Beautiful home! Views of the ocean and the wildlife (deer outside our door every day!). Our only glitch was a very warm spell we hit while there and no AC. I suspect it's not needed very often.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept, 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the home, ocean views, and especially the deer visits they really are such a special part of the experience. We’re sorry the warm spell made your stay less comfortable. You’re right that those temperatures are unusual for the area, but we appreciate you mentioning it and will certainly keep it in mind. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again!

Breaking waves is a perfect place to just unwind and relax. We walked in the door and jazz piano music was playing and then you see the breathing taking view of Bodega bay. We really did not want to leave. We will be back soon. It will be our new getaway spot. The house itself had everything you need from the kitchen to entertainment. The beds were very comfortable. A great snack basket and even a fun art project were waiting in the kitchen to welcome us. It is a definite 10!
