We would go back again in a heartbeat. It is a short walk away from the public Monte Rio beach and restaurants and it is a short drive away from the ocean or Santa Rosa in the other direction. ##### Andrew P.

It was a perfect starting point to head to the ocean—Bodega Bay and Jenner as well as local hiking trails through the Redwoods. The kitchen was well stock with dishes, pots/pans, etc. There was even a crock pot! We took advantage of bbq grill a couple of evening. We all enjoyed the sauna. The enclosed yard provided a safe environment for our dog. The property management team was fabulous with fast responses to all of our questions and needs. We highly recommend this rental. ##### vicki b. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tom C. Jun 10, 2025 ##### Tom C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### vitaliy k.

Jul 7, 2024 Disliked: Communication #### Could be a gem…but Unmatched dishes, one teaspoon, every surface and cupboards filled with glassware ( enough for a small commercial bar), multiple utensils but all in terrible condition (including pots and pans). Bathroom and closets stuffed with towels, blankets, miscellaneous junk, no hangars ( but no room for a single guest item). Exterior maintenance marginal with little yard work and a broken gate. If you like leaving your belongings on the floor or in the living room… this place is for you. Single handle faucets made control of water temp very difficult and the hot water was dangerously hot. ##### Gary F.
