The instructions were to park in a special place designed for guests. A cart port. However as we pulled into the property, a lady had already parked there and plugged her car in and quickly ran into the house. The email told us to park in that place. We knocked in the door where the lady went but no response at all. Calling or contacting the host was a failure on multiple attempts. The sign on the door said to take our shoes off, but if you do, you will end up with pet hair on your socks or bare feet. So the floor is not that clean for them to ask you to take youe shoes off. To get to this place, you must have an SUV to get thru the potholes in the little streets they have. I wouldve never made it there if i didnt have tires on my suv to handle it. But once you get there, it's ok.

This is a special spot to stay. The space was stocked with games, many books and comfy furniture. The kitchen had basic cooking supplies. Good TV offerings. The location, quiet and ambiance were very special and the main reason to come back to this spot.

Quiet scenic getaway
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the creative retreat on the Bolinas mesa near Agate Beach. The space has a spacious, open floor plan, very comfortable queen bed, beautiful hardwood floors, large windows providing bright natural light and a great book collection. The space is one unit of a duplex in a natural setting of lush vegetation, magnificent gardens overlooking the ocean in the distance with optimal privacy since the units only share parking space and a large outdoor deck overlooking the gardens. Agate Beach below a towering cliff with tide pools teeming with sea life was an easy 15 minute walk. Our host Phillippa was friendly, welcoming and freely shared her ideas on how to enjoy Bolinas

Quiet fall escape
I really enjoyed the Creative Retreat and Bolinas. I was looking for a secluded and very quiet spot on the coast, and I found it! The space is bright and clean (note that the kitchen is quite bare bones; don't assume anything will be provided beyond the absolute basics. I missed morning coffee.). The bed and couch are comfortable, and the overall feel is just fantastic. There are many reviews that comment on the roads, and I'll chime in to say that the neighborhood streets in this part of town are like unmaintained Forest Service backcountry roads. Don't bring a low clearance car and do a little diligence to find the route that maximizes time on pavement (hint: Elm Rd is your friend!). The Agate Beach County Park is wonderful for a walk, watching the surfers is a joy, the town has great food. Go, find some quiet, and enjoy yourself.

Great Beach Location and Beautiful Home Lacked Privacy and Not Dog Friendly
Rental property is brightly lit and beautiful. Very close access to cute town of Bolinas and secluded sandy beach. It was chilly and very windy when I went in late June but I enjoyed getting away from heat of summer. There were some negatives. First, the directions that I needed that explained that the gps was wrong and the house was on the left side of the road wasn’t sent to me until I was already enroute. I had no signal/Wi-Fi so I spent a few embarrassing minutes knocking on strangers doors looking for my rental. So send that message much sooner. The rental agent, or maybe it was the husband of his wife, the main agent who wasn’t there, asked me when I arrived if he could install a porch screen barrier to divide and provide privacy for me and them. I agreed. It provided no privacy but I was constantly seeing him outside my great room window which was an uncomfortable level of non-privacy. Window blinds were no help. Yes, I gave him permission but it just ruined my time there after I paid a lot for that two day get away stay. I found out that this rental allows dogs but is not dog friendly. The only grassy area for a dog to go is the backyard but it is full of burrs and spiky things. The owner’s mother (in-law?) told me that my dog needed to be leashed while their dog ran free. She wasn’t nice about it either. Now for the nitpicky but frustrating: only one towel so had to ask for second; ran out of tp so had to ask for second; needed soap so had to ask. No cooking oil. At that point, I was done with asking for anything. My family told me I should have given this experience a much lower rating. But everything except the dog experience can easily be corrected so I believe that the owners will learn and improve. Overall it is a wonderful place in proximity to the Pacific Ocean.

Photos don’t do it justice
This place is gorgeous. Beautiful, light, bright and breezy with pretty pillows, fluttery curtains, comfy sofas, perfect patio doors out to a delightful deck overlooking gorgeous gardens with lively sculptures, and a fantastic seascape stretching out beyond. Downsides: no oven, much further from the beach than I’d imagined, and Agate beach is actually steep and rocky anyway, and even getting in and out of Bolinas was an adventure each time! However this place was such a delight that it made a little intrepid adventuring out to find things worth it, to come home to this place! Would recommend! Nice helpful hosts in adjoining property helped my mom work the hob. Very friendly host texted me easy details to get there and get in. All very laid back and relaxed. Loved all the wood!en carvings!

Wonderful property/retreat in Bolinas Community
A bit spartan at first blush but we warmed to the property within 10 minutes. Very quiet, nothing but the friendliest people for miles around, very clean and livable space with a largely open floor plan. Perfect for a mature couple. Close to the quaint avenues of Bolinas, to top-notch hiking in Pt Reyes, and of course, to the crashing waves of the Pacific. Only warning to next guests is that the general store in town closes at 6pm! Bruce

Great spot for a getaway
My wife and I were pleased with our stay. We felt the home was nicer than the listing shows. Great location and property, and the host was very nice. The town is a bit hard to navigate. Apple does a better job of navigation than Android in this case. Only downsides were spotty internet and a small kitchen. Overall, I have no hesitations about staying here again.

Best way to start a honeymoon!
My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The place was tranquil and quiet and the hosts we're so nice. The small kitchen was more than enough to cook in and they had nice pans to cook with. Bolanis is a hidden gem that everyone should visit at least once. The people are so inclusive and welcoming as you share their town and the beautiful coast.

I got a message about 4 hours before check-in saying that they had to cancel stay because they had over booked. We scrambled and found some place else to stay. Very tough to have them cancel at last minute. It took about a week but we eventually got all our money back.

Spacious and Quiet Getaway
Just what we needed for a twosome Christmas when we could not be with family. Spotless, nice linens, comfortable furniture, good lighting for reading, fine shower and lots of hot water. Suggestion: no glasses of any kind (but hosts supplied upon request), no large spoon for stirring soups or sauces, no dishpan for doing dishes. We wished we could have stayed longer. A great place to work (although WiFi a bit spotty).
