Charming almost whimsical beach house. Lots of recent remodeling done. Some remodeling still in the works. Very comfortable, quiet, with immediate walking access to dunes and beach. Exceptionally comfortable beds. We are planning our next visit.

Cute funky beach cottage that was well equipped. Appreciated that it was dog friendly, had a fenced yard and short walking distance to the beach. Lovely location. Would be even better during warmer weather when we could enjoy the cut outdoor space.

We had an awesome vacation at Driftwood cottage. The yard is big and the dogs loved the space. The kitchen was well stocked. The check in and check out instructions were clear and easy to follow. We were able to get many streaming services for movies etc and Internet was excellent. It’s about 30 minutes to bigger cities like Petaluma, Sebostopol. Because of an endangered bird dogs aren’t allowed on the beach but we were able to find a trail in the neighbourhood and a couple on bodega bay with paid parking. Doran beach allows dogs. It’s very quiet here in Salmon Creek which was great for R&R. We had a great stay! Thank you Jennifer

We had the most amazing stay at this little beach shack! From the peaceful trail leading right down to the beach to the beautiful yard, everything felt like the perfect setting for a family getaway. The home was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed to relax and truly enjoy our time together.Our family especially loved the game nights and the laid-back, welcoming vibe. It was the kind of place where you can slow down, unplug, and just be present with the people you love. We already miss it and can’t wait for the chance to come back again soon!

Loved the location! Walked to the beach for sunsets. I woke up early to watch the sun rise over the houses. Loved the back yard for my dog. We couldn't get a fire going, assuming the wood was too wet but it was great to have that option.

This sweet beach house was more than we hoped for. It had everything we could need, is decorated beautifully in a comfy coastal cabin style. It has a very large fenced outdoor area, perfect for our small dog, and walking distance to the beach is outstanding. It has a short drive to restaurants, grocery stores and sightseeing. We truly enjoyed ourselves, even when just hanging out at the house. Communication with the host was great. We hope to be back again and again!

One of our favorite vacation rentals—ocean front without the wind. The beach just on the other side of the dunes and a short walk to the waters edge. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood. The collected over time beach decor is interesting and charming. The house is well-equipped. Deer and quail wander through the yard. Close to Bodega area shops and restaurants. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed the large fenced yard. We hope they’ll have us back again next year!

Very clean and homey property. our dog loved the yard and his walks through the neighborhood. If you bring a dog, go on DogTrekker.com to see all the places your dog can explore with you. Kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed and the living room is so cozy. The queen bed was a bit firm for our tastes but for a few nights it was fine. The only thing that would have improved the stay was if dogs could go to the Salmon Creek beach (but we know that's not under the homeowner's control and the plovers are protected). Would definitely come again

Cute little beach cottage with a fenced in backyard perfect for dogs. although the house is pet-friendly, the beach which is just around the corner is not. (There are other dog-friendly beaches, we headed to Doran which has an off-leash area.). The cottage is not walkable to other things like restaurants but it is a good location to head to Jenner for the day or Pt Reyes, and just a short drive into Bodega Bay. Very clean. Internet could be spotty, I wan't there to work so I got by moving to a different room. I lucked out & had great weather, wish I'd planned a day to sit out on the patio and do nothing. Talked to dog-walking neighbors, generally a friendly area.
