We loved hearing the waves at night and the mornings brought feathered visitors on the sand when the tide was out. Point Reyes is nearby for hiking and wine country has lots of options within an hour or two of the cottage so you can combine two vacations in one!

I would add it to the clear instructions of how to download map directions because there is no cellular service.

The hot tub was hot and clean! We slept well and appreciated the high quality of the kitchen appliances and cookware. Fantastic bird/boat watching. We were disappointed with the Bluetooth gadgets that require "a learning curve" just to listen to music off my phone. Should have brought my own Bose wireless. Also had to wear my sunglasses inside in the evening to function with the VERY bright sunsets; beautiful but no blinds on the slider door. Missed the dryer location for our (thin) spa robes. Another building perhaps? Huge thanks to Aaron for the 6 page visitors guide - Point Reyes cheese factory was a great place!

Beautifully Furnished Cottage Wow. Seriously we do not rent private cottages/lofts/homes etc. because honestly, we usually do not like the furnishings/decor. However, this teeny little cottage is surprisingly appointed with some chic Mid-Century pieces (dining table & chairs, arm chair, table lamp) and the color scheme throughout was all very pleasing subtle shades of blue. Loads of personal great touches (bar utensils, telescope, cool books, board games, good bathroom toiletries, etc.) Likewise, terrific kitchen appliances & bathroom sink/shower stall. Also, the cottage feels secluded, not jammed too close to other buildings. The view from the living room with the HUGE glass sliding doors and the wrap around deck over the water were fabulous too. The entire locale of Marshall/Point Reyes/Tomales offer lots of great seafood (oysters!) and there are gourmet grocery stores, shops, coffee houses LOTS of visitor centers to help with hiking choices and even mid-week when many of the tourist favorites are not opened, we were able to get some rez secured a few weeks before we headed up. Cowgirl Creamery & Heidrun Meadery are worth the visits. We'd go stay again at this cottage in a heart beat. ##### Karl Walter L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue M.

Jun 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “A Serene Respite” I surprised my husband with a four day getaway and when we arrived we both knew we would have the perfect time. The scenery on the drive there was calming with the beautiful cypress trees lining the road, the farm animals grazing in vast green pastures along the way. The wide open space reminiscent of my childhood. We pulled up slowly to the house and it was exactly as pictured. The water meets the house enchantingly, such a beautiful view. The house was fresh, clean, and welcoming. Many special touches throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Robes hung for us in the bathroom. I was so happy with the choices of hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and dish soap that was supplied in the house. The owner and management are so conscientious. I could have spent our whole four days snuggled in the cottage enjoying the view of the waves, birds, and boats, but we ventured out and visited some local shops that were recommended by the owner. (A great binder has been prepared for guest of the cottage. It is filled with tons of info about the cottage and the surrounding area.) We also dined at two restaurants in town and were quite happy with the staff recommendations. We pinned the area of land that you see directly across the water from the cottage and drove over one day to hike and the views from the rocks are absolutely break-taking. We did a little climbing to get up there, but it was totally worth it. Going back to the cottage, taking a warm shower, and snuggling up in a blanket against the glow of the fire in the gas stove while being serenaded by the water out the sliding glass door was always our perfect evening. AND THE STARS IN THE SKY AT NIGHT! Yes, a bit excited about that. There is a hot tub, but because of how windy it was during our visit we chose not to use it. Our kayaking adventure was one we will not forget. It was a bit too windy for that too and we were forced to cut it short, however, it was a great adventure! We definitely look forward to staying at Driftwood Cottage again in the future. So much thought went into setting up this little cottage for its guest. Thank you Drftwood Cottage. ##### Meléa D.

I would never talk to someone or anybody like that. We are in the customer service business and you guys are the worst. Worst of all the language of the owner and property Worst experience ever If I could send copies of the email by property mgmt and owner ##### Mark K.

They respond quickly! The location was excellent as are the views. The kayaks were fun and we appreciate the fact the Owner lets renters use them, if a waiver is signed. There is a lot to do in the area; Point Reyes National Park (77,000 acres), hiking and bike trails all over. We road the Cross Marin Trail which was very flat. It parallels Lagunitas Creek. ##### Shelley F. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### judy g.

The nights were in low 30's during our stay and the gas fireplace warmed up the place nicely. Pots and pans could use an upgrade. ##### judy g.

Everything at Driftwood Cottage was perfect! The location right on the bay was beautiful. The cottage was very comfortable. Loved all the blankets and linens! The hot tub felt amazing after walking down 319 steps to the lighthouse. The kayaks were an added bonus for the calm mornings. Overall, a perfect weekend getaway! ##### Lisa b.
