Three Courtyard Gardens at Stinson Beach Motel

Garden SceneThe Stinson Beach Motel features a beautiful collection of flowering shrubs. Our star attraction is a bright red bougainvillea that is in bloom for 6 months from May through October. This giant is 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide and is located in the first courtyard opposite room #1. Our giant Philodendron is 7 feet wide and 7 feet tall and is located next to the second arched trellis. This second arch way features a huge flowering purple clematis which blooms October thru March. As we enter our second courtyard we are greeted by a beautiful pink fuchsia and ten reclining deck chairs to relax in. From here it is easy to smell the towering star jasmine which arches over the entrance to room #3. A lovely pink bougainvillea also arches over this doorway. We have a big yellow African daisy at the doorway of room #6 and a big pink Geranium next to room #8. bright red bougainvilleaThis second courtyard branches and travels down a path alongside an unbelievable 15 foot wide pink fuchsia which has climbed to 8 feet high. It really is a beauty. At the end of the path is a large old Ichium tree with dozens of flowering purple cones. Another branch off the second courtyard takes you to our rear courtyard with its trellis's towering with purple Morning Glories 12 feet high. Because everything grows so well here at Stinson Beach no matter which month of the year you visit something is always in bloom.
