Photos and Description of the Point Reyes Station vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)

Welcome to our home in Point Reyes, a five-acre rectangular piece of land on the Mesa above Pt. Reyes Station. The house is located in the sunniest part of town where summer fog from the Pacific/Inverness usually burns off by mid-morning (at least during the warmer months). We have a remodeled deck at the back of the house which provides a great area for enjoying the sights, sounds and beauty of this special part of the world. It's also a great place to grill local foods on our easy-to-use and well-maintained gas grill.

Our house is a cozy and casual place. It's great for families and kids and is nice to come home to after a long day out hiking, beaching, or exploring the beautiful Pt. Reyes area. The main area of the house has an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living room. There is a wood-burning stove perfect for those chilly evenings. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first bedroom has a queen bed and ample closet space. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The third bedroom is a master suite with a queen bed, attached bath and ample closet space as well.

There is also a pull out couch in the living room which will sleep an additional 2 guests. Ideally the house sleeps six, but can accomodate 8. We also have a pack and play for infants and can provide a high chair if needed.

Nearby you will find the Point Reyes National Seashore with an amazing diversity of hikes, coastal ecosystems, and history. Choose to spend time in any one of several local towns each with their own personality and something great to offer.

Easily drive or walk to nearby Point Reyes Station (just under a mile) for breakfast treats at the Bovine Bakery, a trip to the local market (Palace Market), a yoga class (Yoga Toes), a visit to the Farmer's Market or a meal at Osteria Stellina, a local Italian restaurant recently named one of the SF Chronicle's Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants. There are a host of other delicious food and charming retail establishments. Other towns worth a visit include Inverness (Vladimir's), Nicascio (Rancho Nicascio), and Olema (Olema Inn).

About The Owner

The owners use and enjoy the house throughout the year and are hoping to share the joy of a Point Reyes getaway with friends and friends of friends so please pass the word.

The Owner purchased this house in 2004
Why The Owner chose Point Reyes Station

We have been going to Point Reyes on weekends since 1994 and think it is one of the most special and undiscovered (at least under-utilized) natural treasures in California, which places it right near the top of the most amazing places we have visited in the world (night time stars in the sky, beautiful forests, beach and coastal waters, berries, apples, birds, elk, coyotes, salmon (hopefully), cheese, hiking and biking on fire roads, a surprising amount of culture for a tiny little town, oysters, rancho nicascio, bovine bakery, western saloon, station house, cafe reyes, yoga, toby's, olema inn etc...).

What makes this house unique

our simple ranch style house is set on a rectangular parcel of land that is 5 acres in size and characterized by an open main field bounded on two sides by mesa road and two sides by neighbors separated by spruce and cypress trees, respectively. the perfect blend of openness with privacy, the Mesa area in Pt. Reyes is the sunny part of town so bring sun protection. nights are cool with incredible stars on clear nights. there are wild blackberry bushes on the property which fruit during the summer. the house is less than a mile walk from town - flat with one 2-3 minute uphill on the way home.

Great House in Great Location

5 of 5
Submitted: May 2, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
I have stayed in this home numerous times and can honestly say it is one of the best vacation rentals I have visited. The location is fantastic because it is an easy drive from the Bay Area, yet feels like you are so far from the hustle bustle of the city. The house is located on a huge meadow that is all a part of the yard so you feel like you are secluded and have lots of privacy. The deck opens right out onto the meadow so if you have kids or a dog it is heaven! It is far from the road so it is quiet and we always see quite a few deer roaming around in the meadow. It's an easy walk into the darling town and short drives to beautiful ocean beaches or Kayaking on Tomales Bay. Lots of fresh Oysters and good organic food abound, or you can utilize the great kitchen or BBQ on the deck. All in all the house has all the amenities I look for in a rental getaway, it's clean, comfortable and quiet. I highly recommend it.

Comfortable Company

4 of 5
Submitted: December 2, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
A relaxing setting was the perfect way to describe the house. Lucky for us, the weather was AMAZING so we took advantage of the patio, BBQ, and let the dogs run the property. It's great for dogs -- lots of room for them to explore and it's far away from the street. The kitchen and living room is nice and open which is great for cooking/serving/sharing food and drinks. The living room furniture was pretty basic, but we spent most of our time outside anyway. The only two things we would negatively comment on: (1) the master bedroom bath window in the shower is not obscured so the neighbors could see you showering and (2) the garbage cans are way too small to accommodate a party of 8 for 3 days. It's recommended to either limit your trash or be very diligent with sorting compost and recycling. But, all in all, our friends and family enjoyed themselves which is all that matters. Thanks for the experience!!

Great family rental

5 of 5
Submitted: November 10, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Perfect place for grandparents from the Midwest to meet and spend relaxed quality time with son, daughter-in-law, and 4-year-old grandson from Oregon. The property was as pictured in the photos - comfortable, cozy, quiet, clean and well-equipped. Toy box was a great plus. The rental agent was quite helpful and friendly. Comfortable beds, hot showers, sunshine, hikes, beaches, bakery, animals in the back yard...what's not to like?! Hope to make this a yearly tradition.

Well-appointed, lovely home with a pastoral view!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 23, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
This is hands-down the most well-appointed vacation rental I've stayed in: full kitchen, beautiful stove and refrigerator, some staples and even a beer cooler on the back porch. We spent our mornings on the back deck having coffee, our evenings on the sun deck enjoying the sunset, and half the day chasing the toddler around the enormous yard. It's not fancy, but it's just perfect for three generations to spend some time together and relax. We saw two deer, several moles, an osprey and countless other birds. Wonderful!
