  This cottage was exactly what we needed for a great weekend. It's a sweet little house, comfortable, and has everything you need. Good for kids and very quiet too. Thanks Rodger!

  This was a great cottage to stay in with my family. My kids (5 & 8) enjoyed the movies and toys that were supplied by the owner. My husband and I enjoyed the well-stocked condiments and spices in the kitchen, the super comfy queen bed, and the skylights that allowed us to enjoy the sunshine without even being outside. The path to the beach is just a few steps away. This part of the beach is not very crowded, which gave the kids space to run around and not worry about stepping on anyone else's stuff. Will definitely recommend.

  This charming and cozy cottage was the perfect place for a stay at Stinson. Very close to the beach, easy walking to town it is well located to take advantage of what Stinson has to offer. The cottage was clean and the kitchen is well equipped. I will definately stay herre again and recommend it to friends.

  I can't say enough about how wonderful this cottage and Rodger is. We intended San Francisco to be our main focus, but loved the relaxation of the cottage and beauty of Muir Woods better. Everything was clean and comfortable, with many extra towels and bedding available. The kitchen was stocked with every gadget we wanted, as well as spices, oil, flour and other pantry staples available to share. There was even charcoal in the grill. The kids were occupied with Ping Pong (rather than TV!!) while I cooked. There were 2 boogie boards and a surf board to ride the waves. The ocean is cold and there are wet suits available. We brought our own, so I didn't check sizes. The beach is really only 200 feet from the cottage and pristine, no litter. I collected Sand Dollars, but didn't see any shells. The sand was soft - no broken shells to hurt bare feet. We saw dolphins and harbor seals playing in the surf. Fortunately, NO sharks. This is a popular beach for locals and the public beach had visitors, but we had our stretch of beach almost to ourselves. The cool breeze off the ocean was a welcome break from MN heat and humidity. No AC needed and there was a heater to warm the morning chill. Almost forgot to mention the laundry facilities. Beautiful high efficiency Whirlpool....better than many people have at home...and they provided laundry soap and dryer sheets. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

  Owner response: Thanks; we try to please families such as yourselves; we just added beach chairs that you can take to the sandy beach. Rodger

  I just returned from my annual Sister's Weekend, and with my 3 sisters, enjoyed staying at this darling cottage for 3 nights. Very clean, very well stocked (except for beach chairs) with owners who were very responsive to emails and questions. The beds were comfortable, the hammock snooze-worthy, and the beach just steps away! Drove to the Dipsea Trailhead in 2 minutes, drove to the city in under an hour, and was always happy to come "home" to our little cottage by the sea!
