Overall, place is just as advertised. Had a small ant issue in the kitchen while I was there so important to keep everything sealed. Great location, super close to the beach.
Everything was great, but the ants caught us off guard. Just make sure you don’t leave any food out and you’ll love the space. The thirty second walk to the beach was the highlight of the space.
Very sweet cottage and a short walk along a sandy path to a beautiful beach. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay- you can slow down for a while here.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience staying at the little beach cottage. It is intended as a safe getaway from cares where it is easy to relax. The beach and sound of waves is good medicine. Please come visit again.
The property was clean and well put together. There were dishes for our use, coffee, filtered water ready to drink, bathroom supplies and extra blankets for guests to enjoy. There was one hiccup with our stay and the host was right on it and resolved the issue as quickly as possible. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
This was our second time staying at this sweet gem. It’s a lovely cottage just steps from the beach. It’s clean, cozy, and perfect for a couple or family with small kids. We’ll definitely stay again when it’s available.

Wonderful to read you’ve enjoyed your beach cottage stay twice now and will come back again. Thank you for taking time to leave such positive feedback!
I loved this little rental! It was perfectly located- just steps to an amazing beach, half mile walk along the road or beach to the cute little town, with an excellent restaurant for meals and coffee and pastries. The unit was very clean and comfortable inside and out, it had everything I needed in the kitchen, the bed was comfy and a nice outdoor space to sit. The property is in a great location for exploring the area. I will be back for sure!
Such a great place for a little getaway. I brought my dog belly and we had the best time. It’s quiet, cozy and walking was easy to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.
The Casita Azul was lovely and exactly as shown in the photos. Proximity to town and the beach could not have been better. My only complaint (as I told the host)-most of the windows were janky and would not stay open unless I propped something like a fan or a book under them. Bedroom crank window opened fine but would not fully close and lock. Shades were also very hard to operate also, some worked, others didn't, one had cord jammed in the window sill and I couldn't operate it at all...
This is a very cute , clean space a few steps from a gorgeous beach. Communication was fantastic and the outdoor gardens and place are beautiful. We just had a hard time with the comfort of the bed which may be just personal preference but it may be time to upgrade to a new supportive mattress. Otherwise a great spot!

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback and positive review. It is a pretty great location to the beach and away from wind. I agree beds are personal preference and I also prefer a firm bed. We just replaced some of our bedding and pillows and based upon your feedback we will be look into updating the mattress as well. It is a queen bed, which for some may seem small. Your feedback is valued and we ver much aspire positive ratings and good visitor feedback.
This was a small, cozy cottage with a lovely garden area. It was a short walk to the beach. It was lovely and adequately supplied. The warm floor heat worked well. The door lock was a little loose and there were some windows that didn’t work well. We enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed the easy stroll on the beach and had fun exploring the area.

Hi Jamie! It's nice to hear you had fun during your stay at our cottage. It's nice that you enjoyed the easy stroll to the beach and exploring our surrounding area. I'm looking forward to welcoming you again soon! - Kathleen
Great location! We were surprised there wasn’t an oven. Since we had our dog we planned on eating in. A couple of cheap wine glasses would be nice. Other than that everything was great, quite and comfortable
This was a clean and tidy place with a very short walk to the beach. We loved it. It was quiet and tastefully decorated. Stinson Beach has an amazing bakery and great choices for eating.
We had such a wonderful stay. Loved that we were able to bring our dog with us to celebrate my 30th birthday. Such a cozy spot located just steps to the ocean. Will definitely be coming back for another stay!

The community is surrounded by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and State parklands. Pristine land varies from mountainous to beach to wetlands to valleys. For the outdoor enthusiast this is a dream. This area is truly one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest.
