Open for exchange
Exchange dates Duration
July 03, 2024 - July 16, 2024 12 days

I am looking to exchange in or near Dublin, Ireland. I need to be in Dublin from the 7/10-7/14 and can be flexible before or after those dates. The 4th of July is a very festive day in Bolinas. There is basically an all-day festival with live music and activities throughout the day celebrating American Independence Day. The car is available for Bay Area trips only - please rent a car if you want to drive to Southern California. Los Angeles is about 8 hours away by car.

Small coastal cottage in quaint village of Bolinas, just north of San Francisco, California.

Our West Marin home is small, well-loved, and surrounded by beauty. In a short walk to both the south and west, you will find the Pacific Ocean. To the north you will find the Point Reyes national seashore, and the east Mount Tamalpais, which you will observe from the bed as you enjoy the sunrise over its ridge. With the quiet, natural surroundings, we regularly have wildlife visit us. Our town, Bolinas, is a popular destination from travelers all over the world seeking beauty and artistic personality. It is about an hour drive to San Francisco, and about 1.5 hours to the Napa Valley wine country.

In addition to the main house, we have a small outdoor room with a full-sized bed and electricity. I had thought to use that room as storage for some of our things, but if you need to use it, I could consider a different plan.

The bedroom has a convertible bed. When converted, the room can be used for yoga and a small office space.

There is one official bedroom, as well as a separate small room with a couch that is also a guest twin-sized bed (it has one big, flat cushion designed for sleeping once the back cushions are removed.)

There is a small downtown area in Bolinas with four restaurants (Coast Cafe, Smiley's Saloon, Eleven, and BoVida) as well as two stores which include a local butcher and all organic produce. Additionally, there are two farm stands run by local farmers. There are two museums, a liquor store with an excellent wine selection, and of course the best attraction in town - THE BEACH, which is friendly to beginning surfers! Visitors also enjoy the tennis court, skateboard park, basketball court, and two playgrounds. There are many hiking trails in Bolinas (the most famous is Alamere Falls/Bass Lake trail), as well as in the closest town, Stinson Beach, where you will find a delicious bakery (The Parkside) and several charming shops.
