About this property

Captain John's Hideaway

Summary:

Listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach while enjoying a drink on you own private deck. Watch seals and dolphins play in the waves from your bed. This private hideaway has been in one family for the last 90 years and is now available to public. Brought to you by the same people that lovingly restored the Willow Camp Estate and R house Beach Villa. Romantic, private and just a short walk to the water.



The Space:

The Main house is a small and cozy with amazing view and decks all around. A old fashioned Murphy bed adds to the charm. The 2nd bedroom is detached and has unobstructed views of the ocean.



Guest Access:

Private gated entrance. Private gate and path to the beach.



The Neighborhood:

Situated on the most exclusive part of Stinson Beach, the Bluff offers views and privacy. Just a short walk out the back gate to the beach or town.
