The Ocean Court Motel appears to be a selection of condominiums that are rented out by their owners. So you get a 1-bedroom place with a separate bathroom, a full kitchen, a breakfast area with table and four chairs, a living room with sofa and table, TV with integrated DVD player and a few DVDs, a small landscaped minibackyard, and...

I stayed here with my wife and daughter on a vacation from England. We were recommended it by a chap I met in a bar in San Francisco. It was the best tip I have ever had. Stinson Beach is just one of the nicest, most relaxing places you can visit. The whole place is small, cool and laidback rather... More

After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, both my wife and I had some serious expectations on this accommodation and location. So we drive into Stinson Beach and while it's 95F in S CA, its foggy and a cold 58F here. Is this summer in San Francisco or winter in S CA?? The beach was a 5 minute or 1/4 mile... More

Stayed for 4 days and found it very relaxing. Short walk from both restaurants, very spacious and clean. We ended us losing a key during our stay and the owners were very gracious and understanding about. Went to the Napa Valley the day after and were homesick for Stinson Beach and the Ocean Court. Definitely recommend.

This place shines! The rooms are spacious, clean and friendly. Close to the beach, food and drinks without being on the main drag. The owners are more then helpful with anything one might need and have suggestions as to where to go in the area. Friendly cats, movies to watch and popcorn to eat too! A must visit when in... More

This motel was recommended by friends and it lived up fully to its reputation. Very friendly and helpful owners who were'there' but never intrusive, spacious accommodation which was quirky and full of character, excellent food on the doorstep, magnificent beach, and a resident friendly 'yellow' cat.

My wife and I just returned from an extremely enjoyable two-night stay at the Ocean Court. As some of the other posters have mentioned this establishment is a cluster of small apartments located conveniently near the beach and the three eating/drinking establishments in Stinson Beach. Some of the units have been sold, so there is a limited amount of units... More

This very neat and quiet motel-type facility is actually composed of mini-apartments (living/dining/kitchen and separate bedroom) all for $140 a night for 2 or $170 for 4 (on a weekend in June!). It's true that some units are for sale as condos but the owners (really helpful folks who lent us a mixer for a party we were having at... More
