Get Away House
A colorful cottage only a short block to the gorgeous beach. The house is very dog friendly with a charming enclosed back deck and yard. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and the rest of the house is informal with a very comfortable bedroom. The pull-out bed in the living room needs to be upgraded. Our stay would have been more successful if the weather hadn't been pouring rain.The manager was very friendly, helpful and available.

Birthday Getaway
Booked for 3 nights and ended up only staying for one. Upon arrival, the outdoor light was not on, making it hard to see. Once inside we were able to confirm the bulb was burnt out. The house was like an ice box and the only sources of heat were a fireplace and no firewood provided. That left us with an oil space heater that even at the highest setting barely emitted any heat and could only be plugged into one outlet. We located two additional space heaters which started to heat the place a little more but were not sufficient only to then trip the main breaker turning off the power to the entire house. Thankfully we were able to locate the main box outside of the home. Certainly not an ideal location/home during the winter months as clearly the home also is not well insulated. We had also requested for the sofa bed be made up for my mother and when we arrived it was not. Once the property manager got back to via text, he told me to buy firewood, and he would reimburse me. Unfortunately, the store was already closed (as most people who are familiar with Stinson know). He also told me to make the bed up with spare sheets. Unfortunately, there were no pillowcases. The mattress was squeaky and uncomfortable, and the sheets had stains all over them. The kitchen was dirty, the refrigerator and freezer smelled old and musty. The home itself smelt old and musty. A single night’s stay and less than 24 hours ended up costing us over 600. I would not stay here again nor recommend it.

Great proximity to the beach
Cute and quaint beach house ideal for enjoying during the warm weather seasons as it is the perfect distance from the sand. Unfortunately the rain prevented us from spending much time at the beach. We chose the wrong time of year to stay somewhere like this as we didn’t get to fully enjoy the amenities like the cozy patio or nearby beach..

The place is very cute and comfortable. Perfect for two or three people. Easy access to the beach. We did have to clean up pet mess in theback yard from the prevoous guests. The place could use some updates furniture and indoor painting.

Great place and a great location
My wife and I (and our two dogs!) got away for three days and this cottage perfectly fit the bill. We were maybe one minute from the beach and it’s a quiet block. We were also about a one minute drive from the tiny town of Stinson Beach. The market is well-stocked and there are two good restaurants. Make sure and grab wood from the market, because this cottage got cold at times.

Weekend getaway
Cute and funky property. Very cozy. Well equipped. Literally steps from the beach! Pillows in bedroom are not clean and need replacing. Reported that bathroom light did not work but nobody ever came to fix it. Spacious and fenced in backyard. Bring your own wood for fireplace. Walking distance, along the beach, to town! Easy parking in front yard! Spices Ns cooking oil in kitchen! Would recommend!

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.

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.
