About this house rental

This property is one large home split into two distinct cottages. You get the entire property to yourself! With a top to bottom renovation in 2019, the property is styled and ready for good times. This rental is perfect for a few families or a group. The location can't be beat - park your car when you arrive and you won't need it till you leave. A 2 minute stroll to the sand and the village is out your front door. Sleep to the sound of the waves!

You will have the whole place to yourself! There are five bedrooms spread throughout the whole property. Two kitchens, four full bathrooms, five separate garden areas with outdoor dining, firepits, outdoor showers, and more. Brand new hot tub installed July 2020!

And -- the LOCATION! It's truly the best. Right in the village, one house from the beach, a short stroll to the trails of Mt Tam. The property is technically on the Dipsea Trail as it is one house away from the end of the famous Dipsea road run. The location is great for all ages.


We call the left side of the home the Steep Ravine. From the charming front garden, you'll enter into a large living room with an absurdly comfortable and large sectional couch and large screen smart TV. Off the living room are a brand new kitchen with stone counters and a dishwasher and disposal. Also off the living room is a charming dining room and full bath with shower. Heated tile floors in all the bathrooms! Upstairs there is another full bathroom with a bathtub and shower and three bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is the master, with a king bed and a gorgeous ocean view. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have two twins (bedroom 2 can be rearranged to be one king). Please note that the third bedroom (two twins) is only accessed through the second bedroom (two twins or king), so keep that in mind for privacy concerns. In bedroom 2, there is a little built in sleeping nook, perfect for a not-too-tall child.

Outside of the kitchen is a private fenced in yard with a huge dining table under heat lamps. Sit and dine as you gaze up at Mt Tam. In this yard, there is also an outdoor shower and a set of couches around a fire pit.

Upstairs, there is a wrap-around deck, lovely for ocean and mountain viewing over coffee, wine, or cocoa.

We call the right side of the property the Double Dipsea. There is another great room with a very comfortable and large sectional couch and large dining table. A set of vintage lockers holds beach towels, beach blankets, and extra supplies. Off the living room is a brand new kitchen with stone counters and a dishwasher. At the other end of the great room is the bedroom with a queen bed (organic latex mattress and down bedding) and a small full bathroom with heated floors. Through the kitchen you'll find a large private garden with hot tub, fenced in garden with a fire pit and chairs for sun lounging and star gazing.

On the other side of the kitchen is the studio. Private and lovely, this one room space includes a bathroom with a clawfoot tub plus an outdoor shower in a private, fenced in garden. One king bed plus a very comfortable day bed allow for three guests comfortably. Sliding glass doors lead out to the garden where you can sip your coffee or wine and enjoy the sounds of the waves. Smart TV, too!

Throughout the property, we have all that you need -- beach towels, beach chairs, beach blankets, boogie boards, an outdoor shower, all down bedding, beach towels, organic mattresses, fully equipped kitchen, cozy blankets, fancy lotion.

There are four parking spots included with this rental, plus two sets of laundry machines. Please note that there is a 3 night minimum for this rental, and a week-long minimum during most summer weeks. Please inquire directly with your desired dates and we will respond quickly with information about the minimum stay for your dates.

The property surpassed our expectations. The attention to detail, décor, little touches throughout, and location made our stay extra special. I will highly and confidently recommend the Cottages at Stinson Beach. You must place this on your list to visit. You'll be glad you did!

We rented both units and had a joyous time. In the process of 'living' and enjoying both units I believe that we moved almost everything from one kitchen to the other. We had a passing thought of trying to put each back to where it belonged, but decided that the ladies who cleaned after us would actually have a better idea where and how many of everything each kitchen needed. We shall return if allowed...Cece

It looked great from the listing, and it really delivered! The kitchens are beautiful, and something you can't tell, is how well appointed they are. Not just the appliances, but everything you need from cookware, to knives, to crockery; it's all there. I've never seen a rental with a Le Creuset in it before! The overall cleanliness was spot on, with everything you could need (beach towels, cleaning supplies, extra gas canisters, you name it) all there. I had a question about the firepits and the owner was instantly responsive - within fifteen minutes. Then there's the location. If you've not been to Stinson, there is one area where you can get groceries, a restaurant, etc. This place is walkable to everything. And by walkable I mean "within three minutes" walkable. Then the beach is within five at most. And you can see the ocean from the deck in 4. Downsides include: not being able to stay longer and, uh, well, that's about it. Could get a little cold in 2 overnight because that one doesn't have central, but boo hoo, the heaters work really well.

Accommodated our three generation family perfectly. Four couples. Four children (5 months to 18 years). We rented both units. Taken together, the units are well furnished, tho some items are in small supply in one unit but ample in another. Location is terrific-five minute walk to the beach, restaurants, book store, bike store and grocery store. Combined back yard (surrounded by a high fence) is superb-large outdoor dining table in one unit, hot tub in the other-when you rent both units, you have access to the entire back yard. Ample living rooms. Bedrooms vary in size as do bathrooms but they all work well. These are beach cottages (complete with the occasional mouse sighting, ant enduring and biting insects) but, unless you are expecting high luxury, these units make for an excellent and comfortable beach week vacation. And Wendy is a very responsive owner.

This property is AMAZING! looks just like the photos, stylish and comfortable. They have everything you need for an incredible retreat. The beds were heaven. Everywhere you looked there was a cozy place to sit or swing and take in the ocean breeze. We went with friends both families have 2 kids. Everyone was satisfied!! And literally steps away from yummy food, hot coffee, beach, playground, yet it's very PRIVATE! Drove in and did not get back in the car for 5 days. Can not wait to go again. Truly a special place.

Beautiful property that is a short walking distance to the beach as well as the local restaurants and stores. Very comfortable and conveniently located. We really enjoyed our stay.
