Our stay was wonderful. Amanda provided detailed instructions on getting to the place, door codes, etc. She was very responsive to our questions. everything was well labeled, clean, cozy. we really enjoyed the quiet and privacy this place provided. Even though the winds were howling outside we didn't hear a thing.

Amanda’s place was perfect for peaceful weekend getaway. I have a high standard for cleanliness and Amanda met that standard. The rooms, bathroom, and kitchen were all clean. The hot tub was clean and well-maintained. Amanda also provided plenty of cleaning supplies to use during our stay. All the cabinets and drawers were labeled so you knew where to find items and there was a binder that explained how things operated. The check in and check out process were both easy and flexible. There are two small grocery stores within walking distance, but I’d recommend doing a small trip before you arrive, if you can, since items are not pricier than normal. Amanda’s place is also driving distance to many well-known Bodega Bay restaurants, beaches, and hiking trails. We’re so happy we picked this place for our first trip to Bodega Bay!

This was such a great stay for a weekend spent exploring Bodega Bay and nearby beaches and trails! The kitchen is so well stocked and everything is very clearly labeled! The back room where our infant was sleeping got very cold, but Amanda offered right away to have a space heater sent over and had tips for making it warmer in the meantime. The king bed is VERY soft (okay for me, but my husband went and slept on the floor for part of the second night). Amanda was super responsive and friendly! It was my birthday and there was a nice card and bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. We had such a great time.
