The property is in a great location compared to places up the coast. You are within 30 minutes of a lot to do. For example, the Russian River is only about 6 miles away, with access to drive to multiple coastal beaches within minutes of the property, and close shopping for convenience. If you are an avid cook, the kitchen may leave a bit to be desired in terms of utensils, pans, etc., but if you want to make a quick breakfast or a quick bite to eat, you have plenty to work with. Otherwise, there is plenty to choose from within about a 45-minute radius, depending on how inland you want to go. Bodega Bay and Jenner have a few places very nearby. The location itself has amazing views. Bring a spotting scope or binoculars, and you will see plenty of wildlife. The host was very responsive and checked in when he hadn't heard from us due to an email glitch. We didn't know we hadn't received all of the information we needed, so that was appreciated.
