DESCRIPTION
Located on the shore of pristine Tomales Bay, Joe’s Studio is the perfect economy getaway from the complexities of everyday life. Whether you want to cozy up indoors or stroll along the beach while keeping an eye out for seals and otters, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable escape.

From the deck, lounge in the sun, or grill up some oysters for dinner. Curl up with a book in one of our lounge chairs and enjoy the ebb and flow of the tides on Tomales Bay. Ready for an adventure? Rent a kayak nearby and venture along the bay. Settle in and let the wildlife and changing light on the water entertain you.

The studio is a cozy retreat - all on a quiet, historic private lane at the waterfront. Wake up to the gentle sound of water lapping the shore. Brew a cup in your well-equipped kitchen. The newly remodeled bathroom has a contemporary shower. There is a completely remodeled kitchen and full bathroom-see photos.
Watch the natural inhabitants of the cove: snowy white egrets, great blue herons, countless flocks of shorebirds, seals, otters, sea lions, fish, bat rays and more. Want a memorable evening? Watch the fog roll in and out while sipping a glass of wine with the sun setting over the Point Reyes Peninsula.
Want to explore? Hop in the car and take a 4-minute drive to Hog Island Oyster Company for a farm tour and lessons in oyster shucking! Drive a little further and explore Point Reyes Station & dozens of hiking trails, beaches, and more within the National Seashore.

Return to your own private retreat to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. If you love to cook, the studio has a fully equipped rustic kitchen. Or, enjoy a lovely evening out at one of the many acclaimed restaurants in the area.

We were looking for a property with a beach so we could assemble and launch our double folding kayak for two or three days - without having to disassemble it after every paddle. We were thrilled to find this beautifully appointed studio with three perfect, charming, deck areas. One above the water, another large, fairly private deck, protected from wind, and another one, equally protected, off the kitchen. This property as a storied history which we read about in the binder provided. The kitchen has everything we needed to make our simple meals. Antique furniture, lots of books, games, DVDs, WiFi, a beautiful bathroom, a gas powered hearth for chilly nights make this a cozy, perfect place to relax. We discovered a fascinating book in the bookshelf: The History of the Point Reyes Peninsula. We bought a copy on our way home in the Point Reyes bookstore. And we met a wonderful neighbor and his wife who told us a few stories about the area and the property specifically. All in all we were absolutely happy and satisfied with our stay. We are also grateful to B., one of the owners, who greeted us warmly and shared a few stories. A note for paddlers. Check the tide and weather well before you arrive. At low tide the water retreats quite a way - but Millers Boat Launch with ramp is only a 4 minute drive away. We have launched our kayak there in the past before we thought of staying at this wonderful vacation rental.

As usual my annual trek to Joe’s Studio for my salt water fix was perfect. Perfect location to explore to the north or south. Cold, foggy and windy Friday night but cozy duvets and the fireplace made everything just right.

Loved the outdoor decking and it was cozy inside-especially with the fireplace.
