Soft sand, soft bed, soft tiwels
Great stay at the cute oceanside cottage. We had everything we needed and Colby made sure we were well informed. Loved information on the checkin website. Great stay close to Muir Woods, panoramic highway, and the best oysters on up the coast to Tomatoes Bay! Highly recommended for a couple of any age.

Living beautifully
Location, location, location. We love being so close to the beach. Your cottage is adorable and we loved it again. As far as feedback, we have some. The backyard was a bit run down this time. The fence was broken I imagine from the rain storms . It also looks as though the gardener left piles which were needed to be recycled into the green bin. Last time the back yard was pristine. The bed was also a bit soft this time. Everything breaks down eventually. Just feedback for you. On the whole, everything else was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great beach cabin
Wonderful ‘back to basics’ cabin, 4 houses away from a sandy beach access. Fabulous cafe 6 blocks away with early morning croissants daily. Super friendly community. A great base for local trail hiking.

The location of this place is super convenient and the house is beautiful. We loved being able to walk right over to the beach and come back whenever we wanted and having an overall awesome trip. The house felt clean and had great character.

Love, love, love this place! So quaint and cozy. Our dog loved the backyard and you can’t beat a two minute walk down a private path to the beach. The two plug-in heaters came in handy for a chilly rainy weekend stay

Getaway with dogs plus Bon could use his walker.
We loved the first impression of the property. By the time we unloaded all of our stuff for the house, we added an electric blanket on the bed. It wasn’t till later that we realized it was going to get cold, and we couldn’t figure out where the wood was or whether we could even use that stove I don’t know if I missed that in the overall or not, plus the damper does not move in and out at all so our wood burnt up very quickly. If we had a fire the first night we would have not froze to death but that was our main goal. The next day was to find heat. I went into town and bought Wood was fine and when I got home, I found the wood alongside the back of the property, but I needed the Botwood to get the wood to burn. The kitchen equipment was very well stocked. We had a wonderful time grilling in the backyard. We had to clean the grill. It was pretty bad, but Jim spent the time doing that in the sun in the backyard. Four people moving around the house during the day is fine. I was glad to see them go when it was time for them to go also the front door I was very careful not to open that top door as you said, for some reason just before I left, it came undone and I spent 15 or 20 minutes trying to get that fixed before I left the house. having to move the garbage cans Tuesday the night before I thought was a bit much to ask of us we’re old I don’t even move my own garbage cans out and trying to roll. Those in the wet sand were very difficult but I tried and I just couldn’t do it.

Adorable Cottage - Great Location!
The cottage is perfect for a couple's getaway.....it's really cute and well-equipped. The yard is huge and and a nice space to enjoy meals, although the beach is just a few minute walk so it's hard to choose (o: The bed was also super comfy. Only thing I would add is if you are a movie lover there is just one smallish TV in the bedroom. It also would be nice if the washer/dryer worked (especially if you are staying for a longer period of time). Really really special weekend though and we had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for sharing your space!

Great location
The property was cute, well stocked and just a few steps to the beach. The location was perfect. A quick walk to restaurants or trailheads and just a minute walk down to the beach. Property was overall clean, but kitchen could use some deep cleaning. Great backyard with plenty of outdoor space. There was no real eating area besides the tiny island in the kitchen. An outdoor patio table would be a nice addition, so that there is a proper table, there is plenty of room. My reservation process was rocky. After making an initial reservation I requested a change in checkout dates. VRBO did have a technical issue the first time that I requested, not a big deal. However, it took me several more emails to the host over the course of month to get my date changed and a refund for one night. He then never changed the date in the actual VRBO reservation calendar, so he was messaging me after I had checked out, thinking I was still there. I am also a VRBO host and understand the process of changing reservation details, it’s a simple process on the host’s end. There was a technical glitch the first time I requested the change, but VRBO resolved the issue shortly after.

Lifetime friends get away!
Three high school friends (Some are grandmother's now.) stayed the weekend in this cute Mouse Hole. We so loved the place and it was the perfect size. Loved the backyard which would be warmer than the front side if needed. Such a short nice walk to the beach with perfect sand, not too many people and dogs having fun. Power went out all over Stinson Beach in the evening and we found a flashlight, stood it up and had enough light to get around and the battery tea light for the bathroom. Glad we knew where to find what we needed.
