About this property

Solar-Powered Dream Vacation Property

This inviting and comfortable home is in an ideal location for your Stinson experience. It is merely steps to the beach as well as the heart of the village. Park your car for the length of your stay and walk to everything you need: the surf, restaurants, boutiques and grocery.

The site is unusually large for the neighborhood, so enjoys a private setting and plenty of parking. The outdoor areas are set back from the neighbors and spacious enough for large family gatherings. The lot has frontage on two streets with electric charging stations on both and plenty of on- and off-street parking for guests.

The house was constructed in 2007 with an open plan and indoor/outdoor living concept. The house is nestled between a large garden and a restored riparian zone (creek) on the other side. In 2022 a second story was built that added more living and sleeping spaces as well as outdoor balcony and heated terrace and views to the ocean and the mountain.

The heart of the house is the well-equipped open kitchen. The features include; a vegetable sink with filtered water, all stainless appliances and easy open layout with plenty of work stations so your guest are free to pitch in. The connecting dining and living rooms open out onto both patio and deck for seamless outdoor living.

There are three private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom (#1) downstairs has a king-size bed, a double shower and adjoining home office with monitor and door to the deck. Bedroom (#2) downstairs has queen bed with private bathroom and Dutch door, opening to the creek side. The upstairs primary bedroom (#4) has king size bed, private bathroom, cathedral ceiling and views to the mountain.

There are three more sleeping arrangements that can be semi-private or private. The coop (bedroom # 3), is a super fun two-story space with French doors to the exterior, a twin, a trundle, and convertible full on first level. In addition, this space has a delightful lofted platform on the second level with a twin bed and views of the coast to the south. This room is an ideal bunkroom for early risers because it also has the interior stairs to the second level. The big room (bedroom #5) includes cathedral ceilings, view to ocean, two sofas with memory foam mattresses; an open lofted space with two queens; and en-suite bathroom. This airy space is also connected to the terrace with outdoor stairs connecting back to main living space. Lastly, the sofa in the living room downstairs folds out into a queen. This room has heavy velvet curtains for privacy from dining room and kitchen.

The original house was constructed with universal design standards: level-in access; bathroom sink, tub, shower and toilet all discretely designed for wheel chair access. More highlights include: radiant floor heat throughout, gas fire place, outdoor gas fire pit, nine exterior doors for easy access to the outside spaces, sky lights for light-filled house, laundry, outdoor spa and two outdoor showers.

The ideal location, private setting, and generous spaces of The Coop will help you create your next unforgettable Stinson experience.

Perfect for beach group!
We were a group of 14 friends and family on our annual beach trip. Don's house had beds for everyone (unique find on the beach)! Everything we needed for our group seafood dinner was already in the house. The indoor "living/family" area is small for such a large house, but we were able to spill out and enjoy the very generous outdoor living area. It was clean, well-stocked, ample parking, and Don's communication was always prompt. The location can't be beat - morning coffee walk on the beach, afternoon nap on the beach, stroll to watch the sunset from the beach - back and forth all day long! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay - Just as Described and Pictured
Everything about this stay was wonderful. The location can’t be beat. The house itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean, and very welcoming and comfortable. I stayed here with 9 friends for a few days and then family, including little ones, arrived for a couple days. The house worked well for adults and children. The host was easy to work with; good communication.

Great House,
Great house and excellent location. There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed the stay. The house is very comfortable, plenty of beds for the group and the kitchen was well stocked. Something you don't often see in rented properties. Don, the owner, was very easy to contact and responsive to our questions and comments. We would do it again!.

Perfection at the Beach
We love this home! This was our second time renting here this year! The space is amazing- the bedrooms with ensuites, and the little bedroom downstairs were perfect for our family. Everyone had space and comfort. The indoor living space and kitchen worked very well for cooking, socializing and relaxing. The outdoor space was gorgeous-garden, fire area, small balcony and large balcony, BBQ grill, and hot tub were all wonderful. Lastly, the location is perfect too! A quick walk down the Calle to the beach, or a quick walk to the library, market, or restaurants, all a 5-7 minute walk via the beach or road. Everyone felt very much at home. Thank you Don for a great stay!

Family Celebration
Great location … close to the beach and to town. Plenty of beds and sleeper sofas. Really comfy gathering space for old and young. Clean finishes and easy to keep neat. Outdoor showers were great. We were there with our four daughters and their husbands along with 7 grands (8-18) and 2 small dogs. We all loved it!!!! Thank you!

Perfect, spacious beach house
This is an enormous place; unfortunately we couldn’t get a big group together this time. Short walk to the beach or shopping. Super quiet. Works well even in cold weather with a hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and gas fireplace indoors. Friendly and helpful owner.

The perfect house
This house was great for our family and dog. Just steps from the beach, a short walk to town and everything you need to relax and have a great vacation. I love a rental that doesn’t feel like a rental. Comfortable beds, quality linens, and everything you need to feel at home. We all had a great time!

Beautiful home close to beach and town
The house is wonderful and giant. This house is on one of the private roads that ends in the beach and is perfect for easy visits with small kids to the beach. It is also close enough to town for adults to walk easily and kids to go via the beach without having to move cars. There are many different areas to spend time as a group or have privacy. The house was super clean and exactly as described!

Family Reunion
First family reunion in several decades and this property was perfect! It held 15+ comfortably, large kitchen and dining room for hosting family meals every day and we made great use of the hot tub and outside patio for evening gatherings. Excellent location to beach and an easy stroll into town for shopping. Lots of parking spaces so no need to shuffle vehicles needing to come/go. Our VRBO host, Don, was responsive to all our questions. We had the time of our lives and we could not have asked for a better place to reunite a multi-generational family from across the country.

A perfect spot for a big family gathering
We had an 80th birthday celebration with 4 generations in Don's home. He was the best landlord--attentive, responsive and available. The kitchen is well stocked and there are multiple types of sleeping areas in addition to the bedrooms. The washer and dryer were handy, though we brought our own laundry soap. The solar power and floor heating is impressive, the hot tub well cared for and the BBQ's well maintained. The kitchen cabinets are rather worn and there is a loud droning noise that started each evening from about 10PM to 11:30, not sure if that was the Tesla batteries recharging or what. Overall it was a fabulous house to have, walking distance to the waves, Parkside restaurant and town. thank you Don!

Beautiful Beach House
We had a family week at the beach and typically stay in Seadrift. However, this is now going to be out "go to" beach house. The house was fantastic with plenty of room for all 14 of us. The kitchen - living room was so much fun for movie nights and the big dinner table was inviting for gatherings. The beach was quite a stretch, a full 30 second from the house:) It was so perfect, we didn't want to go home. We are so thankful to have been able to stay there and can't wait until next year.

Dynamite beach spot
The Coop was an incredible stay! It is spacious, clean, and full of amenities. Location couldn’t be better—it’s a one-minute walk to the beach. You can also walk to the shops and restaurants in 5 minutes. It was in a quiet neighborhood. We particularly enjoyed the sound system in the communal areas and outside; the variety of seating inside and outside; the updated bathrooms and kitchen; and the event-friendliness of the rental. We hosted 30 people for an afternoon event, and it was perfect. Don was a great host. He always responded immediately to our texts. Overall, it was amazing! We highly recommend staying here!!

Couldn't be more perfect!
We had an incredible stay here. The house is beautiful and comfortable, with room for 19 friends and family members to gather for a big birthday celebration (plus another 10 joining us for the evening). Plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to be together as a group, and lots of nooks for people to get time away from the group if they want to. I would stay here again any time, even if it wasn't three houses from the beach ... but that makes it all the more special. We loved hearing the ocean as we sat around the fire pit and walking down to the beach for sunrise and sunset. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, and you won't find a more easygoing, responsive host than Don.

Property was wonderful! Lots of space for multiple families. Great open concept kitchen, dining, and living space. Wonderful outdoor spaces too! Easy walk to beach and downtown. Would stay here again. There were a few changes to the house from vrbo description, as the owner made updates to the home. I let him know and he updates the vrbo description right away. Great communication with owner.

Exceptional Near-Beach Experience!
We cannot believe how lucky we were to have discovered this property. Our group consisted of three adult couples who needed to be in Stinson Beach for a few days. This house and property are fantastic, and was perfect for our group and needs. The layout of the house is just perfectly setup for both convivial gatherings and privacy when needed. There is plenty of room for everyone -- the property description is completely accurate. Location is sublime, you will be standing on the beach with about a 45 second walk. If you need it, the Stinson Market is about a three minute walk down the road. We all have agreed: we would go back to this property again in the future if we can be so lucky.

Outstanding House!
It is rare to see so much thought and design go into a vacation home. The pictures speak for themselves. The host was very welcoming. The heated concrete floors and house battery backup (in case power gets lost which can happen in any coastal area) is the icing on the cake. Big house and outdoor area. Would highly recommend.
