About this property

5 Bedroom Bolinas Getaway w/ Unmatched Coastal View

Craigslist Scam Alert: Please be aware that scammers are listing this property on Craigslist. The Oceanview House in Bolinas can only be rented on VRBO and Homeaway.

This charming and historic multi-family beach home is perched above the ocean with amazing views of the coastline, surf break, and lights of San Francisco.

With 5 bedrooms and private parking for 3 cars, this spacious home has enough room to comfortably fit 10 people. The upstairs features a master bedroom with a new king bed and ocean views. The second upstairs bedroom features a new queen bed within earshot of the crashing waves. The downstairs includes three bedrooms - 2 with queen beds and 1 with a bunk bed. In total there are 2 full bathrooms (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs), and half bathroom downstairs as well as a laundry room, 2nd living room / play room and spacious 2nd eat-in kitchen downstairs. Hear the ocean from every room in the house. The main living room with views overlooking the ocean is upstairs.

While removed from the traffic and pedestrian noise of downtown, it's only a 5 minute walk to the main beach due to a staircase shortcut. VRBOs mapping says its 16 minutes but its is much faster with the shortcut. 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk to downtown.

While the home's size and quiet neighborhood set it apart, it's really all about the stunning ocean views from the bright and sunny upper living room, the deck, and private lawn. The deck has plenty of seating and a gas grill. The large bright living room is lined with ocean-view windows, has a cozy wood fireplace, and comfortable furniture. The private yard is perfect for an afternoon picnic or letting the kids run around.

We are dedicated to making sure our guests enjoy their stay as much as we do and we take pride in our 5 star rating. The home is older and rustic much like most of the homes in Bolinas, but it's immaculate, the beds are comfortable and luxurious, and it is stocked with everything needed for a fun and relaxing vacation.

We care deeply about our home and our neighbors and ask that you book elsewhere unless you are responsible and respectful of both. We have strict rules in place to keep everyone honest.

About Bolinas:
Explore the best sleepy beach town in Northern California with more flavor and character than most combined. The house is minutes to the local market, The Coast Cafe (delicious farm to table organic cuisine), Smileys bar (one of the oldest bars in Marin) which features live music every weekend, shops, galleries featuring local artists, and a tennis court that is open to the public on a first come first serve basis.

Excerpt from Marin Independent Journal:
Bolinas is an unincorporated town of 2500 located 30 miles North of San Francisco at the southernmost tip of the Point Reyes National Seashore, surrounded by ocean and well-preserved parkland. Long known for its live and let live attitude, this spirited community of environmentalists, poets, surfers, artists, writers, and aging individualists doesn't have a mayor or a city hall, but its breathtaking scenery, rare wildlife, easy-to-surf waves make Bolinas a perfect destination for weekenders to find a quiet getaway, explore nature, and experience one of California's most culturally unique communities. Just a short drive away is the town of Point Reyes Station and the many local, and amazing oyster farms.

Great spot for the price with beautiful views of the coast. The house is two homes with a joining staircase. Don't miss sunrise on the deck!

It’s was fine but not great
The overall experience was just ok. Coming into the stay our expectations were high based on the rental costs. The hosts were responsive, the checkin/checkout process were as expected. The house seemed like it had been cleaned but not used recently. Lots of spider webs, few dead bugs and even an outlet that had ants coming out of it. The main floor bathroom seemed recently remodeled but most of the rest of the house is dated. We named the the property “the house of a thousand doors”. Lots of double door/walk thru to rooms, rooms within rooms. The basement bathroom was a struggle to use with the lack of water pressure and even has a door that’s caulked shut. Its clear that the property was multiple rentals that are combined into one. It just wasn’t done with much thought. Maybe being from the Midwest our expectations were too high for the California prices. We wouldn’t stay at this property again if given the option.
