Beach Vibes

This was our second time staying at this sweet gem. It’s a lovely cottage just steps from the beach. It’s clean, cozy, and perfect for a couple or family with small kids. We’ll definitely stay again when it’s available.

The Casita Azul was lovely and exactly as shown in the photos. Proximity to town and the beach could not have been better. My only complaint (as I told the host)-most of the windows were janky and would not stay open unless I propped something like a fan or a book under them. Bedroom crank window opened fine but would not fully close and lock. Shades were also very hard to operate also, some worked, others didn't, one had cord jammed in the window sill and I couldn't operate it at all...

Beautiful week at the beach

The weather was perfect. Lots of walks to the beach. The best is that we could be there with our dog. Third year staying on this property. I am already planning our stay next year!

Lovely stay at Stinson Beach

Cute and just the right size for a get away to the beach. The gated garden area was enjoyed by our dogs. The beach is just a short walk through a nice trail. The weather was perfect and the sound of waves, sea birds along with long walks on the beach made our trip special and memorable.

Charming Beach Cottage

We loved our stay in this sweet beach cottage. Very close to the beach and easy walk into town. The cottage is fully stocked and comfortable. Dogs loved sniffing in the yard or snoozing on the deck surrounded by a lovely beach garden. Already missing it - will definitely come again!

Wonderful Getaway

What a wonderful getaway! House was exactly as described: clean, functional, and literally steps to the beach. Communication with owner/property manager was easy and they were extremely respond and accommodating. My daughter wants to make this our new Thanksgiving tradition. Truly a well needed mini-vacation!

Seaside Respite

A perfectly-sized little cottage for two plus a dog. Dog-friendly beach just a few steps away at end of street. Everything we needed including an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. On a quiet street, but be advised that Wednesday is trash day and there will be trucks traffic that morning.

Access to the beach, hiking, good vibes

Cozy one bedroom, short walk to the beach, access to the best hiking. Cable tv and Roku were east yo use and great when we wanted to catch the playoff games. We stayed three nights. Hiked two out of three days. No oven to cook in but had stove, pots and pans, plates, bowls, silverware, good sized fridge, toaster. We bought food at the local grocer or take out. The town shuts down early so planning is key. Owner was accessible and easy to communicate with. Unit is a bit worn- could use a new couch and bar stools. Reading the other reviews was helpful and spot on. We don’t have pets but I would not have known that other renters brought theirs. Overall, it was a clean comfortable place to stay.

I loved this little rental! It was perfectly located- just steps to an amazing beach, half mile walk along the road or beach to the cute little town, with an excellent restaurant for meals and coffee and pastries. The unit was very clean and comfortable inside and out, it had everything I needed in the kitchen, the bed was comfy and a nice outdoor space to sit. The property is in a great location for exploring the area. I will be back for sure!

Beautiful location

This is a very cute , clean space a few steps from a gorgeous beach. Communication was fantastic and the outdoor gardens and place are beautiful. We just had a hard time with the comfort of the bed which may be just personal preference but it may be time to upgrade to a new supportive mattress. Otherwise a great spot!

Cozy cottage

This was a small, cozy cottage with a lovely garden area. It was a short walk to the beach. It was lovely and adequately supplied. The warm floor heat worked well. The door lock was a little loose and there were some windows that didn’t work well. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy beach bungalow

Great location! We were surprised there wasn’t an oven. Since we had our dog we planned on eating in. A couple of cheap wine glasses would be nice. Other than that everything was great, quite and comfortable

Great place and location

My wife and I spent a long weekend at the cottage. It was more than expected and very pleased with our stay. Beach access down the end of street and cafes within walking distance. Next time we will make sure to pack a few groceries and use kitchen space and BBQ more. We are already wanting to go back for a longer stay.

Perfect Beach Cottage with a Fenced Yard

My husband and I were just here with our 2 toy poodles for 3 nights, and it's such a nice and restful place to stay at Stinson Beach and the fenced yard was a huge bonus for us. We took lots of walks with our dogs since this cottage is located on the dog friendly part of the beach, which is only a quick few minutes' walk away. We highly recommend the Parkside Snack Bar for sandwiches and the Parkside bakery for delicious baked goods to bring back and enjoy, either inside or outside on the deck. We would definitely stay here again, and Colby, the property's manager, is very easy going and pleasant to communicate with.

Definition of Cozy

We were allowed to bring our rabbits and our cats to stay with us (rabbits in an x-pen)-- very rare for a vrbo to allow this so we really did appreciate the trust. Next time we are in the area we hope to stay here again! Such a comfortable little place. <3

The community is surrounded by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and State parklands. Pristine land varies from mountainous to beach to wetlands to valleys. For the outdoor enthusiast this is a dream. This area is truly one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest.
