Incredible property with views from every level. House was extremely comfortable and clean. Fenced yard was great for our dogs.

There is close access to a very quiet beach that we loved and restaurants were only about a 15 min drive away. The views are truly breathtaking and it was wonderful waking up to the views and ocean sound. We will definitely be back. The extra perk is that the house is dog friendly! ##### Helen K.

We had a lovely weekend stay at The Cliff House. The location and views are as advertised. Property is beautifully furnished and well stocked with anything you need for weekend beach getaway. There’s easy access to a lovely uncrowded beach just down road and Bodega Bay’s shops and restaurants are quick drive away. The Property owner was responsive and very helpful. ##### Ted D.

We wish we had more time to spend at the house to enjoy it and the ocean scenery and sound. The hostess Sherri was also fantastic. She was very fast to respond to messages and provided great restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend staying here, you will simply be missing out if you don’t! ##### Samantha B.

We truly enjoyed our time here in this architectural masterpiece. We had terrible weather but the panoramic views and fireplace created the perfect place for making soup and playing board Sherri is a fantastic host and is very diligent to any needs we had. She is currently working on the home, so any quitks were or willbefixed soon. There is plentycookware and bakeware. You will need to bring your own spices. There is abounty of towels and pillows provided. Everything is very stylish, we enjoyed the use of binoculars that were there for the view! There is a wet bar...if you bring your supplies. That's fun. Our family really enjoyed our stay. ofgames. ##### Jen F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B. 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Special place with breathtaking views If you dream about waking up and going to sleep with pristine views of the beach and the sound of crashing waves, this is THE PLACE. Stunning property with huge windows on both floors overlooking a beautiful beach and rocky outcroppings on the Sonoma coast. The house itself is really cool - vintage 70s design and decor with lots of wood but not old in its amenities at all. New windows give spectacular views but minimal noise - you'll sleep like a baby on this quiet street, perched above the beach. It's an easy 2 minute walk to the beach access down the cliff or you can drive 1/2 a mile and pay 10 to park and walk right onto the beach (perfect for those seniors with a bit less mobility). We loved the retro appliances and the Smart TV's (Vizio) which had every app under the sun and was easy to use. We had our dog with us and she loved being at the beach every day and the street just outside was perfect for her pee and poop breaks. There's even a small fenced in patch off the kitchen for those late "let the dog out before bed" moments. I hope to return to this special place again - we had a very memorable week and the house was a huge part of that. Thank you for sharing this property with us! ##### Sarah B.

The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - and we especially loved the assortment of games available for a cozy night in. The house is walking distance to the beach it overlooks, and my dog loved all the sights and smells. The decor is adorable with bright colors and mid century modern flair. Just a note that restaurants and markets are all at least 20 min away, so definitely be prepared for your food options.We'd definitely stay again. If a quiet getaway with sounds of the ocean is what you're looking for - this is the perfect place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael G. 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Michael G.
