About this property

IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICE:
Marin county is not allowing short-term rentals at this time. Only rentals of 31 days or more are allowed. Our rates and calendar settings have been updated accordingly. We will update as conditions change.
========================================================

Our magical Stinson Beach house is a peaceful retreat from work and the city, but in perfect reach of San Francisco. Four bedrooms and three baths including one kids room is the perfect place to relax, recharge by yourself or with the family.

Our house is completely renovated on a quiet beach side patio. We are one row of houses back from the beach, so you can hear the waves crash on the beach and it will take you just 1 minute to walk onto the beach from the house.

Inside, you'll find all the comforts of home, including the fastest internet access we could get in Stinson Beach (sorry, it's not that fast, about 6mb, but just enough for streaming HD). The kitchen was equipped by a Cordon-Bleu trained chef and all the furnishing are up to date.

We're committed to keeping our carbon footprint small. Every bulb in the house is either CFL or LED. Power is primarily provided by solar panels on the roof.

Amazing Stay

This home was very accommodating. We felt very looked after from the hospitality box, well-stocked kitchen, towels, toiletries, beach toys, high chair and gate for the stairs. Even a baby bath for the tiny one. Each room is thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. For your stay I would recommend bringing your own tissues, environmental laundry soap, dishwashing cloth and scrubber. You need an iPhone (or your own streaming device) to connect with the TV. Otherwise, feel very well looked after.

Pleasant Trip

This is a collective response from members of our stay: Five stars for the incredible landscaping as well as the very well-stocked kitchen! The house and yard were very spacious too. The proximity to the beach was exactly what we were looking for. A convenient outdoor shower was very handy to help keep things clean and sand-free. We enjoyed the hot tub too! The other reviews touch on some similar sentiments - the home could use more hand towels and the firepit was a bit puzzling to work. There is also room for improvement on communication because we were not sure how to leave the home (i.e. strip the beds or leave towels, etc.) and emails came back slow. Overall, the home and location were a great place and this trip was made very enjoyable by our stay in Paul's beautiful home.
