This cozy cottage was perfect for me and my husband. It was clean, quiet and very comfortable. It's a short walk to a market, restaurant, snackbar, and Stinson Beach. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This place was perfect! About 1 block from Stinson Beach, the Parkside and basically everything (a store, places to eat, hiking, etc). The Dipsea runs right in front of the cottage. It is clean, quiet, well stocked and the owner was wonderful.

Cosy and clean

The house was adorable, very cosy and airy and super convenient for walking to the beach and the local restaurants. The parking spot was a bit tight, I wouldn’t recommend a larger car try to park there. Would defray here again.

GEM!

A hidden gem located in the heart of Stinson. My family and I will be return to this amazing spot next visit to California. Being in town, my teens were free to roam at ease to eat, shop, surf and hike on their own. The perfect spot to accommodate everyone in your group!
