The house and decor are just as pictured. Super cute, clean, well appointed. Everything we needed. Spacious and comfortable. The deck was perfect for early evening dining. It was a great location for heading into the city for a day, and then heading up to Dillon Beach and Bodega Bay another day. So much do! Wonderful time in a beautiful town.
There are a lot of wonderful things about this house and location but the owners have misrepresented access to the harbor. The photos in the listing are not taken from the deck but rather from a different location near the home.
Rather than a serene, private getaway with access to the harbor, we had a family of 5 stationed on their boat right off our deck about 20 feet away for 2 of our 3 day stay. We had no privacy at all and no access to the dock, because there was no space for us or our paddleboards. We couldn't have a private conversation on the deck while being bombarded by sounds of this family's activities, which felt like was in our living room. The owners stated it is not their harbor so cannot control who uses it or when. They did discount me $200. In addition, the hosts have a padlock on the gate to the dock and require that anyone who is staying at or visiting the home fill out a liability waiver and send their ID. This was very difficult to complete for our group, which was made up of different family members arriving at different times from multiple locations including several who were injured and not planning on using the dock at all. I had to spend several hours on the phone negotiating this requirement with the owners and ultimately did not receive the code to the lock until after the sun went down and we had been unable to use the dock. This was so disappointing for some members of our group that they ended up going home. I wouldn't recommend staying here.
The house was as advertised. Convenient, clean, well-appointed, and the view across the huge back deck was very cool. Check-in and communication with the hosts was seamless.
Lovely and peaceful location with easy access (less than 1/2 mile) to groceries and coffee shops. Large, beautiful deck. Very comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Great internet. Bonus -- each of the two bedrooms has its own bathroom, which worked out perfectly for our party of 4.
This property was such a relaxing and welcoming place to stay. the deck is sundrenched overlooking the water, the place is older but spotless, kitchen well supplied and beds comfortable. I recommend it. Also wholefoods and trader joes are not far away, and parking for a couple of cars was great. We will be back!
This house is perfect for us. Clean plenty of room and well equipped. Being close to the water is a plus. The host are great and there when we had questions. Weâve been here before and will be back again.
Loved sitting on the deck drinking coffee and overlooking the water! The place was perfect for a quiet relaxing getaway. We appreciated the ease of entry, parking, coffee making supplies, and comfortable bed and couch for watching tv.
This was a delightful surprise to stay at this property. The location is very unique, tranquil, and quiet. Itâs a great setting for a family gathering. The property has been nicely updated in some unique ways, and was very comfortable and cozy. The communication with the owner was quick and courteous. The back deck is a real treat and so is the fireplace! The layout works out well because it has basically two master suites with the living area in between which made for quiet bedroom spaces .
The home is close to everything and only a short drive to some nicer attractions in the bay area. Itâs a great launching pad for some family outings.
We needed a place to stay while visiting family in San Rafael. This house was close, convenient, accommodated our dog, and had the right number of bedrooms. Comfy beds too!
Very cool mid century modern house right next to the harbor. Fantastic deck thatâs partially covered which worked out great since it rained much of the time. It was lovely to see the boats and birds go by on the canal. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and loved the vibe. Garage parking was a plus, too. Super close to shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I will say that the bathrooms and some of the fixtures could use updating. But overall it was a fabulous stay and Iâd 100% book again. Thank you!
