We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. Although it is cozy, the living area is very comfortable. We appreciated the gas stove which put out a lot of heat. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and dinnerware you need. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The entire house was clean, for that matter. Karen was very communicative. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!

the house was fine for a couple of nights. the beds are very comfy, living room cozy, great big TV, and the hot tub was a plus, the kitchen has everything you need but items are not modern and pots/pans are not clean. there was an issue getting the heating going, the front yard was a mess, alarm for the septic tank went off in the middle of the night (every night!) and the street had some house bldg construction, noise that did not allow us to sit outside, the beach was great, just down the street, 10-15min walk to restaurants on the beach. the owner was attentive. I would not stay here again.

The beach cottage was perfect for our family of five adults and our dog. We all enjoyed games at the large dining room table and our multiple daily walks on the beach, which is just steps from the house. Karen was a joy to work with throughout the entire process.

Perfect Stay in Stinson

This property was great for myself and 3 friends during our long weekend stay while running a trail race in Stinson Beach. The location was amazing and the property had everything we needed and more. The host is top notch (A+!) with communication, providing us with a list of restaurants and local hikes. Thank you so much, we'd definitely stay here again!

Another great stay

We try to get a beach stay in at Stinson at least once a year. We love being able to bring our dog to enjoy the beach, weather, hikes and patio dining. We also need a place that allows us easy access to the beach and town and chill time in the yard. This house delivers on all accounts.And, the king size bed is so comfortable.Karen is great to work with-responsive and accommodating.
