Pam is an exceptional host. A delicious homemade blueberry coffee cake was waiting to welcome us on our arrival. The home is spotless, the kitchen has everything you could need, and the beds are comfortable. It was the perfect getaway for my daughter and me to spend time together, away from the noise and crowds of Bodega Bay. And when we wanted more activity, Bodega Bay was just a short ride away. Being able to walk five minutes to the beach was a special treat. I definitely look forward to staying here again.

I had a wonderful stay at Pam’s cottage by the sea. The house was cozy, comfortable, peaceful and clean. Pam’s thoughtful touches added a warmth and made it feel like home. The balcony views were amazing and I enjoyed the back deck and side bbq area. Pam even left fresh homemade cookies, which was a nice surprise. Communication was excellent and check in was seamless. I would absolutely book again.

Wonderful Beach Cottage

We have been staying at this wonderful “cottage by the sea” for many years and it is just been a gift to my family. The memories shared here are forever in our hearts. Pam is an amazing host that goes above and beyond by sharing her yummy baked goods, excellent communication from booking, during, and after stay. The house is equipped with absolutely anything you would need to cook yummy meals, close to fish market and shops, short walk to beach, wonderful yard( gorgeous flowers ), and ocean views from balcony upstairs! 5 star place to stay at Salmon Creek for sure!!

The location of this house is fantastic! Walk to a beautiful beach surrounded by beautiful hills & the fantastic Sonoma coast and redwoods are nearby. Pam, our host, provides you with everything you could possibly need for your stay— a beautiful home with comfortable beds, surprising decor, great yard with abundant flowers and a terrific balcony with stunning views of the ocean and Salmon Creek. Pam is easy to communicate with and immediately takes care of any problems or issues that may arise. We would definitely return and highly recommend Grace At The Sea to anyone.

Still Amazing

My husband and I needed a little break and we stayed at Pam's several years ago. The house was still impeccably maintained, the kitchen well equipped, the garden area developing nicely and the relaxing and cared for feeling was still there. She continues to leave a delicious baked good and makes it simple to check in and stay. My favorite room is the upstairs bedroom with the view and sound of the ocean. I could sit in the window seat and watch the birds for hours.

Comfortable, cosy & clean!

I spent 9 wonderful days at 'Grace at the Sea'. Pam is an excellent communicator and keeps her home spotless and well supplied. As a single older (!) person I felt very safe. Nice easy walks to the ocean, and then you can walk along the beach in either direction for a long way. Or walk along the more in-land meadow trail. Perfect get-away home!

Always a Perfect Stay! :))

Pam's Grace By the Sea has been a family retreat of ours for at least 13 years. Our 18 & 19 y/o boys have grown up playing there 3-4x/year. Her home holds so many of our beautiful family memories. Pam's home is cozy, comfy, peaceful, clean, well-appointed, and so restful! Walking distance to beach, trails, farmer's market. Pam's Bodega Bay Retreat is our family's home away from home. :))

We stayed for 5 nights at Pam's adorable little cottage. It was a perfect vacation spot for us away from the busy-ness of the Bay Area. The house and kitchen were well equipped, the beds were clean and comfortable, and there was even a yard for us to enjoy the starry skies. Pam was also very communicative, making sure that our stay was enjoyable. I would love to come back again!
