The property was perfect for us with room for everyone. The kitchen is nicely appointed with plenty of good pans to make large family meals. The property management company was very helpful and even brought a couple extra items to us. And the location just can’t be beat because you are steps from the beach and a lovely little town with a great market, bakery, And snack bar. Great place and much appreciated. ##### Kellye T.

Reviewer Comments: Loved the great room, beautiful, light-filled space to hang out. Great porch and deck. Loved the rocking chairs! Ample space for large group. Nice decor. Well appointed kitchen. Great location near the beach. Did not appreciate being "watched" by the owner on the outdoor cameras. An extra key or key pad entry would be nice. A hot tub would be nice! ##### Jennifer M.

Reviewer Comments: Power went out for an evening/night and the property management company/owner didn't do much to make that situation right. From what I was told, Stinson Beach has a lot of power outages. This occurring is essentially a risk a renter has to take. Outside of that risk, the property was a good stay. ##### Karan G.

Reviewer Comments: A beautiful home just steps from the beach. Sunrise view from the towering kitchen window and back deck. Sunset views from the large deck on the 2nd floor. This place was perfect for our annual family get-together with our grown kids. Tables in the dining room and on the deck easily accommodated 8 adults. Well-equipped kitchen. Cozy gas fireplace. Comfortable beds. So many boogie boards and beach chairs! Quiet street. Outdoor shower -- with hot water makes rinsing off after the beach so simple and relaxing. Super easy walk to the grocery and surf equipment rental shops. Awesome management company that was very responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better place to hang and enjoy the the beauty of Stinson. ##### Caitlin M.

Reviewer Comments: Great house, great location, could use just a few things. Overall great house and amazing location in the Calle's. Could use a few things in the kitchen - seems like a refresh of glassware is needed. Pitcher or jug of sorts too. No cookie sheets?? Also, the master bed is unbelievably hard and uncomfortable - so much so when I was back over the hill I went to Target to get a mattress pad ($150) and brought one we had for one of the queen beds too. Seems like the mattress need to be replaced or beds made more comfortable. A huge bonus would be to add a hot tub! It would make the house incredible - just my two cents from someone who has a vacation rental and has rented dozens of homes around the world. ##### Zach A.

The huge dining room table was a plus, as we were able to host others for family dinners, and we all enjoyed the local market and bakery.

We had 7 adults and 3 toddlers (18 months). This house had plenty of space - amazing open concept kitchen/dining/living room with a nice balcony that the kids enjoyed running around. Master bedroom and bathroom was very spacious, rooms on first floor were fine as well although beds didnt seem very comfortable. Great bathrooms throughout. Location is a 3 minute walk down the block to the beach, which was amazing with little ones who tire out quickly. Additionally the house is within walking distance to the market, a few restaurants etc. Lots of hiking in the area! ##### Lauren B.
