Nice Place!
Very charming cottage— our dog loved the yard. I think it would be a great place for a family with young kids— the 2nd bedroom was adorable!My husband and I never actually walked to the beach from the house. There were large sand dunes to cross, plus construction going on. But it was an easy drive to numerous other nice beaches.

The perfect getaway
This home was just what i needed. So quiet, you could hear the roar of the ocean. So out of the way, you can see a sky full of stars. Yet a 5 minute walk to the ocean. Miles of beach. Miles of dunes then only 5 minute drive to Bodega bay trail cove. Another amazing ocean experience. And Bodega Head, a casual hike for amazing views of the ocean, Bodega bay and our bea California hill scape. The home is lovely. Comfortable, cozy and clean! Private with everything you may need. A breath of fresh air. And... a wonderful conscience, attentive host!I will be back!

Dunes and Cypress in Your Backyard
Great first impression upon arrival, all set up like a welcoming home ready for guests. Kids loved the stuffed doggies in their room, location in the neighborhood walking out the back gate onto the sand was magical, and grew to appreciate many other little charms of what's not the newest beach house, but plenty comfortable!

Weekend of Zen!
Took my pups for the weekend to see the coast. This property was just what I was looking for. More than pet friendly, my dogs were in heaven exploring the gigantic fenced in yard, walking the trails behind the back gate, and sleeping so comfy they snored. The house was so comfortable, welcoming, cozy, clean, completely self-contained, with beautiful window views and plenty to do inside though it rained outside all weekend. I slept to the sound of the ocean and slept so peacefully. Property contact was wonderful to work with and so helpful. I cannot wait to go back again and enjoy this peaceful place, especially the wonderful yard and wind chimes. Thank you! Dawn, Harry, and LillyButt

Quiet and clean
The property is clean but could use some TLC. The house was comfortable. The comments on the views of ocean and short path to the beach did not prove to be true. Yes, you could have good views and a path if you hiked over the dunes to get to the ocean, not easy done by someone who’s just had a total knee only disappointment to the weekend.

Too cute for words!
Property is clean and adorable. Water delivery service, mud room and fenced yard is definitely a plus. Short walk out back door to Salmon beach (awesome beach but not pet friendly)Centrally located, just a short drive in either direction to nature walks, beaches and stores. Will definitely be planning another stay at this property.

We enjoyed our stay as we were able to bring our pups with us. The location is great with a water way nearby. With just minor questions upon our arrival Jennifer/Owner was very quick to respond as well as communicating any concerns or questions we had. Would like to revisit this VRBO again and enjoy the area even more.

Unacceptable problems
The following serious problems (not evidenced on the VRBO listing) were so problematic that we did not stay there for more than 10 minutes after checking out the accommodations: - no safe place to park - lights in hallway unwired and/or burned out - lights in main bedroom very dim - Could not access channel listing ( and therefore could not watch anything) on TV

Much needed R&R
We’ve just finished two and a half years of caregiving for and passing of my mother, we needed a peaceful place to rejuvenate our batteries, Jennifer was very kind and accommodating, her property is charming and very peaceful. Our pups enjoyed the fully fenced yard, they loved being off leash. We’re looking forward to visiting again in the future.

We had a truly lovely stay at this beach house. It had everything we needed and a ton of charm--just perfect. The location cannot be beat: we loved walking on the sand dunes right out the back gate and wandering over to the beautiful beach just a few minutes away. We hope to be back next year!

Beautiful Bodega
I had planned this long weekend getaway with my sister who ended up getting Covid from an international flight home. So I ended up going by myself and enjoying this amazing property and location. It's perfect for a family however... lot's of room inside and out. Great location! 2 minute walk to the beach right behind you. I love Bodega for the tide pooling and boy did I score! Lot's of amazing starfish, anemone's and otters. Communication with the host was great. She was incredibly helpful with suggestions and making sure I had everything I needed. I will be back!!

recent stay in Salmon Creek
We enjoyed our 5 night stay in Salmon Creek. The house was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. We loved the outdoor space- a real plus for our dog. The house is close to many good places to eat if you feel like hopping in the car. We have been to Bodega Bay and Salmon Creek many times; we will plan to return to this home again.
