Cute & Colourful Oceanside Cottage w Garden

Offering a true beachside experience highlighted by the delightful touches of the owner with a flair for the "joie de vivre", the cottage blends perfectly with the relaxing location, a few minutes walk to the Stinson Beach.

Conveniently situated at Calle de Occidente, this lovely 1BR cottage is designed for a comfortable stay with all the necessary amenities and an awesome outdoors area.
A bit of whimsy and lighthearted, with warm touches that reinforce a vacation beach getaway.

■ Quirky interior and wood accents give the property a delightful cottage feel, captivating a very relaxing vibe. The unpretentious and practical set up gives an extra charm to the place that can perfectly accommodate 3 people.

■ Living Room
Colourful variety compiled in an open plan living room/kitchen with a laid back dining island. Sofa bed and window facing the garden.

■ Kitchen
If you decide to roll up your sleeves and master some of the culinary options of the local flavours, the fully equipped kitchen is there with all the amenities and then some.
The adjoined area with the living room and easy access to the garden.

■ Bedroom
One bedroom with a queen-size bed match in simple style and comfort of this Stinson Beach cottage. Along with the regular commodities found in the room, the area has generous windows offering plenty of natural light.

■ Outdoors space
Highlighting the outdoors area with garden furniture, loungers, sun umbrella, BBQ and an outdoor shower as the reminders of the freedom of the beachside living.

This is a great location being a very short walk to the beach. It’s also walking distance to town. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook at ‘home’ and the bed was very comfortable. Check in and check out were very easy.I would recommend this as a nice getaway!

Amazing location and a wonderful cottage with a delightful yard. So grateful for such a dog friendly and beautiful spot to escape to, steps from the beach. We walked to the beach 5 times each day. Love that it’s located so close to the dog friendly part of Stinson.

Such a coincidence that we stayed at the casita named mouse hole ☺️

Clean cute cottage in a great location & excellent communication. It’s so special to find a small place at Stinson Beach that doesn’t require a full week. This weekend is my third time at this particular place so that says a lot

Overall, it was a great stay! The location is fantastic. A few small suggestions that could make it even better: adding outdoor lighting in the back for nighttime use, some umbrellas and maybe a table for outdoor dining, and more towels would be helpful. The Wi-Fi could be improved, and a few updated photos might better reflect the space. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful house with everything we needed. Small touches and attention to detail are evident throughout- plenty of outlets, hooks, and a teapot! Well equipped cookware. So nice to be able to be on beach. Felt like home but better…vacation! We ate at Parkside cafe and Breakers. Both excellent and super close. We plan to come back.

Cute cottage close to the beach

This cozy house has everything needed for a relaxing few nights at the beach. It is a 3 minute walk to the waves and an uncrowded beach. The funky town of Bolinas is a short scenic drive along the lagoon.

The Mouse Hole is such a inviting beach cottage for a getaway and the fenced backyard with outdoor seating was a bonus since we had our toy poodles with us. The ocean is just a few minute's walk away and this part of the beach is dog friendly.Last year, we stayed at Casita Azul, the smaller adjoining property, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at either one again. Thank-you, Kathleen and Colby!

Charming coastal cottage

This property is so cute, and the proximity to the beach is wonderful! We found everything we needed to cook meals, and the space heater warmed the cottage very quickly. It is small, but the backyard space made it feel larger. We enjoyed our stay!
