Ocean Front / Beach Front Castle House at Stinson Beach
Enjoy FULL views of the sunrise and sunset from the dining room, living room and large deck. Step down from the deck to the beach for a leisurely walk or build your own sand castle at the foot of the 'Castle House.' Relax or BBQ at the large deck. Walk to the Stinson Village shops and restaurants and never get into your car until it is time to go home!
The Castle House has two bedrooms (with queen-size beds) and two recently remodeled baths. The bedrooms have views of the beach and the ocean and are located at the front and rear of the house. They have wall to wall new carpets. There is a fully equipped and recently remodeled kitchen, a large deck and a large covered porch with outdoor furniture. It is a comfortable, well kept and very nicely furnished home. The living room has a turret (as in a castle!) with a circular sofa and embraces the complete view of the beach and ocean, from the north end of Stinson-Bolinas to the southern tip. There is parking for two cars. In the Summer time we rent full weeks with shorter stays in between full week rentals. During holidays (including school holidays) we rent 3 to 4 days min, depending on the holiday with shorter stays based on approval and availability. Keywords: House

This house is literally right on the beach and is an easy walk to downtown Stinson Beach. The house is well stocked for cooking meals and was very comfortable for our group.
For years I have seen this amazing property as I walked along Stinson beach - and finally, with my daughter and grandchildren I spent two wonderful wild days there! (Wild refers to the weather- not my family!) the sea was tumultuous and beautiful and but we felt so cosy in the Castle! It is beautifully equipped and Elida our host was perfectly lovely and answered any questions quickly and cheerfully ! It was a wonderful stay!
We love the castle house, this was our 2nd stay here, we will be back in November and again next summer. The best location ever, fully equipped. Super clean always. We never want to leave. Thank you Elida!
The castle house is a great place to relax. It is a magical house. Everything you need right there. I will never get enough. The host is awesome and very accommodating couldn't ask for anything better.
The location is ideal, and the quality of the interior lives up to the distinctive exterior, with roomy living space and tasteful furnishings. The only complaint we had is that there is only one openable window, and it is small.
We are a family of 5 that came to Stinson Beach for a few days of relaxation. The house was amazing! The communication between the property manager was super. We had some questions and she would reply in a timely manner. She was very accommodating to all of our needs. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful time in Stinson Beach!
We had a very enjoyable stay. Elida was very accommodating, especially after my daughter became ill and we needed to change dates. The property is located right on the sand with a big deck and plenty of seating and the kitchen is well equipped. Beds were comfortable and there's a nice dining and living area with windows out to the water. It's great to sleep to sound of the waves. Only negative is the 10 am check-out, especially for the price. We understand the need to have cleaners come in to prep for next stay but think there's plenty of time with a 11 am or 12 pm checkout - so we can have breakfast and enjoy the morning before packing to go. But overall, this is a great property and we'd happily return!
Thank you Elida for a wonderful beach experience. Perfect for the four of us. Well maintained kitchen, rooms at opposite ends, living room and dining room all looking at the waves. Very special place - we are looking forward to another trip here next year💕
Fabulously located on the beach with expansive views from South to North. Easy parking and access to the house. Cozy and elegant. Unparalleled. We can’t wait to book it again!

A Comfy House in a Royal Location
We loved our mini-vacation close to home in this nice home. It is well furnished and easy to warm up at night with a pellet stove. The only problems were an erratic electric stove (maybe because we are used to gas) and it really needs some decent outdoor furniture instead of the broken down plastic pieces there presently. We have visited Stinson Beach every year for twenty years and staying at the castle was a dream of my kids. We especially loved the reading nook in the turret!
My family and I spent the week of Thanksgiving in the castle house. We loved being able to step out of the front door and onto the sand. The house is well-maintained and comfortable, and the remodeled bathrooms and kitchen are very nice. I must say of all the many vacation homes we have rented, this was by far the most well stocked kitchen. I was impressed. Being able to walk one block up the highway to the market or the bookstore or to have an ice cream cone was great. Elida quickly brought a new coffee pot when ours stopped working. She also helped us solve our parking issue which I greatly appreciated. It was the perfect house for our family vacation. Thank you Elida for making it feel like home.
Outstanding views, you’re literally on the beach. The Castle house is very cold in the winter. The electrical outlets in the living room spark when you plug in the floor heaters (two of which did not work). The home did not feel “inviting”. The Castle was very dated and not partially functional for this trip.
