We had a wonderful time at Knixs cabin. My family was in town for our annual family vacation, there were three in total, my dad, sister and I. We had a wonderful time exploring the area, walking to the beach every morning, and being so close to oysters bbq's and delicious local wineries. The place is decorated to the nines, with everything you could need, or want. The granola, fresh berries, and coffee beans were a treat!

The other lucky folks who have had the privilege of staying here are absolutely right. Every aspect of this cabin is inviting and intimate. Creature comforts abound at Knixs Cabin! We enjoyed a fire in the wood burning stove while reading and checking in with the ocean through the picture windows. There is a fully stocked kitchen and Mary leaves out fresh berries, milk, and delicious granola. Don't get me started on the bedding! The location completely surpassed our expectations. A short walk from the cabin brings you to beautiful Cypress trees, dunes, and a broad sandy beach. This region has so much to offer. We enjoyed an awesome breakfast sandwich at the Bodega Bay farmers market on Sunday morning and spent a day exploring at Bodega Head. I feel so grateful that we were able to book this cabin. Mary is an extremely thoughtful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely love to return.

Mary's home is absolutely adorable! My friend and I stayed here for one night while exploring the coast, and we didn't want to leave! The house - and Mary - exceeded our expectations. She left fruit, homemade granola (delicious!), milk, coffee, and tea for us to enjoy in the morning, and she had the fire all set up for us. Bed was super comfortable, view was amazing, and location is great. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful cabin! Very cozy and comfortable, just steps away from a beautiful beach; tucked away in a quiet town. Enough around to stay busy, but removed enough to relax. Mary made everything very easy. Great communication, plenty of local information, only wish we could make the trip out that way more often!

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at the cabin. We arrived to a stunning ocean view, and such a cozy space!! Mary was so thoughtful, even the fireplace was ready to go with kindling and logs. Mary left wonderful recommendations on local spots, and we really enjoyed getting to know the area! The cabin had everything we needed and more - our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! Looking forward to returning soon.

My third visit to this beautiful spot and it was every bit as wonderful as the other times. This time I brought two friends along and Mary left some very thoughtful touches to accommodate us - a third chair on the back deck, a third stool in the breakfast nook. I slept on the couch and it was very comfortable. The weather was good but typical of the northern coast in May it was chilly and windy in the evenings.

Mary was so great- she was proactive and responsive with instructions on the house as well as things to do around Bodega Bay. She even had granola, coffee supplies and snacks waiting for us! The house alone is so perfect for a weekend at the California Coast. It's a 5 min scenic walk to the beach, and a 2min drive into Bodega (it's right by the farmer's market there too!). This is one of those perfect Airbnb's - incredibly charming, with a lovely host. We'll be back for another ladies hangout weekend soon- and I want to come back with my husband too!

I had such a lovely experience. The house is quaint and relaxing. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Nancy's home. The place is all it says it will be and more. We will be back.

This place is great..if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable place to just chill out and breathe, consider coming here. The house has everything it says. We are not TV people, so that was not an issue. The Internet is strong as some of us had deal with job related issues. If you are into wood stoves, and like building a real fire, this stove really takes the chill out of air. The area has great restaraunts, a nature preserve, and places to walk along the shore line..the views from the house capture the entire (URL HIDDEN) is awesome..whether you are fogged in or the sun is beaming...you can enjoy it from both inside or on the (URL HIDDEN) is also located an hour or so, in any direction, from vineyards..light houses....Redwood Forests..etc. Nancy was a wonderful host. She was available by phone, email and text to answer any question and/or concern. It is easy to tell that she puts a lot of thought and love into this place...The next time we return to this area, Nancy will be the first person we contact.

An amazing home in a gorgeous part of Northern California! Nancy could not have been a more welcoming host. Can't wait to come back.

This was a great place to stay! The house is very comfortable and well appointed. The view and deck were incredible and the location was quiet, but convenient to the little shops and restuarants in the area. Bodega bay is a cute little town with a great location right by the coast. And the bay itself is beautiful. We saw Otters playing in the bay. We had a fire in the fireplace and enjoyed the games in the house every evening. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Nan was a perfect host: Super-nice and a great communicator — She even let us check in a little bit early (which was much appreciated after a long flight). The house is clean and comfy and has the BEST VIEW of the bay. And most importantly, Nan has a "HOLY-COW-please-don't-make-me-ever-have-to-leave-here" MOST COMFORTABLE BED!!! We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area!

The view from Nancy's is worth every penny! The place sits up higher, overlooking Bodega Bay, in a quiet residential area. It's easy to get to and nicely located, very close to Hwy 1. The nights were quiet and we woke up to deer feeding on the back hills right behind the house each day, and we even saw a fox one morning. Its a family friendly place close to hiking, boat harbors and beaches. Only two bedrooms, but it does have two baths, large well equipped kitchen, dining and living room, plus a ping pong table in the garage which got quite a workout from our boys. It is on a bit of a steep hill. Sitting on the front deck watching boats come in and out all day and night was really cool. The place has no TV, which we liked for a get-a-way, however it did have good WiFi, so you could stay in touch. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the place.

Beautiful home in a terrific location. You could spend all day looking at the view, dear come close to the houae and there is a wonderful beach just a sort walk away. Add the excellent seafood restaurants in Bodega Bay and it is difficult to tear yourself away.

Nan's house is simple but lovely - full of light and air, with a killer view of the bay. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, and the woodstove perfect for the chilly mornings. The walk through the dunes to the beach is a must-do - esp. on a moonlit night. We hope to come back soon!

Carly was a great host, they are a large campground, dude ranch and rooms to let, so she was busy host, but she took time to explain and offer assistance with out arrival. The room had an even better ocean view than shown on their page. It was truly exceptional. A well appointed room, great bathroom and killer ocean view made for a great getaway. Will come back for sure!

pictures are accurate, but view is a long way off. Stayed for 2 nights, nothing special. Had a couple dozen tents right outside our door, so no privacy. fyi-No internet or phone service. Just expected more for the price we paid.

Beautiful views and likely a good deal considering the prices in the area. It's a good place to go if you're not looking for something fancy and don't mind a little campground noise -- as campers set up tents all around the area where the room is located. When we arrived the placed seemed understaffed, although the staff that were there were very nice and trying hard.

Nice place with ocean view, clean and quiet. I would sleep here again.

I loved the ranch! So beautiful. Great location, just off Hwy 1 and near the ocean. My room had a very nice ocean view w chairs and fire pit just outside. It was fun to interact w the horses. I felt safe and comfortable in the cute room. Fairly expensive for a room and bath, but no complaints.

Relaxing off the grid experience

The room is peaceful and client on the ranch. Everyone is very friendly. You can see and hear a lot of the ocean from the porch. Great place to relax.

Excellent place for a night or more (plenty to do on the ranch!) And the hosts are so nice! We did enjoy a long walk on the estate even if it was a foggy morning. Next time we'll stay longer

Our stay at Aquene was short and sweet - great view and private location. We were in town for a wedding so didn't get to spend much time at the house but would be nice for a romantic getaway with no tv/internet.

Secluded location with fantastic views. Pictures are a fair representation of the house. Picking up keys were a breeze, kitchen stocked with all materials needed to cook multiple meals. Loved the fact this place doesn't have internet connection, so nice to disconnect! My family and I loved the getaway and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for some true R&R.

Really breathtaking place to stay with ocean views to one side and hills to the other. House is very well appointed and comfortable. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay on the Sonoma Coast. Looking forward to returning.

The house knocked complete with the photos on the profile. Located in a quiet but nice area where plenty to do and see is (San Francisco is 1.5 hours drive)

Great place to stay in Bodega bay. Cozy, clean, and amazing location.

Thank you pringl, the house was simple, warm and just so tasteful. It made the experience so wonderful. The house is nicely equipped with all that you need to relax and enjoy the wonderful place is located in. The property is just a treasure. The walk to the beach is pleasant and convenient. Pringl was so helpful through out the whole process and always with a quick response to any question. Can't thank you enough, it was a pleasure to be in your home, we would love to come back some day.

Amazing home perched on top of the dunes - the house is absolutely lovely and the views and light are incredible. There are no window coverings so it is quite bright as she mentions definitely bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep in . Kitchen is well stocked , comfy beds and furnishings, hooks only to hang clothes.

We had a fantastic stay at Aquene. My wife and I have 3 young boys and access to the beach allowed us to spend hours exploring and flying kites. The house was very comfortable and the views are amazing. We were stunned by all of the ocean views. The location is very private and remotely situated on the boarder of State Park land. A short drive puts you at the bay where we found all of the essentials needed for a few nights stay. I would encourage anyone to stay at Aquene if you want to experience the surrounding natural setting first hand. A very positive experience.

Amazing place to stay ❤️ hosts are very accommodating

'Just as advertised'...and the AirBnB pictures don't do justice to this lovely cottage and Salmon Creek location.

What a beautiful house! It was so clean and ready for our stay. The little personal notes were so appreciated. The pictures are perfectly accurate. We would stay again in a minute. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The only suggestion I have is to have a cheap pad of paper available on the table. We came from Nebraska and could not shop for groceries before we arrived. I couldn't find anything to write on to create a grocery list and of course, I forgot to bring one! It's really our lack of planning--but this was our first time doing such a thing and really didn't know what was provided and what the "customer" needed to bring!

Loved the house. Great views of the ocean and Salmon Creek. The house was very cozy. The beds comfortable which is important on a relaxing vacation. Birders would love this house. Lots of shorebirds sighted on our beach walks and from the deck and living room. Also lots of windflowers on our dune walks.

The Sojourn was exactly as advertised. Location was great and accommodations were exactly what we needed. We would book this place again!

Oh, boy, this house was terrific. It reminded of us of our own beloved cottage in Maine- salt air, great view, right on the beach. We really fell in love. Also there were low key touches- the fireplace set, the bottle of wine, the pass to a local winery we might have otherwise missed. We felt welcomed into the whole region. It was really special.

Two families stayed at Sojourn for an extended weekend to allow our 18-year-old best friends to celebrate together and say good-bye before heading off for their first year at separate colleges. We loved every minute! Mary Jill and Barry were very responsive from the start. The house and location were just as described, with a creek and ocean view out of a dream! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need for cooking and more. The large downstairs bedroom with big-screen TV was just perfect for the two teens, while grown-ups stayed in the smaller bedrooms. It was so incredible to just meander down to the beach each day and hang out for hours. We swam in the creek, played in the ocean waves, walked on the beach, built sand castles, flew kites, ate lunch, and just hung out chatting and looking at the view. The kids also thad a great time riding bikes around the little residential area. We hope to return!

While we never met Mary Jill, her responses to my emailed questions about the home (e.g., should we bring our own coffee) and the area (where to eat, visit) were timely and thorough. We came to Sojourn with our 3 young children and grandparents, so we had a lot of needs to meet. Not only were there toys for our kids to enjoy, there was a decent selection of adult and children's movies to watch. The kitchen was well equipped, and Mary Jill had provided coffee beans, a good amount of bottled water, and best of all, a dozen fresh eggs from their co-op (the kind that has a deep yellow colored yolk!). The biggest room was perfect for our little family of 5 - it was equipped with a queen bed and a pull-out futon, and space enough for two pack-and-plays. For us, Sojourn was a perfect place to enjoy the Pacific Coast - we had unobstructed views of the ocean, and were walking distance to Salmon Creek beach where we enjoyed beach combing, kite flying, and just hanging out. Sojourn was also ideally located as a base to also explore Armstrong Redwoods and the Russian River Valley.

We loved our stay! Quiet, weekend getaway I need beautiful Bodega Bay and Mary was an excellent host! Definitely recommend!

We had a great experience at Sojourn! Perfect location for beach access and wonderful views from the house. The hosts prepared everything very well and had great communications beforehand. Highly recommend!

Incredible spot. Great place to move into the spirit of nature.

The location is very good and a 7-8 minute drive to Bodega Bay. The host is friendly and nice.

Room and amenities were sparse. Bed was comfortable but on the floor.

A very quiet little spot by the ocean to take a rest. Melissa was very welcoming and our son loved playing with her little daughter. This was perfect on our road trip to have a quiet evening and enjoy the sound of crashing waves and wake up with the most splendid view.

Melissa was a very friendly host and her little girl is adorable. The house, the room and the bathroom is clean and basic. I went with my girlfriend to have a girls get away and we had treatments at Osmosis Day Spa, went to The famous and incredible Wild Flour Bakery, we visited Ocidental and Sebastopol. Everything was close enough to get to and the town of Bodega and Bodega Beach are very close. Melissa's house is walking distance from a couple of beaches, so that was very nice. One thing to be aware of is that the bathroom is a shared bathroom and you have to walk through a hallway and the kitchen to get to the bathroom. It did not bother us however and as I mentioned above everything was clean.

Melissa was great in giving us details for the room and wifi, easy check in, and very polite and courteous. Great location, would stay again!

This spot has a great location! Right on the water with a private entrance and a huge yard of wildflowers right behind it. It's definitely a basic room, and you share one bathroom with the hosts, but we didn't run into problems with that. Great as a coastal crash pad.

it is a nice and cosy room at Melissa Place. You can See the Ocean from the bed. during a big Window. Melissa is lovelY, very Open, and helpfull. The room is clean, and big.

Feels like we're invited to our close friend's house. Very kids friendly and homey. Great location. Beautiful scenery. Sad that the weather did not allow us to explore nearby more. Check in was smooth, and Jodie was very responsive.

We loved the setting on the bay - beautiful sunsets, the basketball hoop got endless use by 14-year-old, swing set by toddlers, swing by Gramma (beautiful weather), and the well-stocked kitchen was great!

Amazing! Beautiful little sea cottage! Perfect location!!

The reservation was canceled 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We truly enjoyed our stay although the weather didn't cooperate! Great location close to everything and it was nice to walk across the street for a stroll on the beach! We will be back!

Our stay at Harbor Cutie was very enjoyable and care free. The place is exactly as described, was roomy enough to accommodate 6 people with lots of space and comfort for everyone. Kitchen is fully equipped and stocked very well with everything you might need at home away from home. Jodie is an excellent host, very accommodating, was super quick to respond to every question we had and very resourceful. She provided us with excellent local references on what to do and where to eat in the area before our arrival so planning activities was easy. The location is superb, close to everything you might need at Bodega Bay. Thanks Jodie! We will be back!

Beautiful place!

Great place to stay.

Skip it. Customer service was bad and discription was misleading

Great stay and great customer service. What a great weekend getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandcastle in Bodega Bay over the Fourth of July weekend. The house is situated in Salmon Creek area, with a gorgeous stretch of beach five minutes walk away. My family of four was very comfortable in the house, spending our days exploring the Sonoma and Mendocino coast and our evenings in front of the fire. Highly recommend Bodega Bay & Beyond and am looking forward to renting from them again!

The cottage was perfect for us. It had everything we needed for our getaway weekend! It was very quiet at night. Waking up to the view we had every morning with your first cup of coffee was a great way to start your day. The fact that you are two minutes away from the beach was the icing on the cake! There are a lot of walking trails close by and good restaurants as well! I will definitely come back!

Beautiful area

Incredible location. Lovely scenic hiking trails, go at sunset or sunrise. Very clean rooms. The yoga class was a nice detail.

The listing description was accurate. Stef was a great host. The room is at a ranch with a view of hills and horses.

We had a really excellent stay here. The ranch is beautiful, the room was lovely, and everyone was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help us and make us feel welcome and at home. Can't recommend highly enough.

I enjoyed the place and location. Beautiful ranch and horses. Everything was prepared on arrival. Host provided clean towels and soap.

great trip from the start. very welcoming and helpful. Nothing goes farther than a big smile and helpful hints. thank you. we had great time

It's an amazing place. The nature around and the view are magic...really I never saw that! Horses, cows, cat, dog...We really enjoyed! The bedroom is classic, no surprise...but i recommande the stay.

Monika was an incredible host. The property was beautiful, views were unparalleled, and she thought of everything for us. We would love to come back here!

Great house in a great location. Beautiful views.

We had a wonderful stay for my birthday with family and friends. The house is just as beautiful and clean as in the photos. It has been done so tastefully. Monika was very helpful with dining and activity ideas for the area. I will definitely try to stay here again next time I'm in Bodega Bay.

Monika's house is amazing. The view from the master bedroom is epic, and the inside is very spacious. We stayed with a group of 8 people for a weekend and had a lot of fun. Monika gave us a lot of recommendations for restaurants and things to do. You have to walk through the dunes to the beach, it's breathtaking. All in all, we had a great weekend.

Such a beautiful house! My friends and I had a wonderful time here and Monika was a really great, responsive host. I would certainly recommend and will hopefully be back in the future.

Great place for a getaway with friends. The house has most everything you need, and it is a short walk to the beach. Lots of fun.

The house was wonderdfull. We were two families with kids, and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipted, the rooms were spacious, the hot tab and cottage was a great way to pass the time. The host was great, provided us tons of tips and recommendataion and everything we needed was taken care of. The area around was lovely. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something in the area.

What a wonderful spot for a weekend away with friends! House is beautiful, location was perfect and the host was great! We definitely hope to make it back to your beautiful home some day! It was the perfect weekend! Location is awesome, easy walk to fantastic oysters & chowder and the views stunning!

Gary's house is great. It was a wonderful place for the family to connect.

The house was a trillion times nicer than the pictures make it seem! Lovely place with SO much room. Very clean, everything was so easy about staying here. Close by to everywhere we were going, and a great house to stay cozy in even during a rainy weekend in Bodega. Will stay here again if we are ever back in town. Thank you Gary for everything!

The house was very nice and comfortable and had everything we needed. The house has a pool table and a nice outdoor area with fire pit in the backyard. The host was very responsive to my questions . We really enjoyed our stay there.

This house was great for our family! Lots of space to spread out and the view from the kitchen was awesome. The fire pit and pool table were fantastic additions.

Beautiful and very functional house. Bodega Bay is a beautiful area. Host was very responsive. Our family of 6 had a tremendous 5 day vacation. We would have loved to spend a few more days.

The house was very clean, beautiful, and had most of the necessities (plenty of bath towels, beach towels, cooking pans/pots, mugs/glasses, simple cooking ingredients). The TV was large and the couch was comfy. I liked the bed, however my boyfriend did not sleep that well on it. You can see the Bodega Harbor from the porch, which was awesome. There were a few restaurants within a mile from the place, one coffee shop, and a couple of markets. The beach was a quick drive north. Overall a lovely experience.

Pros: This home had a great TV, Wifi, lots of nature, great beds, nice deck, nice washer/dryer and two sitting areas in the living room. Cons: High price, lower level has a tenant, obstructed bay view, and the lack of a dishwasher was a germ issue for me.

A warm comfortable well equipped home in bodega bay allowed us to explore the region mostly on foot. It was very clean and cosy and Pam was available for any queries.

The location was perfect. Easy walk along the sand dunes to the beach or to the Bay. You can go on longer hikes / walks a short car right away and see the gorgeous CA coastline. The deck and views were amazing. It was a incredibly relaxing, sweet, cozy, and quiet place to stay. There are lots of super yummy restaurants to choose from close by or you can bring groceries to cook. It exceeded our expectations! Also the host made it super easy to check in and check out. My husband and I loved the place and we're going to come back! :)

Very special home. The view was fabulous and we were so comfortable! Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid Cove and loved how she decorated the rooms. View was nice of Bodega Bay. Peaceful neighborhood.

This house is SPECTACULAR! Really clean, comfortable, with all the modern amenities. The view is the best on the bay. We will be headed back every year!

Nice place; great friendly staff. New deck on the house. Kitchen is tiny, but a very quaint little house.

Beautiful relaxing house right on the bay. Easy to get to and awesome parking. Everything is exactly like the pictures except better. There was everything you could possibly need and more. Perfect place to stay if you are going on a fishing trip in the early morning too.

This place is VERY nice. It is spotlessly clean. The view is so beautiful. The house is just like the pictures but it feels much roomier, we were surprised by how big it is. Every room is stylishly decorated and thoughtfully supplied. The kitchen is well stocked and easily navigated, we cooked a lot during our stay and found it had everything we needed. This place is truly a gem, I highly recommend staying here.

This is an amazing place! Clean, stunning views of Bodega Bay, very organized and newly remodeled. Kathy was very helpful and welcoming.

Bodega Bay was a great place to stay to get out of the Texas summer heat! The house accommodated our family very well. We loved the view of the bay, so relaxing. Shane and Kathy were great hosts, communicated well, and made everything a breeze.

Spotless, updated and a wonderful location!

If you want views, ambience, and a wonderful spot to unwind in, this is it! This space on Bodega Bay gave us all that and more. The chance to cook your own food in the most modern of kitchens is possible. But with so many delightful dining places in driving range, we made breakfast but took full advantage of that possibility. There were 4 of us and we were celebrating some special birthdays

Beautiful home in a perfect location. The house is close to great restaurants and beaches and has a lovely view of the bay. We had a very comfortable stay and Shane and Kathy were great to work with. Would highly recommend!

Shane and Kathy's house is wonderful. It is spotless, comfortable, and spacious. Located right across from Bodega Bay, the views are incredible. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is big and well-equipped. Highly recommend.

Cheryl and Hobart were amazing. They opened their home, gave us wine, food and were incredible hosts. The places pictures do not describe the place. Breathtaking views, close to town and really a five start place. I felt like family with thme

What a fantastic experience this was. The location of the home is wonderfully nestled between rolling hills of farmland and the endless views of the ocean. It was truly beautiful. Add to that a fire pit, hot tub, and plenty of space to get cozy, and it's hard not to have a wonderful time. Cheryl and Hobart were warm and inviting- greeting us with friendly chit chat, a cheese plate, and wine. The next morning Cheryl whipped up some awesome omelettes and fresh fruit. She was attentive and took care of our diet restrictions. I definitely look forward to returning, as this was the perfect weekend getaway.

Couldn't have imagined a better stay or better hosts! The listing is just as promised and Cheryl and Hobart are two of the nicest people my wife and I have ever met. Even their dog Hope will make your stay great. We have no intentions of ever returning to Bodega Bay and staying anywhere other than here!

We had a great time in Bodega Bay! Cheryl and Hobart were very nice and helpful. When my boyfriend and I arrived they greeted us with wine and cheese and suggested multiple places to eat. Their deck had a perfect view of the sunset, seals, and surfers, and a one minute walk to a small beach. After our delicious dinner, we used the hot tub and listened to the waves with their fireplace on. The next day they had made us and the other couple a great breakfast with pancakes and fresh fruit! Overall, we had a great time and Cheryl and Hobart were very accommodating and friendly.

Cheryl & Hobart were star hosts and their home was a true oasis of wild beauty, warmth and serenity. A magical place! We felt at home right away, and blissed out in the hot tub looking over a ranch, by the fire pit overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and even splashed in the waves the next morning after homemade breakfast (quiche and fruit, yum) set up by Cheryl and Hobart. I had been hesitant initially to spend a weekend retreat in a shared home (we booked their upstairs room), but these are *fantastic* people to share home with. Fun, relaxed, generous, and gave us a great blend of space and friendly convo. Honestly, the photos don't do justice to the beauty of their home and the wild beauty of the ocean right below the balcony. You will feel soaked in nature and peace.

What can one say about the location which is high above the beach near Bodega Bay? Fabulous! What can you say about the welcome provided by Cheryl and Hobart which includes wine and snacks and much laughing? Beyond category! Oh, did I mention the hot tub? No, so what temperature would you like? What a gift to experience this great place with such extraordinary people as these. It was while staying here that I was made aware of some deeply disturbing news about the death of a close friend, my host and hostess supported me in an hour of need AND served a terrific quiche for breakfast! I can't wait to return for another stay with them.

It was wonderful staying at Cheryl and Hobart's house. The house literally overlooks the ocean for a view you can't beat. We got to enjoy the fire pit and even watched the Giants playoff game together along with wine and cheese. It was a great quick escape and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great weekend retreat.

Hobart met us right away at the lovely Oceanfront Home. He and Cheryl made us feel at home with choice of wine and a cheese platter. Views of the ocean were spectacular -- the BEST in Bodega Bay! Our room was comfortable and neat. Hallway bath was large, clean and private for us. Hobart and Cheryl really topped things off with breakfast cuisine -- homemade and delicious! Highly recommend!

My wife wanted to get away from the city for a few days and Bodega seemed to be the perfect place. She wanted a relaxing weekend away with a few friends and fewer distractions. Bob's place was absolutely perfect. It is all the way out at the end of town almost completely by itself. And the view of the bay is spectacular. We spent many hours just watching the water come in and out. I was even able to finish Bob's copy of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep which I read almost entirely from the deck. The house itself is HUGE. We had a fair number with us that weekend, and there was tons of room. All the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms so they have wonderful privacy. The beds were amazingly comfortable too! Top of the line mattresses and sheets for sure. What a luxurious stay we had! I cant stress how perfect, relaxing and hassle free the whole experience was. The place was way beyond our expectations. Bob is clearly a very seasoned host. I really cant think of any way our stay could have been better.

This place was such a treat! The location was ideal...overlooking the bay, we felt totally secluded. Other than the neighbor's gardener one day, we didn't see or hear another neighbor in our five days there. We spent most of our time in the hot tub or on the deck, enjoying the 180 degree view, listening to the many birds in the trees, and watching the tide come in and out. (We saw quite a few people out clamming below us, but couldn't be bothered to leave our sanctuary!) The home itself felt very spacious with high ceilings, and light airy furnishings. The views from the living room and master bedroom are especially impressive. We were a party of three, and had plenty of room to be together, or have our privacy- as there are three complete bedrooms and bathrooms. (So many places seem to count a bunkbed or a sofa bed as a "room". I don't know about you, but I don't want to save up for a vacation only end up in a bunkbed. Or tiptoe around in the morning because someone else is sleeping on the futon in the living room.) This place does not feel like rental. It's as well decorated and furnished as you'd expect your own home to be. A dreamy down sofa, Tempurpedic beds, silky linens, bathrobes and slippers, thick towels, matching kitchenware. The kitchen is really well stocked for cooking, baking, and serving. Definitely check out the kitchen and pantry before you go shopping. There were a lot of staples, condiments, etc already there. Same for the bathrooms- there were Q-tips, extra shampoos, razors, etc. Bob has a huge selection of CDs- most very kind of music you can imagine, and books, books, and more books. Also some board games, cards, etc, and a ping pong table, too. We honestly spent most of our time at the house, but two places are worth mentioning. Terrapin Creek Cafe was a casual restaurant with "fancy" food. The staff was so warm welcoming. The scallops and the proseco were especially good. We also went to the Spud Point Crab Company. We all agreed it was the BEST clam chowder we'd ever eaten! Seriously, don't miss it. Finally, Bob himself was so easy to work with. Communicating with him to make arrangements was a breeze. He went out of his way to explain details for a special situation I have, and was kind enough to offer a late check out as well. We are already talking about a return trip!

Completely enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this peaceful getaway location.

This is a great place. There were 5 of us and we were all very comfortable and had our private area and also our shared areas. Very nice view, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was in great working order. There were little touches that made each area even more convenient for "living." The other adult couple who stayed with us are frequent renters in Bodega Bay, and they really wish to return, if they can find someone to split the rent with them. It was very generous of Robert to allow us to extend the check-out time. BTW, I suggest checking the pantry and the fridge before you go food shopping.

Robert's place was absolutely lovely. It was very clean and well stocked. The location could not have been more perfect and the beds were so cozy. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy the hot tub on the beautiful deck again!

Our stay at Baymeadow was lovely! The location was fantastic--beautiful views, great location with hiking and biking just outside your door. The house was perfect for our group of five adults with super comfortable beds, nice linens, with private bathrooms for each room, a nice big grill and outdoor dining table to hang dine al fresco, and a hot tub--all the amenities you would want. Clearly the owners love this beautiful get-away and gem of a spot and we're lucky to have experienced all it has to offer. We'll definitely stay again when next in the area.

We loved this house. The place was spotlessly clean. All 3 bedrooms were large and comfortable with an en suite. Beds were s(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) comfortable. Lots of games, music and extras in the house that we hadn't expected. 2 bikes and kayaks for 4. Loads of condiments in the kitchen. This is a great house. Loved chilling in the hottub in the evening and eating our clam chowder on the deck.

The place is lovely with almost everything that you might need for your stay. The views are breathtaking and we especially enjoyed the deck with the hot tub and grill. The place was clean and neatly organized and we'd love to go back there!!

Wonderful views and a great space to unwind and relax! The house had lots of extras that made our stay wonderful. I would go back again!

Beautiful home! Great location with beautiful views and close to great restaurants. Look forward to staying there again.

We were four women doing a girls getaway to Bodega Bay and Elaine's home was absolutely perfect! Elaine was very good at responding to our needs and helping answer our questions. We found everything as described on the site and even better than we expected. The home is beautiful, the views are amazing, the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with supplies. We would recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay when visiting Bodega Bay.

Elaine's place is very clean and comfortable. It is very well stocked through-out from over-sized absorbent towels to toiletries and any kitchen appliances needed.Also all the furniture and beds are strong and solid and many little personal touches throughout to make one feel comfortable and at home

I hesitate to write this because I don't want the world to know how amazing it is...so I can get in whenever I want. It was perfect for family time with teenagers yet gave us many options for quiet, alone time. The view was amazing. The house was lovely. Great food places nearby. Cannot say enough great things about Bodega Jem and Elaine.

Perfect location!

Outstanding experience! BodegaJem is so much more; it's a Jewel! Absolutely stunning home, furnishings, views & Location, Location, Location!!! First time w/AirBnB. We're hooked! Hope they go public on the stock exchange soon! Our Host/Owner-Elaine sealed the deal. She is a "Jem" of a host & AirBnB Ambassador! Thank you so very much for an unforgettable Family reunion:-) ! Hope we can stay again, before BodegaJem is completely booked:-) ! Thank you so very much, Elaine! Your home made family memories that will last forever!

House was beautiful. Location is excellent. Really enjoyed our stay.

The view is wonderful and the beds sleep really nicely as well as the towels are really soft.

Beautiful location. Amazing views. Perfect place for our family to rest in between wedding events

The view makes it worth every penney you spend.

This was one of my favorite Airbnb locations. Would absolutely stay here again. Excellent amenities, view, and cleanliness. Plenty of room for two one-year-old babies and a very nice kitchen.

This house all though pricey is worth every penny. Very spacious with an incredible view. I highly recommend this to anybody.

Great house and location. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.

There are several noteworthy features. First, Bodega Bay is the one ocean destination you can reach without windy roads that leave car passengers tummies upset. Big attraction. Second, this home has an ideal location in Bodega Bay with a wonderful view of the harbor; the sun rises over the bay. Third, the home is well kept up, and has an attractive patio and hot tub. (Hot tub is for 2-3 people. A little small, but still wonderful.) The kitchen has good size with plenty of pots and pans, etc. The beds in the three bedroom are wonderful. I would return.

Amazing place. Couldn't ask for a better view.
