Bodega Bay - Sonoma Coastline

10/10 Excellent

"The house was exactly what our little family needed to enjoy Bodega Bay, it was clean and cozy and close to everything we wanted to do in the area. Check in was easy, the house was well equipped.The beach and sand dunes are a short walk through the cypress trees, and we walked on the beach to watch the sunset. The only heads up I would give other guests is that dogs are not allowed on the beach right next to the home. There are other places nearby they can go so it didn't end up being a big deal for us.Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there longer in the future."
