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.

Nice Stay Here
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.
