Fabulous view of the Pacific

This spot is a perfect place to stay in Stinson Beach. So much to do in the area and walking on the beach for hours restored my health after a very long, cold winter in the northeast.

Awesome views of ocean and mountain

Beautifully landscaped yard, clean and modern beach house, spectacular views overlooking the beach down below and mountaintops above, short walk to the market, gift shops and restaurant. A quiet little beach town, with friendly people. Overall just a great place to relax and enjoy.
