Directions said look for grey gate but there isn’t one, only a blue gate and fence. The lock is a little rough, maybe time to replace. Had to jiggle the key to lock/unlock. Inside was good, had a smell like maybe it’s time to replace the carpets. Everything else was great. Love the little oatio outside the kit he. ##### alexander c.

The small studio had everything you need, including a huge selection of dvds to explore after a day spent outside. We rented kayaks and only used them once - the kayaking is superb but the house’s location was so perfect we just wanted to stay there all day. There were so many birds to watch. Including an osprey nest we could watch all day while wading in the bay. This place is so peaceful and quiet, and the deck and patio were perfect every hour of the day. The price is also much more affordable than other places in the area, but the studio had every basic need covered. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcos A. Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place -- crazy storm! This is a lovely studio on Tomales Bay. I happened to pick the wrong weekend to go as there was a king tide and major rain storm. Took away the dock and did some other damage. BUT, the place is lovely and exactly as in the listing and the owners and manager were very gracious and refunded the trip since was no power or water most of the time. So highly recommended and this was like a every 30 year event not the usual so do not be dissuaded by my weekend :) Otherwise Tamales bay is beautiful and Nicks Cove and the Marshall Store are just a few miles away. Cannot recommend more highly. ##### Marcos A. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kem P.

My “salt water fix” revives me, not to mention the yummy fresh seafood found in Inverness, Point Reyes Station, Marshall and Bodega Bay. The new shower is lovely, however, we were getting used to showering in the kitchen. The renovated kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal “at home”. We will be back. ##### Kem P.

We paddled up to the oyster beds staying close to shore and encountered a group of leopard sharks in shallow water. Really neat to see them swimming and I accidentally touched one with my paddle and it startled me when it leapt out of the water to get away. If you don't know these small sharks are abundant and safe. No reported bites from them and they are beautiful to see. ##### daniel n. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank G.

A minimalist kitchen affected our dining menu but not much. The TV and DVD playing setup has very confusing instructions. The barbacues were not sanitary enough to use. The deck furniture were dated but safe to use ##### Frank G.

It was perfect for my husband and I and our 6-year old. The view was incredible, my son swam in the water, and it’s within a 5-10 minute drive to a market (Tomales General Store) and 4 great restaurants (we ate at Tony’s Seafood (twice!) & Hog Island, but didn’t have time to try Nick’s Cove or Marshall General). The studio itself is very comfortable and was very clean. Loved the private patio with the doors out onto the bay. We had ample space and wished we had more time there. (Take note: there is only a hot plate for cooking, no stovetop. My fault for not realizing it, as the owner did mention it in the VRBO listing). Would highly recommend this place for a quiet, beautiful and remote vacation. Thank you again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Victor H. Feb 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Planning to return Even with the stormy weather the studio was warm and secluded. Our only challenge was sustained hot water to the shower. Hot water was slow, but adequaate to the kitchen and bath lavatory. However hot water to the shower was medium temp and then abruptly cold. You will hear from us in a couple of months when the seasons change. Also, arriving home we found that we had packed in our bags the little salt and pepper dispensers. Let me know and I'll send a check. Thank you, Vic Herrmann ##### Victor H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### CINDI H. Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tomales Get Away From the outside the house is a little rough & in need of some TLC. This is a house split into 2 houses. I assumed we would have a view but Joe’s Studio is on the back of the house & you must go outside to the deck to see the bay. We were never sure if there was someone in the front side of the house but there was a car there. I prefer privacy when vacationing so this was a little unnerving to me. There is no oven/ stove in the kitchen. The studio has been remodeled & was clean, except for the mattress cover on the hide a bed. The studio beds were very comfortable & the location is great as there is so much to do in the area. ##### CINDI H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nice place. Either I misunderstood or it was not made clear that there is a second attached unit. It was also said there were no pets allowed. But three wet large rampaging dogs showed up with the people in the other unit. I would not have rented the unit if I knew that and it negatively impacted my stay. The people in the other unit were friends of the owner so got special permission to have obnoxious animals. I guess that is the risk you take with these types of rentals. I will not do it again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Meadowood Napa Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Helena-Hotels-Meadowood-Napa-Valley.h7673916.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakehouse Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Marcos-Hotels-Lakehouse-Hotel-And-Resort.h909721.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kaslo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaslo-Hotels.d6348594.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sandman Hotel & Suites Abbotsford](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Suites-Abbotsford.h3965383.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sonoma-Hotels-Fairmont-Sonoma-Mission-Inn-Spa.h465.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Lloydminster by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Lloydminster.h1668456.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6058432-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cedar Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Portal-Hotels-Cedar-Lodge.h889912.Hotel-Information) > > [Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rancho-Santa-Fe-Hotels-Rancho-Valencia-Resort-And-Spa.h17535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ahwahnee](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-The-Ahwahnee.h974797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Eixample](https://www.expedia.ca/Eixample-Barcelona-Hotels.0-n6046260-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Alila Ventana Big Sur - Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterey-Hotels-Alila-Ventana-Big-Sur-Adults-Only.h574252.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Carmel Highlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Carmel-Hotels-Hyatt-Carmel-Highlands.h8495.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Yosemite-Valley-Lodge.h16279668.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893179.Hotel-Information) > > [Curry Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Curry-Village.h42942960.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort - Adults Only - All Inclusive - Grand Reopening Coming Soon!](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Secrets-Playa-Mujeres-Golf-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h7874912.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178291-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Calgary Shawnessy Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Calgary-Shawnessy-Area.h460231.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Portal-Hotels-Indian-Flat-RV-Park-Tent-Cabins-Cottages.h10409843.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa.h2941578.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambie Hostel Gastown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Cambie-Hostel-Gastown.h7613116.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.ca/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/maa/vancouver-to-chennai) > > [Ethiopian Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Ethiopian-Airlines-Flights.cET.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hyd/toronto-to-hyderabad) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico)
