Nestled just above the beautiful breakers of Stinson Beach, the "Casa Buena Vista" is a classic beach house with white water views of the Pacific Ocean, the beach and the surrounding hills of Mount Tamalpais State Park. The south facing deck runs the length of the house, gets sun all day long and is sheltered from the wind by the trees of the adjoining State preserve. From the large, private hot tub you can listen to the rhythm of breaking waves and count shooting stars while enjoying a glass of wine.

The house is surrounded by one acre of lush gardens that include native flowers & plants, succulents and cacti that attract butterflies and humming birds. The five-acre Monarch Butterfly Preserve next door offers sightings of falcons, owls and other wildlife. At the Casa, you are surrounded by the sounds, sights and sensations of nature.

The living room/dining room is spacious and welcoming with a natural pine cathedral ceiling, spectacular views, comfy couches and chairs and a wood burning stove. From the bedrooms you can hear the sound of the surf at night. This is a perfect place for a relaxing getaway with family or friends. Unlike many beach rentals, the Casa is just a two-minute walk from local restaurants, galleries, the beach park, and even an old fashioned general store. So during your stay, you can park your car and forget it for awhile.

Here is what some past guests have to say about the Casa Buena Vista:

"This house is wonderful - beautifully placed - easy and comfortable. My family and I had a truly special time here and hope to return some day. Thank you for sharing this house."
Sue S. & Family

Wow - what an awesome way to spend a weekend! The house, the view, everything. So perfect. Can't wait to come back. Next time will be a week stay. Total privacy.
Anthony & Marcy, Sebastopol, CA

This was the perfect place to gather with friends to celebrate my 40th - and thanks for allowing dogs!
L.N.H.

"Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and lovely and relaxing home. We had a wonderful time - morning excursions, afternoons at the beach, evenings in the hot tub. We hope to return again next summer!"
Leah H and friends and family

Additional accommodations: Tucked away on the property is a lovely one-bedroom cottage (the "Honeymoon Cottage") with a carved-wood and wicker frame CA-king-sized bed, private hot tub and deck, and beautiful ocean views. It has its own kitchen, bath and living room and can be rented with the main house or separately - please ask us for details.

                        We had a great week here in Stinson. We’ve vacationed in Stinson many times over the years, but never stayed up on the hill – we loved it! The view was fabulous, the garden is wonderful, and the house is very comfortable. We brought our 3 sons with us, ages 17, 20 and 23 and had a great family time.

                        We enjoyed every minute: the mysterious fog as well as the bright sun, the cold surf, as well as the view from the hot tub, collecting shells, discovering starfish, building sandcastles, flying a kite…and on top a whale blowing for our farewell – what a wonderful time we had!

                        We celebrated two birthdays here: this is the perfect home away from home. The spectacular views and the short distance to town made a very relaxing vacation. The gardens and orientation of the house made it feel very private. Thank you for a wonderful time – only 30 minutes from our home!

                        We’ll be back for sure! Perfect place for our family gathering. Even with the wind at the beach, it was warm and lovely on the deck. Garden was magical – saw a deer, butterflies, birds and hummers.

                        The Hemmerichs “All good things must come to an end.” Our family has rented homes to as far south as Bear Valley and as far up as Mendocino. So far, 145 Buena Vista tops ‘em all! We are looking forward to our next visit next year.

                        We just wanted to say a big thank you for renting out this lovely house to us. Of all the houses we’ve stayed in (including ones in Ireland, Santa Barbara, and Cape Cod), this one may very well be the best of them all. We’ve all had a fantastic week in Stinson Beach, and we hope to get the chance to return here in the near future. WE hope that the families who stay here after us have as great a time as we did. Thanks a million. Arlington, MA P.S. we loved the hot tub!!

                        Watched the moon rise and the sun set last night, and this morning woke up to a brillant orange sky as the sun was rising in the east. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home for celebrating birthdays, New Years and family. We'll be back.

                      Why Stinson Beach:
                      The Casa Buena Vista offers spectacular ocean views, a warm, sunny "micro-climate" and a sense of peace and privacy that lets you feel as though you are far from civilization - even though it is less than an hour's drive to San Francisco. We love being able to "escape" to another world when we relax at the Casa.
