This house exceeds all expectations. It’s part of a complex that itself is magical - feels like it’s own little world but is just steps from the beach. And the house itself is very modern, with beautiful photography on the walls and a fully stocked kitchen. Could not recommend this rental more. We will be back!

This property is simply amazing and neither pictures or words can showcase how lovely the garden/pond, landscape, and the whole property is. We walked at night through the lit garden to the beach. There are two entrances to the beach from the back of the property and both are easily accessible. There are surf boards, wetsuits, wagon for kids, a lovely platform for yoga or games, basketball for the next door park... it really has everything you could imagine. Fresh flowers and complimentary wine were waiting. We did not have to drive once, as there are restaurants on the street over (2 minute walk) with a small market and playground for the kids in the same area. Muir Woods National Park is close, which we visited on the way out. You can even hike there from across the property if you’re adventurous! We hope to visit again and would definitely recommend. No complaints.

The Carriage House was all that we had hoped for and more. In addition to the home being beautiful, so too were the grounds. And so close to the beach! We hope to stay here again!

We (myself, hubby, and kids 4 and 7) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique property. The grounds are so beautiful and fun to explore, and the super close beach is an added bonus! Our hosts were so warm and accommodating, quick to answer questions and requests. Rooms were comfortable and mostly well equipped (plenty of pillows, towels, soap, coffee, etc) but if you are cooking something specific in the kitchen, bring everything you need. We had to get creative a few times! Or just walk over to the Parkside Cafe for the most delicious pizza ever. Highly recommend this property, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is a gem! My kids, parents, husband and dog all loved it - and that is saying a lot!

We enjoyed 3 nights at the Carriage House as a family of four looking for quiet time together. We also brought our dog -- thank you for allowing that! (You do have to walk a ways to the north end of the parking lot to access the part of the beach where pets are allowed, or risk being scolded by the park service.) The house is very comfortable, nice sheets, towels and beds are super comfy and the kitchen is well-supplied for cooking. The location is excellent. At first I was a little worried that we would not be directly on the beach, but it is such a short walk and the expansive garden is so nice to walk through, I really preferred being set back a bit. You can still hear the surf like crazy and plenty of night time coyote howling as well. The only improvement I would ask for is more reading lights. Some of the rooms are a little too dark for reading. The chessboard and fireplace are a wonderful spot to gather. Also, there are plenty of nice surfboards and boogie boards and even a skim board available to use on the beach. Finally, the Parkside is just steps away for pastries, ice cream, and a really nice dinner. We would come back here in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

First dare to venture out since Covid and were we pleased! Beautiful grounds and property, such a comfortable stay plus awesome path to the beach and walks around town. Thanks for the amazing hospitality, hope to return!

Great home and beautiful property. The house is so close to everything.

Great home and beautiful property. The house is so close to everything.

This stylish home is beautiful and is conveniently located in Stinson close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The property had other rentals on it which would be really great if you wanted to rent the whole complex for a large family reunion or gathering! They share a central parking area and amazing garden and each home has a lot of privacy. This design-oriented house is well-stocked with everything you might need and is a pleasure to cook and relax in!

Beautiful location, just steps from the beach and hiking trails. It made for a perfect gathering place for our family's Thanksgiving.

Stinson beach is pretty great on its own, but having a place right off the beach amazing garden is seriously special. Lovely house in a beautiful spot

The house is lovely, super clean and very well appointed--comfortable beds, kitchen stocked with the basics (coffee, oil, etc) and the garden is stunning. Steps to the beach. Loved it!

This was our second time staying at the Carriage House, and it was another lovely experience! The location is incredible -- just steps away from the beach and many hiking trails. The house is comfortable and cared for with love. The kitchen is well-equipped and provides a wonderful place to cook all together as a family. Our hosts were responsive and attentive. We will definitely be back!

The Carriage House was perfect for our family of 4. The house is charming and well laid out. The kitchen was well enough equipped to cook a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The walk to the beach through the gardens is a magical experience. We surfed, hiked and cycled all from the house which is much nicer than portrayed in the photos. You will not be disappointed unless you mind seeing friendly neighbors walking through the garden as you will walk through the garden of others. As an added bonus, the manager was kind enough to find a watch cable we left behind and return it to us. We will definitely find another time to stay here.

We had a magical gathering of 17 friends from across the country at Willow Camp and Carriage House. I cannot think of any better place we could have stayed. The houses and grounds are so beautiful. The huge fireplace backlit our late night conversations. The wonderful kitchen supported a house full of foodies, cooking gourmet meals and sitting down at the dining table that accommodated us all. The house is so unique, steeped in history you can't help but be amazed. One wishes they could have dropped into the house in the 1920's when there was a party. Steve and Lovisa are great hosts. We had a few questions and they were addressed right away. Now all we can talk about is what date we can return to this amazing house!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Carriage House. The house was very easy to live in, modern and simply decorated. The master bedroom is very special and all the beds were comfortable. Having close access to Stinson beach was amazing and the gardens are gorgeous. Thanks to Steve, Lovisa and Karoline.

We loved the home, the location and only wished It would never end. Thanks

We had a dreamy family time here! Both indoor and outdoor spaces are flowing, gracious, elegant and inviting, creating a tapestry of different interactions that delight the imagination with a sense of history and possibility. The place lends itself to small and large groups, days spent in twos and fours, swimming laps in the pool, reading, beach walking, hill hiking, pastries and coffee at the cafe; each evening we melded into our total of 13 for large dinners around the dining table and games in the living room. We truly would love to be back for a week.

We couldn't have been happier. The house is well maintained, close to the beach and to town, lovely wave sounds from all the bedrooms and the grounds are simply breathtaking. The owners were responsive to our needs and we look forward to returning.

Went for a few days to hang out and relax with my kids before school starts, the house is beautiful and the property is secluded and magical. We loved exploring the gardens, walking to the beach (steps away), and walking to town (about two blocks away). We will definitely be back, it's a special place! Also the owners could not have been more welcoming and lovely :)

My family and I loved our short stay at this property. The owners have lovingly remodeled the house, which is beautiful and well appointed, and the gardens are spectacular. We used the charcoal grill for dinners on the lawn and came to and from the beach often and with easy, quick access through the gardens. We hope to be able to visit again.

We spent four days and four nights at the Carriage House and it was a treat. The three bedrooms easily sleep a couple in each one and we were able to accommodate a toddler in the fold out bed in the master bedroom. One note: I don't think the listing does enough to highlight how beautiful and expansive the grounds are! As part of the Carriage House, you can access a side yard with a full sized trampoline, a beautiful garden with a fire pit a lilly pond, a side yard with a field table where we had dinner and lunch for eleven people . . . It was gorgeous. Lovisa is an excellent host and the house was in pristine condition when we arrived with enough touches and grace notes like matching beach towels that made you feel really taken care of. Great place, would stay again!

We could not have had a better experience. We cannot wait to return.

We live in Michigan and We stayed at Lovisa's home in Stinson Beach for 3 days since we were going to a wedding at Stinsons Beach. It was perfectly clean and organized. The property is very welcoming and there was a basket with compliments like fresh bread, pesto sauce, fresh local eggs, organic tea, fresh half and half for the next day morning coffee, a was a wonderful treat that we were not expecting. We were there with our 2 kids and they had a blast. They have so many outdoor games ( horseshoe, soccer, bikes, kayak.... you name it and they have it) Kids enjoyed their complimentary fresh pop corn ! Magical place sorrounded with hiking trails n so many stuff to do. Outdoor grill for a great meal. Their property location is perfect, walk distance to the little down town for an ice cream, good dinner, groceries, gifts shoppes. Had a front door through the gardens that takes you to the beach. Best secluded property in Stinson Beach since we saw so many houses that other friends attending the wedding were renting. You won't go wrong with this house. Butttt i will admit we didn't have enough time to enjoy all what this property has to offer. .. they have everything available for you Flash light, pets feeder, dogs waste bags, etc... Amazing for a family, families with kids, group or a couple ....all we did also was walk out the gate and we were at the beach an at the Siren Canteen ( place to eat at the beach) . The home is extremely clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The upstairs offer master bedroom with california king bed and Tv and sofa bed plus 2 rooms with 1 queen bed each and one of them with apple TV. Also i asked Lovisa if there was an iron and ironing board available at the property and she kindly answer that she would make sure her assistant would have one available for us when we get there...owners great people to deal with . Thank you so much Lovisa for providing us your house what was way over our expectations.... we had a blast! Definitely would be back!!!
