AMENITIES

Privately situated in the surf town of Bolinas just an hour north of San Francisco, the Ocean Parkway House is nestled on secluded bluff overlooking the Pacific, at the end of a quiet street, at the farthest tip of Bolinas Bay. This oceanfront, 1960’s beach house - with epic 180° views of the coast in every room - is a special retreat, a spot to truly relax and unwind.

With a hand-picked mix of vintage and modern furnishing and artwork, mid-century design sensibilities and quiet luxuries like Coyuchi towels and large modern sofas, custom cedar hot tub - plus modern amenities like a chef’s kitchen and high-speed internet (300 mb/s direct fiber connection) - the Ocean Parkway House is suited for an unplugged vacation, surf retreat, or a remote work getaway.

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, 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 views from the upstairs bedrooms, bathroom, and balcony 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.
