Beautiful stay!!! The host was lovely and provided us with all the info for arrival. The space was clean and welcoming - fun games & wonderful selection of cds to really make our time feel cozy (we loved playing Sinatra as we looked at the stars). Can’t get better than this in Marshall!

Thank you so much, Lindsey, for staying with us. You were so easy to communicate with and left our house in wonderful condition. We really appreciated your kindness and care for our home. And thank you for your compliments on our curated music selection!
This home was the perfect seaside retreat. It’s a perfect home base to explore the Point Reyes seashore and the best of Sonoma and Marin county, but this home is a paradise in itself. We loved spending quiet mornings watching birds over the bay, and admiring the stars in the hot tub each night. A perfect place for design-lovers to reset and recharge, this is a home we already can’t wait to come back to.
Though we never saw our host, the instructions for access were clear and we had no problems. What makes the “Loft” a perfect getaway is its location, perched on the edge of the bay. Just sitting and watching the cormorants and pelicans flying by created a sense of calm, much needed today. This was our second visit and we look forward to more!
