Our families custom-designed home is ideally situated close to the end of the Seadrift Lagoon with gorgous unobstructed views of Bolinas Lagoon. Featuring 12ft. ceilings with skylights and windows galore allowing our guests to enjoy the beauty of the area from the inside out.
Seadrift is a gated community within the community of Stinson Beach, away from the busy public beach traffic, providing a more private and relaxing beach experience. This is a fablous retreat for nature lovers, hikers, birdwatchers, kayakers, beachwalkers, cyclists and runners. The famous annual Dipsea race has it's finish line in downtown Stinson Beach every June. the Audubon Canyon Ranch, famous for it's Snowy Egret nesting site is just 2 miles away. Mount Tamalpais and the Golden Gate Nat'l Recreation area have miles of some of the most beautiful hiking and biking in Northern California. Families with childres will appreciate the convenience of having the man-made lagoon as your back yard for swimming and kayaking.
Downtown Stinson Beach has three local resturants for relaxed/casual dining; a great bookstore, an art gallery, gift shops, library and video store.
The little town of Bolinas (roughly 5 miles away, up the coast) has Duxbury reef, which is a great place to take the kids tidepooling. The Sonoma and Napa Valley are easy day trips.

We were so glad we've chosed this accommodation for our stay near San Francisco. So close by car but so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Loved the beautiful area very much. Above all the view to the lagoon with so many birds and the sea lions (actually they are harbor seals). Had beautiful weather, sunny and warm. The house was very nice and provided everything we needed.

We've stayed at Stinson many times, always on the oceanfront, and enjoyed it everytime. But this experience, between the lagoons was magical and well beyond our expectations. The house is terrific - we love the architecture and art. Thank you so much. We're more fit then we've ever been - we hiked, swam, kyacked, ran, beach-combed and even had time to relax. Can't wait to return

We are back this year - only for a week this time. Our "kids" were out over the weekend. Hard to believe that our "baby" really was a baby when we first rented this wonderful home. Since we are "locals" we soak-up the joys watching the birds on the Bolinas lagoon, long beach walks, canoeing and kyacking on Seadrift Lagoon, bicycling into the timy town of Stinson Beach for ice cream cones.

The Carter Family had a wonderful, relaxing week. We took day trips to Pt. Reyes, Sonoma, Mill Valley, San Francisco and Bodega Bay. We enjoyed canoeing on both lagoons. OUr almost three year-old now calls this "Grandma's Stinson Beach House". We will all remember the tranquil days at 205 Dipsea a.k.a. Grandma's Stinson Beach House
