Beautiful and walkable

This area is scenic and easy to get around.
The Steep Ravine Cottage combines Stinson Beach charm with deluxe surf shack style. With a top to bottom renovation in 2019, the cottage is styled and ready for memory making. 3 bedrooms and plenty of room to stretch out. Ocean views from the second floor! Situated right in the village, the location can't be beat. Park your car when you arrive and you won't need it till you leave. A 2 minute stroll to the sand and the village is right outside your front door. Sleep to the sound of the waves!

The space
Please check out our property website: www.cottagesatstinsonbeach.com for more pictures and details!

The Steep Ravine is one of three connected cottages on the property. You have your own entrance and two private garden areas, one with an 8 foot long dining table set below lights and heaters, plus a fire pit for evening lounging.

Inside, you'll enter into a large living room with an absurdly comfortable and large sectional couch and large screen smart TV. Off the living room are a brand new kitchen with stone counters and a dishwasher and disposal. Also off the living room is a charming dining room and full bath with shower. Heated tile floors in all the bathrooms! Upstairs there is another full bathroom with a bathtub and shower and three bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is the master, with a king bed and a gorgeous ocean view. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have two twins that can be attached to make a king. Please note that the third bedroom (two twins or king) is only accessed through the second bedroom (two twins or king), so keep that in mind for privacy concerns. In bedroom 2, there is a little built in sleeping nook, perfect for a not-too-tall child.

Upstairs, there is a wrap-around deck, perfect for ocean and mountain viewing over coffee, wine, or cocoa.

The house was just renovated top to bottom, so all windows, kitchen, bathrooms, etc are brand new and solidly constructed.

Please note that because the three units are in one shared structure, there are times when some noise might travel. There are double walls between the cottages, so you can't hear conversations, but loud footsteps sometimes travel through the spaces. For this reason, we ask for quiet hours from 10 pm to 7 am. If you want to hang out loudly after 10 or before 7, there's always the beach just steps away! Grab a cozy blanket from the house and head on down to gaze at the stars.

We have all that you need -- beach towels, beach chairs, beach blankets, boogie boards, an outdoor shower, all down bedding, organic mattresses, fully equipped kitchen, cozy blankets, coffee, tea, kitchen basics, fancy lotion... and the LOCATION IS THE BEST! One house to the beach and right in the village. Steps to great restaurants, shops, and cafes. And right at the base of Mt Tam.

PLEASE NOTE! The Steep Ravine Cottage can be rented with one or both of the other other units on the property. If you rent the Steep Ravine Cottage with the Dipsea, you can sleep a total of 10. If you rent all three units, you can sleep a total of 14.

Neighborhood highlights

The town of Stinson Beach is a truly magical place. Nestled between a long arc of sandy beach to the west and glorious Mt Tam to the east, Stinson is one of the most soul-lifting, smile-making spots on earth.

The town is tiny but somehow has everything you need! Several fantastic restaurants are steps away, including the Parkside Bakery, Cafe, Snackbar, and Restaurant. Roll out of bed to a latte and fresh pastry. A little market is just a block away where you'll find a good selection of groceries, wine, beer, and other basic sundries. A book store, library, surf shop, and a few more restaurants round out the village. On the beach, just a few minutes stroll away is the Siren restaurant - the best fish tacos in town. The kitchen is lovely and ready for you to cook, but also know that you can get any meal you need with very little effort. You won't need to use your car at all.

While time at the glorious beach can occupy your whole visit, just know that the trails of Mt Tam are just steps away! The hiking is fantastic, as it doesn't take long to climb up to some extraordinary views. The Steep Ravine Cottage is named after the trail of the same name. The Dipsea and Matt Davis trails are equally superb.

Lives in California, United States
We are a family of four and we live just over the mountain from Stinson Beach. For decades now Stinson has been our #1 place to play. Like our absolute favorite place to go in any season. Our souls are happy out there. We've dreamed for years of buying a place in Stinson, but honestly never thought it would be in the cards given the real estate market. In June 2019, the stars aligned and we were able to buy the Cottages at Stinson Beach, which was then set up as a set of long term rentals. It was truly a dream come true, like in a pinching ourselves, mouths wide open kind of way. We've spent the last half-year fixing and replacing nearly every system on the property, a labor of head-over-heels-love. 1,000 decisions -- big, small, and everything in between. We designed the Cottages with an eye towards all the things we love to do in Stinson -- sit with family and friends around a sofa, table, or fire pit; cook great meals together in really lovely kitchens; take long lingering baths while gazing at the stars; and of course, immerse in all of the magic that is Stinson Beach. It's an extraordinary spot that makes us all breath easy and smile more.
