Very clean, close to the beach and trail heads - this place is a gem! I can't wait to go back. The bed was pretty hard in room #4 but the kitchen and everything else was perfect! The front desk staff helped us choose which hike to go on and they were very nice. The neighborhood was quiet and clean.... More

our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids aged 11 and 9) stayed in one of the cabins for 3 nights - the location is fantastic being a 2 minute walk to the beach - the cabins are spacious and we used the kitchenette to do some home cooking which was badly needed after being on the road -... More

SO clean! Impressing me on cleanliness is hard to do but this little place did! Loved the tile floors and all the amenities this little place offered. Along with the small fridge, microwave, coffee maker and picnic supplies, they provided BIG beach towels and a quilt for enjoying the beach AND a flashlight for late night beach strolls. The Sandpiper... More

The Sandpiper is a great place to stay in Stinson. The cabin (#8) was clean and cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. The garden was a lovely place to sit and read, the staff was really friendly and helpful and the office had movies, books and beach chairs to lend. And it was just... More

We just stayed at the Sandpiper Inn for the very first time in room 3 (an upstairs room) and we will definitely be back. The off season, mid-week rate ($99 before tax) was very reasonable for it's location close to the beach, dining, and right between Muir Beach with the Pelican Inn and Bolinas with it's sweet museum and gallery....

Our room (#2) was large and had everything we needed....and more. Besides the comfy bed and fireplace, there was also a mircowave, fridge, bowls, utencils, paper towels, dishwashing liquid and a kitchen towel and new sponge! Free DVD's are available in the office. We went to the local market and bought cereal, fruit and healthy snacks. The market was well... More

It was very good to have a kettle,microwave and fridge along with everything you need to eat (plate,cutlery etc). The atmosphere is great, and it was lovely being so close to the beach with a good garden to rest in. We could do great day trips - Muir Woods, Point Reyes. Don't forget to visit the Stinson Beach Bookshop.

We just live 2 hrs from Stinson Beach & this was our first trip to the area. It was nice to be able to just park the car & walk to the great beach and also restaurants. The room was clean although carpet needs to be replaced as it was stained. Kate checked us in & was very friendly with... More

We loved this place. The cabins are very close together and could do with new carpets and furniture but we loved the garden and our cabin was very clean. Smokers ignoring the non smoking sign outside of cabins and children to scream and play amongst the cabins at 8am on a Sunday morning almost spoilt it for us but we... More

I spent just one night here, and it was exactly what I needed. My boyfriend and I were looking for a little escape - we both live in NYC and were in the Bay Area visiting my family. The Sandpiper Inn was ideal. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room we had was clean and spacious with a... More
