Location: Stinson Beach, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (Convenient to Town, Yet Tranquil and Private)
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Detached Unit, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
The Honeymoon Cottage at Stinson Beach is the ultimate romantic escape for couples. This architectural gem has everything you need to enjoy the good life at the beach including: a private hot tub, beautiful views of the ocean, a comfy living room for relaxing together and a California King bed where you can snuggle at night and listen to the waves crashing.
You can sip wine on your sunny deck, enjoy the flowers and hummingbirds in the garden, and watch the moon rise over the ocean - all in complete privacy. The beach, park, restaurants, galleries and shops in town are an easy stroll away - but be warned: you may not want to leave the cottage!
The Honeymoon Cottage attracts many repeat guests each year. Here is what our guests say:
"Of all the places we've stayed in Stinson (and there have been many) this is the best! ...The design and siting of this cottage are perfect." Toni & Stan, Ukiah, CA
"What a dream of a cottage. We were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful everything was - flowers, views, hot tub, privacy, cottage - you have it all here. Great place to get away from it all!" Carolyn & Ron, Sacramento CA
"Third time at the cottage and love it more every time...a private sanctuary overlooking the ocean. Thank you." Richard & Carol, Berkeley, CA
"Fantastic! We love your cottage. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us....relax in the hot tub...kick around town, wine and cheese on the deck, walk on the beach, grill up dinner, snuggle in bed... What a life! We love your garden, your view and just the energy in the cottage itself. Great job on all of it." Audrey & Brian, Walnut Creek, CA

My goodness. We have been looking forward to this trip for a while now, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The views, the gardens, the hot tub, the privacy yet convenience of the beach. What a place to enjoy life. We hope to be back soon...please!!!

Of all the places we've stayed at Stinson (and there have been many) this is the best! For us it is a total retreat, perfect for mediatation, tai chi & listening to the sea. The design and siting of this cottage are perfect - all this light and yet total privacy - right in town but not of it. We love all the wood and the windows. You can sea the ocena from every room. Its so uncluttered yet comforatble. Thank you for building such a beautiful cottage.
