Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you found the home cozy, beautiful, and well-equipped with everything you needed. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and are delighted that you had a wonderful trip. We hope to host you again in the future!
Breaking waves is a perfect place to just unwind and relax. We walked in the door and jazz piano music was playing and then you see the breathing taking view of Bodega bay. We really did not want to leave. We will be back soon. It will be our new getaway spot. The house itself had everything you need from the kitchen to entertainment. The beds were very comfortable. A great snack basket and even a fun art project were waiting in the kitchen to welcome us. It is a definite 10!

Hi David! Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed the home and the view, it truly is spectacular. We truly look forward to hosting you again.
Love the living area with the big windows. Well stocked kitchen. Appreciate that both bedrooms had ocean views. Very comfortable couches & beds. Easy walking distance to Dillon Beach resort/Coastal kitchen.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the living space, ocean views, and the comfort of the home. It’s great to hear the kitchen had everything you needed and that the location made it easy to explore Dillon Beach. We’d love to host you again for another relaxing coastal getaway!
House was clean though the kitchen countertop by the sink needs to be replaced. The gate going to the BBQ needs to be fixed....it is almost falling off & creates a safety issue.Views are fantastic
Perfect!!!! Comfortable peaceful and WOW THE VIEWS!!!!!! I only wish I booked this for longer.Only critique is the 10am checkout was too early. For the cost, 12pm would be more realistic.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Breaking Waves! It is a wonderful location on the bluff above the Sea.
King size beds would be great but I'm afraid the owner thinks they would be too big for the rooms. :-)
We look forward to hosting you again

Breaking Waves was a cozy open floor plan with huge windows to enjoy the beautiful Tomales Bay, Point Reyes area, and Bodega Bay. Convenient to a lot of activities and Napa / Sonoma wine country. Highly recommended.

We love bringing our family to Breaking Waves and have stayed here multiple times. The views and coziness are perfect for recharging with the kids. Board games, TV, cooking and walks on the beach make for a perfect coastal getaway!
