Casa Azul

The “Mouse Hole” was as advertised. Located near the beach, restaurants, and a grocery store, it's the perfect getaway! The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. It's also close to Bolinas and hiking trails. We will stay here again!

Great place and a great location

My wife and I (and our two dogs!) got away for three days and this cottage perfectly fit the bill. We were maybe one minute from the beach and it’s a quiet block. We were also about a one minute drive from the tiny town of Stinson Beach. The market is well-stocked and there are two good restaurants. Make sure and grab wood from the market, because this cottage got cold at times.

Cute place

The place is very cute and comfortable. Perfect for two or three people. Easy access to the beach. We did have to clean up pet mess in theback yard from the prevoous guests. The place could use some updates furniture and indoor painting.

Such a great getaway !!

The location of this place is super convenient and the house is beautiful. We loved being able to walk right over to the beach and come back whenever we wanted and having an overall awesome trip. The house felt clean and had great character.

Get Away House

A colorful cottage only a short block to the gorgeous beach. The house is very dog friendly with a charming enclosed back deck and yard. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and the rest of the house is informal with a very comfortable bedroom. The pull-out bed in the living room needs to be upgraded. Our stay would have been more successful if the weather hadn't been pouring rain.The manager was very friendly, helpful and available.

Soft sand, soft bed, soft tiwels

Great stay at the cute oceanside cottage. We had everything we needed and Colby made sure we were well informed. Loved information on the checkin website. Great stay close to Muir Woods, panoramic highway, and the best oysters on up the coast to Tomatoes Bay! Highly recommended for a couple of any age.

Quaint Coziness

Love, love, love this place! So quaint and cozy. Our dog loved the backyard and you can’t beat a two minute walk down a private path to the beach. The two plug-in heaters came in handy for a chilly rainy weekend stay

Great location

If you are looking for some beach time - this is the place. Great access to the beach. If the evenings/nights are chilly there is only 1 space heater so use accordingly. The sofa bed is lumpy but serviceable. The TV is in the bedroom and we could not get it to work. The owner offered suggestions but they did not work. The cottage has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The back deck needs a little repair. The back yard is great for morning or evening gatherings. Great outside shower to rinse off the beach.

Great location!

We loved our stay at the Mouse Hole! It is just a few steps from the beach down a short path, but even better is the close proximity to the shops and restaurants in town. We really enjoyed being able to park our car for the duration of our stay and walk on the beach to get to town for a snack or dinner. But yet far enough away that the beach wasn’t crowded with day trippers. We also really appreciated all of the hanging storage in the cottage, so that we could keep our belongings organized and off of the ground. We look forward to returning soon!

Weekend getaway

Cute and funky property. Very cozy. Well equipped. Literally steps from the beach! Pillows in bedroom are not clean and need replacing. Reported that bathroom light did not work but nobody ever came to fix it. Spacious and fenced in backyard. Bring your own wood for fireplace. Walking distance, along the beach, to town! Easy parking in front yard! Spices Ns cooking oil in kitchen! Would recommend!

Stinson Mouse House

This property was so warm and welcoming from first site. Easy to find, well equipped. There was a little confusion with VRBO when I added an extra night to our stay which led to the servicing staff showing up a day early. The property manager will be working on that issue for future bookings. Thank you for a wonderful stay which we thoroughly enjoyed with our dogs. They loved it too!
