Location: Stinson Beach, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (Located on the Coast Less Than an Hour from San Francisco) View Map
Accommodations: Duplex, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Our modern, bright & airy beach house has been in our family for over 30 years. Located less than half a block from the beach and only a few short blocks from the restaurants and stores in the scenic town of Stinson Beach, it's an ideal location for really "getting away from it all."
The entire house has was completely redecorated and updated with a newly landscaped yard in 2008. Two units include two full kitchens & living rooms. Each unit sleeps four, with the smaller unit having one bedroom with a queen bed & a twin day bed with twin trundle in the living room, and one full bathroom. The larger unit features two large bedrooms with queen sized beds and two full bathrooms.
The larger unit has a large second floor deck with an ocean view and table that can seat 8, as well as a gas grill and lounge chairs. The larger unit also features an open plan kitchen with dining area that can seat 8.
A private backyard has a paved flagstone eating area, fruit trees, and new landscaping. The units are accessed by separate front doors off of a covered walkway. The smaller unit is partially handicapped accessible.
Both units have electric baseboard heaters as well as wood burning cast iron stoves. Wood is provided for "fireside" dining.
West Marin is one of the jewels of the San Francisco Bay Area. Stinson Beach, the West Marin town closest to San Francisco, is a small beachside town with less than 1,000 year round residents. It is the biggest, nicest beach within striking distance of the urban pleasures that abound in Northern California. Less than an hour from San Francisco, and only 30 minutes from Mill Valley and the picturesque town of Sausalito, it's an ideal location from which to explore all that the Bay Area has to offer.
Yet when you are at Stinson, you are surrounded by nature. Surfing, swimming, hiking on Mt Tamalpais, the majestic redwoods of Muir Woods, and the Audubon Canyon Ranch Bird Preserve are part of the bounty of West Marin. Walking on the beach you can spot seals and many, many birds as the nearby Bolinas Lagoon is a vital part of the Pacific Flyover for migrating birds.
The towns of Bolinas, Olema, & Point Reyes Station are all easily accessible. Within an hour’s drive are the towns of Tomales Bay and Occidental, famous for it’s old Italian restaurants.
Stinson beach offers several restaurant options, as do the surrounding towns. Fresh oysters, mussels, and clams can be picked up nearby, as can a wide variety of fresh produce from local farms. There is an outstanding weekly farmer’s market in Pt. Reyes featuring locally grown organic produce.

Why the Owner Chose Stinson Beach
Stinson Beach is one of our favorite parts of the Bay Area - it's close to "civilization" while feeling completely removed. It's a great place to get away from the hecticness of daily life, and close enough to be able to do it often!
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex
Being so close to both the beach and to town is invaluable, but there are times we hardly leave the privacy and beauty of the deck and yard!
Owner's Map of Stinson Beach
Our family has owned this property for close to 40 years - three generations have been able to and continue to enjoy it. We live in Oakland, about an hour away from Stinson Beach, meaning we get to enjoy the house often when it's not being rented.
