Beachfront vacation rentals in Russian River

There was no one around during our stay. Had deer in the backyard along with a little fox friend. Very relaxing and much needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Would definitely recommend.

This is our second time staying here and we’ll probably come again! It’s so peaceful. The property is beautiful with plenty of space for our dogs to run, my son had a great time playing basketball and my husband launched his kayak right onto the lake for a weekend of fishing. Amelia goes above and beyond and is so helpful. We loved the personalized card and snacks. Definitely would recommend!!

Beautiful place and beautiful views. Perfect for a getaway with a small family. I already can see us coming back here. They had fishing rods in the apartment and the dock is below the house so it’s a great activity for folks who want to enjoy the place, do a few low key activities. We had internet issues but Quincy was very prompt to help us out and get it fixed. I recommend this place for a nice getaway with family

The house was beautiful and a restful place away from the city. I agree with other reviews and it was super clean. My small family thoroughly enjoyed the house and its proximity to hiking trails and Healdsburg downtown.

We rented this home for a family gathering during a cold, rainy weekend in late March. Even though it was off season for recreation on the river, this location proved to be the perfect, warm, cozy place to spend lazy mornings watching the rain fall and to share meals in the evening. The decor feels very old school "cozy cabin on the river" from a warmer, friendlier era, when families would spend whole summers on the Russian River. The views from the windows are peaceful and beautiful and no one minded keeping the wood stove going or hand washing dishes. It was all part of the charm of the house. We appreciated the very specific directions to the house and the advice to arrive well before dark. The narrow, winding roads along the river aren't the easiest to navigate, even for locals! We appreciated the rain holding off for a few hours so we could explore Armstrong Redwoods on a moist, cloudy morning. We were treated to majestic trees, lush moss, and even banana slugs! Thank you!

Staying here was awesome. A quick phone call with Ben, who was great, got us straightened out for the weekend. Very peaceful, clear instructions for how to use things, and the pinball is a blast!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming carriage house with our family of four. The place is set in a beautiful area —location is great for nearby hiking adventures. The interior design is stylish yet cozy, making it feel like a home away from home, and the private dock adds a unique touch to the waterfront vibe. Overall, a great spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!

Patricia is a lovely host, very accommodating and responsive! The home is huge and very well equipped. We had a great time and gorgeous weather...of course, weather's beyond anyone's control, but it is especially spectacularly beautiful there in the bright sun under a clear blue sky!

Exceeded expectations and would definitely stay again. Great hosts with clear and defined instructions that made the check in/ check out and over all stay nice and easy

The view was amazing and it was so close to the bluff trails. The sleeping arrangements were great, the room with the two single beds was a nice surprise with its own deck. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace which really warmed up the place.

Beautiful and super clean house in the magical woods. We loved the window seats everywhere and watching the deer visit every day. The beds are very comfy and towels plush. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub under the stars. Some aspects of the house are a little more rustic than modern, but still very comfortable and cozy. The owner is super responsive and thoughtful and obviously cares a lot about her home.

Exactly as described/pictured. Super easy checkin in and very responsive host who also kindly offered local recommendations that also were great. Winter trip so no jumping in the lake or swimming in pool but still had great time fishing from the property, soaking in hot tub after hiking, roasted s’more’s in fire-pit (bring your own wood) and calming lake views while playing board games/eating. Family is already asking when can we go back….

Absolutely stunning views. Marlene’s place is a peaceful oasis in the Bodega Bay area. Marlene is a great host and very responsive. One of the best parts of my stay was the amazing hiking trails and beach access just a few steps outside the front door!

We loved how easily accessible the lake is with your own dock and a launch not too far away. Our kids loved the Lilly pad, slide and kayaks provided! There were also a lot of life jackets available which was nice. The bottle of wine and complimentary tastings at a local winery was a nice touch! I loved the boho decor and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen. We will definitely be back another time :)

A great spot with amazing views, and so quiet! The house was spacious and clean, as advertised. Can't wait to go back next time I want to play golf.

This lake house was perfect in every way! Both the inside and outside were amazing, offering the ideal getaway. The view of the moon at night reflecting on the lake was breathtaking, casting a beautiful shadow over the water. You see wildlife surroundings and also birds which migrates during the winter. From the bedroom, the view was absolutely fantastic it’s the kind of scenery that makes you feel completely relaxed and at peace. Overall staying here felt like therapy for the soul. It’s definitely worth every moment and I highly recommend it !!

We had a lovely stay at the Vacasa Bodega Bay house, check in was easy and the house had plenty of room for our group. We did have toddlers and there are a lot of stairs in the house - something to be aware of with young children or folks with mobility issues. The house was clean, and had a beautiful ocean view. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and was an easy walk to the beach. We also walked to the Pinnacle Gulch trail and hiked to Pinnacle Rock beach which was really fun, and great for families, lots of fun tide pools at the beach. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and watching the stars in the evening. I would stay again and recommend as a relaxing vacation spot.

The place was an oasis away from the busyness of life. My wife did not want to go anywhere during the day. She and the family loved it! We hope to return soon.

This was the third time we stayed here and we've already booked again for next year. It's "bountiful" in every way as one in our group described it. The view is spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked with anything one might need to prepare any meal. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. Plenty of comfortable living room furniture for our group of six to relax and catch up with each other. We love everything about this house!

We had the best time at Charlie’s home and made some great memories! The home was super spacious, clean, and had all the amenities needed. We especially loved how the natural light flowed into the kitchen and dining room. The views of the river and redwood trees was so breathtaking. It’s also in a great location, just a few minutes from Guernville and a Safeway if you need groceries. We are already talking about coming back next summer. Thank you Charlie!
