We’ve stayed here several times. It’s one of the most romantic places on the planet. It’s quiet and close to beautiful hiking and beach beaches. It’s one of those places you just wanna bring a guitar and a book and spend the whole day just watching the ocean.

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful stay at Sigward’s Muir beach house. The view is stunning, and the beach a short walk down the hill. A memorable experience and highly recommended. Would absolutely stay again.

Serine getaway

We enjoyed our quiet getaway by the ocean. The large deck provided us fresh air and sunshine, much needed by these two busy parents. Great opportunity to unplug and hike the nearby trails.

Relaxing and beautiful

Such a great little get away from our hectic lives. We could unwind while sitting on the balcony overlooking the beach. We loved watching the dogs enjoy their time in the water. Very comfortable and the little inn down the road was a great place to eat. Sigward was a great host and gave us lots of information before our visit to help us enjoy this little gem!

An Amazing Property

My wife and I spent a few days at Sigward’s property to ring in the new year. Sigward was a great host, and was very detailed and quick to respond. The property has amazing views of the beach from the deck. I cannot wait to visit again!

Dreamy

What a special place. We spent our wedding week here and got married at the Pelican Inn, just a few minute walk away. Possibly the most perfect combination of venues on the planet. The house has an unobstructed view of Muir beach and the lush rolling hills in the distance. The house is a little old and the interior reflects that. But overall the charm and location of the property are tough to beat.
