Great Property & Excellent Host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property had everything we needed, excellent kitchen and comfy beds with a nice view of the bay. The host Margaret really made all the difference, from her recommendations on things to do in the area to her excellent communications - you are dealing with a true Pro here that knows the hospitality business and how to treat her guests in a special way. We look forward to returning in the future.

Love this rental!

We have stayed in many locations in south Bodega Harbor, and this rental is one of our favorites. It has an incredibly well-stocked kitchen, and the views of the ocean and the neighboring wetland are outstanding. All of the beds are comfortable, and it is a perfect place to spend with friends. Highly recommended.

Anniversary Staycation

Margaret's home is exactly as advertised. It was clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We spent three nights here and enjoyed the ocean view and peaceful location of the home. A quick five minute walk to the beach was another added bonus. Thank you Margaret for sharing your home. We hope to be back for another staycation.

Fabulous!

This home has stunning views, it's well appointed and well stocked. We were welcomed with champagne and chocolates and our host Margaret was generous and attentive to our needs on our last day when a major storm blew in. We loved walking down to the beach and returning to sunset views and the cozy fireplace. Oh, and the bed pillows were amazing. Thanks for the wonderfu stay!

Beautiful home, wonderful weekend!

We throughly enjoyed everything about our weekend in Bodega at this beautiful home! The kitchen is heavenly, the three separate bedrooms- each with their own bathroom space. The hot tub! The deck! The view! The fireplace!!!! Really though, the best part might have been the service and kindness shared from the homeowner. We use VRBO often and in Bodega, we tend to use the local property management company, but the service we got this weekend was the best we’ve ever had. She went out of her way for us and it set in motion the most memorable 50th birthday celebration!!! Thank you!!!

Wonderful get away with friends!

This was a perfect home for our friends get away. The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need, we had wonderful views while sitting around the fireplace in the evenings and the hot tub made it even more special. They also had plenty of towels. Margaret left information on local restaurants and wineries which was very helpful, too. The house is located on a hill near the beach so we could walk down to the water for a long walk towards Heron Head. I cannot say enough good things about the property. We'll definitely be back when in the area.

Fantastic location and views here!

Brought my mother who isn’t very mobile to the coast to sit and enjoy the coast from a lap of luxury at the Heron house. Great layout. We all had our very own bathrooms (newly remodeled as well). The kitchen is great, but we chose to eat out the two nights we stayed. Towels were Uber soft. Hot tub with a star showing! Fireplace in the common room! Brought bikes and stored them safely in the garage. Great 3-day trip. Well managed. Would definitely stay again next trip to Bodega.

Lovely Beach House

We really needed a worry-free, cool and comfortable spot for a few days. Boy did we ever find that spot! The reservation and follow-up communication for us to locate and access the house was terrific. And the house is great. Clean, plenty of space for all of us (3 adults, 3 children), well stocked kitchen, good beds. The view is such a treat. And getting down to the beach was simple. It is also located close to the wharf areas in Bodega Bay so visiting them was very easy with little driving. The host, Margaret, was pleasant and informative in all of her communication. I had no doubt if we had a problem needing immediate attention (we didn't) that she'd be right on it to find a solution. We took a vote and it was unanimous for staying here again if the opportunity ever arises. It was worth the fairly long drive for us (from the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento) and every penny spent otherwise.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Zeiger

Host profile image
Margaret and Dave have owned this beautiful house since 2017. Prior to that, they vacationed in Bodega Harbour at Margaret’s parents home since 1984. Their children spent many days exploring the beach and tide pools. They currently reside in the east bay and are busy watching their grandchildren but still find time to enjoy this amazing home.

Why they chose this property

Our beach house is very private as it has three separate bedrooms with baths nearby. The views throughout the house are fantastic. The many skylights bring natural light to the house. It is often referred to as cozy.

What makes this property unique

Our beach house is ideal for a romantic get-away, friends gathering to enjoy each other and it is ideal for families. The house is kid friendly and we have pack-n-plays, high chairs, kids books and toys.

The house is very sustainable with solar energy and EV charger.
