About this house rental
IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICE:
Marin county is not allowing short-term rentals at this time. Only rentals of 31 days or more are allowed. Our rates and calendar settings have been updated accordingly. We will update as conditions change.
========================================================
Our magical Stinson Beach house is a peaceful retreat from work and the city, but in perfect reach of San Francisco. Four bedrooms and three baths including one kids room is the perfect place to relax, recharge by yourself or with the family.
Our house is completely renovated on a quiet beach side patio. We are one row of houses back from the beach, so you can hear the waves crash on the beach and it will take you just 1 minute to walk onto the beach from the house.
Inside, you'll find all the comforts of home, including the fastest internet access we could get in Stinson Beach (sorry, it's not that fast, about 6mb, but just enough for streaming HD). The kitchen was equipped by a Cordon-Bleu trained chef and all the furnishing are up to date.
We're committed to keeping our carbon footprint small. Every bulb in the house is either CFL or LED. Power is primarily provided by solar panels on the roof.

This home was very accommodating. We felt very looked after from the hospitality box, well-stocked kitchen, towels, toiletries, beach toys, high chair and gate for the stairs.
Even a baby bath for the tiny one. Each room is thoughtfully and comfortably furnished.
For your stay I would recommend bringing your own tissues, environmental laundry soap, dishwashing cloth and scrubber. You need an iPhone (or your own streaming device) to connect with the TV. Otherwise, feel very well looked after.

Pleasant Trip
This is a collective response from members of our stay: Five stars for the incredible landscaping as well as the very well-stocked kitchen! The house and yard were very spacious too. The proximity to the beach was exactly what we were looking for. A convenient outdoor shower was very handy to help keep things clean and sand-free. We enjoyed the hot tub too!
The other reviews touch on some similar sentiments - the home could use more hand towels and the firepit was a bit puzzling to work. There is also room for improvement on communication because we were not sure how to leave the home (i.e. strip the beds or leave towels, etc.) and emails came back slow. Overall, the home and location were a great place and this trip was made very enjoyable by our stay in Paul's beautiful home.

Great house with plenty of room for a family to spread out. All bedrooms on first floor and open kitchen, dining and living room upstairs. Appreciated the baby gate for stairs to keep kids corralled upstairs. Great yard for hanging outside.
Short path to beach, able to walk to see other family staying on lagoon and short walk or bike ride to town. Beach was not crowded at all. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We live in the Bay Area and love to vacation at Stinson Beach. This house was wonderful. Steps from the beach, beautiful yard, and comfortable. Also, walking distance to town. The owners were responsive and helpful when we needed help with a few things.

Everything was fantastic. The beach was so close and the house so comfortably laid out! We thoroughly enjoyed evenings in the hot tub and days at the beach. We cooked many meals and the kitchen had everything we could have needed. Will definitely stay again and hopefully soon ❤

We have stayed at this property a couple of times in the last few years. The house is very spacious. The kitchen has what you need and more. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The living room is big and simple with a good tv. Perfect for movie nights.
The house is literal steps from the beach, but has a cozy neighborhood feel. The hot tub and the firepit, grill and nice outdoor furniture, make the outdoor space a great lounge area we used a lot.
Very much recommend this house.

Little Ray of Sunshine!
Since we were cancelled over summer due to Covid the delightful owner offered us an opportunity to come in October. We have been spending a week in Stinson with the same group for 15 years in an older home we loved. When the owners there decided to retire, we set off to find a new place to continue building memories and we are so happy we found this place!
We all quarantined for 10 days and got tested prior to our visit and one of our group was evacuated from the fires In Napa and found out the day we arrived their house was one of only a few still standing. With so much going on right now in life, this was the absolute perfect place to let go and re- charge.
The home is well cared for and has so much to offer. Space both inside and out. Large rooms, updated baths, and an unbelievably well stocked kitchen (we would recommend more kitchen towels & paper towels) as we are food and wine folks and love to cook running out of dish towels every night. The Nespresso machine was an added bonus and seriously there is every type of cooking appliance you could want!
Since we had to walk up and down the hill to the beach in our last house, it took a day or so for it to sink in just how close the beach access is-what a treat especially for the kids.
The yard has changed since photos were taken and there is no longer a volleyball court or place to play corn hole as they updated their septic system. We brought ours and were a bit surprised but with the beach so close you don’t need it and the yard is ideal for relaxing in the hot tub (which stayed hot!)and s’mores on the fire pit was great!
We had such a lovely time and look forward to visiting again. Would highly recommend this to anyone!

We absolutely loved our time at this home. It’s perfectly located steps from the beach and with a quick beach walk you are in the cute lil’ town. We were surprised at how well stocked the local grocery store was. Very small but well stocked. The house was fantastic. It’s amazing how quiet it is in the downstairs master. I couldn’t even hear the game-playing teenagers upstairs at all!!! The kitchen is especially well stocked! Even the knives were sharp. The hosts were easy to communicate and extremely kind! We will for sure be returning!

We had a fabulous long weekend with kids and grandkids and found the house perfect for us. The fenced in yard was ideal for all to play and relax in, with volleyball, sandy and grass areas for kids and only a 1 minute walk to beach. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you'd possibly need for cooking and baking as well. The owners were lovely to deal with, by far the best rental experience I've ever had!

Loved our stay here. Beautiful house, well equipped with quality items. Lovely little 1 minute walk to the beach. Yard, BBQ, hot tub, fire pit, this house has everything we could have hoped for.

Family Fun at the Beach
The property and the house itself are in a great location just steps from the beach via public walking path. Very private on a cul de sac, in walking distance to downtown. We were two families with 3 teenagers so we got a lot of use out of the property with the hot tub, lounging and S’Mores by the fire pit, volleyball in the sand, and plenty of room for games like corn hole. We got full use of the kitchen and it was well stocked. We watched a couple of movies through the Apple TV which is a nice to have with kids. We had extra room with 7 people, the beds were comfortable with nice linens and we particularly enjoyed the sound machines at night. However, we did find that when we arrived the cleaning crew was still there and needed more time so we had to occupy ourselves for a while. And we did not realize till after they left that we had a shortage of hand towels in the bathroom (only one in each of the full baths, 1/2 bath did not have any). The interior of the home is starting to show its age and could use a little touch up and the exterior landscape could use some maintenance - unbeknownst to one another, both dads at different points during the trip had the urge to bust out the lawnmower : ) Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this beautiful home for a fun beach vacation for families.

The Best
Recently stayed here for the 4th time I believe. We've stayed at a number of places in Stinson and if you're looking for a larger home good for families I am not sure it gets any better. The location, open spaces both inside and in the fantastic fenced yard. Walking distance to town but just far enough away. It's all great.

Stinson Beach House
This house is well-appointed and conveniently located in Stinson Beach. Just steps always from the sand, you can hear the waves crashing and the salt air on your face from the moment you get out of your car. We loved walking into town via the beach to grab coffee, lunch or provisions for dinner. The bedrooms are big and the bathrooms spacious.

This is a lovely relaxing home away from home.
We combined three generations at this lovely home. There was plenty of space for 8 people, and comfortable bedrooms. Just steps to the beach, flying dragon kites, a hot tub, a fire ring, and rocking chairs on the porch and loungers in the garden. And Mt. Tamilpias too. Property owners were responsive when we had a few questions and all was well. Truly a place for rejuvenation.

Great Family Beach Trip
Had our family of 5 on this trip. Location is perfect to relax on the beach, hike Muir Woods, or head into Sausalito. The grounds are great to get out of the wind and the fire pit is perfect. Nothing needed as the home is well stocked. Took family photographs on the beautiful beach.

Amazing family vacation house minutes from the beach
This was a fantastic house and we had a great time. The owner was also very responsive and accommodating about some issues when we arrived and even gave us a free night to make up for the inconvenience. The yard is lovely and the beach is very close by. Would definitely return!

Exceeded even our highest hopes
We go to Stinson every year for 5 days, and this year we wanted to try a new house. This house is honestly one of the best VRBO/AirBnB's we have ever stayed in. It's spacious, beautiful home with good flow for family and friends. The outdoor space is awesome, and the kitchen is perfectly stocked. It feels homey, cozy and just right. And of course, the location is perfect in every way. Owners were friendly easy to reach. Can't recommend highly enough.

Perfect retreat spot!
This home and property with the big yard and fire pit was delightful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped for us to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal for 10 - 8 family and 2 visitors for the day. The walk to the beach was quick and easy - and the beach spectacular! The home is very comfortable and easy to relax in. We highly recommend this home - especially for families who love the beach!!
