With two beautiful beaches within a few minutes' stroll and a private hot tub overlooking the ocean awaiting your return, this inviting home just north of Bodega Bay offers a tranquil, memorable experience on the Northern California Coast.

Step inside to find a living space with travertine and hardwood floors, windows that run the length of the house, and lovely views of the Pacific Ocean. The living room features a wood-burning stove, a flatscreen TV mounted above the hearth, and comfortable sofas to sink into after a day spent beachcombing. There's plenty of room to cook in the kitchen, as well as ample space to dine at the eat-in table, in the eight-person dining room, and outside on the expansive deck with a gas grill and a view of the water. As the sun begins to set, it's the perfect time to soak in the hot tub on the raised portion of the deck, gather around the outdoor firepit in the yard, or move into the recently added family room to mix cocktails at the bar and find a game or a movie to watch on the second flatscreen TV. And with two Pack 'N Plays, two booster seats, a washer/dryer, and an assortment of toys, this home is sure to bring comfort and ease to guests of all ages.

What's nearby:

Great location and can see the ocean from the back deck

We stayed here as a little family getaway. The hot tub under the stars with the sound of the ocean was a hit with my kids. The location was great for getting to the beaches. We had a wonderful time for our new years getaway.

Great Beach House

This is an amazing beach house with ocean views out of every window. The house is open and spacious with a large kitchen. There are two living areas which is perfect for families with children. The outside deck is huge and the hot tub is set up on the higher deck for optimal ocean viewing. The backyard is fenced in and also huge. Great for dogs. Highly recommend this rental property.

We had a wonderful time and found the accommodations tom be outstanding. The staff was excellent and attentive. Only challenge was using the lock-box to gain entry to the house. The difficulty was due to my not properly entering the code into the system causing a problem. The staff was very patient is working with me to resolve this issue. Overall outstanding!

Ocean View w/Lovely Big Deck

The property was clean and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. The best part of the property was the beautiful view. At one point I tried to contact the Property Manager and just got voice mail jail. It would have been nice to have a binder with instructions at the property. I did read all the other instructions but it is convenient to have instructions at the property. A generic list of stuff to do was sent on the day of checkout telling us to strip sheets off the bed which we did and to load the dishwasher which there wasn't one. We also emptied all the waste baskets. There should be specifics for each property not a generic list. We had a good time and escaped 100+ degree weather.

Not handicap accessible. Dirt. Ants.

Asked if it was handicap accessible and was told yes. There are multiple steps into a winding front door; bathroom on main floor is not up to ADA standards to get into the bathroom, let alone to the toilet. Threshold onto deck also quite a steep for electric wheelchair. None of the bedrooms were wide enough to get a chair next to the bed to transfer. Folded back comforter and muddy dog prints everywhere. Ants throughout the kitchen cabinets and counter. Otherwise, eclectic house without a dishwasher. Amazing deck and sea weeded grass yard that is huge but muddy from fog. Quiet neighborhood. Nice views from deck and hot tub.

Better than the pictures. Kitchen needs an update.

I booked this cottage for two nights for four adults and two children hoping for a cozy and clean oceanside stay. Overall, it met my expectations. The house is roomy, much larger than the pictures make it seem. The bedrooms were tidy, linens were comfortable. Bathrooms were spotless. I appreciated the dove brand shampoo and conditioner. The proximity to the closest beach was convenient. The hot tub was clean and wonderful and provided almost a 180° view of the ocean. The sizable backyard allowed my kiddo to play freely. Concerns: The kitchen is begging for a renovation. The countertops in the kitchen are outdated and this unit does not have a dishwasher. The couches were slightly stained and had long white dog hair on them. When I reached out to Vacasa cleaning service, they apologized, but they did nothing to rectify. I realize this property is dog friendly, and dog hairs here or there is excusable, but what we saw was copious amounts of hair. The cleaning crew should be vacuuming the furniture between guests. I opened some windows to air out the unit and inquired with Vacasa , where the thermostat was so as to not waste energy from heating the place with the windows open. When I reached out to ask where the thermostat was, they told me that the unit was not equipped with central heating and air. We ended up finding a thermostat between the living room in the kitchen behind a door. This response made me feel like Vacasa did not have a good understanding of this unit. Tips: There’s a coffee maker and Keurig here. BYOCoffee as there is no complimentary coffee in the kitchen. Like I said, all in all: 4/5 stars. We will stay here again.

Overall good stay

The gas bbq was not working which caused us to have to replan dinner last minute, we also had several people constantly knocking on the door asking about the owners of the house. We would have preferred to not be bothered. Overall it was a good stay, house appliances are a little outdated.

Cozy Carmet

This home has a beautiful view, great yard for dogs and a great location to beaches. It needs the maintenance issues to be taken care of and a company that is more responsive. Called on broken coffee pot 6:30 first morning. Called 3x before a call back 2 days later. Many other issues taken care of and this would be a 5 star house.

Review

This place is a dump. Termite in kitchen, dirty dishes, grimy, crusty, sticky. No instructions for anything. Sliding screen door fell out of track. No facial tissue. Garage is horrible. Don’t look behind the washer dryer. Vacasa should be out of business for price gouging for this horrible residence. I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy if I had one.

Wonderful property! Will be back!

Had a really great long weekend staying in this home. The house is in a great location, was very clean, and well stocked with the essentials. The view from the patio and living room is fantastic. There is a small turnout about 50 yards up Hwy 1 and there is beach access from that turnout but it's a little treacherous. The larger parking lots north and south have better beach access. Bedrooms were large and comfortable. The BBQ grill was left with 2 full tanks of propane. The hot tub was clean and well maintained (the spa cleaner even came when we were there). The host leaves a pile of towels too! One recommendation for people who are driving in is to bring with you the food and beverages you plan on eating. The two little stores about 10 minutes away are very expensive. The first morning I went to buy milk, eggs, hot sauce, and 3 breakfast burritos and it cost $57. The only hiccup was the directions said the lockbox to get the key to open the front door was to the left of the garage. It was actually hanging on the front door itself. Technically the instructions were correct since the front door is left of the garage but we were looking all over immediately left of the garage door so it took about 15 minutes to find it in the dark.

Great location

Nice house, nothing fancy but spacious, on a quiet street just off Highway 1 within easy walking distance to a great dog- friendly beach. We enjoyed the hot tub overlooking the ocean and the two separate living areas, great for family gatherings. Needs a bit of maintenance but the most pressing problem - with a loose kitchen sink faucet - was promptly resolved with the management company.
