Charming Cottage in Downtown Bolinas

  • This sweet 'old school' Bolinas beach cottage is conveniently located just steps away from downtown, the beach and some of the best surfing in West Marin. After a day at the beach you can take a warm outdoor shower and grill some locally caught salmon in the sun filled back yard. Opportunities for a great vacation are endless here.

The living room has a sleeper sofa if separate beds are desired. For entertainment, there is a Smart TV loaded with your favorite apps, a DVD player with a selection of DVDs, board games, and a record player and record collection. The living room has a wood burning stove and the rest of the house has electric wall heaters . The kitchen is fully stocked, and the separate dining room seats 6. The sun room has a built in desk, and the back garden has a shower and tub, gas BBQ, outdoor seating, and fruit trees. Dogs OK but must be kept off furniture.

We stayed there last year and had the same fine experience this year. It's just the right ambulance. The only criticism as the refrigerator is kinda loud.

House cleaning

Hi!! Lovely experience. Only ding on cleanliness was when I went to pullout the sleeper chair, I pushed the chair back and found clumps of dust and a dirty sock from a prior renter. Otherwise clean and lovely. Only other comment: The lens on the camera on the listings photos made the rooms and the front sun room look much much larger.

Birthday week in Bolinas

I enjoyed my stay I had a couple of people stay for a night and a few came up for the day. I loved the proximity to the beach, the town and the backyard garden was a great place to eat and visit.

Quaint downtown cottage

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: What a sweet and cozy cottage! Perfect for me and the kids! Easy to get to and perfect location! Steps from downtown and steps from the beach. The sweet plumb tree was a nice little perk!
