Our family was lucky enough to enjoy a week at this very special spot over the holidays. We loved this property and hope to return sometime soon. Correspondence prior to our arrival with Yarrow was easy--he was very responsive and helpful. We received excellent instructions on arriving and accessing the property, and despite arriving in a rainstorm, we felt like we had arrived in a haven. The house was extremely clean and spacious. With bedrooms and baths for our whole group, everyone felt immediately relaxed. The beds were so comfortable with lovely linens, all in soothing colors. Though close to the Panoramic Highway, you felt worlds away, as you are surrounded by beautiful garden area and look out on the ocean horizon views. We even saw dolphins in the distance. The house is very spacious, with many areas for sitting and reading, or just hanging out. Great fully stocked kitchen for making family meals, which was especially nice as we cooked the majority of our meals. There is a hot tub overlooking the ocean, as well as sauna in the garden, perfect for relaxation. There is a lovely trail close by that takes you into Stinson Beach, a charming spot, with an incredible beach for walks or just enjoying the sights and sounds of the surf, as well as some cute restaurants and a small market for necessities. In addition, there are so many other trails near by, including the Dipsea trail, a great trail through the woods all the way to Mill Valley. Yarrow was always available for questions or advice. We couldn't imagine a better place to start off the New year than this very special retreat, and hope to be able to return!

We loved this home. I don't even know where to begin. It was absolutely perfect for our group of 7 women. There are 6 bedrooms and 8 or 9 beds that are some of the most comfortable I've slept on outside of my own at home. Every bedroom has a view of the ocean. The bedroom linens and decor were lovely and beautiful, as was the whole home. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views to the ocean and horizon were beautiful. One of my favorite parts of the stay was how clearly we could hear the ocean, day and night. Very soothing. We also enjoyed the hot tub every day. The views of the mountains and coast line from the hot tub, as well as the garden setting, were fabulous. There was also ample room inside the home for hanging out. There is an outdoor dining table and sitting area as well, which we didn't use because it rained during our stay and the outdoor furniture was often damp. Even though this home is not far from Panoramic Highway, it feels worlds away. In fact, our first morning a bobcat wandered into the front yard and stayed for half an hour. There are many top notch hiking trails that can be accessed yards from the home and the beach is a short walk away. The managers are kind and easy to work with. I was glad to know we could contact them directly if we had questions or problems during our stay (which we did not), which has not always been the case with VRBO homes. The only very minor "cons" to be aware of: quiet after 8pm is expected. In our case, we just stayed inside and kept the background music low after 8, and I don't think we bothered anyone. Some in my group complained about the Wifi, but I personally don't think Wifi access on vacation is a problem. Some of the glasses need to be hand washed. One of our group likes to do dishes (not me!) so she washed all of our wine glasses, but if this would put a damper on your vacation, bring your own wine glasses. Again, these are very minor cons! I would return again in a heart beat and hopefully will with this same or another group of friends.
