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.

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!

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.

A Perfect Getaway

One of the best house rental stays we have had. The house is even better than described. So thoughtfully decorated for beach fun and comfort. Beautiful lighting throughout the house, especially in the living room. The primary bedroom has indoor shutters so you can sleep through the bright morning, or nice sun shades so you can let the sun in as desired. The primary bed is electric and raises to your preference, there is even a zero gravity setting. We played scrabble by the fire on colder evenings (bring your own wood!). The house is well equipped with items you may need—we forgot our dog leashes and there were two leashes hanging by the front door. So many comfortable seating options indoors and outdoors. The house is full of board games and books to explore when you're not out exploring the beaches and dunes. The beach is a short hike over the dunes behind the house, you can hear the waves from the yard. There is an easier public path to the beach just down the road that doesn't require walking over the dunes. The neighborhood is delightful--full of beautiful clearly well-loved houses. The large yard is fully fenced in, so our dogs had a great time romping outside while we enjoyed sitting under the shade on the patio. Host was very attentive and quick to respond to questions.(Dog owners: The beach behind the house is not dog friendly, but there are several dog friendly beaches a very short drive away. Beware of beach burrs, foxtails, and ticks in the dunes.)

Great spot and hosts

Owners were fabulous with their communication and had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The only negative was there were no top sheets on the single beds. Otherwise very clean and close to the ocean.

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.

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!

Nice Place!

Very charming cottage— our dog loved the yard. I think it would be a great place for a family with young kids— the 2nd bedroom was adorable!My husband and I never actually walked to the beach from the house. There were large sand dunes to cross, plus construction going on. But it was an easy drive to numerous other nice beaches.

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!

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!

The place is old but generally comfortable. Easy walking down to the beach and access to Bodega Dunes park. The problem we had was the heating system. In the winter B Bay can get pretty cold, low 40's, and the electric heat took a long time to make it comfortable. Bring sweaters and light jackets. If it rains the road leading to it can have big puddles and mud. If you can, get the owner to turn the heat on before you arrive.

Weekend of Zen!

Took my pups for the weekend to see the coast. This property was just what I was looking for. More than pet friendly, my dogs were in heaven exploring the gigantic fenced in yard, walking the trails behind the back gate, and sleeping so comfy they snored. The house was so comfortable, welcoming, cozy, clean, completely self-contained, with beautiful window views and plenty to do inside though it rained outside all weekend. I slept to the sound of the ocean and slept so peacefully. Property contact was wonderful to work with and so helpful. I cannot wait to go back again and enjoy this peaceful place, especially the wonderful yard and wind chimes. Thank you! Dawn, Harry, and LillyButt

Quiet and clean

The property is clean but could use some TLC. The house was comfortable. The comments on the views of ocean and short path to the beach did not prove to be true. Yes, you could have good views and a path if you hiked over the dunes to get to the ocean, not easy done by someone who’s just had a total knee only disappointment to the weekend.
