Very cute and cozy place! We made sure to save the information because we plan to come back. Perfect location.We only had one hiccup which probably doesn’t happen to often, but due to the high winds we lost power. So I would suggest brining flashlights because eventually your cell phone power dies!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Fisherman's cottage. We love Salmon Creek and enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the charming Cape Cod style decorations. The host left the lights and music on for our arrival which was very welcoming. You can't beat the proximity to the beach which is just a few minutes walk from the house. We would love to have a return visit to this charming cottage by the sea!

We’d absolutely love to host you again for another relaxing getaway at the cottage by the sea!

Cute inside and great location. Walking distance to beach. When we walked into home the fire/furnace was on that made it very inviting. However, no instructions on how to turn off. Followed a 3x5 index card that was for the cleaners in the binder but still would not turn off. Place got very hot and windows do not open so had to open doors. Do not leave any food on counters because the ants will come. Provided coffee but no cream or sugar. States they have kayaks but I wouldn’t trust them and difficult to get to them.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was lovely. I would suggest getting the ant issue and spider issue under control as there were a lot of both. Also, for my ESA (registered with the VA) I would suggest letting dog owners know that the nearby beach as well as the three beaches north are not dog friendly.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 December 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for staying with us. We’re glad to hear you found the home lovely, and we truly appreciate you letting us know about the issues you experienced. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the ants and spiders. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we’ve already shared this with our pest control team so it can be addressed promptly. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the local beach information for dog owners. That’s very helpful feedback, and we will work on making that information clearer in our guest materials so future guests traveling with pets — including those with emotional support or service animals — can better plan their outings. Thank you again for your valuable input. It helps us improve, and we hope we’ll have another opportunity to provide you with a more seamless stay in the future.

Due to proximity to the ocean doors were sticking and door and gate hardware was corroding but I think that would be expected. The cabin, fireplace, furniture, dishwasher, excellent wi-fi and easy walk to the beach and Salmon Creek are all positives. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also another positive is the easy drive to restaurants and shops.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the cabin, the fireplace, furniture, and all the other amenities and that the easy walk to the beach and peaceful neighborhood made your stay even better. It’s also great to hear you found the location convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and shops. You're absolutely right, the salty ocean air does tend to take a toll on hardware over time, and we really appreciate you pointing that out. We’ll continue to stay on top of those maintenance details to keep everything in great shape. Thanks again for staying with us! We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy and the kitchen was convenient. I highly recommend kayaking on the Russian River. We had a fantastic tour guide and there were very few people around so we got to enjoy the wildlife. Being from Wisconsin, we have always poked fun at the California Happy Cow commercials. It turns out that the cows in Sonoma County do appear happy. I can't yet vouch for the rest of your beautiful state.
