Great location with beautiful views, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, lots of light and ocean breezes. We loved our time at this comfortable home in Stinson. Thank you!
A lovely beachhouse, just up the hillside from the beach. Well maintained and equipped. Great kitchen made it a joy to cook a few meals together. We could whale watch and cook at the same time. Well arranged generous sized bedrooms. The two outside terrace areas are really nice for morning and afternoon sun. But take a couple of the deck chairs provided and sit on the beach - it’s glorious.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house in Stinson Beach. Great location up the hill from the beach and the Parkside restaurant and bakery (great bakery, you must get their bread, some of which is thankfully included in the welcome pack upon arrival!) Also just above the market so all of our needs in that department were easily covered within close walking distance. The house is beautifully decorated and is very bright and cozy with stunning views of the coast. The trailheads of the Dipsea and Matt Davis trails are also within walking distance, a real bonus. We hiked the Dipsea ( highly recommended) and returned to enjoy the hot tub that evening, a relief for our sore muscles. The whole place is wonderfully outfitted with everything anyone would need for their stay at this beautiful location. One thing to be aware of is the limited drying capability of the dual wash/dryer unit. You can wash a small/ normal load but you MUST pull out at least half of what you washed and then run the dryer. So that process is a bit time consuming. Maybe save that for a down or rainy day.
Overall a fantastic property and we would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this beautiful house for 10 days and loved every minute of it! You can't beat the location as it has great views and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house is nicely laid out, well appointed and very clean. The management company was great to deal with (as usual). We highly recommend this house!

We had a very relaxing and rejuvenating week in the house and would definitely stay here again. We could hear and see the waves, walk easily to the market, beach and town and access lots of trail heads by foot. Even walked to Muir Woods one day. Pictures are very accurate.
Amazing views. Comfortable sleeping. Incredibly stocked. Parking is tricky on the street. Stairs to home are challenging. Groceries, restaurant and beach easy walking distance.
We stay at least twice if not three or four times a year. It is home away from home. Just love it here.

I look forward to staying here every chance I get and try to stay at least two to three times a year. The house is perfect size, perfectly located, situated between hte beach and many trailheads to Mt Tam. Cycling, hiking, walking on the beach, reading, and taking naps - the agenda! Feeling super blessed to have this home away from home in Stinson Beach. Thank you!
View from the deck is fantastic - loved spending evenings watching ships coming in, going out, passing by. House had everything we needed, and short walk to the beach. Great experience - would definitely stay here again.
Lovely hillside property with many nice touches and features, perfect for whale watching (thank you for the use of binoculars), distinctive yellow house, easily spotted from the beach or the drive into town from the south. we kept the ants under control, enjoyed games and puzzles, hot tub, outdoor deck chairs and table, cooking on the grill… the 3 min walking proximity to the market was a great convenience. Was hoping to watch NBA playoffs but there wasn’t TNT or ESPN on the house cableTV setup, still managed with our own laptop. Kitchen is well equipped, although psticks

My family and I spent the holiday in Stinson Beach and had the most perfect time at 136 Buena Vista. It's in an ideal location, walking distance from the town and the beach. We spent a lot of our mornings in the sun drenched living room with panoramic views of the ocean. At night we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which was so well equipped and really enjoyable to cook in. We'd have the fire going and end our evenings in the hot tub. The house was well maintained and very clean. It was hard for us leave and look forward to our next stay. Also, I can't say enough great things about the Highway One Property team. They are so helpful and have great recommendations for anything you need.
One of the best stays in a rental I have experienced! Clean and great attention to all the small details that make vacationing easy….from games, and cozy blankets to olive oil waiting in the well-appointed kitchen so you can immediately enjoy the welcome loaf of fresh bread from Parkside. The location is perfect for easy beach access and walking around town, and great overall location to enjoy nearby hiking trails and exploration. Easy drive to San Fran and wine country, but the views of the beach and sound of waves crashing make it hard to leave the deck at all! We would definitely enjoy a return stay at this location.
The property was well maintained, comfortable furnishings inside and out. The kitchen was very well equipped. Stinson Beach was a great location to stage day trips from for this East Coast family. Only drawback with the house… there is no dryer. The house has a washer, however, impossible to dry cloths in the rainy, foggy season.

We absolutely loved our stay at 136 Buena Vista. The house seems modest in the pictures - don't be fooled. It's a perfect home. It is perfectly located in the center of Stinson Beach village - close enough to walk to anything but tucked away so you don't feel in the center of it all. The house had EVERYTHING we needed. A kitchen with everything, comfortable bedding, great towels...and views for days. We felt at home here within minutes of arriving.
