About this property

Newly Renovated Oceanfront Retreat in Bolinas with Spa and huge fenced yard

Spectacular oceanfront home with unparalleled and panoramic views from San Francisco, to Stinson, to Duxbury reef. Designed by famous Bay Area Architect Edward B Page in the early 1960's. It is a beautiful example of of mid-century modern architecture and I believe the only home he designed in Bolinas. The house is sited on an expansive almost 2 acre oceanfront parcel with very large, fenced in, level yards and only a short walk to the beach and the town of Bolinas! This 3 bedroom (plus office/den), 2.5 bath house is perfect for families or couples looking for the ultimate in relaxation and privacy. Enjoy beaching (Bolinas or Stinson), surfing, magical hikes on the Palomarin trails, tide-pooling at agate beach....... or drive less than an hour into downtown San Francisco or central Napa Valley. Bolinas is a jewel....

The main floor is tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture, it is open concept, the family room, dining room, and kitchen all have huge windows overlooking the waves and views. The master bedroom has a king bed and overlooks the pacific with an ensuite bath, there are 2 other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and ensuite half bath, the other bedroom has a queen bed and an ensuite bath. All bedrooms have flat screen tv’s. Downstairs is a great game room with pool table, office with queen bed and den/tv room with a day bed...patio doors open to a huge level oceanfront yard!

Soak in the large hotsprings spa, and enjoy views of the surfers and the sounds of crashing waves below, relax by the oceanfront firepit at night or enjoy the expansive fenced in level yards... Picture yourself on our fabulous sectional sofas with wall of glass to the deck, enjoying the fire... while gazing out over the pacific...you will never want to leave this special place.

Magical house.

I fell in love with Bolinas during my stay in this vibey, peaceful house. My only complaint is that I was there in winter and the house was quite chilly. Had to keep a fire going the whole time or I froze. Everything else was perfect.

The Most Epic View On The Planet

First, about the rating. We stayed during an epic storm that tested the house's coziness factor. A more accurate rating would have been: during gale force winds and snow, the property deserves a 3. On a normal day, a 4.5. The property management team was A+. I messed up the arrival date: SOLVED. A couple of other minor and major issues: SOLVED. IMMEDIATELY. Very happy with their response. The house itself was fairly typical for an older beach house. It was perfect for what it is, but if you want modern, this may not be for you. Two things some people might have issues with: •The house is very much slanted. You walk uphill from one side to another. It’s not horrible, but watch out when opening drawers in the kitchen. Management has said they’ll be leveling the floors. •It is a narrow and steep staircase to enter. Older folks may have an issue with heavy/bulky bags. But the view. THE VIEWS!! Seriously. You may enjoy different views in a lot of places, but you’ll never find anything more breathtaking. Wow!!!! Epic. Kitchen has a great collection of pots and pans. Not quite a gourmet kitchen, but quite well stocked and up there with any rental. Pantry items were not awesome and could have used a re-fresh. Big fridge and freezer. Plenty of bowls/plates/glasses/knives (sharp!) and silverware. Fireplace is on point and easy to use. Hot Tub is clean, gets hot quickly and was the best place to chill and watch whales. The bathtub outside seems more fitted for a cool bath, not a hot soak. It took 2 hours to fill. Overall the property was really nice.

A NIGHTMARE

From the outset, this property was a major disappointment and never got better. There are several problems that need attention, which were not disclosed in the pictures or written description on the property website. For instance: 1. It appears that the pictures on the website are many years old and do not show the house in its current condition, with worn and outdated furniture, poor lighting, heating, and bathrooms. 2. There is no mention of a long, narrow, dark staircase (with uneven, inconsistent risers, which are likely against building codes) from the front door to the main level, which requires the guests to carry everything up to the living area. 3. Unlike other rental properties, there is no informative book on the premises describing its amenities, such as how to operate appliances, how to take the hot tub cover off (which we were unable to do), emergency numbers, etc. 4. Several of the living room, kitchen, and bedroom windows would not close completely, which created cold drafts throughout the house through the entire stay. The windows allowed rain to pour in onto the sills, electrical outlets, and heaters below the windows. 5. We immediately contacted the owner/agent about the window problems and rain coming into the house,y at the latest, but no one arrived. 6. The power went out on the first full day of our stay. We had no hot water, no lights, no heat, and no use of any appliance. We had to forego the fireplace for heat because the drafts were so strong sparks came flying out of it. With only flashlights for light and no assistance from the owner, we spent the entire stay wrapped in jackets and blankets. 7. The flue on the very old fireplace kept closing on its own and would not stay open. 8. Because the house was uninhabitable due to the lack of power, we left early and requested reimbursement of the unconscionable, hefty price we had paid for this supposed luxury home. The owner has refused to honor this contractual obligation. Despite others' positive reviews about the house, the house is truly over-priced for the total lack of service and comfort the renter receives.

Perfect VRBO

This is the best rental we've ever had. The house has stunning views, is well appointed and the location is walkable to town, but feels completely remote! I highly recommend this property if it's available! The fireplace inside was so nice to have and you just can't get over the sounds and views of the ocean. What a treat.

The View

When you enter the home, and walk up the flight of stairs, you will be welcomed by one of the Best Views in Bolinas! Stunning. We had Clear skies, comfortable beds, and a warm working hot tub, which helped us all to quickly relax, and enjoy our long weekend. The weather in November delivered, as well as the service from the host, as we were provided great communication and easy access to the property. The home is supplied with ample amenities, including but not limited to, plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. This uniquely architected cliff side beach house will be appreciated by adults. The fireplace warmed the house and the outdoor bathtub warmed our souls. If you enjoy cooking, you will appreciate the well stocked kitchen and enjoy a sunset view while doing the dishes after. Plenty of private outdoor spaces around the property to break away, have a good one on one talk, or just kick back and read a book. There is a plenty of parking spaces at the top of the driveway, and we preferred leaving the cars there and walking to the beach (public access stairs are just a few yards down the street.) After your beach time, I recommend stopping at the Museum, meet Keith Hansen, and discover the local bird scene. Across the street you will find Smiley's Saloon, where the drinks are cold and the food is better than expected. Enjoy. ☮️❤️

Excellent Bolinas property

From the views to the various amenities on the property (hot tub, fire pit, etc.), our stay was fantastic. The house is described accurately - perfect for two families - and the property manager was incredibly responsive (and knew the property well). We had a fantastic long weekend and would definitely return!

Wish we could spend the whole summer

The views (despite the fog!), the deck, the hot tub, the inside common area and the beds were all amazing. House worked well for two families (cousins) though third bedroom best for younger kids if sleeping four. Bolinas is a cute, very laidback town with a well stocked market. Lots of hikes around and if you’re a surfer, seems the place to be! Hope to return to this magical place on the bluff.

Stunning panoramic views, comfortable, welcoming space

This home was so wonderful to stay in. The views are amazing, and it feels truly private and removed from the world. Everything we needed was available in the nearby towns and the house was fully stocked (firewood, kitchenware and appliances, blankets and towels). Beds were comfortable, the hot tub was cleaned right as we arrived and even though it was quite cold, the fireplace and heaters kept us toasty. The outdoor dining table was also tucked into a nook that blocked out any strong winds so we had no issues eating outside either. We’d definitely return!
