About this house rental
Clean, cozy house with gorgeous natural light in the gated Seadrift community. Manmade lagoon for swimming and boating on one side, Bolinas estuary filled with ongoing parade of egrets, pelicans and herons on the other. Easy walk to the beach and tennis courts. A perfect area for kids to run, bike or skate freely.
Cable TV, ROKU, and a DVD player and, better yet, lots of books and games, a Bose CD player with iPod capability, an eclectic assortment of CDs, and many comfy chairs for reading and dozing. Electric keyboard for respectful use.
Sunny, warm deck with huge hot tub and view of Marin hills, well protected from wind and fog. Several canoes. SUPS and kayaks get you on the water. Wireless internet access for those who can't leave work behind. Bikes available for use, as well as sand toys and life preservers.
Two rooms with Queen beds and a newly renovated third room with full sized bed, tv and window seat, toilet and sink - a perfect place for some to hang out watching a movie or sports while others relax in the living room by the fire.
Spectacular hiking and bird-watching are nearby, and the gentle waves at north end of the beach offer one of the best beginning surfing spots in California.
Please try to limit yourself to two cars only. THERE IS NO OVERNIGHT PARKING across the street on the open space. It is monitored by the Marin County Open Space district and they frequently come at night and ticket people. Please limit your guests, have them carpool, or park outside the gate if there is no room in the driveway.

Amazing is the first word that comes to mind! Stinson Beach was an easy 2 hour drive from our home so less time actually traveling in the car and more time at this beautiful home creating memories. The home is on a beautiful lagoon and has canoes, kayaks and paddle boards for the renters to use and enjoy. The fire pit is perfect for after dinner s'mores and the hot tub is great for any time of day! Our adult son and his girlfriend and two pups joined us, and we all had plenty of space. You can hear the waves of the ocean when you are on the deck or in the master bedroom if the door is open. You can walk with your family and doggies to the actual beach just one street over and at the end of the complex. The beach there is basically private so there is not too many people and we had a blast watching our dogs playing in the waves. Megan was always quick to respond and very nice. Read your paperwork before you leave your house and it's easy to check in. Don't do what I did. In my busy daily life, I thought I could wing it and neglected to read the check in instructions, which caused a couple of snags that I take full responsibility for!! But Megan quickly responded and then everything was fine! The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. We hope to be back to Megan's place in the future.

The house had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked, lots of puzzles and games for our one rainy day, and paddle boards, canoes and kayaks for the water. Communication with the owner was top notch. I have already recommended to house to family and friends - it’s a perfect location to explore the Bay Area while also enjoying the beauty of the beach.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at this property. Waterfront with views of wetlands, birds, seals on the estuary side, and an amazing lagoon for canoeing, paddle boarding, and swimming on the other side. Private beach within walking distance. So peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make wonderful meals. So many seating areas for every time of day. Dog friendly! Comfortable beds! It was almost impossible to leave and we will be back many times in the future!

Our group of friends was looking for a cozy weekend house to relax and found exactly what we needed with this lovely home. Sunny, open with a well appointed kitchen and deck, we cooked, enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks and canoes on the lagoon as well as the hot tub and fire pit.

We absolutely loved our stay at Megan’s place! The home was clearly a family treasure. It was well represented in the pictures on the listing. The rooms were all well appointed and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the hot tub multiple times a day. The kayaks and canoe were so special to float on the peaceful lagoon.
Megan was responsive and helpful. We can’t wait to come again!

We loved this comfortable house on the lagoon with wonderful views in both directions. Even though it was rainy the first day we were able to enjoy the hot tub and a sunset canoe and paddle board when the sky cleared. The house is cozy and comfortable with a great open floor plan and a well-stocked kitchen. Exactly as described.

Property was perfect for our birthday celebration weekend. Peaceful (lagoon and beach), great layout (for a group and spaces/books for reading), awesome location (on the lagoon and walk to beach), fun (hot tub, canoe, paddle boards, fire pit). Great getaway!

My daughter and her bff and I shared a magical few days on the lagoon here. Great surf spot accessed via private beach, incredible wildlife in Bolinas Bay, fun paddle boarding and kayaking. The fire pit was great for s'mores. Beds comfy.

This is the second time my family has stayed at this house in Sea Drift and it is the best! Megan is responsive and helpful and the house is cozy and comfortable. The views from both sides of the house are amazing. We love using the canoes the paddle the lagoon and explore. Can't wait for next year!

Loved the many cushioned outdoor seating areas, hot tub, outdoor gas firepit, indoor fireplace with tons of firewood, tons of beach towels, and especially the marshmallows in a fun glass jar to roast and make s-mores with! Our mini schnauzer might have slipped through the right outdoor gate that doesn't go to the ground, so we blocked it with wood planks. It was colder in the room with full bed, and we found a heater in the closet that helped. For those without pets, you may not want to brush off the dog hair from the chairs opposite the kitchen...we had dogs so didn't mind much. Wanted to stay longer to enjoy the game table and all the water toys!! Well-equipped kitchen was homey and user-friendly. Thanks Megan for a terrific time!

Megan's gem was amazing. We had such a good time. There is a TON of natural light and in such a cute area. We loved the views from both sides of the house. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor deck and lounging in the sun. One of our other favorite things was the proximity to a fairly private beach and the beautiful walk to it. Megan was super communicative and very sweet. We feel lucky to have stayed at such an awesome VRBO!

We had a lovely time, and would like to return. The house is situated in a perfect spot with views onto both lagoons. We’ve stayed at many houses in Stinson over the years, and this was one of the best, most comfortable of all.

This house is beautiful inside and out- we stayed with another family and loved the living spaces, the decks with stunning views, and the privacy of the spaced-out bedrooms. The house sits on wide loop of lagoons ending in a beach. Our youngest learned to ride her bike on the long flat road, so we all rented beach cruisers to join her on rides back and forth to the beach, and out to observe harbor seals. We would definitely return to this beautiful location!

Perfect Seadrift Home
We've stayed at several properties in Seadrift and this one of our favorites. The location is terrific - we love the eastern side of the lagoon because you get the dramatic views of the Bolinas lagoon which is filled with birds. It's also very walkable to the beach and tennis courts. The house is well appointed including water toys, hot tub, etc. And the owner is always super responsive!

PERECT Vacation
The home was much larger than we expected and wow the place is gorgeous. Kitchen has everything anyone could ask for, the grill worked like a dream, beds were comfortable and the outside deck was perfect for our family. We didn’t want to leave. Home owner was excellent communicated and super nice too - always an added benefit . Highly recommend - just don’t try to book when we are because we want to go back again

Great Stay at Stinson!
What a wonderful trip for our family! The house is located in a perfect spot in the Seadrift community - right between the manmade lagoon and the natural Bolinas lagoon and a short walk to the beach. The house is equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen for cooking meals, including a large gas grill. The house is stocked with linens, beach towels, and there was plenty of room for our family, friends, and our dogs. It was great having the canoe and kayak provided with the house, as well as the cruiser bikes for laps around the neighborhood. Thanks fo much for a great stay!

A breath of fresh air!!!
The house is open to the views in all directions, sun drenched, and well equipped! Our group loves the water and are foodies. The kitchen had everything we needed, even a waffle maker which we intended to bring and forgot! The front garden is lovely! Will hopefully return in the near future!!

Wonderful Spot for a Weekend Getaway
This house was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway from the busy city. We enjoyed kayaking on the water, surfing Bolinas, and relaxing in the sun on the deck. Megan was a great and communicative host, and we hope to be back at some point again in the future!

Perfect location, fabulous house
The location of the house right on the lagoon alone would have made our stay great, but so many other things were perfect for us too: clear and fast owner communications, simple check-in and lock system, gorgeous water views out both sides of the house, a dock and boats, lovely furnishings and books, comfortable bedrooms, and a well-supplied kitchen. Being able to vacation with our dogs made it even more fun and memorable!

Always Fabulous
We’ve stayed here a number of times over the years and it is always perfect. Comfortable, full of light, amazing views both front and back. The definition of relaxing — and the polar opposite of a bland, cookie-cutter vacation rental. I only wish we could rent it more often!

incredibly well-equipped, capacious and comfortable home
The ambience reflects years of affection and the setting is wonderfully conducive for great meals, conversations, and enjoyment of nature. It rained and was cold about 95% of our post-Christmas stay and we STILL loved being there... on the 5% sunny day moment, it was even better- hope to return at a different season!

Slice of Heaven
The perfect house and location. It's been a few years since I've stayed at this house and it was better than I remembered. You can tell that Megan, the owner, spends time at this house. It has a warm feel to it, and everything you need to cook, kayak or read a book. Just what the Doctor ordered. Can't wait to go back!! Thank you Megan for sharing this special place.

Fabulous get away
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house is a gem; there are windows from every room which bring so much natural light in. It had lots of interesting art work and give the house character. We were provided all amenities and we felt welcome and very comfortable. Megan was responsive to our inquiries and was attentive to our needs at all time. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and created some wonderful memories. We are hoping to come back very soon!!

idyllic stinson beach stay
One deck looks out on the natural lagoon with hundreds of shore birds, the other deck, on the manmade lagoon which you can swim in and canoe or paddle board on (and watch pelicans fish...and even deer swim!). A 20 minute walk (or 2 minute drive) to the quiet Northern end of Stinson Beach.....heaven!

Perfect house
We usually stay at the Sand Piper in town but wanted something bigger and this house was perfect! We loved the well stocked kitchen, beautiful rooms that looked right over the water and the hot tub was used morning and night! I loved that it had - bathroom for all three bedrooms. Only improvement would be a queen bed in the third room but we still loved our stay!

Wonderful Property
Our family had a fabulous and fun stay! Everything you need to enjoy your time is provided. The location is awesome. We loved being able to have fun on the lagoon and to be so close to the beach. We appreciated that the deck is fenced in for our dogs. The hot tub was really clean and we enjoyed it every day. We would not hesitate to come here again! Thanks so much for a great family vacation!

The house was amazing! We had fun searching for sea glass on Stinson beach. It was magical watching sea lions floating in the bay.

Wish we could stay for a month!

Incredible stay
What an amazing place this is. We have rented from Megan at least 5 times now over the last 10 years. This house has everything. The views, location, and decor are wonderful. The beach is a short walk, less than a mile. There are Pickleball and tennis courts nearby which we enjoyed. Communication with Megan is perfect. The beds are comfortable and the house is incredibly well stocked. We will be back!!!

A great retreat!
The house is light and comfortable and the kitchen very well-equipped. Megan was easy and responsive. Some items are dated and the cleaners could have done a better job -- the soap needed to be refilled in both bathrooms, and the outdoor mats were very sandy and old, but we didn't mind. The only issue was the loud construction next door and a few houses down, which obviously is not the owner's fault. 5 stars!

Spring break in Bolinas
Great house in a gated community. It is a special location. Beach a few long blocks away or easy car ride and parking. But, the view in front of the house is amazing. Had kids ages 7 and 9. Hot tub was easy and great. Lots of construction going on during weekdays so be prepared for that. Houses being worked on all over the neighborhood. But, worth it for the views and easy access to all fun things being by the water.
