Wonderful Vacation Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really like this place. The best thing about this rental property is the sweeping view of Bolinas Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It has a nice deck, with two comfortable padded lounge chairs and a small coffee table, in addition to a separate outdoor dining table. It's a short drive or walk to the beach. It's close to restaurants and food market. The cottage is several flights of stairs from the street. Carrying the luggage up and down the flights of stairs was quite a workout for me.

Great location, some problems, though.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space is nice, but parking was very difficult. The stairs leading to the space are long, and if you have heavy luggage it is a hassle. There were a few amenities missing, but on the whole it was well outfitted. There is a very nice deck to enjoy the limited water views, but the best part was the location. Easily walk to shops, restaurants, the ocean, and wedding venues. Barely had to use the car, which was good because getting in and out of the parking space is a pain.

Challenge with property

There was no dedicated place to park. Had to fend for ourselves with street parking and had to walk 1/2 mile to get back to the property. Was not well communicated about parking scenario. Also there is no safety railing to walk down the path to the property and back up. Can lose balance especially if you are hauling a suitcase. Found out that property owners around the property are fighting over a newly built parking area that is under construction. All in all if we had known about the above challenges would not have stayed there and definitely do not recommend to anyone else until they have parking and safety walking railings resolved and completed.

Street parking is very common in Stinson Beach, and is mentioned in the listing. We're sorry that your SUV was so large that you had to park it further uphill where the road widens. New stairs and railings are now in place!

A Hillside Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are very thankful to Highway One Properties for making this place available to us on such short notice. The place was clean and well-stocked, and had a large deck affording a great view of the ocean and the town of Stinson. It was quick walk from there to Stinson Beach and the lagoon.

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and a great location. Close to restaurants and the beach. The check in process was a little unclear, but maybe that’s because I didn’t download the app. The fireplace didn’t work, but the property management were responsive when I called. I left something in the closet and they were kind enough to run over to the property and make sure they set it aside for us. I would stay again! Thanks!

Love this little place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great little unit. We came for the Dipsea Race and found it clean and close to town. The parking is obnoxious - if we had a medium or large car, we would not have fit in. Perhaps painted slots on the street would help. It could use a bedroom and kitchen clock, a dishwasher, some storage containers for food and a little better cell reception.
