Let’s start with the definition of a COTTAGE. According to Google: A cottage is a small, simple house, usually located in the countryside or away from a city.With this said, the description of this is WAY OFF. A cottage it is not!!!! It is 2 rooms with no doors, a TINY bathroom which was reduced to put in a small kitchenette, a lot of stairs you have to pull all your luggage and ice chest up and down as well as drag all of your stuff a minimum of 20 yards through deep sand. This is NOT a cottage. It’s connected to the main residence which shares a wall so there is NO privacy for you or from the home owners. You can hear them all night. The couch, chairs, tables, night stands and bedding are all stained and very dirty to the eye. The bathroom shower is 3ft X 3ft square and if you weigh more than me (135) and 5’7 then you can’t turn in a circle without the shower door opening. And on that note, the shower door only opens 16 inches because it hits the sink and I had to turn sideways to get out. It also took 20 minutes to get hot water and yes, that is also shared with the homeowner. Don’t let the views be the reason to stay here. There is NO private beach. They rope off some property but when their family or guest are there, it’s all theirs. To say the area is loud is an understatement. This place is sandwiched between 2 large homes which are also rentals and very loud. Personally, all of the good remarks on this place have to be done by family members or friends.

Amazing beach view

We came to California from Texas to enjoy the beach and some amazing hikes. We loved everything about the area. To stay on the beach and have the beautiful state park within minutes of us was amazing. Although we were a little concerned how four of us would share one bathroom, it wasn’t a problem at all. We were so grateful to find a place within our budget actually on the beach. The only thing that would have made the stay even better would have been better communication from the host. The second night we were there the smoke detector started beeping. We messaged the host for assistance but got no response. Thankfully, it took the same batteries as the tv remote and we just swapped them out and all was good. Overall a wonderful stay in a nice little home in a great location. We had a great time. Hope to be able to come back again someday.

Beautiful spot - very convenient.

We had a beautiful stay, it's so nice to sit on the deck and have such an uninterrupted view. You can easily walk to a really good bakery and a couple bars/restaurants. Kitchen and bath are very small but we were mostly so that did not matter - view from the Queen bed is outstanding. We would definitely stay here again.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.
