Oceanfront and oh so charming, Sunset Escape is ready to welcome you with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and all of the comforts of home. As soon as you step foot inside, you will be greeted by a bright interior flooded with natural light, high-sned furnishings in each room, and white exposed ceilings that really give this space a beachy feel. Each day can start with a cup of coffee on the furnished deck as you listen to the waves crash in the near distance.

Great location

The view was amazing. The location is easy to find and the parking is good. Close access to beaches and Bodega Bay. Some of the furniture needs to be replaced and the house could use some updating. The kitchen is well equiped with lots of pots and pans. Plenty of utinsils and silverware. All in all, we had a enjoyable time!

Great views and location. Easy to find and good parking. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of pots and pans, silverware and dishes. Close to Bodega Bay and nearby beaches.The place needs some updating. The two sitting chairs looking out the front window are stained and a bit broken down. The couch in living room is old and saggy. The kitchen cabinets need paint. We didn't spend much time during the day there, too many beaches and other places to explore.We stayed 7 nights. Good restaurants in Bodega and the Wild Poppy in Sebastopol is a fun place to eat. Great food and atmosphere.All in all we had a good stay.

Sunset Escape

We truly did enjoy our stay here. The beds were comfy, nice little den to watch tv and the separate living area with the amazing ocean and sunset view made it exceptional. The location made it handy to explore beaches, come back make lunch and head out again. We would come again. Thank you for having us stay in your home.

Comfy beach house getaway

Really loved this place. Perfect, unobstructed view of the ocean. Even though right on the freeway, it was very quiet. Away from the crowds but less than 10 minutes to the heart of Bodega Bay restaurants and activities. Very comfortable accommodations with everything you need for a perfect getaway. Great place to go to relax and watch the waves crash on the rocks.

Best vacation ever

We have gone to quite a few beautiful places, but I can’t say enough about this spot you wake up in the morning, grab a cuppa coffee and go sit on the deck and listen to the ocean and then at night the beautiful sunsets, the kitchen, the living room, the whole space was just wonderful, so wonderful that we booked before we even left to come back in February Great place !!

Great location, ocean views

We loved the location of the house. Being able to see the ocean was a real plus. The home is comfortable including the beds. The air conditioner struggled at times, but we would open the door to let cool air in. Kitchen is a little dated but well stocked. Overall, we had a great stay

Sad not coming Back!

The one thing that kept on bringing us back is the view and the four chairs out front on the deck. We truly love sitting there for hours and seriously hours in the sun, listening to the waves watching the ocean. It was absolutely beautiful and very, very serene.

Beautiful beach house

The location is great and the view is incredible. We loved exploring the tide pools at Carmet beach across the street and it’s truly the best place to watch the sunset every night. I almost didn’t book this house because the reviews weren’t great, but we have no complaints. We loved our stay here!

Relaxing beach front getaway

This was our third time coming to this rental & there were some upgrades from our last vacation to the dinning area, the bedding and seats out front that made the stay even better. It’s directly across from the oceanfront so a quick walk down to the dog friendly beach. We went on a horse riding trail that was near by and the town of Bodega Bay is a short drive so the house is located in a great location. Two thumbs up & we’ll definitely return!

Gorgeous view!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for our honeymoon. The house is GORGEOUS! We checked in around sunset so we literally saw the sunset over the ocean from the big glass window. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom has a lot of room, and I loved the updated appliances. Check in process was a little difficult but we did figure it out. Nearest grocery store is 30 minutes no matter the direction so definitely shop on the way in.

Ocean Views for Days!

This property is a wonderful beach bungalow getaway! It is a charming cottage that is warm and welcoming and instantly feels like home. We brought our dog who loved sitting on the front deck soaking up the 180 degree ocean views and the cool, foggy weather. This property looks exactly as listed and was such an amazing place for our family to enjoy a bodega beach getaway. We plan on coming back for sure and highly recommend for anyone looking for stunning views, a comfortable home, and a dog friendly accommodation!!!!

Of course the view was amazing! Can't beat that. Being so close to the highway there is some noise and traffic but not a night or early morning. Sunsets are GORGEOUS! The electric kettle did not work, an ice maker would be terrific, but other than that, no complaints!

So disappointed

I love this house enough that I have stayed here at least 5 times prior. However when I arrived this time the house reeked of skunk smell, so profound my eyes burned. There was a big blue stain on the main bed and several window coverings were broken so I immediately notified the company. Communication was awful. 2 days later I received a text from their maintenance man confirming the house had been skunked and he did all he could do. I just can't believe that they would let me book the house without notifying me of this first. I kept windows open all day long but at night every time the heat ran it blew skunk stench in and would both wake me and irritate my eyes. When I got home I notified the company how disappointed I was in this experience and they offered absolutely nothing to make things right. I love this house, and location, and fenced yard; but am deeply disappointed that this happened. I wanted to book this place again in a couple months but now I'm sure I'm comfortable with that. And that saddens me.
