

Accommodated our three generation family perfectly. Four couples. Four children (5 months to 18 years). We rented both units. Taken together, the units are well furnished, tho some items are in small supply in one unit but ample in another. Location is terrific-five minute walk to the beach, restaurants, book store, bike store and grocery store. Combined back yard (surrounded by a high fence) is superb-large outdoor dining table in one unit, hot tub in the other-when you rent both units, you have access to the entire back yard. Ample living rooms. Bedrooms vary in size as do bathrooms but they all work well. These are beach cottages (complete with the occasional mouse sighting, ant enduring and biting insects) but, unless you are expecting high luxury, these units make for an excellent and comfortable beach week vacation. And Wendy is a very responsive owner.
