It feels like being on an ocean liner as it's right over the water. I brought my mom here for her 80th birthday in lieu of a trip to Ireland we had to cancel. The area has so much of the feeling of Ireland. She was so happy and loved the house as well. We will surely be back.The owners were lovely as well and Fred was prompt in responding to a question I had. thank you for our magical stay. Alexis ##### Alexis S.

Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A time to relax It is a little off the beaten track as Hwy 1 winds down the coast, but you won't be disappointed once you arrive! The house is divided into two rentals, but they are totally separate. The views from the Admiral's Quarters over the bay are terrific and the rental is built and furnished in an authentic nautical theme complete with portholes and ship's equipment. If you love the sea, you will feel very much at home here. The kitchen needs a little work but has a plentiful supply of dishes and cooking accessories and is furnished with one of the best-stocked pantries we have seen in a VRBO (and we have stayed in many). This place was very quiet and the bed comfortable, which made for very nice sleeping. All and all, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay, a chance to eat some great seafood and explore a part of the coast that was new to us. ##### Ernst C.

It poured the entire time we were there but the house was a cozy place to ride out the storm. ##### Al E.

After a day of amazing hiking, coming back to the house to watch the sunset and sleep with the lapping waves is what life should be all about. It was an awesome base and i look forward to returning soon. ##### Tim M.

It’s truly a little piece of paradise and you couldn’t get closer to the water if you were on a boat. Comfy bed too! This was our second time here and we’ll be back again in the future. ##### Lisa H.

The apartment is so well decorated and it has everything you would need. The cute village of Pt Reyes is close by for your shopping needs. The only small negative is the shared bedroom wall with the other apartment is very thin so you can hear and understand what the other people are saying. Hopefully the other guests are as quiet and respectful as mine were during my visit. ##### Karen E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan H.

The Admiral's Quarters was the nicest home we have stayed at, by far. The decorations and overall quality of the home were exceptional. My only (very minor) gripe was that the hot tub cycled throughout the night. I am a light sleeper, so it would sometimes wake me as it is outside of the bedroom window. But, I would not let that keep us from booking again. Overall, highly recommended! ##### Nathan H.

Our second visit within a few months. We love visiting Point Reyes and this delightful place puts us close enough to do that but also right on Tomales Bay which we love. With Tony’s Seafood and Hog Island Oysters practically next door we are well fed as well. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David E., Saint Helena Oct 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First Class Experience Very well-appointed cottage right on the water with 180 degree views of Tomales Bay and the Pt. Reyes penninsula. Have stayed in the property multiple times and already looking forward to my next one! ##### David E. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022
