About this property

Mid-Century Bolinas Oceanfront - Spa, Glass Walls + 2 Acres

  • The Property

    Set on nearly two private oceanfront acres in Bolinas, this distinctive mid-century modern home combines significant architecture, panoramic Pacific views, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living.

    Designed in the early 1960s by Bay Area architect Edward B. Page, the home is believed to be the only Bolinas residence he designed.

    Two dramatic 16-foot retractable glass walls open the primary living spaces directly to the deck and Pacific Ocean, allowing the house to function as a true indoor-outdoor coastal home.

    The five-bedroom retreat accommodates up to 10 guests and includes an ocean-view spa, firepit, large fully fenced yard, game room, pool table, multiple dining areas, and easy access to Bolinas Beach and town.

    With multiple gathering spaces and three separate dining areas, the property is especially well suited to multi-generational family stays, creative retreats, leadership offsites, and small corporate retreats within the 10-guest occupancy.

    Mid-Century Architecture

    Architecture is one of the defining features of this property.

    Two approximately 16-foot retractable glass walls open the main living spaces completely towards the ocean.

    When open, the boundaries between the house, deck, lawn, and Pacific largely disappear.

    The home’s clean lines, natural materials, expansive glass, and relationship to the surrounding landscape reflect classic California mid-century design.

    Great Room

    The main level combines the family room, dining area, and kitchen into an open space facing the Pacific.

    The retractable glass walls allow the great room to open directly to the deck and ocean.

    A wood-burning fireplace provides a cosy focal point on cooler coastal evenings.

    Dining & Gathering

    This home is particularly well suited to guests who enjoy cooking, dining, and spending time together.

    There are three major group dining areas:

    Indoor dining table — seats up to 10

    Oceanfront deck dining table — seats up to 8

    Large oceanfront picnic table — seats up to 14

    The oversized picnic table is an especially memorable place for casual lunches, family meals, and sunset dinners overlooking the Pacific.

    The combination of these spaces also works very well for family gatherings, creative retreats, leadership offsites, and small corporate retreats that benefit from having multiple places to meet, dine, and spread out.

    Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements

    The home accommodates up to 10 guests across five bedrooms.

    Bedroom 1 — Primary Suite
    King bed, ensuite bathroom, and sweeping ocean views.

    Bedroom 2
    Queen bed with ensuite half bathroom.

    Bedroom 3
    Queen bed with ensuite full bathroom.

    Bedroom 4 — Lower Level
    Queen bed with access to a shared bathroom. This bedroom is on the lower level and can be reached without using stairs.

    Bedroom 5 — Lower Level
    Two single beds with access to the shared bathroom. This bedroom is also on the lower level and can be reached without using stairs.

    All five bedrooms include flat-screen TVs.

    Additional sleeping space is available in the downstairs office and bonus room, but those rooms are not included in the official five-bedroom count.

    Kitchen

    The kitchen is fully equipped for extended stays and group meals.

    Amenities include a Viking gas grill, coffee equipment, microwave, juicer, panini press, food processor, pressure cooker, toaster, and other kitchen essentials.

    The kitchen remains visually connected to the dining area, great room, deck, and ocean.

    Outdoor Living

    The outdoor spaces are a major part of the experience.

    Guests can:

    Relax in the ocean-view spa
    Gather around the firepit
    Dine on the oceanfront deck
    Enjoy meals at the large picnic table
    Lounge on the deck
    Spend time on the large level lawn

    The yard is fully fenced.

    Views extend across the Pacific towards Stinson Beach, Duxbury Reef, and the surrounding Marin coastline.

    Game Room & Entertainment

    The downstairs game room includes:

    Pool table
    Large sectional sofa
    75-inch flat-screen TV
    High-speed Wi-Fi
    Direct access to the yard through another retractable glass wall

    Why This Home Is Different

    This is more than an oceanfront house.

    The Edward B. Page architecture, retractable glass walls, nearly two-acre setting, multiple group dining spaces, spa, firepit, fenced lawn, and walkability to Bolinas create a combination that is difficult to reproduce.

    For guests who value architecture, ocean views, privacy, and gathering space, the home offers an especially distinctive Marin coastal experience.

Everything was perfect! And we had a full moon so got to see the ocean into the night! The disappearing sliding doors made us feel like we were outside all of the time and the weather was perfect and the waves were perfect rollers for the surfers in the group! Bedding and bed comfort in rentals is really important to me and on our last day I was looking for tags so that I could buy them for my own home ;) it was a magical spot for the family gathering and my moms 85th birthday!

Magical house.

I fell in love with Bolinas during my stay in this vibey, peaceful house. My only complaint is that I was there in winter and the house was quite chilly. Had to keep a fire going the whole time or I froze. Everything else was perfect.

The Most Epic View On The Planet

First, about the rating. We stayed during an epic storm that tested the house's coziness factor. A more accurate rating would have been: during gale force winds and snow, the property deserves a 3. On a normal day, a 4.5. The property management team was A+. I messed up the arrival date: SOLVED. A couple of other minor and major issues: SOLVED. IMMEDIATELY. Very happy with their response. The house itself was fairly typical for an older beach house. It was perfect for what it is, but if you want modern, this may not be for you. Two things some people might have issues with: •The house is very much slanted. You walk uphill from one side to another. It’s not horrible, but watch out when opening drawers in the kitchen. Management has said they’ll be leveling the floors. •It is a narrow and steep staircase to enter. Older folks may have an issue with heavy/bulky bags. But the view. THE VIEWS!! Seriously. You may enjoy different views in a lot of places, but you’ll never find anything more breathtaking. Wow!!!! Epic. Kitchen has a great collection of pots and pans. Not quite a gourmet kitchen, but quite well stocked and up there with any rental. Pantry items were not awesome and could have used a re-fresh. Big fridge and freezer. Plenty of bowls/plates/glasses/knives (sharp!) and silverware. Fireplace is on point and easy to use. Hot Tub is clean, gets hot quickly and was the best place to chill and watch whales. The bathtub outside seems more fitted for a cool bath, not a hot soak. It took 2 hours to fill. Overall the property was really nice.

A NIGHTMARE

From the outset, this property was a major disappointment and never got better. There are several problems that need attention, which were not disclosed in the pictures or written description on the property website. For instance: 1. It appears that the pictures on the website are many years old and do not show the house in its current condition, with worn and outdated furniture, poor lighting, heating, and bathrooms. 2. There is no mention of a long, narrow, dark staircase (with uneven, inconsistent risers, which are likely against building codes) from the front door to the main level, which requires the guests to carry everything up to the living area. 3. Unlike other rental properties, there is no informative book on the premises describing its amenities, such as how to operate appliances, how to take the hot tub cover off (which we were unable to do), emergency numbers, etc. 4. Several of the living room, kitchen, and bedroom windows would not close completely, which created cold drafts throughout the house through the entire stay. The windows allowed rain to pour in onto the sills, electrical outlets, and heaters below the windows. 5. We immediately contacted the owner/agent about the window problems and rain coming into the house,y at the latest, but no one arrived. 6. The power went out on the first full day of our stay. We had no hot water, no lights, no heat, and no use of any appliance. We had to forego the fireplace for heat because the drafts were so strong sparks came flying out of it. With only flashlights for light and no assistance from the owner, we spent the entire stay wrapped in jackets and blankets. 7. The flue on the very old fireplace kept closing on its own and would not stay open. 8. Because the house was uninhabitable due to the lack of power, we left early and requested reimbursement of the unconscionable, hefty price we had paid for this supposed luxury home. The owner has refused to honor this contractual obligation. Despite others' positive reviews about the house, the house is truly over-priced for the total lack of service and comfort the renter receives.

This is a great beach house, just north of the town of BOLINAS. The house is as described and has been updated throughout and very well maintained. It’s also very well amen and for us as a family that loves to cook while we’re together, the kitchen was very well equipped.The deck space overlooking the ocean and south with views of the city on a clear day is spectacular. Take advantage of every sunset.We would highly recommend this house and we rented a lot of houses on the northern coast this by far would be one of the nicest. It would be great if there were additional stemmed wine, glasses, and tumblers.

Perfect VRBO

This is the best rental we've ever had. The house has stunning views, is well appointed and the location is walkable to town, but feels completely remote! I highly recommend this property if it's available! The fireplace inside was so nice to have and you just can't get over the sounds and views of the ocean. What a treat.

The View

When you enter the home, and walk up the flight of stairs, you will be welcomed by one of the Best Views in Bolinas! Stunning. We had Clear skies, comfortable beds, and a warm working hot tub, which helped us all to quickly relax, and enjoy our long weekend. The weather in November delivered, as well as the service from the host, as we were provided great communication and easy access to the property. The home is supplied with ample amenities, including but not limited to, plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. This uniquely architected cliff side beach house will be appreciated by adults. The fireplace warmed the house and the outdoor bathtub warmed our souls. If you enjoy cooking, you will appreciate the well stocked kitchen and enjoy a sunset view while doing the dishes after. Plenty of private outdoor spaces around the property to break away, have a good one on one talk, or just kick back and read a book. There is a plenty of parking spaces at the top of the driveway, and we preferred leaving the cars there and walking to the beach (public access stairs are just a few yards down the street.) After your beach time, I recommend stopping at the Museum, meet Keith Hansen, and discover the local bird scene. Across the street you will find Smiley's Saloon, where the drinks are cold and the food is better than expected. Enjoy. ☮️❤️
