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.
