What a wonderful home! This was our first time with the VRBO process and Jennifer guided us through it like a pro. I was especially impressed with the guidance she provided on things to do in the area via a packet of information. The home was clean, well maintained, and in excellent shape. It is very close to the beach and in a nice area. We loved it!!!

I was so blesed to spend time in this truly magical place over the holidays. Gorgeous sunsets from my balcony every evening and colorful beautiful morning skys as I woke. This beach house was like being in a spacious tree house...comfortable, light, great for entertaining. I've never slept better...the bed was dreamy. Hiking trails right out the front door...three days was not nearly enough time to enjoy this peaceful place.

My family accompanied me as I participated in the Stinson Beach Marathon. What a terrific event in a friendly, laid back town. This house is absolutely wonderful! Great location, beautiful view, and super comfy and clean. The owner was helpful and even sent information ahead of time, so we could plan our time in Stinson. We plan to return again to this fabulous Stinson Beach home!

House is a true delight! Clean, comfortable, well supplied, delightful kitchen (for a foodie that's always a huge plus!) and gorgeous view of the beach & bay. It was not as close to the beach as we had thought but with a vehicle beach access was just a couple of minutes. Jennifer was so very helpful coordinating everything for our stay - much appreciated! The area is so rich in activities - horse back riding, hiking, surfing, beach walks, bird watching & more. Definitely a 'keeper' & we look forward to our next stay!

Owner response:I'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves. Cheers.

Honeymoon heaven

Guest: Nomad756 (England)
Date of Stay: 09/30/11 Review Submitted: 10/17/11

We booked this for a chill-out week in the middle of our 3-week Californian honeymoon - and it did not disappoint. The house is exactly as advertised in the photos - bright, clean, modern and homely with fantastic views over the bay - in fact the photos don't quite do the place justice. Waking up to the sound and sight of the ocean without having to leave the bed was heavenly. If we could pick the house up and take it with us we would. The location was superb, really peaceful with all amenities nearby. We loved strolling along the deserted 3 mile beach. The owner was brilliant to deal with, friendly and very quick to respond at all times. It's also a good base for day trips to San Francisco (we drove to the ferry in Sausalito). Thank you for letting us stay here. We hope to return to stay one day when we have our own family.

Owner response:Wow, I'm thrilled you had such a lovely time. Please come back when you have that family started in a year :)

I spent the summer at this gorgeous home, and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Every single detail of this beautiful home is amazing. It is located in the perfect spot, with stunning views. Not a single detail of comfort has been overlooked. It is flooded with light, warmth, and utter peaceful beautiful. My only disappointment was leaving!

Sweet Stinson

We have stayed at this wonderful home several times and absolutely love it! Amazingly bright with spectacular views, right up the street from the beach and town and with easy access to hiking, it is a great location. The interior decor is fresh and contemporary and the kitchen is great for those who enjoy cooking. This home is obviously loved by the owners as it is impeccably maintained. We recommed it highly!

Owner response:Thanks Daisy!!!!

Wonderful Beach Getaway!

Guest: Laura (Novato)
Date of Stay: 03/19/11 Review Submitted: 04/12/11

I highly recommend this wonderful vacation home! Beautiful and breathtaking views of the pacific and rolling redwood covered hills await your glance out every window! This artistically modern home was well equipped with all the comforts of your personal home. Come prepared to cook in the gorgeous kitchen that is the heart of the home. I loved sitting on the deck and soaking in the view with my book and glass of wine...a slice of heaven. You are within walking distance of the beach, spectacular hiking and the quaint town of Stinson Beach. My family and I can’t wait to visit again!

Owner response:Thank you so much.

This house was light and bright with a beautiful view of Stinson Beach. I was very happy with my stay. The location was perfect...walking distance to everything with hiking trails for exercise. I would highly recommend this property to friends/relatives.

Fabulous Stinson Beach House

Guest: Beach Lover (Marin)
Date of Stay: 03/06/11 Review Submitted: 05/09/11

This house is perfectly located in walking distance to restaurants, the beach or trail heads that lead to amazing views and waterfalls. The inside of the house is decorated beautifully in a relaxed beach style. From the large great room there is an ocean view that can also be enjoyed from one of the decks. I’ve stayed here with girlfriends and my family at different times of the year. Each trip, fabulous.

Owner response:Glad you enjoyed yourselves........a special place indeed.

My husband, son and I have stayed here twice and hope to again this Summer. It's ideally located just a few blocks from the beach (a lovely, easy walk up a slight hill) and has an absolutely private feel. The interior is extremely clean, warm, modern and very comfortable. The views are spectacular. The kitchen is wonderful, open to the communal spaces and views, and has everything you could possibly need to put together a family meal. The owners provide a very useful guide to the area and are also quite accessible should questions arise. They built the home for themselves and the love and thoughtfulness that went into can easy be felt. We recommend this spot highly to all of our friends!

Owner response:Thank you very much!!!

This property has it all! Fantastic views, convenient location, well equiped kitchen, and was perfectly maintained and decorated. My wife and I enjoyed walking to the beach, shopping in town, and eating at several of the local restaurants. We stayed in Janurary and enjoyed great weather by the shore while the Sacto valley was fogged in. The drive up Mount Tam led to several breathtaking hikes and photo opportunities. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful property. We look forward to coming back!

Great Place at the beach

Guest: Birthday Girl (Marin County, CA)
Date of Stay: 01/07/10 Review Submitted: 04/12/11

We stayed at this great Stinson Beach house for my birthday. Wonderful location - close enough to the beach to hear the surf, and to walk there or into town when you want, but far enough away to have some privacy, and in a cute residential neighborhood. Super access to the trails and Mt. Tam area from the back of the neighborhood - trails are just a few streets away. Although the bedroom count seems low, it isn't - 4 of us slept there just fine, and in three separate areas (the loft and the den both have sleeping areas). Wonderful appointments and finishes, and the garden is enjoyable and relaxing for an early morning cuppa. Also hosted a bunch of friends one night who drove in or stayed elsewhere in town, and the kitchen cooks for a group like a charm. It's a world away without all the fuss of travel.

Owner response:Thank you and glad you had a nice time!
