Beautiful home. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Spotlessly clean. So glad they welcome pets. Our Great Pyrennes loved the property. Close enough to walk to town. Easy drive to Point Reyes National Seashore beaches and hiking trails. Deer in the yard every day. Birds galore. The view from the back of the home is gorgeous. Highly recommend.
My husband and I stayed with friends at Tyto Alba and really enjoyed our stay. We loved the peaceful setting, the very well-equipped kitchen, the comfortable living room and bedrooms. And to top it off, so close to town and to point Reyes hiking trails. All in all, an excellent place. We will be back!
My partner, our dog and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful house. It was really comfortable and the view from the deck is gorgeous. Close to town and also feels remote. Thanks for everything!
This is a wonderful house! Easy walk to town, and great spot for adventures in Pt Reyes, creameries, wineries, and more. Very peaceful spot with views over the wetlands preserve. Don’t miss a tasting at the nearby meadery, and the fresh oysters just up the highway.
This house was wonderful. Beautiful location and the house was immaculate. We stay at a lot of rentals is this one is on our top favorites of all time!!
House is wonderful and listing is very accurate. Location was the best of both worlds---quiet and surrounded by mature but a 10 minute walk to town. Spent a lot of time on the back patio enjoying the wildlife in the wetlands and foggy mornings. Very easy to get to all the great food and attractions in the area.
This was our first time to Pt. Reyes and it did not disappoint. The house is in a beautiful setting - the backyard views are gorgeous and there’s a table/chairs and deck chairs so you can fully enjoy it. The house was very clean with a great kitchen and good size bedrooms. Walking distance to town and short drives to many great hikes, towns and beaches. We’ll be back!
House was great! Easy walk into the cute town. Unfortunately the power went out for 12 hours but the host communication was great! Maybe add a few working flashlights and candles for such incidents. Also, a few throw blankets would help!
The kitchen was lovely and well equipped. The dishwasher was a problem. We could not make it start, then when we were advised how to get it started, and heard the water running, when we unloaded it food was baked on.The living room rug was dirty with spots that a spray bottle of Folex would easily remove.Free standing towell racks in both downstairs bedrooms would be helpful, since the shared bathroom is small.Flies. Need a eco-friendly way to manage

Great to be close to town. The home was in need of repair. Down stairs shower leaked water onto floor and bathroom should be repaired. Gutters failing and water damaging the decks. HVAC system not able to control temperature in home. Note book with local information outdated. It was nice to be close to town however home very much neglected and very disappointing for the
