About The Owner

Stinson on the Beach was our weekend and summer home as we were growing up in Marin County.

The Owner purchased this house in 1966
Why The Owner chose Stinson Beach

My parents bought the property in the mid 60's. I have been the owner for the last 20+ years.

We had been regular day visitors to Stinson Beach all along and when this opportunity came up to buy the house, my parents couldn't resist.

Several years ago it became a vacation rental and now other families and their friends can enjoy this special place and have their own pleasant memories of their stay at Stinson Beach.

What makes this house unique

The best part for me is just looking out the windows, watching the waves, hearing the various sounds they make as they hit the shore. I like that the beach is right there, yet you feel tucked away and private. It is so convenient to get to the town, you don't need the car at all.

Exquisite Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: November 12, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
Our weekend at the house was everything we expected - no hidden surprises, nothing missing - just perfect! The home was as warm and cozy as the pictures and website represent. Making dinner every evening just after sunset was amazing, (that's cause you're on the beach when it's setting). Morning walks on the beach is the only way to start the day here - it sets that relaxed pace. Everything is clean and tidy, easy walk to town and back with rented wetsuits and paddle board, sandwiches or groceries. The Owner is as friendly and helpful as I could have asked for, being this was my first time renting VRBO. I highly recommend Stinson on The Beach as a relaxing getaway, and am looking forward to returning again!!!

The house is very comfortable, and we loved being right on the beach. Thank you for the suggestion of buying groceries before getting to Stinson as the prices are steep. Also it was helpful to know there is no gas station there. i would like to know more about the towns around Stinson. The Cafe in town was wonderful.

We spent a late summer weekend there with my walker-using 90-year old mother and two dogs, and it was heaven! Both days my mom doffed one of the big floppy hats provided and went and lay out on the warm sand amongst with the beach sights and sounds, and was happy as a clam. The gas grill came in handy when we realized we'd bought the wrong type of charcoal. The beds were very comfortable. The hot outdoor shower was great. There were baggies, birthday candles, matches etc in the drawers in the kitchen. From the living room you could view the waves, frisbee players, dogs, surfers, etc. The beach itself has fine, clean sand and has a low slope, which makes it good for walking and running.

The house is not especially well-insulated, but a powerful heater, doors and windows, and electric blankets more than compensated.

One micro-quibble: larger coffee mugs would have been nice.

Besides that, heaven on earth, and we plan to return.
