Check-in process was a nightmare. First there are contradicting processes. In one place is says check-in is at 3pm, in another place it says 3:30. Whatever, no big deal we played it safe (so we though), arrived at 3:30 and that’s when the problems began. Doors locked, no key given. Reached out to host via chat, no reply. Called host via number provided, no answer, left voicemail, no reply. Called VRBO directly who attempted to also reach out the host. Once again, no answer, no reply. We are now close to 5pm (that’s right, 1.5 hours later) my wife and I said, screw it and decide just to head home. I was actually already walking away from the property when I noticed there was someone in the adjacent unit. Oh look, it is the host just going about her day. I got her attention by yelling out “ARE YOU THE HOST?” at which point she came out of her unit and handed us the keys. No apologies, no offers to make things right, nothing. Just gave us the key and went back in her home. It’s only saving grace is the location. I would have loved to be able to use this place for a future beach trip but I don’t think I want to deal with the uncertainty of actually being able to get into the property. I am not sure if the host just got home around 5pm because I only reason I looked into her unit was because the lights on when there were no lights on earlier. If I didn’t happen to look back at the property as I was walking away we would have had to make the multi-hour drive home.
Thank you Angela for a magical place to stay and enjoy the beach!
Wonderful location, kind, responsive host.
Dame Rubin made our stay special and memorable as always.....!!
First the good news: It is beach-front, with a million-dollar view from the eating table and the large deck overlooking the surf and private beach. The bad news: you have to walk across that private beach to get to the place, and you have to park the car about half a block away. It is small, with a tiny bathroom accessible only by entering the second bedroom. There is no washer or dryer -- you have to go to the laundromat in Bolinas.
We had a really good time and would love to come back.
Cozy beach cottage with 5 star views and one star amenities - no hand soap, dish soap, dishcloths, washcloths, beach towels, etc. I had to request toilet paper and soap from the property owner. Basically BYO everything if you plan to stay here as supplies in town are extremely expensive
Stinson Beach can’t be beat when the sun shines in late Spring. This funky little place is well appointed and right on the water. Perfect, we loved it.
This delightful oceanfront cottage is all you need for a tranquil and rejuvenating vacation. You wake and sleep with the sound of the waves from the bedroom nook (comfy double bed). A high table by the window is where you eat your meals or read a book if you don’t dine on the ample deck. The view from all these places is mesmerizing. There is a large sofa and chair in the main room for reading or watching TV. The house is on stilts in the sand and is just steps to the sea. There is a charming second room with two single beds. We stayed here during a windy few days and the location of this cottage was a life saver - it’s protected from the wind and has a private area of sand in the front where you can lie out or play beach games far from anyone else. It is a truly magical place and we have already booked our next stay. Thank you, Angela!
Property is right on the beach with 2 big windows facing the ocean. Stunning views. The unit is attached to owner's home but she was very quiet and helpful when necessary. The unit is quite old and worn but very clean. It's cold at night but the wood fireplace warms everything quite nicely and there are 2 electric heaters. You need your own wood. Ants invade if there is any food out so everything has to be in the fridge. The owner was very gracious and I enjoyed meeting her.
Delightful
We loved our time spent in Stinson. Right on the beach and so beautiful. Loved going to sleep with the sounds of the ocean!
Owner is polite, attentive and has the proper attention to detail to ensure our visit was the best !! Greg
I want to keep this place hidden so I can come back from time to time! But it’s so Amazing that I need to write a review. Angela the host is amazing and such a sweet lady. The house is perfect and was perfect for my family of 4. Stayed out on the beach all day and came in to cook dinner at night. Walked to town for ice cream most nights. The town is close and we walked everywhere for 7 days. The restaurant is pricy but great. We had the snack bar many times. Love the stores down town and the market has everything you need. This place is perfect and the beach is the best beach around. Sitting on the patio watching the waves was the best thing we needed. I would stay forever if I could! The seals would come by around 7, you can watch them from the house. Thank you Angela, for this perfect trip for my family! Hope to see you again! Becca
