Perfect Family Reunion

The house is perfectly located for exploring the Bodega Bay area. The open layout of the dining, kitchen and living room area was very comfortable and functional for our group of 7 adults to hang out in. Being within walking distance of the beach from several approaches (via the south end of Doran beach and Pinnacle Gulch trails) was extra wonderful. Thank you for helping to make our family reunion a memorable event. 3

Excellent property for a family stay!

My family of 10 and I had a wonderful weeks vacation in this beautifully located rental. Quiet cul de sac, great for the kids riding bikes. Close access to walking trails with beautiful views. Everyone enjoyed playing ping pong and pool! Kayaking is only a few minutes away, which was the highlight of our vacation. Our family would definitely come back to this property. The owner was very accessible to our needs.

Beautiful weekend in Bodega Bay

Light-filled, spacious home in a lovely neighborhood

Our family loved our stay. The house is a short walk to a path to the beach, a short drive to another bigger beach for fishing and crabbing. The house itself was very clean, well-equipped, spacious, and offered views from the many windows and decks. We would love to return for a future visit.

Everything we needed

Beautiful home. Very well stocked kitchen. Lots of room to spread out. Communication with owner was great. Clean. Slightly dated but that didn’t matter to us. The only minor problem was the BBQ was difficult to control, we couldn’t get low setting to work. It would work on high but when we tried to turn it to low it would shut off. Overall it was a great home and we really enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!

Love the bright, open areas and huge kitchen! My favorite spot was the 2 lounger chairs and ottomans in front of the windows! The bedrooms and beds were comfortable. The downstairs felt a little damp (maybe benefit from damp-rid?) and the towels were rough to touch. Otherwise, we would stay again!

Birthday celebration with family

The location of the property was great. Very large house that was perfect for 7 adults. There were a few things that could warrant the attention of the owner. The hot tub needed attention and could use with a good cleaning. Overall, the property was good, but could do with an updating of the couches in the family room.

lovely!

The house was clean, well-appointed, and fun for all! We loved the hot tub, the ping pong table, the pool table - made for competitive games! The walk to the beach is a little longer than advertised, but beautiful. We didn't have use of the washing machine which was tough with kids, and no soap in the showers or tub - we bought some. Just one bath towel per person, with no washing machine, was a challenge. But all in all it was a wonderful stay, one which we can recommend highly!

About the host

Hosted by Don Munger

Host profile image
I grew up in Sonoma County and have always loved our beautiful coastline. My wife and I greatly enjoy spending time in the outdoors, exploring California from the beaches to the mountains. With our three children off to college and an empty nest, we decided to buy a home in Bodega Harbour South. We fell in love with this beautiful property and have had a lot of fun making it a comfortable, homey place to stay. When we retire we look forward to having our children and grandchildren spend time with us at this wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

This property gives you immediate access to all the Bodega Coast has to offer. For golfers, the 13th tee is right outside the backyard. Doran Beach is a short easy walk along a quiet road right out the front door, less than a mile, with easy access. Pinnacle Gulch & Short-tail Gulch trails take you down to the ocean and back on a wonderful 3-mile hike from your front door. This is a perfect gateway to all of Sonoma County, minutes from the surrounding coastal beaches, the Russian River and all of the wine country.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, spacious, and wonderful views make it the perfect place to relax with the whole crew.
