Very Private, yet close to Village and Beach

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.

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!

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!.

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.

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.

Nice location
The location was great, short stroll to the beach and town as the listing says. The beach at the end of the street is the dogs allowed section and there were a lot of dogs, so we had to walk further south to avoid that mess. Listing says 6 bedrooms but some rooms are not private, they are a three-way to get to other rooms f the house, and they don’t have actual beds, just pull out sofas. Beds is all rooms were very firm mattresses. Kitchen, dining and living area is small, would not suggest having more than the 11 people we had Although it says sleeps 20. Can’t imagine that May people in the space. The patio was nice with a BBG and propane fire pit, but all the propane tanks were empty so we had to take the tank from the fire pit to use on the BBQ. Overall a bit disappointing for the amount of money we paid.

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.

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.

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.

Unbelievable! As a former 26-year resident of Stinson Beach, I was familiar with the town . . . but Not this house. It met all our needs - close to "downtown", the Park, the Beach! Roomy, lots of space inside and out! The one concern going in: the weather! It turned out to be sunny everyday - with low tides available for perfect running and exploration. I also can't thank the owner enough - for the attention to details and the flexibility (one dog added). It was definitely a Privilege to live on his property!

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!

Stinson Beach with friends
We greatly enjoyed staying in this house. Lots of room, 5 bathrooms (!), nice outdoor seating, and close to the beach. It had a very nice, spacious and fully equipped kitchen. I gave it 4 stars for description because we thought there were more actual bedrooms, perhaps with 2 beds in some. There were just 3 bedrooms with one large bed in each, but the rest of our group were quite comfortable in a day bed, a bed tucked in a balcony area, and one of several good sized sofa beds. There was also a loft with 2 beds (ladder), which we didn't use. Overall, a very spacious and comfortable house. We hope to come here again!

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.

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.

Happy 70th!
Everyone - every last one of us - loved our stay at Stinson Beach! Our ages ranged from my 7 month old grandson to my 70 year old twin Sister and me. Big cluster of young adults in their 30’s. We loved the beach proximity, the spaces to spread out and the great kitchen for cooking. We fished and hiked and exploresd a few small towns- the requests are already in to do it again next year!

Perfect spot in a perfect place
We stayed at Don's lovely home over LDW. Two families with 4 young kids (ages 5 to 2). Couldn't have asked for a better spot. House is clean, pleasant, well laid out, etc. with perfect touches (fireplace, loft upstairs for the kids, patios, heated upper deck). Hot tub worked great during the cool mornings and evenings. Just steps from the beach, so close we could just pop down for a few minutes. Well-stocked house in terms of gear (boogie boards, life jackets, etc.), kitchen items. Incredibly central; just 5 min walk into town. Didn't visit surf shop but almost directly next door so would have been great if we had surfers.

Big Family Perfection at the Beach
A stones throw from Stinson Beach, the “The Coop” is a perfect place for a large gathering or family reunion. The property is spacious, yet has an intimate feel, surrounded as it is by a lovely seacoast garden. Likewise, the interior of the house is roomy, light and full of warmth. Comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated, the interior is familial and inviting. The kitchen is well appointed and equipped to prepare meals for a large group. We had 19 people seated all together around two tables pushed together for our family reunion main event dinner. Cocktails and appetizer were on the spacious back terrace. The bedrooms are roomy and comfortable with one offering a cozy loft space with additional beds. Upstairs rooms are quiet even when there’s lively activity downstairs. Don Anderson is a welcoming and responsive host. The place was spotlessly clean when we arrived. A memorable event it was in good measure because of the setting. We look forward to gathering at the The Coop again before too long.
