"We had a wonderful stay totally enjoyed it. We will be using you again. Thank you."

Stinson Beach Vibe - Easy Living w Garden & Outdoors Shower

10/10 Excellent

"This is our third visit to Casita Azul and it's the perfect place for us at Stinson Beach. Having our toy poodle with us, the fenced yard is a huge bonus. Parking is convenient right outside the house and it's always immaculate when we arrive. The dog friendly portion of the beach is literally just a few minutes walk on the private road from the house and it's an easy walk to the Parkside Snack Bar, where we enjoyed a couple of mint Oreo sundaes while sitting at the park across the street.Casita Azul doesn't have an oven, but it's not needed for us since we bring our own food which only requires a microwave or cooktop to heat up.We had an issue with the door lock (which ended up being operator error!) but when my husband contacted Colby, the property manager, he was quick to get back to him and even touched base again to make sure everything was okay.We can't wait to return!"
