Stunning! This was my wife's first trip to California and seeing the Pacific Ocean. Hence, this was the perfect place to make that lifetime impression. It was simply spectacular! The pictures online were helpful, but being there in real life was amazing! The views were fantastic, the wildlife was exciting to see and interact with, and the proximity to various things we wanted to see and do was wonderful. It was so cool to see the moon rise over Muir Beach as we sat in bed. And then to have the beautiful sun rises too! I genuinely feel I couldn't have picked a better place. It was so relaxing we were hesitant to leave and do other things. We could have simply sat on the deck chairs and watched the days go by. As someone who cleans homes for a living, I'm probably one of the worse people to have as a guest. Having said that, the property was spotless! Things were so well taken care of and clean. I was very impressed! An added benefit of our stay was being able to use the laundry. After five days of hiking in Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, a washer and dryer were a welcome relief! If you do choose to stay here, do venture out and visit the Muir Beach Overlook that's up over the hill behind the property; spectacular views! Good place to watch the sun set too! Muir Woods is nearby, within 3 miles - take the back road to get there. And the Pelican Inn has good food and a wonderful old English pub vibe to it. Our visit was worth every penny spent!

What a beautiful property with mesmerizing views of the coast. Looking forward to our next visit !

Awesome house and views!

This place was the most beautiful place we have stayed yet. The view was spectacular, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the beds were very comfortable! The host/hosts were very attentive to our needs and questions. We would highly recommend this place and hope to come back again in the future!!

The view is absolutely worth ten-plus stars and is even better than the pictures! You can hear the ocean from the deck and feel your stress slip away when you arrive! Communication with Beverly was easy and we had all the information we needed on arrival and were delighted to find a bottle of wine as well. The home is very comfortable and the property was spotless. It worked nicely for a couple of days with my college roommate. Other reviews have mentioned the concerns about the winding roads(easily driveable in my opinion but worth noting if you're not from the area and this makes you uncomfortable) and the lack of blinds in the windows on the property. It was a minor annoyance when the sun got quite warm in the afternoons (though we opened the doors to the deck and were fine shortly), and is a strange feeling in the bedrooms and bathroom. I don't think anyone can see you, but would prefer to pull down blinds or a curtain anyway. But in my opinion, the view and the overall peace of the property more than compensated for that minor inconvenience. We appreciate Beverly sharing this beautiful spot and we would definitely return.

Clean, Peaceful, quiet. I get my energy from water. Sounds of the crashing waves were hypnotic .

A spectacular place to experience the California coast as if you were a bird soaring over it. Super comfortable house. Wonderful, communicative owner. Everything you could possibly need or want for a very special stay. Thank you Bev for sharing it with us!

Beautiful, awe-inspiring views. Cute house. Though it took awhile to drive there, it was well worth it.

A truly beautiful and peaceful get-away. The house was quiet and the view is now a core memory. It's the perfect place to watch the waves and any stray clouds that may happen to float by.

House was perfect with a great view overlooking the ocean.

There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful our stay was. The view from every room is absolutely breathtaking. Sitting on the back deck you are able to enjoy the waves crashing on the beach below and chirps of scrub jays; such a serine little escape from the hustle and bustle. The house was so cozy, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in the door. We loved every moment of our stay and would recommend it to anyone going to visit Muir Beach. We will certainly be coming back!

My best friend & I celebrated our 60th birthdays at this awesome cottage. Bev & Scout were terrific to work with & the cottage has amazing views & is so homey, making this a birthday to remember! And who knows…might spend 61 here too! Thank you so much!

Absolutely lovely property, lots of wildlife, amazing views of the ocean. Very relaxing.

The house was more than expected Breathtaking view, immaculate, well appointed, bright and sunny Every window was like looking into a beautiful painting Kitchen has everything you can think of I would come and stay longer next time Great location!!

Great: • Views of Muir Beach; Proximity to Muir Woods; Very clean, Multiple places to hang out; The beds/bedding are very comfortable, warm enough to sleep with sliding door open; hearing waves at night very soothing; Excellent bottle of red wine on our arrival; Internet worked well; hubby enjoyed the outdoor shower; property manager was easy to contact, quick to respond. Not so great: • The lounging sofa is not always comfortable, gets hot there when in the direct sun in the afternoon; bedrooms have only double sized beds, just too small and not comfortable for a getaway experience; kitchen does not have: muffin tin, regular size baking pans, mixing bowls, regular size spoons. The liquid soap was watered down, which felt rather cheap. No place to put your stuff! In the bedrooms, there are wide window ledges, but they were filled. There is only one nightstand per bedroom, and dresser only in one bedroom. Downstairs bathroom has no counter. Shower has a window facing the beach without any covering. No blinds on any windows. No sound privacy. The bedrooms share the jack-and-jill bath. One “wall” of each bedroom is a sliding door, with gaps at the top, meaning no sound privacy for the bedrooms. There is a sign by front door saying to not wear your shoes inside. However, there is no bench either inside or outside of the front door, so it is not easy to comply with this, especially when loading/unloading your car, particularly in leaving, as my husband had to go up and down damp steps, and back and forth through the door to load stuff, making it unavoidable to track stuff onto floor. Other notes: (Things not in owner’s control, but worth knowing) • If you dislike mountain roads, maybe think twice about this one. The last 20 minutes of the drive to the house is extremely curvy/windy. There are places to hike from the house, but they are STEEP. We hiked down to the little Muir, and then over to the big Muir Beach. Very steep hike back up to house. Muir beach lookout is another place to hike to, but a VERY steep paved road to climb to get there. During the daytime on weekdays, there were various construction sounds, from work being done on homes in the surrounding area, creating unwelcome noise pollution during the day. We enjoyed the stay, the views, the sound of the waves at night, and the hike through Muir Woods. But as nice as that was, we don’t really see this as a place we would stay again in the future.

The views are unbelievable and the setting is perfect. House is comfortable and lots of light from early morning until sunset. Everything you need is here. Close to good walks and two wonderful beaches. Even scrub jays on the deck every morning and monarch butterflies in the afternoon. A truly lovely place and owner is very responsive and helpful. Would come again

This property is even better than the pictures. Very homey with stunning views. We even canceled our plans one of the days to just hung out at the house. Fantastic place to relax and unwind. Would highly recommend!

It was a true getaway for us, just left everything at home. Was everything you hoped it would be and more! Thank you so much Beverly again for sharing with us your special nest. Mitch and Maggie

There’s no blinds at all to get out of the sun in the morning and early afternoon. There’s only one full bathroom with the shower handle broken so the pressure isn’t working and the freezer leaking. The furniture isn’t comfortable for us older people. Paid $30 hour to stay. But the Zinfandel was good!

I am really happy to be able to find this property and enjoy 2 nights here. View is excellent. Will come back here next year with my husband and my son. They both couldn’t come, so I come with my sister. Would like to recommend two things if owners don’t mind. Can you please change one bed to queen size bed for a couple and make that room little brighter light bulbs. Just a wish, already happy enough to be able to stay here . Thanks!

My husband and I stayed at this property to celebrate my birthday. We both agreed that it was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed and the views of the pacific are spot on with the pictures online. The communication with the owner was well above average and she was quick to respond to any of our needs. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 were cosmetic changes I would make myself and the windy road to get to the property. I like a little more privacy than this had to offer since there were no window coverings and the sliding doors were difficult to manage. Over all we loved the gentle sound of the waves at night and enjoyed our coffee on the deck in the morning. I would highly recommend this place to friends looking for a quiet, distant getaway!

Gorgeous home and views. We loved all the walks available without having to drive especially the walk to the beach. Great kitchen for cooking since we hardly wanted to leave!

Every window has spectacular views, you can't help but feel peaceful and relaxed the moment you arrive. The home was super comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable!! Loved the outside shower. Would 100% stay again. Thank you Beverly for sharing your home.

Incredible views! Even better than the pictures.

The view is amazing, and the beach access is very close to the house. You are in a single-unit home, so you have absolute privacy. The property is very well maintained!

We had an amazing week! The views don't disappoint. Bev was great to rent from and I highly recommend this property.

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location! My wife and I enjoyed the beach, nearby hiking, and San Francisco, but we really loved coming home and sitting on the deck and taking in the views. They were breathtaking. The kitchen was also great for cooking and very well appointed. We did, however, have a couple issues. First, only one part of the screen door is operational on the double sliding doors onto the balcony. The second one must be missing? That may not seem like a big deal (it wasn't to us at first), but with no central air in the house you want to leave those doors open! Unfortunately, that also means the mosquitos can get in. We left with a lot of bug bites on our arms, legs, and neck/back, which made for an uncomfortable plane ride home. It would be an easy fix for the caretaker though. Second, there are no window coverings in the house. You are in a fairly private area so you feel isolated, and you definitely want to see the views as much as possible, but it would have been nice at times to have some privacy, especially on entrance doors, or on the sides of the house not facing the water. I always felt a little uneasy leaving the house, or going to bed at night, with all of our belongings out in the open. All in all we really enjoyed our time in the house, but there were a couple of improvements that could have been made that would have made the experience absolutely perfect.

Yearly my wife and I take an anniversary vacation with a VRBO property being central to the trip. A year in advance, we decide location, narrow down properties and vet to decide on the one to call home. This whole process has become very special to us, not taken lightly, impulsively nor taken for granted. We decided on this home 10 months ago. Almost daily we would look at the posted photos, listen to the songs from video photo #3. We fell in love with it and couldnt wait to get here. This home DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Opening the windows to hear the ocean, sitting on decks to feel the cool breeze, watching the deer family of 6 munching on grass, feeding peanuts to the scrub jays, napping on the blue window seats, watching sun rise and fall in the midst of 'Karl the fog' (whats he gonna do today??). We loved the comfortable beds, soft comfortable sheets, garden tub, fully stocked/accessorized kitchen with every conceivable item. We needed to buy nothing except our food. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the years, no owner nor property manager prior could hold a candle to these 2 ladies. They were quite responsive, easy to reach/communicate with and almost anticipated what we would need. All property instructions were unambiguous and well posted. Location was perfectly situated for our vast itinerary. Close to CA-1 and 101 allowed easy travel to Mill Valley (our favorite) SF, Sausalito, Berkeley, Tiburon and Mendocino to name a few. The home is central to great food, numerous grocery stores and hikes, however felt like we were 'off the beaten path - as we tend to keep to ourselves. Toward the end, our daily jaunts got shorter to the end, we just didnt want to leave the house. On our last day, we cried, said goodbye and left a blessing for those coming in after our departure. We absolutely plan to return.

We booked the house to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary (without the kids!) and it was just perfect. The house is in an amazing location with magnificent views and is well appointed with all the things you would need to cook and be comfortable staying in for meals. The instruction book was very thorough and clear. We loved how close the house was to many hiking trails and the beach. We didn’t use the car once after we arrived! Glorious hiking and nature immersion. We enjoyed it so much we’re thinking of making it an annual tradition. We would recommend being eye masks as the amazing picture windows have no coverings and the emerging sun can wake you up at 5am. Still, just lovely!

Fantastically beautiful home.

Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Muir Beach home! The views from the home are breathtaking, and the house is light and comfortable. We loved watching the friendly deer in the yard (buck, doe, and fawn!), and feeding the scrub jays peanuts in the shell each day was so much fun! This was a very nice surprise! The home is in a great location, and we loved our visits to Muir Woods National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, and San Francisco. We can’t wait to return!
