Every year our family camps at Doran Park and several of us rent a house in Bodega on the golf course to be close to the park. This rental did not disappoint. With five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious and open kitchen, large table with plenty of seats for dining, and a very cozy living room, our family had a great time for the 6 nights we stayed there. The views from the decks are stunning and even the view sitting in the hot tub was spectacular. Don's communication and instructional binder is very detailed and we really had no additional questions or concerns with the house. Definitely recommend this home for teens and multiple families staying together. Thanks again Don.

We had a great 4 day stay! The check in process was simple and the house was very clean. The living area was spacious with a large dining table which was perfect for our group to all spend time together. There are stairs so if you have small children be sure to bring a baby gate. The neighborhood was perfect, great location, on the course, and there is a short hiking trail down to the beach with tide pools. *****My only complaint is that the hot tub was not staying warm. It would randomly get warm however it wouldn’t stay warm and never seemed to be warm when we wanted to use it. It tells you not to touch the pad to make adjustments however even if we wanted to it has duct tape over it so you can’t see anything. Big bummer.

We really enjoyed our stay and the house is very comfortable with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing weekend. They layout is ideal and there is ample seating. Everyone played ping pong at some point in the garage and billiards was a plus as well. We didn't use the hot tub mainly because there's not much of a view to see from it but also the controls were covered in duct tape so we didn't want to take any chances with it. I did message the host who responded right away and informed me that it's more to prevent a specific button from being used which would trip up the temp settings. House is perfectly located 1/4 mile from the Pine Gulch Trail entrance which leads to the beach. I would say it's more of a moderate walk/hike rather than an "easy" one. The microwave button in the kitchen would "stick" and require you to use both hands to open, but was fully functional. Everything in the house is labeled and had everything we needed for a great weekend. Keep in mind that VRBO does not make it very clear at the time of booking that an 8 page short term rental agreement is required and will ask for your guest list complete with names & ages along with your phone # and address. This is not something I have ever experienced before in booking via VRBO in past vacation rentals so this completely caught me off guard and don't recall anyone mentioning this in their reviews. This is important to be aware of if you are particular about you & your guests' privacy as it is required.

Bodega bay reunion

The property was great, everything was easy and simple to find and use. Very spacious and great for our group. Was in town for a family reunion and 5 differen properties were rented across several families. Our group was 9 and our max house allowable was 12. This made getting together for dinners etc. Virtually impossible, no fault of the manager of the property, just a reality of the situation. The house was really nice and spacious and each family had their own bathroom which was great! Just know that if you have a LARGE group, in bodega bay, the beach is really one of the only places for meeting up as a large gathering. Would definitely come back to this property again, but for a large reunion, bodega bay may not have been the best choice. Had it Only been our 3 families staying together, the stay would have been perfect and the house would have suited our every need!

Perfect Family Reunion

The house is perfectly located for exploring the Bodega Bay area. The open layout of the dining, kitchen and living room area was very comfortable and functional for our group of 7 adults to hang out in. Being within walking distance of the beach from several approaches (via the south end of Doran beach and Pinnacle Gulch trails) was extra wonderful.

Scenic, spacious house perfect for family gathering

Our family had a wonderful week-long winter holiday retreat at the Grey Whale house. We had 10 people: a mix of kids, parents, and grandparents. There was ample space for everyone to spread out. The kids especially enjoyed the game room (converted garage) as a large space to play. The kitchen is large and well equipped (some of the kitchen ware is older but functional, no issues). The views are stunning, and while the house feels remote in the quiet neighborhood, it's just minutes (by car) into the charming town of Bodega Bay, and it is easy to drive to other Russian River / Sonoma county activities. There is also a trail to access the beach (note it is a hill), or it is a very short drive to Doran Beach park. Highly recommend as a relaxing location for a family gathering. Would stay there again.

Beautiful home. Very well stocked kitchen. Lots of room to spread out. Communication with owner was great. Clean. Slightly dated but that didn’t matter to us. The only minor problem was the BBQ was difficult to control, we couldn’t get low setting to work. It would work on high but when we tried to turn it to low it would shut off. Overall it was a great home and we really enjoyed our stay.
