Stinson Oceanfront - Winter Special Rate Thru Feb 23
Year Purchased: 1966
Why the Owner Chose Stinson Beach
My parents bought the property in the mid 60's and I have been the owner for the last 20+ years.
We had been regular day visitors to Stinson Beach all along and when this opportunity came up to buy the house, my parents couldn't resist.
Several years ago it became a vacation rental and now other families and their friends can enjoy this special place and have their own pleasant memories of their stay at Stinson Beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The best part for me is just looking out the windows, watching the waves, hearing the various sounds they make as they hit the shore. I like that the beach is right there, yet you feel tucked away and private. It is so convenient to get to the town, you don't need the car at all.

Exquisite Weekend

Our weekend at the house was everything we expected - no hidden surprises, nothing missing - just perfect! The home was as warm and cozy as the pictures and website represent. Making dinner every evening just after sunset was amazing, (that's cause you're on the beach when it's setting). Morning walks on the beach is the only way to start the day here - it sets that relaxed pace. Everything is clean and tidy, easy walk to town and back with rented wetsuits and paddle board, sandwiches or groceries. The Owner is as friendly and helpful as I could have asked for, being this was my first time renting VRBO. I highly recommend Stinson on The Beach as a relaxing getaway, and am looking forward to returning again!!!

The house is very comfortable, and we loved being right on the beach. Thank you for the suggestion of buying groceries before getting to Stinson as the prices are steep. Also it was helpful to know there is no gas station there. i would like to know more about the towns around Stinson. The Cafe in town was wonderful.

We spent a late summer weekend there with my walker-using 90-year old mother and two dogs, and it was heaven! Both days my mom doffed one of the big floppy hats provided and went and lay out on the warm sand amongst with the beach sights and sounds, and was happy as a clam. The gas grill came in handy when we realized we'd bought the wrong type of charcoal. The beds were very comfortable. The hot outdoor shower was great. There were baggies, birthday candles, matches etc in the drawers in the kitchen. From the living room you could view the waves, frisbee players, dogs, surfers, etc. The beach itself has fine, clean sand and has a low slope, which makes it good for walking and running. The house is not especially well-insulated, but a powerful heater, doors and windows, and electric blankets more than compensated. One micro-quibble: larger coffee mugs would have been nice. Besides that, heaven on earth, and we plan to return.

This is my families' favorite vacation spot. We love being able to sit on the beach all day and into the evening. It is great to wake up when the beach is empty and watch as the throngs of people arrive and then at the end of the day to have an empty beach to enjoy. The amenities are comfortable ... nothing too fancy but the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make a simple dinner. There is wifi, a nice gas fireplace, laundry facilities and an outdoor shower with hot water. It is convenient to town for ice cream, groceries and there is a video store a block away to quiet the kids after a day of digging in the sand and boogie boarding.

Great Beach Vacation Location

Date of Stay: 07/15/11
Review Submitted: 08/01/11
Our family rented all three units and had a wonderful week on the beach. Karen's beach house was charming, and thoughtfully provided the amenities that made for fun in the water and out. We had all ages including an infant, and brought the family dogs. The location made it easy to walk the dogs on the beach, or swim within lifeguard watch, and also to walk to town to get extra groceries, etc. As the first house on the beach, lots of people are enjoying the beach in front of the house, including a volleyball net temporarily set up out front. But we enjoyed the people watching and didn't mind the spirit of active summer vacation around us. Our kids all hope we can do it again!

This lovely home was wonderful for my family. We enjoyed the view and the evening and early morning privacy. I was impressed at how well appointed it was and yet not overcluttered. Plenty of towels and lots of kitchen goodies. Lot's of parking and the best location in Stinson. The home was clean from top to bottom.

Our stay at beautiful Stinson Beach was perfect in this fabulous home - right on the beach. We have two-year old twins and they loved every minute of it. It was so easy to keep an eye on them - the entire property is gated. And when they wanted to go on the beach, we just walked outside the back gate. The home, especially the kitchen, was so well stocked with amenities. And the decor is so charming! We will be back next summer, invite the extended family, and rent out the additional two apartments above the main house. Can't wait!

Karen, Your beach front home is perfect for anytime of year. Your palce is wonderful and cozy, way behond the photos. Being from SF the weather has been unpredicatable to say the least during May 2011. We arrived June 3rd late afternoon to decent weather, unpacked, took a walk and started the BBQ. The storm Friday night was wicked,but the sound of the waves and nice fire set the mood to relax. By noon the skies had cleared to enjoy the beach and get our feet wet. The hot out-door shower was amazing to clean up. I'm a foodie by heart and the house is stocked with all you cooking needs. The one thing we forgot was coffee, but a Cafe up the street was open, and worth the morning wake. We also, rented La Paz which wonderful as well. We will be back.
