Lovely vacation home in Stinson Beach

This sweet house was a perfect home base for 4 hikers — a few blocks away from the Matt Davis/Dipsea trailhead, and easy access to Pt. Reyes National Seashore. Shell Cottage is very welcoming, comfortable, and dog friendly. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a lovely mother/daughter trip with friends, and found this cottage to meet our needs well. A quick walk to town & the beach is a bonus!
