We were two families, including a teen and two kids under 7. The house was well kept and clean, modern updates. It was cozy for all 7 of us, but the beach was steps away and the front porch is large with couches and chairs to lounger.
There is a back patio as well, but it could use a little landscaping / clean up. We would stay here again.

Our family stayed at this great cottage for two nights with another family. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax. We were steps from the beach which as the most exciting part and reason why we chose the house. While the weather wasn't warm or sunny, the kids still really enjoyed playing in the sand and water. The house also had a grill and fire pit which we did not use because of the rainy weather. Be aware that there are limited dining options and limited dining options in Stinson Beach, so possibly do your shopping before you arrive. We cooked dinner one night and had a wonderful dinner the other night at Parkside Cafe.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage, which comfortably held 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Fantastic location for walks on the beach, quick access to cafes and the local market, and trailheads for hiking Mt. Tam/Muir Woods. Just what we needed to kick off the new year!

We loved our time in Stinson Beach and can’t wait to return. The house is cozy and clean and has everything we needed for a wonderful time. The decks are both wonderful for outdoor meals or relaxing. But the best part of course is being steps away from the beautiful sandy beach! Sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking. We will be back!

My family of 4 stayed here for a few days before Thanksgiving. The property manager was nice enough to let us check in early on the day of our arrival. Within a few hours, we discovered that the hot water was broken. By this time it was evening and the property manager said she couldn't have anyone come out to fix it until the next day. She gave us instructions to try and fix it, which involved squeezing between the deck and fence (maybe 1.5 ft wide space) and finding a switch under the house. We didn't want to deal with the dark and rainy night in an unfamiliar setting so we went our first night without hot water. We managed to fix the switch on our own the next morning.
That night we also discovered that the over knob was broken so we unknowingly broiled (and ruined) our dinner. We contacted the property manager about that as well and she said apparently it happens very often -- so often in fact that they have a box of spare knobs. It was obvious to me that the oven needed professional repair given the chronic breakage. The refrigerator also needs some maintenance. The temperature reading on the outside screen said it was 37 degrees, but any food we took out was barely cold.
There's a rung missing from the ladder on the bunk bed and the beds and furniture are all showing their wear.
It's obvious this is a popular rental, but it's looking pretty worn down given the traffic. I gave the property 3 stars because the location is great and the property manager was helpful.

Clean, easy check in/check out, generous hosts and located literally steps to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer (only 2 nights).

We love this cute little beach house. Our family has stayed here several tunes and it’s always our first choice when coming to Stinson. It’s steps to the beach and there is plenty of room for our family to relax. It’s a cute and modern with a great kitchen and a nice living space. It’s an easy walk into town for coffee in the morning or an ice cream cone etc. We look forward to our next visit.

We had a terrific stay at Adelle's cottage. What a gem, great location and well appointed. Had everything you could want or need for a beach get away. The updated kitchen was a huge plus and the backyard was a perfect spot for when the wind picked up. Communication was easy and we so appreciated the early check in. Thanks again Adelle!

We loved our stay in Stinson. The house has a gorgeous and modern kitchen which was very convenient given we cooked most of our meals at home. It's 2 houses from the beach, a 10 minute walk to the bakery/park and had everything we needed. I'd definitely stay again!

Well located and equipped property that worked for us as a great base to explore the beach area and Muir Woods/Mount Tamalpais in addition to being a short drive to San Francisco.

Amazing location, great amenities
Property was almost perfect. Unfortunately there was a ton of sand all over the floors which we had to sweep up in order to feel comfortable walking around, otherwise it was a fantastic location, and all of the provided extras really made it worth our stay. We will be coming back!

This place was absolutely perfect. There was a minor hiccup when I arrived, but the owner remedied it quickly! She was very kind and responsive! Town was steps away. It was a treat to fall and sleep and wake up to the ocean waves crashing! I can’t wait to return!

Our stay was lovely. The cottage is beautifully updated, spotless, comfortable and effortless. We had everything we could need for a great day at the beach and as well as a fun family night in.

Very close to beach, you can see the ocean and surf from the one end of the front porch. House is clean with a well equipped kitchen. There are a few quirks to things like the oven. It would be good for the owner to update some of the information with details so that those unfamiliar with them can more easily use them. There is also a septic system so probably not great for folks with toddlers or those who can not adjust to no toilet paper going in the toilet.
Overall a great house and the owner was readily available by phone for my question on the TV (we did not resolve but she tried very hard).
I would 100% return to this property

We love Stinson Beach and have stayed at many places nearby through the years. This house had several issues. Sheets were stained (all 5 beds) and there was no hot water in kitchen or bathroom sinks, only in shower. The back door lock was broken so the door could not be locked. (Owner said this was user error but it was not since we have the same door at home.) It was unlocked when we arrived. High-contact spots like light switches and around door handles need a better cleaning. Most disturbing was on our 2nd night, we discovered when going to bed, one bed had been moved away from wall and a window opened from the outside, as if someone tried to break in. At that point, we departed early, after only 2 nights instead of 4. It was an unrelaxing stay for a lot of money due to beach location. When I spoke on the phone with the owner, as well as by text, she was very unconcerned about any of this. I would not stay here again due to safety concerns. I have never left a negative review on VRBO but this was not an enjoyable stay.

Great location for a family vacation. Well stocked kitchen and sheets. Fantastic enclosed backyard area and front porch area.

Small and quaint. The best part is that it is right near the beach… easy access to the town for meals but just far enough the crowds were a little smaller than near the park.
We stay at SB every year and this is our first time splurging on a renovated cottage. It was nice but not anything that made it worth it.
The knives need sharpening, FYI. It was an ongoing joke all week “Can you pass me a knife? I would like to smash some tomatoes.” Also, don’t forget to put the cones out or your parking will be gone immediately.

What a wonderful, charming home with everything you need for a family gathering at Stinson Beach. The front porch and back deck are perfect.... lots of sun in the morning and afternoon. The beds and bedding are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is updated and large enough for everyone to gather. The location is a dream, close enough to town for a quick walk to the market or to one of the lovely cafes and steps to the beach for long, long walks..We enjoyed every moment!!!

Beautifully restored cottage
This is a unique spot for Stinson. Not an aged bungalow, not an over the top home for a large group. A perfectly modern appointed 3 bedroom cottage, clean, stylish, with all the amenities - stocked kitchen , Mexican blankets, and that back deck was a bonus! Loved every minute of it and Adelle was so accommodating. Will stay again!
