About this property

Stunning Sea Views Steps to Stinson Beach + Town

Be taken back in time with the redwood paneled interior walls of the main living room. Sit in front of the spectacular fireplace and bask in the amazing ocean views from the redwood wrap around deck while sipping on your morning coffee or gaze at the stars while keeping toasty in front of either of the two gas fire pits on the deck or the front patio.
With a hot tub to de stress in and a wild garden for the kids and adults to explore there's lots to do without even leaving the property. The kids play structure hidden at the bottom of the garden is big enough to keep the little people and not too little people entertained (my 9yr old is partial to hanging out down there) The house comes with four boogie boards and a few skim boards to make beach time more fun. We have a ring camera you’ll see it at the front door. It faces the exterior stairs which are at the entrance to the patio. This is the only security camera/device on the property and we wanted to let folks know it’s there.

Great central location with ocean views

We had a wonderful time staying in Stinson Beach. The property was perfect for our family and parents with plenty of sleeping room. They had beach chairs, toys, boogie boards and wetsuits for the kids which luckily fit them well enough not to need to rent anything. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful in the mornings and evenings and the deck was great for lounging and enjoying the views with a coffee or cocktail. The house is just up the hill from the main beach access and is centrally located for all Stinson beach has to offer.

Sweet home in Stinson

Our family had a wonderful time, really loved how close home was to town and beach and Joanne was so warm and welcoming. Home has everything you need for family time at beach. Kitchen was so well stocked with cooking supplies and organic cooking oils we loved cooking all our meals. My boys loved the piano, endless legos, and bin of beach toys and activities.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids ( ages 3 & 5). Plenty of space for everyone, multiple lovely outdoor gathering areas, cupboards of games and legos and a hot tub I could barely get my kids out of. It’s an easy walk to the store, restaurant and beach- especially with the wagon and sand toys provided! We loved our stay here and would definitely come back.

Definitely rundown and in need of some TLC: Sofa cushions exposed to sun completely bleached out. Upper deck nice but lower floor patio with hot tub needs deep cleaning. Path down to play structure has areas of disrepair-play area itself needs pruning and sprucing up. Dead plants in front area window boxes not a good first impression.

Adorable beach house in Stinson

Joanne’s beach home is clean, well cared for, and the perfect set up for a family gathering. The neighbors are friendly and the location convenient for beach time, hiking, and shopping. We loved sitting in the sun with the doors to the deck open to the sounds and smells of the ocean. Everything about the home and our stay in Stinson exceeded expectations!

Great location and view

We really enjoyed the location. Very short walk to the beach, little market and Parkside Cafe. We never used a car. The house has an amazing deck with ocean views. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked, including with toddler friendly dishes. House also came with toys and a wagon to take to the beach.

Thanksgiving retreat

We had a fantastic time over Thanksgiving break. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and living room was so cozy with the wood burning fireplace at night. The house is only a short walk to the beach and all the amenities Stinson Beach has to offer. Plus the sunset views are amazing! We would definitely come back.

Wonderful Experience, Perfect Location, so Cozy

Could not have had a better experience in Stinson Beach. We explored the amazing local trails, spent time at the beach, and walking around the town. Even our time just sitting at the house doing puzzles, listening to music, and relaxing was so enjoyable with the amazing ocean views and comfortable coziness of the home. We hope to return again!

Lovely getaway

We had a wonderful week in Stinson beach! The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Plenty of towels for the beach and great hot tub for after surfing in the cold waves! Town is right down the hill making it easy to pop out for a bite or a walk. And the views from the house are gorgeous. Joanne was super responsive and accommodating.

Family-friendly home right near the beach

We really loved our stay and would like to come back soon! Our group included five adults and three kids (two babies and one 2-year-old). The house had plenty of space for everyone. This is the best-stocked kitchen I've ever encountered in a rental home. We also loved the backyard with a swing set and hot tub. The house is a 5 minute walk from Parkside cafe, and a 10 minute walk from the beach. The views from the kitchen and living room are beautiful. We spent 3 happy days in this home and would highly recommend it!

Perfect beach house

Our family with two kids (ages 6 and 7) loved this house. So comfortable and beautiful design touches. Easy to walk everywhere in town and to the beach. The kids wanted to see redwoods and Muir Woods was an easy drive. Phenomenal hiking trails start just a block from the house. Be sure you have directions loaded before you leave SF because cell service is spotty to nonexistent close to town.

Hi there my name is Joanne and I'm excited to share my beach house with you all. I've called the Bay Area home for more than 20 yrs and Stinson is a really special place that my daughters and I have fallen in love with and we'd love to share it with you all.
Welcome!

Why they chose this property

Because it's a little slice of paradise. The overgrown garden is home to so many butterflies, hummingbirds and bees, it's magical. There's a swing set and playhouse for the younger family members hidden under the Holly Tree. The house has ocean views from almost every room, it's amazing to be able to check out the waves from the comfort of the living room couch and kitchen table. The hot tub is a perfect place to relax after a day spent in the refreshing sea waters and the outdoor couch is ideally located for optimal sun exposure, sheltered from the seas breezes.
Relax, read a book, cook on the BBQ enjoy beach time with family and friends. Roast some s'mores over the fire pit and make yourself at home.
