The bungalow was a lovely and peaceful place to stay. The space was quiet, safe, and very comfortable.The setting is especially beautiful. I loved listening to the prolific birdsong in the morning, and at night the angel’s trumpet growing outside gave off the most wonderful fragrance. It made the whole place feel incredibly serene.A great place if you’re looking for somewhere calm and restorative.

This was a great place for us for a planned wine country trip. The weather turned too hot but we were a short drive to beaches and cooler weather near San Francisco which was very convenient. The home is equipped with everything you need and a quaint cool place to stay. Would stay again!

We had such a great time at this property!! The hosts were great and responsive. They thought of every little detail to make sure guests have everything they need. The bungalow is fantastic!! Walking distance to the ferry for San Francisco is such a great location.10 out of 10, would recommend!!
Pleasant stay! Had the additional perk of a private spot for parking off the street. Bed is comfortable and all the amenities I could ask for were available.

Thank you for your patronage and thank you for your cooperation to move to Bungalow Two as we had a double booking. And yes, the Bungalow Two offers a private parking which is an added bonus! I’m happy your experience was positive!
Hi Roger I am sorry that the bed was uncomfortable for you. This is the first time I had a complaint about this in the entire time I have been in this business. Was there something wrong with the bed? I did not hear anything from you during your stay and cleaners did not say anything specifically about the bed.
I am puzzled because I pride in everyone loving about the bed and sheets etc. etc. Please do notify me if something is wrong so we can fix it while you are staying with us.
Thank you for choosing our Boutique Bungalows.
This is the review from the guest who stayed just before your stay:
Rachel (from the other mammoth STR platform)
"I don’t have enough good things to say about this lovely cottage. It was clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed for a few days of touring Napa. I would highly recommend!"
“We absolutely loved our stay! Thank you for having us!”
My family had my Mom’s 80th birthday party in Vallejo, we’re from here, but haven’t been here in years. Staying here made coming back home a pleasure. Thank you for making my stay so very comfortable.

Perfect....loved it!!
We had a wonderful stay! The house is truly awesome! It is so clean, comfortable, homey, quiet, and provides everything u need!!! I cant say enough about how great our stay was. Our hosts left us a bottle of wine in the fridge, which was perfect to end our first day in Cali. The bed was great, the convenience of the location of the house was perfect! We will definitely stay here again!! Loved, loved, loved it!! We were actually sad to go!

The bungalow worked perfectly for our family. It was spotless, well equipped, and perfectly situated for our day trips around the Bay Area. We really wanted to take the ferry to a Giants baseball game but we couldn't fit it into our schedule. Next time.

Thank you Boyd for taking the time to review us and sharing your experience! I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
This was a really nice, cute, and cozy bungalow. My girlfriend and I were looking for an affordable place to stay near Napa, and this cottage in Vallejo worked out perfectly. It was an easy 30-min drive to the Oxbow Market in Downtown Napa. We also had amazing pizza at Napoli Pizza in Vallejo (a small but delicious pizza spot just a few blocks from the bungalow). The space in the cottage was relaxing, the bed was comfortable, and the use of the TV (with Netflix & Hulu access) was great! Highly recommend!

Thank you Brendan for visiting us. Being able to share our Bungalows with guests like you make the vacation rental business rewarding and fun. Visit us again when you or your family are in the area! Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Property was absolutely spotless. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials when we arrived which was very much appreciated after a long trip. My daughter and I were attending an event on Mare Island. Location couldn't have been better. Could see the island from the front porch. Ferry terminal was a few minutes away by car so make getting into SF super easy. Host was very responsive. Would highly recommend the property.
