"We found this spot on a whim and it turned into a mystical hideaway that was absolutely stunning!!! I can’t wait to come back again!!! The owner and staff are wonderful, rooms very clean, property was very convenient!!!"
"Lots to do in area. The only thing I didn’t really like was that you have to leave the property to get coffee in the mornings. Being considered as a resort, you would think you would have had that on the property "

Beautiful home w/sweeping estuary, water views, Wifi, private grill & wood stove
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. It is exactly as advertised with great views and hot tub. Sadly I did not see any eagles. It's a great place to be shut in if you just want relaxation. It's close to beaches and trails if you decide to get out. It was quiet and peaceful. We had a wonderful stay. "
Oceanview Child & Dog Friendly House w/Fire Pit & Bocce Ball
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely lovely. Perfect location to celebrate mymom’s birthday. We walked to one beach, drove to others, enjoyed takeout from Fishetarian and a meal up the road at Jilly’s. The bocce ball court and board games provided entertainment for all. 13/10 stars. Would definitely stay here again. "
"Adorable little cottage with balcony with Southern exposure. Everything about the place is sooo cute! From the gas stove for heat to the skylight in the shower! Make sure you go on the balcony after dark to see the millions of stars that are invisible in the city! Sorry we only had one night. My wife didn’t want to leave!"

"The views!!!! This wonderful cliff house is very private (thanks to the new bridge taking traffic away) and a wonderful view of the beach/sunset and moonlit ocean. We had a lot of fun discovering the "secret shortcut" to the beach and walk there 2x a day. Bodega Bay is a great place to eat out and it is difficult to beat this stay for so many reasons. That's a photo FROM the house the night before full moon."
The Cliff House: Panoramic Oceanfront Views by Famed Architect Carson Bowler.
10/10 Excellent
"This was our second time at the Cliff House and we had a wonderful time. We love this property because we can just unwind at the house or take multiple walks on the beach throughout the day. Our dogs love the property as well. The house has all the kitchen utensils you could possibly need for any cooking you want to do. We will definitely be back to the property. "
