This is the third year in a row we have stayed at this property and we have already reserved it for next summer. Everything was fully stocked and very clean as always. We really appreciated the shade cover in the yard. The yard is perfect for relaxing with a fully fenced yard for our dog.Its the perfect beach house for us.

Hidden gem on Sonoma Coast

This vacation property was great, fully stocked, cozy, and had alot of personal touches with a sort of coastal bohemian feel to it. The outdoor space was huge with nice furnishings, fire pit and the sound of the ocean-tons of potential for outdoor games and fun! The only downside was that the charcoal grill was a bit rundown. We loved the neighborhood and close proximity to the beach and will definitely be back!

Great patio and beach access

I’ve stayed in many of the rentals in Salmon Creek and so knew the homes were older. This home was comfortable, it would be been nice if the second bedroom sliding glass door opened. There was no way to get fresh air to cool the room. We didn’t do any cooking but it looked well equipped for doing so. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable. We loved the privacy and size of the patio and the access to the beach just over the dunes.

We and our boys had a blast!

The property is the perfect getaway for those of us with fur babies. The place itself is a perfect set up with doors and gates that can help manage the doggos. The yard is also a great playground (with supervision) and while completely fenced, there is furniture, etc. that you'll need to manage around. The location is quiet, except for the roar of the nearby ocean waves...great starting point for walks along the beach, or even into the village of Bodega Bay. Will be returning soon! Thank you, great hosts!

Salmon Creek Charm

This cottage was a find! A little bit rustic, a little bit coastal and a touch of whimsy. We had two beautiful sunny days where we sat in the morning sunshine having coffee and watching the birds, especially loved the hummingbirds. We could hear the ocean roar in the background but were sheltered from the wind. The place was clean, comfy beds and nice cotton linens and towels.

A Perfect Getaway

One of the best house rental stays we have had. The house is even better than described. So thoughtfully decorated for beach fun and comfort. Beautiful lighting throughout the house, especially in the living room. The primary bedroom has indoor shutters so you can sleep through the bright morning, or nice sun shades so you can let the sun in as desired. The primary bed is electric and raises to your preference, there is even a zero gravity setting. We played scrabble by the fire on colder evenings (bring your own wood!). The house is well equipped with items you may need—we forgot our dog leashes and there were two leashes hanging by the front door. So many comfortable seating options indoors and outdoors. The house is full of board games and books to explore when you're not out exploring the beaches and dunes. The beach is a short hike over the dunes behind the house, you can hear the waves from the yard. There is an easier public path to the beach just down the road that doesn't require walking over the dunes. The neighborhood is delightful--full of beautiful clearly well-loved houses. The large yard is fully fenced in, so our dogs had a great time romping outside while we enjoyed sitting under the shade on the patio. Host was very attentive and quick to respond to questions.(Dog owners: The beach behind the house is not dog friendly, but there are several dog friendly beaches a very short drive away. Beware of beach burrs, foxtails, and ticks in the dunes.)

Sand outside the back gate!

This is a quiet neighborhood in March. Might be much busier at high season. The directions to the house were spot on. The garden area is private and fully fenced which was excellent for my pups. The sand is right outside the back gate and you can hear the roar of the sea sitting in the garden area. I am 75 with knees that are in decline. The sand dunes were a challenge for me. A map of the trails would be nice. My few days were rainy and cold, but it was cosy and warm inside. Some reviews mentioned problems with the wall heaters. I did not have issues with them. The pictures of the house are accurate.
