About this property

Ocean Front / Beach Front Castle House at Stinson Beach

Enjoy FULL views of the sunrise and sunset from the dining room, living room and large deck. Step down from the deck to the beach for a leisurely walk or build your own sand castle at the foot of the 'Castle House.' Relax or BBQ at the large deck. Walk to the Stinson Village shops and restaurants and never get into your car until it is time to go home!

The Castle House has two bedrooms (with queen-size beds) and two recently remodeled baths. The bedrooms have views of the beach and the ocean and are located at the front and rear of the house. They have wall to wall new carpets. There is a fully equipped and recently remodeled kitchen, a large deck and a large covered porch with outdoor furniture. It is a comfortable, well kept and very nicely furnished home. The living room has a turret (as in a castle!) with a circular sofa and embraces the complete view of the beach and ocean, from the north end of Stinson-Bolinas to the southern tip. There is parking for two cars.
In the Summer time we rent full weeks with shorter stays in between full week rentals. During holidays (including school holidays) we rent 3 to 4 days min, depending on the holiday with shorter stays based on approval and availability.

What a great place/location to stay. Lots of views, walking, hiking, close to evrything. I you want to drive off either north or south you can't go wrong. The local market is well stocked with everything you could want, great quality and the couple restaurants were bustling. Nice little park nearby . People are friendly, dogs too and the vibe in the house and surroundings awesome We'll come back for sure!

The Castlehouse is very special to me, so peaceful and relaxing. I’ve rented several times and will make it my vacation spot for as long as I can. Elida is the best host, she provides everything you need. Any questions just give her a shout she will take care of it! I look forward to going back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castle House. Only negative was that the windows do not open to allow fresh air in. The kitchen was well stocked for the 2 of us and the location was perfect for us and our dog.
Relaxing in the warmth of my favorite throw at sunset!

The castle house is very magical if you want a great house right on the beach, it has everything you need. Step out on the sand or just observe from the beautiful covered deck. Great beds, sleep to the sound of the waves. Elida is the most excellent host. I’ll be back as often as it is possible.

Great property right on the beach - plenty of people and dog watching during the day, solitude early morning and evening. Lots of fun for the grandparents, parents and toddler. The place is well equipped for a several day stay and quite charming as well. Easy walk to the tiny town for provisions.

Other than windows not opening and no screens on the doors, which can make it stuffy and stagnant inside, its absolutely wonderful. I feel blessed to have been able to experience The Castle House.

A fantastic beach front castle that had everything we were hoping for. Comfortable, clean, and nothing between you and the waves other than sand. We were celebrating a birthday and I wanted a place that would be easy for my dad to get around now that he uses a walker, this place was perfect for that. Because of the deck, he was also able to feel like he was on the beach without having to traverse the sand. We hope to be back soon! Highly recommend.

Beautiful property on the beach with lots of windows. We really enjoyed looking out to the beach and watching the waves during the cold parts of the day and sitting on the steps with toes in the sand during the sunshine. Kids loved playing with the provided sand toys. Really enjoyable experience and very responsive owner.

Second Stay at the White Castle

We enjoyed our recent stay even more than the last one. Beautiful weather and fewer beach goers. If you love dogs this house is perfectly situated - dogs are allowed off leash, so many different breeds. The house is roomy enough for the four of us plus toddler, it’s very clean and comfortably furnished. We greatly appreciated the call from the homeowner advising us of the tsunami warning. We’ll be back!
