Location location location!!

Perfectly located for a friend getaway including my pup. Right on a dog friendly beach, it was convenient for daily walks to town for delicious treats. Hostess Angela was super responsive to an issue we had with the water heater and had it repaired the next day. I would love to return to this beachfront gateway

Gorgeous beachfront

Stinson is our magical spot and we were so happy to find a cute BEACHFRONT property that is reasonably priced, walking distance to town and dog friendly. We love the master bedroom- can watch the waves while cozied up in bed.

First off, I would like to send some photos is that possible? It would put our stay a little more in perspective. In short not exactly what we anticipated.

Best location for a beach vacation

My husband and I had our son and granddaughter staying with us. The access to the beach right out our door was so perfect for my sand loving, wave hopping preschooler!The kitchen was sufficient for our meals that were prepared as we went. It is within walking distance to downtown Stinson, where we enjoyed latte’s and treats. My son was able to crab fish right out our front door, and we were thrilled to be able to enjoy the fruit of his labor. Perfect!

Incredible location - wonderful stay!

I have stayed in many properties over the years at Stinson Beach, and the location doesn’t get much better than this one. The view from the main bedroom is literally onto the surf breaking 30 yards away. Great little deck (on the beach). My son surfed right in front of the house and was “buzzed” by dolphins playing alongside him in the waves! Ideal for a family (2 adults, 2 kids), “small” inside but everything you need (including a log fire to snuggle up in front of in the evenings if the fog roles in). But who cares? You “live” on the beach and deck!!! Will definitely come back again!

Beach Front White Water View

Lovely spot to relax in right on the beach, views of varied beach acivies: walking, surfing, kites, jogging — and for surfers, you are right there! Park Side Cafe has really upgraded, superb bakery, excellent chef. Breakers Cafe also very good. Bookstore and library close at hand, and Mt. Tam is just across thge street with world class coastal view trails and redwoods. Stinson Beacch Market is well-stocked — including fresh vegetables — and has friendly staff members.

Wonderful stay!

PERFECT little place! We will be back. The views are amazing, the bed is the most comfortable I've ever slept on away from home, and the location can't be beat. There is a lovely deck, but if you want to sit on the sand, bring your own beach chairs.

Best beachfront property on Stinson beach on a budget

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Just plan ahead to bring things for shower, extra towels, some firewood (yes, even it’s summer) and you will sure to enjoy it. In addition to hours of fun on sandy beach and beautiful views, the nightly stargazing is amazing too!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Rubin

Host profile image
Our goal is to make you feel welcome and relaxed for your vacation. Whether you elect to play in the sun, try boogie boarding, hike mountain trails or enjoy taking time alone our house has what you need.
Decorations are European in style and the furniture is kid-friendly and very comfortable with designer touches everywhere. This is comfortable oceanfront living at its best with modern amenities where you can have a healthy day, a restful evening and a sound night's sleep.

Why they chose this property

When we discovered Stinson Beach we couldn't believe that such a lovely little town could remain so unspoiled. Although only 30 mins from Mill Valley it remains a refuge from the real world for all who come and stay. Owner is close by (next door) and available to answer questions or help to plan your outings. West Marin is such a special place and there's so much to do here, we feel very blessed to be able to share this amazing place.

What makes this property unique

Ocean Front - view the dolphins playing and hear the sound of the waves breaking while you lie in bed. Watch whales as they blow and surface. Enjoy all the unique benefits of being able to see the Ocean from your bed. There's nothing like watching the sunset over the Ocean or seeing the light change throughout the day. Truly a wonderful spot for relaxing and viewing nature's wonders.
