Oceanfront and oh so charming, Sunset Escape is ready to welcome you with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and all of the comforts of home. As soon as you step foot inside, you will be greeted by a bright interior flooded with natural light, high-sned furnishings in each room, and white exposed ceilings that really give this space a beachy feel. Each day can start with a cup of coffee on the furnished deck as you listen to the waves crash in the near distance.

Beautiful but disappointing

First I want to say that my family and I take several vacations throughout the year and stay in home rentals. Also I have stayed in this rental before 2.5 years ago. Unfortunately this rental has not been kept up over this time period. Pros: The view! This is the best feature about this rental, but it is amazing. We enjoyed each day and evening watching sunsets either on the front deck or in the front room chairs. It is fairly well stocked on pots, pans, silverware, plates and cups. Cons: First you enter through the back door electronic dead bolt, not the front door. Went to open the front door to bring all of our stuff in and it would only open halfway. I understand with old houses they swell in the winter with rain, however this was not communicated to be a problem or being addressed. The handle itself was very hard to open and my elderly mother could not open it on her own. This posses a fire danger not being able to go out the front door away from the house. The deck had parts where the planks were lifting and also another hazard. The front chairs inside the home were very stained, as were some of the towels and washcloths. Only bare minimum paper products were provided and were very low quality. The floors need seriously tlc. It would be nice to have an actual glass to enjoy wine or a cocktail, not a mug or plastic cup. Are these things nitpicky? Yes, but at this price this is no longer 5 stars. Also Vacasa was no help when I alerted them to these issues.

Sunset Escape

We truly did enjoy our stay here. The beds were comfy, nice little den to watch tv and the separate living area with the amazing ocean and sunset view made it exceptional. The location made it handy to explore beaches, come back make lunch and head out again. We would come again. Thank you for having us stay in your home.

Gorgeous view!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for our honeymoon. The house is GORGEOUS! We checked in around sunset so we literally saw the sunset over the ocean from the big glass window. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom has a lot of room, and I loved the updated appliances. Check in process was a little difficult but we did figure it out. Nearest grocery store is 30 minutes no matter the direction so definitely shop on the way in.

Sad not coming Back!

The one thing that kept on bringing us back is the view and the four chairs out front on the deck. We truly love sitting there for hours and seriously hours in the sun, listening to the waves watching the ocean. It was absolutely beautiful and very, very serene.

Great location, ocean views

We loved the location of the house. Being able to see the ocean was a real plus. The home is comfortable including the beds. The air conditioner struggled at times, but we would open the door to let cool air in. Kitchen is a little dated but well stocked. Overall, we had a great stay

Comfy beach house getaway

Really loved this place. Perfect, unobstructed view of the ocean. Even though right on the freeway, it was very quiet. Away from the crowds but less than 10 minutes to the heart of Bodega Bay restaurants and activities. Very comfortable accommodations with everything you need for a perfect getaway. Great place to go to relax and watch the waves crash on the rocks.

Worst storm ever

The first code they gave us didn’t work. There were no lights on the outside. Front door wouldn’t open cupboards under the sink wouldn’t close and then we got a leak in the roof spent less than 30 hours there had to turn around and come home in the worst storm ever. We have stayed there before and it was absolutely perfect. That’s why we came back. We will definitely come back. I’m sure everything will be fixed.

Loved the 180 degree ocean view & the waves were amazing after a storm. Enjoyed having a real fire in the fireplace. Decor is great. Kitchen could use a little organizing….everything’s there, just have to hunt for it. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

First off Vacasa is an amazing service org with great people focused on out of this world service. 2nd, this spot was the best vacation spot I've ever had, with amazing views, comfortable, clean and well appointed location, and their app should be the benchmark for vacation rental apps everywhere. Thank you soo much for delivering on an amazing stay. 3rd, the location: ok ok comfortable beds that don't feel 100 years old - check!! In house amenities that don't make regret ever leaving home like a clean shower and bathroom, good water pressure, amazing internet, bug free everything. Whaaaat!!! Easy a pie to find, check in and check out.. where have you been all my life people!!.. thanks again, for being amazing..

Of course the view was amazing! Can't beat that. Being so close to the highway there is some noise and traffic but not a night or early morning. Sunsets are GORGEOUS! The electric kettle did not work, an ice maker would be terrific, but other than that, no complaints!

Great view

Great view and the sunset was a real treat! The place was clean and well appointed. Unfortunately the stove was out of order. I really would have liked to have been notified ahead of time as there was a note indicating it broke about 2 weeks ago. We had to make other plans for dinner, which was an inconvenience. Also, the exterior lights do not work. There is a dawn/dusk light that doesn’t work. Also the string lights have nothing to plug into.

The views were breathtaking. The floors were not clean and there were very few blankets in the home. A few appliances did not work. Other than that it was a lovely stay, and I would stay again.

Great view, beautiful sunsets

Loved sitting on the deck with a glass of wine, watching the sunset. Great home, very peaceful and quiet. You're right on HWY 1 but it's not a bother at all. Some birds in the atrium area, fluttering around our heads as we came in, and had left a lot of poop at the entrance. Not much you can do about it, the place is known for birds right? :) Adirondack chairs on the patio were great for sitting. Nice couch in front of the TV to relax at night. Air fryer, toaster, fridge, freezer. Walk across the street and down to Carmet Beach. Some notes: Cleaners should wipe off the windows, there were lots of smudges from previous vacationers' dogs. There were 2 dvd players, but incompatible cables with the TV so you can't actually watch either. There are Blu ray discs but no blu ray player. LG Smart TVs but no remote so you can't actually use them to stream media. We tried to use the oven - the gas came on but it didn't light, so the place smelled like gas for a bit. We were able to use the air fryer, but it should be looked at. None of these things detracted from our stay significantly, we had a great time.
