Top Mount Tamalpais State Park Hotel Reviews

Cozy, Comfortable Beach Home, Steps from the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this terrific house very close to the beach! Karen was a fantastic host and the house had everything we needed. This was our second stay here and we loved it!"

Oceanfront At Stinson - Relax And Refresh

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect clean cozy cottage on the beach! Easy-peasy! Highly recommended!!"

Classic Oceanfront Stinson - The Whale House

10/10 Excellent

"The Whale House is FABULOUS! The location alone is worth the price and the fact that there is really only one bedroom. (which of course we knew ahead of time). The living area is spectacular - bathed in beautiful light all day, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the Pacific ocean-front experience. The kitchen is very well-stocked, the beds and sheets are very nice, lovely hot tub, plenty of comfortable inside and outside seating options, and so much more. And oh yes, there is the Pacific Ocean. Unique and very special!"

Mill Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely time at Mill Valley Inn. The balcony room was wonderful and we enjoyed the breakfast and wine reception. It was a perfect spot for a short weekend away!"

Nestled in the Redwoods, Easy Walk Downtown, Close to SF and Wine Country

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely area, cool temps, but really narrow roads in the neighborhood."

Cute & Colourful Oceanside Cottage w Garden

10/10 Excellent

"We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, just steps from the dog-friendly beach. The kitchen is well-stocked with appliances and supplies to make meals. The setup is really nice overall, with lots of places to hang bags, clothing, etc. The host communicated well via vrbo. I did end up putting the trash out for Wednesday pick up. I wasn't sure if that was up to me or not."

Captivating Muir Beach Home With Sweeping Views and Fast/Stable Wireless Wifi

8/10 Good

"We had a real good stay."

Amazing Oceanside Cottage w Private Beach Lot

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and great view.Good for a small family."

Solar-Powered Dream Vacation Property

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough good things about the host, Don, and the house "The Coop." The house accommodated my large family and me (9 adults, 7 kids, 1 dog) in a way that most rentals don’t. A highlight was each bedroom had it’s own, beautiful bathroom! Everything was nicely appointed and comfortable for all. Both inside and outside had huge dining tables, the yard was lovely and had a private hot tub area and a hidden hammock that all enjoyed. It was a short walking distance to the beach (1 minute walk) - and a 5 minute walk to town (where soft serve, the surf shop, a park, and more were highlights). If I had any questions about anything, Don was responsive. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better host! I would give Don 5 stars for creating such a super place and being so available and accommodating, making our stay there so fun and comfortable."
