A place guests keep coming back to

Guests describe this as one of the most special places they've stayed, with many returning.
A blissful coastal retreat with unparalled ocean views, the Ocean Parkway House is nestled on a secluded bluff over looking the Pacific. This unique 1960's Bolinas beach house is a spot to truly relax and unwind.

Fully updated with a curated mix of vintage and modern furnishings - our cottage has a mid-century design sensibility with luxuries like Coyuchi towels, a chef's kitchen, Scandinavian fireplace, outdoor rain shower, cedar hot tub, and new heated stone loveseat on the upstairs deck.

The space
There’s so much to enjoy: whether you find yourself taking hikes, lounging on the comfy indoor or outdoor sofas, cooking local produce, reading books, beach combing, playing board games, birdwatching, taking an outdoor rain shower, cuddling by the fireplace, listening to the record player, shucking oysters, surfing, puzzling, tidepooling, napping, hot tubbing, or just view gazing.

Guests can embrace indoor-outdoor living all year long with the spacious redwood decks, a cedar hot tub, outdoor shower and native garden. At 950-square-feet, with two bedrooms, the two-story home can comfortably accommodate one or two couples, a small group of friends, or a family of three or four.

The expansive, unobstructed mountain and ocean views (from the Pacific, to Stinson Beach, to Bolinas Bay, and Mount Tamalpais) will make your jaws drop. There aren’t many spots like this on the California Coast.

Note: If you’re looking for a raucous party house, big family gathering, or hosting a surf safari, the Ocean Parkway House isn’t the right spot for you.

* As of September 2026 Airbnb changed their pricing to put all fees on hosts - so, our listing may look like we've raised our prices but we want to assure our guests that WE HAVEN'T RAISED OUR PRICES IN 5 YEARS. The increase you're seeing is simply a reallocation of Airbnb's 15.5% fees and their unfortunate new fee structure.
