Inquire About This Property

A sweet hillside cottage above the bay

Tucked into the hillside above Stinson Beach, 270 Calle Del Mar is a sweet two-bedroom home with private garden living spaces, just a five-minute walk to town and the sand. Easy access to Mt. Tamalpais and the trails above town puts the best of West Marin right at the door.

The primary bedroom suite has its own bath, plenty of window light, and a private deck. A roomy second bedroom shares a bath down the hall. The living room — warmed by a wood stove — opens to a view of the sea, while the sunny kitchen with granite counters makes its own case for staying in.

Step outside to a fenced garden and deck built for slow mornings and grilled dinners, with the Pacific fog rolling in and out over the ridge.

Fog, surf, and endless sky

Just down the hill, the town gives way to two miles of open sand — where the marine layer rolls in over the headlands, surfers wait for the next set, and the Pacific puts on a different show every evening.

Hillside quiet, five minutes from the sand

The Village and Hill

A quiet residential pocket above town, with private garden spaces and easy parking — a peaceful base just steps from Stinson's main strip. Nearby eucalyptus groves are a seasonal home to migrating monarch butterflies.

Beach & Trails

About a five-minute walk to Stinson Beach and its two miles of sand and surf. The Matt Davis trailhead and Mt. Tamalpais are an easy reach for hikers, with sweeping ocean views and a look out over the Bolinas Lagoon along the way.

Stinson Beach

A small, charming coastal town with quaint shops, good restaurants, and the Bolinas Lagoon nearby — home to seals, shorebirds, and sweeping bay views. Stinson Beach also has a colorful cultural history, including being home to the Grateful Dead's mail-order ticket office and several musicians from the band's circle decades earlier.
