Loved this house! We rented the adjacent house for our daughter and her husband and it was perfect. We could open the fence between the two and share the outdoor space.
Amazing location and very well appointed place. Super responsive communication with host and couldn't be happier with the value. If you're looking for an amazing beach vacation, this place is perfect!
Super cute and cozy stay right by the beach and trails. We had a great trip. Initial booking was easy but when I tried to extent my trip by two days and saw the cabin was available online, I tried to contact the host 3 times. When they got back to my 4 days later the cabin had been booked. This was a little frustrating. Also the mattress was older with a foam topper which was not great for my back.
This our second time staying at Casita Azul. It's just the right size for the two of us and our toy poodle. We love that it has a good sized, private, fenced yard with outdoor seating, and a charcoal grill and fire pit if you choose to use them.The kitchen is equipped with a microwave and cook-top (no oven) which worked out fine for us for cooking with the food we brought with us. The bed was very comfortable with nice pillows. And the television was set up with a lot access to complementary streaming options to select from.The dog friendly part of Stinson Beach is walking distance, about 2 minutes away. At this time of the year, we had the beach practically to ourselves. And our car remained parked the entire time we were here.Colby, the property manager, has excellent instructions regarding the property and is easy to communicate with. We will definitely be returning!
We were looking for a cozy, relaxing cottage close to the beach and that's what we got. Spotless and cosy inside soft comfy bed and large shower. It was perfect. Sitting on a private street a few strides from the beach this cottage was fully prepared for guests. We had sunrise walks on the beach (with fresh coffee), walking to the village for dinner and back home via the beach at sunset. Enjoyed hiking Mt. Tamalpias and exploring the area. The location is so close to so much. And relaxing in a quiet comfy cottage afterwords was wonderful. We loved the yard with chairs and fire pit and dining area on the deck. The outdoor shower was so handy for washing sand off before going inside. We're planning our next trip, cant wait to go back.
Overall, place is just as advertised. Had a small ant issue in the kitchen while I was there so important to keep everything sealed. Great location, super close to the beach.
Very sweet cottage and a short walk along a sandy path to a beautiful beach. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay- you can slow down for a while here.

It’s a great little beach casita…what a wonderful weekend! Thanks
Everything was great, but the ants caught us off guard. Just make sure you don’t leave any food out and you’ll love the space. The thirty second walk to the beach was the highlight of the space.
The property was clean and well put together. There were dishes for our use, coffee, filtered water ready to drink, bathroom supplies and extra blankets for guests to enjoy. There was one hiccup with our stay and the host was right on it and resolved the issue as quickly as possible. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
This was our second time staying at this sweet gem. It’s a lovely cottage just steps from the beach. It’s clean, cozy, and perfect for a couple or family with small kids. We’ll definitely stay again when it’s available.

Wonderful to read you’ve enjoyed your beach cottage stay twice now and will come back again. Thank you for taking time to leave such positive feedback!
Such a great place for a little getaway. I brought my dog belly and we had the best time. It’s quiet, cozy and walking was easy to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.
I loved this little rental! It was perfectly located- just steps to an amazing beach, half mile walk along the road or beach to the cute little town, with an excellent restaurant for meals and coffee and pastries. The unit was very clean and comfortable inside and out, it had everything I needed in the kitchen, the bed was comfy and a nice outdoor space to sit. The property is in a great location for exploring the area. I will be back for sure!
Enjoyed the easy stroll on the beach and had fun exploring the area.

Hi Jamie! It's nice to hear you had fun during your stay at our cottage. It's nice that you enjoyed the easy stroll to the beach and exploring our surrounding area. I'm looking forward to welcoming you again soon! - Kathleen
This was a small, cozy cottage with a lovely garden area. It was a short walk to the beach. It was lovely and adequately supplied. The warm floor heat worked well. The door lock was a little loose and there were some windows that didn’t work well. We enjoyed our stay.
This is a very cute , clean space a few steps from a gorgeous beach. Communication was fantastic and the outdoor gardens and place are beautiful. We just had a hard time with the comfort of the bed which may be just personal preference but it may be time to upgrade to a new supportive mattress. Otherwise a great spot!

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback and positive review. It is a pretty great location to the beach and away from wind. I agree beds are personal preference and I also prefer a firm bed. We just replaced some of our bedding and pillows and based upon your feedback we will be look into updating the mattress as well. It is a queen bed, which for some may seem small. Your feedback is valued and we ver much aspire positive ratings and good visitor feedback.
This property is charming and well maintained. I felt safe and comfortable. Stinson Beach is very special. Next time I will return with family.

The community is surrounded by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and State parklands. Pristine land varies from mountainous to beach to wetlands to valleys. For the outdoor enthusiast this is a dream. This area is truly one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest.
