"I’ve stayed multiple times. The rooms feel homey. They’re clean, a bit dated, but that’s okay so long as it’s clean. My socks were cleaner tha when I walk around my own home."

"The only problem that I had was that the lock on my door was broken or malfunctioning, because when I turned the knob to lock it, it kept turning and didn’t engage. Besides that, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone."

Erinleigh by the Sea ~ On the mouth of the Russian River, Wildlife Show from you

Erinleigh by the Sea ~ On the mouth of the Russian River, Wildlife Show from you

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Erinleigh! The cottage is beautiful with nothing but huge windows looking out to the Russian River right off the deck. We loved sitting out in the morning with coffee and watching the great blue heron, egret and various ducks and in the evening enjoying the calm of the river at high tide and streaks of color in the sky.The living area was open and spacious, Bed was very comfortable and the bedroom is set up in the space so that you can look out all those windows. The cathedral ceilings, ceiling fan and lighting make the space so welcoming. As others mentioned, the bathroom with the clawfoot tub and shower curtain is the only thing a little clunky but the cottage itself, location and views make that insignificant.The cottage is right on Highway One but it was very quiet. There are several other homes along that stretch, and we missed it the first time but afterwards didn’t have any issues. There’s a restaurant that you can walk to with beautiful sunset views from the deck but another awesome spot for the sunset is a pull off a little past the restaurant where you can see more harbor seals than you can count. We also were fortunate enough to see whale spouts and a quick glimpse of the back of a humpback. Just want to mention another great place for dinner is Cape Fear in Duncan Mills. Only four miles from Jenner with cute little shops to enjoy.Definitely a great place to stay along Highway One and enjoy the Pacific Coast and Russian River!"

"Great location. Close to downtown and to the beach, everything within a few minutes walk. The home was clean and well cared for. The host was responsive with communication. If you have younger children who like stairs, bring a gate to block them off. Would stay here again."

Oceanfront Views Get-Away Carbon Beach - Starfish

8/10 Good
"Absolutely stunning beachfront location. You can hear the waves lapping up off the front porch. Major down side is no air conditioning and trust me, you need it for mid August heat. They do have two vornado fans for your use. The bedroom windows don’t have screens so I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them open all night and it got hot to sleep. They have tiny ants in all the rooms, they didn’t really bother me. Check in was seamless and off street parking was great. There is a coffee maker but no coffee or tea so make sure you bring some if that’s your jam. Bed wasn’t super comfortable but not horrible either. Location was perfect, walking distance to the pier."
