I was so comfortable and felt right at home. The dresser for my clothes to the convenience of location all added relazation to this vacation. Those gardens, firepits and grills really added to my experience as well. Thank you for a smooth vacation rental and stay. I LOVED the bed:)

Idyllic Getaway

I loved the cottage! It was clean and fresh and tastefully decorated. The grounds around the complex are beautifully maintained. I loved the proximity to town and the beach. I was lucky enough to spend a few days at Stinson with perfect weather! One of my favorite places to be!

Small Scale Luxury Beach Town Vibes

What a hidden gem in Stinson Beach! It was a relaxing, intimate and well appointed apartment steps from beach, great coffee and pastries, cute small town and more. Clean, well appointed and cozy one bedroom, full kitchen and tastefully decorated. Great experience.

Beautiful bungalow

This well appointed bungalow tucked into a small cluster of similar apartments was the perfect retreat by the beach. Close walking distance to Parkside and the beach, it’s a fabulous location with attentive owner. It’s not far from the main road so at times the street noise was disruptive and the upstairs neighbors could be heard but otherwise it was serene.

Great place walking distance to the beach and restaurants

Great place for a long weekend. Walking distance to the beach and a great starting point when you want to spend a full day in Point Reyes national park. Highly recommend going to the Elk reserve in the North at the end of the day during rutting season. Check in instruction was a bit confusing as there are other "blue doors" on the parking lot. Instead, after parking, walk back towards the entrance and take the pathway left of the entrance. You will see the cabins along the pathway.

Gem of a spot

Loved our stay at the beautiful Verde property! Space is beautiful and just as pictured, if not better. Very comfortable and had all of the basic things you would need for a stay. Location couldn't be better - so close to food spots, beach, trails, etc. It was just right for my husband and I. There was a little confusion when we checked in - they are in between management applications - but the owners were SO nice and helpful that it really wasn't an issue. Communication was a bit delayed, I think because of their change in management apps? But all good. Only real negative was that we were on a ground floor and the unit above us had super loud walking people who were up late and early. Perhaps a note to let that unit know they should walk softly? I don't know how you fix that. :) Otherwise, a total gem. We definitely will be back!
