Super cute and cozy stay right by the beach and trails. We had a great trip. Initial booking was easy but when I tried to extent my trip by two days and saw the cabin was available online, I tried to contact the host 3 times. When they got back to my 4 days later the cabin had been booked. This was a little frustrating. Also the mattress was older with a foam topper which was not great for my back.

This our second time staying at Casita Azul. It's just the right size for the two of us and our toy poodle. We love that it has a good sized, private, fenced yard with outdoor seating, and a charcoal grill and fire pit if you choose to use them.The kitchen is equipped with a microwave and cook-top (no oven) which worked out fine for us for cooking with the food we brought with us. The bed was very comfortable with nice pillows. And the television was set up with a lot access to complementary streaming options to select from.The dog friendly part of Stinson Beach is walking distance, about 2 minutes away. At this time of the year, we had the beach practically to ourselves. And our car remained parked the entire time we were here.Colby, the property manager, has excellent instructions regarding the property and is easy to communicate with. We will definitely be returning!

The property was clean and well put together. There were dishes for our use, coffee, filtered water ready to drink, bathroom supplies and extra blankets for guests to enjoy. There was one hiccup with our stay and the host was right on it and resolved the issue as quickly as possible. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

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!

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback and positive review. It is a pretty great location to the beach and away from wind. I agree beds are personal preference and I also prefer a firm bed. We just replaced some of our bedding and pillows and based upon your feedback we will be look into updating the mattress as well. It is a queen bed, which for some may seem small. Your feedback is valued and we ver much aspire positive ratings and good visitor feedback.

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.
