    Beautiful views and a Hot Tub
    What an amazing home! My friends and I gathered here to escape from, well, everything, and it was great. The house felt homey, and the views and walks were gorgeous. The Hot Tub was fun while we toasted to the amazing view of the California coast. We will return.

    Great location, extra guest at night
    The overall property was great. The location was amazing. It was a quick short walk to the beach, which had a private little cut out and was just perfect. The hot tub was a great amenity with the best view, and we all enjoyed it. The house had everything we needed, and it made for a great couple of days, however when I say extra guest, if you are into spirits or not, whether you believe them or not, there is definitely an extra guest at night. Who was seen, around 3 am both nights by a few of us. Not mean just, there . It was a little creepy and made me uneasy, but I don’t think I could’ve stayed there past the two nights. I’m not sure of the history of the house but being built in the 1930s, I’m sure there’s a lot. Besides “Pappy” (what we named him based off of some of the frames around) there was some mold in the bunk room that made my son immediately congested. He slept there both nights and came home with a little cold from it. Being by the ocean mold is expected but there was A LOT so that was a little disappointing. But other than that it was a nice spring break getaway from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

    Lovely Getaway
    We absolutely LOVED this comfortable and relaxed beach cabin It's steps away from the path to Wright Beach and spending mornings in the hot tub as the sun rose was divine. The property has a thriving bird population in the many beautiful bushes and lupins and other plants surrounding the house (smells like heaven on earth) and we really enjoyed watching them while we soaked. The place is comfortabe with a lot of living space inside. We will ablsolutely be back.

    I really wanted to like this
    For the price and great location I really wanted to like this property. Unfortunately we had major problems. There was a live coach roach between the bedsheets. Hundreds of ants in the kitchen and queen bedroom. The fire pit in backyard has a bush growing over half the pit. The hot tub jets did not work and the water level was 7 inches low below jets. Making it unusable. The host asked me to take out a hose from somewhere, connect and fill the hot tub and to turn the water off and put the hose away. The host had no helpful advice or consolation.

    Plenty of space and great location
    Rented the house for my wife’s 60th birthday and had two couples show up for a surprise. Great space for the six people and nice views of the ocean and working ranch across the highway.

    One big problem...
    Old house, charming decor, lots of character. We arrived at 8pm and upon entry the whole house reeked distinctly of cat urine. We opened all of the windows to air it out but it made no difference. The smell is very strong in the front TV room, specifically on the rug. My wife dropped her new blanket on the rug briefly and when she picked it up, it smelled so bad that I had to wash it. The kids started referring to it as "the piss room" it was so bad. We left the property for the day and the smell had stuck to our clothes and made its way into our car. Aside from that, everything else was fine. But to get out of town to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday only to be stuck inside a cat-urine-smelling house during a never-ending torrential downpour wasn't the stay we were expecting.

    Cozy coastal getaway
    Conveniently located near Duncan’s landing, you can walk to the beach and it’s an easy drive to bodega bay - very cozy inside with a warm fireplace on cold blustery days

    Comfortable, budget friendly place with many issues
    Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the house but wouldn't book it again. First off, the photos of the view are misleading as there are thick power or telephone lines running between the property and the highway, so there is no ocean view without seeing them. The photos in the listing look as if there is nothing but sky above the deck and hot tub. Also, the whole place looks very worn and tired and needs to be updated everywhere, including a thorough paint job on the walls (master bathroom is remodeled). Cushions are left on the chairs outside, making them unappealing to sit on. Seat cushions on the dining chairs are stained and generally dirty. The mattresses are on the soft side and some pillows are uncomfortable. The gas fireplace is nice to have, but you can't see much of the flame because of the soot on the glass. The hot tub is fine at night, but during the day you can see that the water is quite turbid (well water?) and just doesn't look inviting. What grossed me out most was that the host requests that guests wash a load of towels in the smallest amount of cold water on express before check out. This is unsanitary (assuming that all towels and sheets are washed that way before being used by the next guests). The washing machine is barely functional and did not successfully complete even the express cycle for me, if any guests need a washer to wash their own laundry. We enjoyed the space (bedrooms are pretty private) and the location between Bodega Bay and Jenner.
