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.

We will be back! This place is a gem. Restful, well-equipped, and steps away from delicious places to eat, beautiful beaches. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, lots of extras (puzzles, games, beach toys), which made it the perfect retreat.
Location was great and the place was perfect for our gathering. Loved being so close to the beach and to the little town. Perfect for our diverse group.
Place was absolutely perfect for our purposes, with most folks flying in from the East Coast to stay before a wedding in Sausalito. The house was able to comfortably fit 13 adults and the grill and hot tub were great bonuses for the evenings at the house. The location is also great, close to the beach from two sides of the house and a five minute walk into town.
We loved everything about the property. It was so convenient to downtown and the beach. The six and seven year old kids spent every waking moment at the beach!We are definitely planning on going back!
Don is super communicative and welcoming. The house is just as described with lots of sleeping options for our crew, and the kitchen is fully stocked (and then some). The hot tub is a nice treat, and everything inside and out is well-maintained. We loved the location and everything about Stinson Beach. Our crew of four adults, six kids, and one dog were sad to leave this great property.
Beautiful home with lots of room to spread out. The beds were very comfortable, large outdoor area for hanging out, close to the beach and walking distance to town. Really enjoyed our stay at The Coop.
The house is an amazing setup for a larger family and friends stay. Each room has access to their own bathroom and there is a lot of privacy. The house is well stocked and the outdoor space is fantastic. We appreciate how quickly the owner communications were too. I highly recommend this house for your beach stay!
We were a family of 10 adults and four kids who thoroughly enjoyed staying in this spacious , well-appointed home in Stinson Beach. We were able to cook each of our three nights in the well equipped kitchen. Walking to the beach was simple due to the great location. The house has many nice amenities, such comfortable bed and very nice bathrooms. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
Our group of 16 adults and children all enjoyed The Coop tremendously! The property was exceptional, inside and out. Everyone had a comfy place to sleep, there were lots of cute spaces to hang out outside, the beach was nearby, and the house had everything we needed. Don was an especially kind and responsive host. Our entire group agreed that we would love to go back and stay at this house again in the future!
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!
Seriously amazing property. A once in a lifetime experience. We hosted our wedding reception here and our family and friends loved the home. Huge property and plenty of space. Street dead ends into the beach. Don was very friendly the entire process and even let my husband and I tour the property a few months before our stay to ensure it was exactly what we were looking for. No complaints what so ever! Best rental we have ever stayed in!
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!.
Perfect Home, Property and Location for Group of 11Everyone was so pleased with the features, layout, and indoor and outdoor accommodations for our large group. The home was well-designed and comfortable. Beds were great. The grounds were attractive and well kept. It was less than a 5-minute walk to magnificent Stinson Beach, and there are many nice hiking trails in this area. We had fun day trips to Point Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods, Marshall, and Petaluma.The house listing was accurate, and Don was superb in providing timely response and assistance.I would love to return for another stay at this property.
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.
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.
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!
We gathered for almost a week at Don’s solar powered beach house to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday with our extended family and it was just the place for our group to spend that time. Beds were all very comfortable. Especially the pullout couches! They had memory foam! I slept on them all but one night and must say I woke up very well rested without any of the typical aches and pains from normal sofa beds. The kitchen was well stocked,
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.
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.
