Amazing Get Away!

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house! It was abundantly clear that the owner takes great care into creating a great experience for their guests. The house was perfectly stocked to anticipate all our needs and much more. The beds were so comfortable and the house was immaculate. Not to mention the beautiful view! I can’t say enough about much we enjoyed our stay.

The Great Escape

This beach house has sweeping views of the ocean and you cannot beat the location. Literally a walk across the street and down a path to the sand. This house has everything plus so many extras and just thoughtful items. The owner is kind and accessible. Such a good relaxing time.

This is the best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in. Nina the host was so informative and helpful and available. The house is so thoughtfully decorated and designed.

OMGosh where do I start…we have always looked at this neighborhood and talked about how awesome the location is. This is the first time we have actually stayed here and this home made our stay even better than we imagined. The home was very clean, beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms were beyond well stocked. Internet was good and our Verizon cell phone had no trouble. The communication with the host was exceptional, even on the holiday. We are already planning our next trip here.

Absolutely blown away by this beautiful vacation home! Absolutely pre-stein! The view is priceless, location amazing, and the house itself perfect! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate my son's send off to the Air-Force. It brought our family together for the most amazing unforgettable vacation together! Thank you so much for such a wonderful place! I am already trying to plan our next vacation stay there!

Perfect Getaway

The beach house is very clean, homey, comfortable, full of ammenities, and supplies. It's perfect for a large family, group of people, or a couple. It has large and clean windows to see beautiful Schoolhouse Cove. The bed we used was more comfortable than our Tempurpedic! We didn't want to leave! If you stay during cold weather, bring space heaters for the bathrooms. The rest of the house is very comfortable with the use of modern split level heat and airconditioners.

Right on the cliffs, Everything you could want

The photos are accurate - you really have this cliff-side view of the ocean for whale watching or crashing wave watching, right from your window or patio chair. Huge windows from all front rooms let you dream away watching waves as you have breakfast, listen to the TV, read on the patio or chat over sodas and chips. The owners have stocked everything you could ever want in the drawers, cupboards and closets, from cooking condiments to soaps to games and books to Keurig coffee fixin’s to utensils and dishware. They haven’t forgotten flashlights, binoculars, extra batteries and lovely conversation-piece decor. Large rooms, separate temperature controls, comfy beds, new furniture. I enjoyed the high stools at the bar at one end of the living room where I could watch the waves and the cable movies at the same time while I ate my take-out chowder and bbq ribs. We didn’t bring our dog this time, but there is ample space for potty breaks. The owner spoke by phone when I had questions, a very pleasant and happy person, humble about her wonderful property. We felt safe, comfortable and as at-home as you possibly could. Just a few minutes’ drive down to Bodega Bay for shopping, whale tours and dining, and maybe 15-20 minute drive up to Jenner for more beautiful shops and coastal scenery. I can’t think of a thing I’d change about this spacious and scenic home.
