Family of 4 had an amazing stay! House was even nicer than expected and the location was AMAZING. We had so much fun exploring the dunes and the nearby beach was beautiful and private. Close to nearby hiking, tide pools, redwoods- would definitely book again!

Salmon Creek Charm

This cottage was a find! A little bit rustic, a little bit coastal and a touch of whimsy. We had two beautiful sunny days where we sat in the morning sunshine having coffee and watching the birds, especially loved the hummingbirds. We could hear the ocean roar in the background but were sheltered from the wind. The place was clean, comfy beds and nice cotton linens and towels.

We and our boys had a blast!

The property is the perfect getaway for those of us with fur babies. The place itself is a perfect set up with doors and gates that can help manage the doggos. The yard is also a great playground (with supervision) and while completely fenced, there is furniture, etc. that you'll need to manage around. The location is quiet, except for the roar of the nearby ocean waves...great starting point for walks along the beach, or even into the village of Bodega Bay. Will be returning soon! Thank you, great hosts!

Great patio and beach access

I’ve stayed in many of the rentals in Salmon Creek and so knew the homes were older. This home was comfortable, it would be been nice if the second bedroom sliding glass door opened. There was no way to get fresh air to cool the room. We didn’t do any cooking but it looked well equipped for doing so. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable. We loved the privacy and size of the patio and the access to the beach just over the dunes.

Dunes and Cypress in Your Backyard

Great first impression upon arrival, all set up like a welcoming home ready for guests. Kids loved the stuffed doggies in their room, location in the neighborhood walking out the back gate onto the sand was magical, and grew to appreciate many other little charms of what's not the newest beach house, but plenty comfortable!

Bodega Bay

We enjoyed our stay as we were able to bring our pups with us. The location is great with a water way nearby. With just minor questions upon our arrival Jennifer/Owner was very quick to respond as well as communicating any concerns or questions we had. Would like to revisit this VRBO again and enjoy the area even more.

Too cute for words!

Property is clean and adorable. Water delivery service, mud room and fenced yard is definitely a plus. Short walk out back door to Salmon beach (awesome beach but not pet friendly)Centrally located, just a short drive in either direction to nature walks, beaches and stores. Will definitely be planning another stay at this property.

Great little beach house

My friends and I loved this beach house for our short getaway, and we hope to come back next year! The house description is spot on. You can’t beat to short walk to the beach, at least that’s what my friends said, as I stayed in the house with my broken ankle. The house is quite decent for crutches and a knee scooter as there are no stairs. A couple things to keep in mind if looking to stay here…if you’re over 6’2” ish be prepared to duck and if you’re using the twin beds, they may not have a top sheet (at least we didn’t have them for our stay). My favorite part was having a cozy fire each night! The owner was amazingly quick to respond to my questions. Overall, quite delightful!

A sweet getaway!

My family and I had a lovely stay at this cozy Bodega Bay home. The house had everything we needed and the host was so kind and communicative. The dunes and beach are a very short walk just out the back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

The perfect getaway

This home was just what i needed. So quiet, you could hear the roar of the ocean. So out of the way, you can see a sky full of stars. Yet a 5 minute walk to the ocean. Miles of beach. Miles of dunes then only 5 minute drive to Bodega bay trail cove. Another amazing ocean experience. And Bodega Head, a casual hike for amazing views of the ocean, Bodega bay and our bea California hill scape. The home is lovely. Comfortable, cozy and clean! Private with everything you may need. A breath of fresh air. And... a wonderful conscience, attentive host!I will be back!

This is the second time we have stayed at this charming beach home. It has everything we need for a nice, relaxing stay. Walks on the beach, reading in the back yard, fires in the outdoor fire pit. We booked it again for next summer!!

Wonderful house and location!

We had a truly lovely stay at this beach house. It had everything we needed and a ton of charm--just perfect. The location cannot be beat: we loved walking on the sand dunes right out the back gate and wandering over to the beautiful beach just a few minutes away. We hope to be back next year!

Sand outside the back gate!

This is a quiet neighborhood in March. Might be much busier at high season. The directions to the house were spot on. The garden area is private and fully fenced which was excellent for my pups. The sand is right outside the back gate and you can hear the roar of the sea sitting in the garden area. I am 75 with knees that are in decline. The sand dunes were a challenge for me. A map of the trails would be nice. My few days were rainy and cold, but it was cosy and warm inside. Some reviews mentioned problems with the wall heaters. I did not have issues with them. The pictures of the house are accurate.
