When we walked into the Whale Watch the 1st thing we noticed was the gorgeous view. The living room, dining room & kitchen open concept was our favorite part of this house. We had a great time celebrating the New Year. ##### Jill D.

Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful home! We love the views of Dillon Beach and Lawson’s landing from the the house, brought some good binoculars hopping to see whales swimming by, but maybe next time! Beautiful drive to point Reyes area! Stopped at south beach (beautiful) our dog Mowgli had a blast! On our way back we stopped to eat at Nicks Cove ( good delicious food). It was hard for us to pack up and leave this house!!!! ##### Rene R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### stacey p. 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls Trip Getaway Thank you for sharing you house. It is beautiful!!! We enjoyed our stay. The view, hot tub, fireplace was amazing. Loved entering the home with ambiance of the fireplace with the soothing screen saver on the TV. Much needed relaxing weekend away. I have no complaints and would definitely rent Whale Watch house again and again and again......I can't say enough. I've rented other houses in Bodega and by far this one was my favorite. The walk to the beach was definitely not for the faint. There are some pretty steep hills, it is a workout. The kitchen had everything we needed. ##### stacey p.

Reviewer Comments: The location of Whale Watch has a beautiful view of Tomales Bay to the mouth of the Pacific. My family and I also loved the spa and enjoyed playing many of the games downstairs - there was something to appeal to every age group. The one disappointment was that the kitchen was missing some basic cooking equipment(measuring spoons and cups, mixing bowls, etc.) ##### Christina C.
