Beautiful, high-end home in the perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay at the Stinson beach cottage. The house is lovely with high-end kitchen appliances and quality towels and linens. The beach is just steps away and the backyard is beautifully landscaped if you’re looking for shade. The separate main and gust house was perfect for two couples to have their own space. The host we extremely responsive and checking in/out was a breeze. One thing to note is that there are no closets, just wall hooks, so if you have things to hang, bring hangers! We were there for a wedding and thankfully had garment bags with hangers for steaming clothes. Overall, it was a 10/10 for us!

Darling cottage in a great location
Cute shabby chic-style casita - 5 min walk to beautiful clean beach, coffee/lunch/snack/ice cream/dinner options plus a little general store across the street. The main casita has one bedroom, 1 bath, living/dining and kitchen. Back casita has just bed/bath. They are connected via 2 lush & lovely courtyards: one with the grill and the other with firepit, chairs and picnic table dining. Landscaping is very zen and we could hear the ocean at night. Interior-wise, has anything you could need and is well-designed with high quality linens. Finding it initially was a bit confusing because Verde runs multiple properties there that look similar from the outside and VRBO had posted the wrong number. But the owners were quick to resolve and very nice. Highly recommend!!
