Another Amazing Visit To Mar-Tiny
This was our fourth time staying at Mar-Tiny and it was fantastic! We love this place and plan on many more trips to Mar-Tiny. The location and decor is spot on.
Cute little place on the water at Salmon Creek just a short walk to the ocean. Lots of birds to watch from the big deck. Perfect for a couple.

Quiet, beautiful location, homey feel.
I love waking up in this beautiful cottage where you can see Salmon Creek and the beautiful birds there from almost every window. The furnishings are very sweet and cute, couch is comfy, kitchen has everything you need and you can walk to the beach (about a block)!
Amazing little cottage on the water. Peaceful home, birds and dear all over and walking distance to the beach. We loved that the house overlooked a river. Amazing to sit outside and watch all the birds and deer go on about their day. Felt very tranquil for us. Home was perfect for us, clean and cozy.
We loved the serenity of this place. It’s cozy, warm and perfectly peaceful.

Quaint Getaway Spot
The location is amazing for any nature lover and beach goer. Very cozy dwelling stocked with linens, cooking supplies, games and basic household items. The bed is very comfortable and the heater works well. The place was incredibly clean!
We stayed there for 6 nights. The view from the house is amazing. The house has everything! The key was a little tricky and outside window could be cleaned but other than that we really enjoyed staying this house! We would love to come back again.

Estuarial!
We loved being right on the Salmon Creek estuary, watching the wrens, swallows, sparrows, and herons and even deer feed along the creek and marsh. We could hear the surf in the background and a beautiful beach was 1/4 mile walk only. The place was very comfortable and a perfect nature retreat for 2.

Peaceful Weekend
The views from this house are amazing. If you are looking for a quiet, restful vacation this is your place. Comfortable, close to town and just a short walk to the beach. Listing is very accurate.
Nice place and perfect for relaxing and watching birds.

Wonderful Stay
We loved this little cottage. When you first walk in, your first impression is one of “cozy.” Although small, the cottage is more than ample for two people.
The couches are perfect as is the bed – very comfortable!
Walking outside, one has a great view of salmon, Creek and beyond. There are no homes to interrupt your view
we gave fishing a try, but probably not for enough time. That was still fun, though.
All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay and recommend this home to anyone who wants a comfy stay.
This was nice. Right on Salmon creek. Sit on the deck watching all the waterfowl etc. Close to town of Bodega, walking trails and beaches close by. Perfect you 2 and your pet.
This is our third or fourth visit and we love it here. Its beautiful and a great place to recoup and take it easy. Two teeny weeny things: 1) you might want to put an ant trap near the sink; 2) Don't know how I feel about the eco-pods. I really appreciate that they are earth friendly but they're also kind of weird.
Anyways, great place. We will definitely return.
We loved our stay at this sweet beach cottage! The deck is great to sit and enjoy morning coffee while watching the birds and deer and listening to the ocean. The only issue we had was that we couldn’t get the hot water to work in the sink or shower. Other than that we had a great stay.

Another great stay
We had a great stay at Mar-Tiny, our third. It was a bit of a challenge though, severe rain and wind knocked the power out, so no lights or hot water for 24 hours. Then the high tide came way up keeping us from getting to our car. We eventually made it out for more supplies and many walks to the beach.

A true gem.
We loved everything about this place except the salmon creek beach that is within walking distance and does not allow dogs, that is not really a complaint since it is out of anybody's control. This place is small but wonderful and completely accommodating for a party of two. Loved it and will be back.
Thank you,
Clinton

Great place, but ant colony in house and Vacasa ignores calls
The location and area is great. We loved it. One issue was that there is an ant colony int the chair and ottoman inside the house . Vacasa has been remorseful in helping me deal with this. Text, calls and empty promises.
This little place does not look like much from the outside, but when you open the door you enter a sweet little one bedroom. The overhead sky lights and decor make it warm and welcoming. The internet is spotty, so if you plan on jumping on your computer or watching a lot of TV you may need a back up. Lovely place by the water. We got to watch kayakers, water fowl, fish, otters and more from the balcony as we sipped our coffee or enjoyed a glass of wine. The area is very peacefull.

Nice stay but some recommendations..
We had a great stay at this property. The location was what made it for sure. Recommendations I have for the owners are as follows: Place address numbers on the house so it's easier to find, have a deep cleaning for dust and spider webs, place warnings of toxic water on site and have binder with information on checking out. There was no coffee maker as advertised in amenities. Overall the place was cute and location awesome. With a few additions this place would be amazing.
Beautiful spot right on the creek that definitely lives up to its photographs in the listing. Really the only trouble we had was with the furnishings; other reviews mention how comfy the couch was, but it was really soft and broken down for us. It was so uncomfortable that we went into Santa Rosa to buy a chair for me. The dining chairs are super rickety also. And the mattress was uncomfortable for both of us. But honestly, in better weather, we would mostly be spending time on the deck or on day trips anyway. It was storming a lot of the time we were there in January and it was a really cozy spot to watch the rain. The location makes up for all that, so I would still definitely recommend it.

Pros and cons
Property was cute and cozy as described however, the closet blankets Have m living room were dirty, ( dog blankets? ) no internet (as states it has internet before you reserve the home) fireplace s did not work! One of the BIGGEST reasons why we picked this place was because it had a fireplace - Followed instructions for the tee and fireplace flame did not light - disappointing
The cottage is right on Salmon Creek and a about a 10 minute walk to the beach. We stayed there with our 11 year old yellow lab and were entertained by the Canadian Geese and two River Otters off the deck. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful.
The cottage was well equipped and had everything thing we needed. The property description is accurate. We could not get the gas fireplace to light. Tracy, the property manage was great and sent a maintenance person over but he could not get it to light either. That was a little disappointing but the wall heater was sufficient to keep the place comfortable.
There is WiFi in the cottage, however we couldn’t get it to work initially, but after speaking with Tracy we determined that the checkin e-mail had the wrong Network ID and password. Tracy provided the proper info and the WiFi worked fine.
The propane bbq worked fine and there was a spare propane tank.
Over all we had a great time and will stay there again.
