Beachfront vacation rentals in Sonoma County

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.

The place was awesome and cool. Would stay again :)

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at your home. The house was well appointed and had everything that we needed/wanted. The setting was gorgeous. We loved getting to view wildlife right from the house and take in the beautiful views. The host was very responsive and sent helpful messages with information in anticipation to our arrival and departure. We definitely look forward to returning!

I almost hesitate to say how great this place was so that it stays a hidden gem that’s available to us for stay after stay. It has stunning views from every window, is more spacious than it appears in photos and exceeded all of our expectations. Particularly fabulous were all the stunning houseplants - including some two stories high - that were all healthy and happy. We could not believe this is a dog friendly place - there wasn’t any evidence that a dog had ever been inside. Immaculate. Ted was responsive and friendly. We hope to be back soon!!

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!

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!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Kevin’s place and it won’t be the last! Perfect location next to the lodge (walkable for meals and drinks) but completely private and very well equipped to never leave if you don’t want to!

Hidden gem! Amazing place amazing hosts amazing everything!

A Great spot in an idilic landscape. Super peaceful and quiet, house was perfect

Beautiful home perfectly situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. Gorgeous ocean views with a lovely deck with dining table and outdoor seating area with gas fireplace. Spacious kitchen and living room - plenty of space for our family with two young kids.

This was a wonderful property.! The house was very clean, furnishings newer and comfortable and the place is well decorated, together with many essential amenities. Nightlights in each of the 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms and hallways were very useful. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Oceanview was nice, close to the bluff and walking trail. Surrounding areas were very tranquil and private - exactly what we go to Sea Ranch for. Host was very generous in letting us check-in at noon, given the property was clean and ready for us. Overall a fantastic experience and we would definitively book the property again. Some minor suggestions for improvement: Replace current kitchen knives with some that are usable - the current ones are no good. Remote for ceiling fan above dining room doesn’t work. Replace current non-functional flash light with a rechargeable one. A couple of boxes of facial tissues in the house would be nice to have and some aluminum foil for baking.

Such an amazing stay and visit! We had an extremely relaxing a peaceful stay at Sea Ranch. The house is so welcoming and stocked with anything you could need. Everything is so thoughtful, and well appointed, you feel like you are at home. We loved all the little details about this place that is such a treasure and clearly so loved. We saw so many animals, and could easily walk to the beach. You can hear the Ocean from your window and enjoy your coffee in the morning watching the ocean. Honestly, Nate and Nora’s place is our new favorite at sea ranch. Hosts are so nice and quick to respond. We had a lovely time relaxing, and being out in nature. Thank you both so much, we only have good things to say, thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

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.

Had a wonderful stay at Willa and Craig's home. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space to spread out. The loft was a hit with our five year old. Location is great, roughly five minute drive to Gualala and a short walk to the beach. Would stay again!

It was such a wonderful girls weekend away in Bodega Bay. The place has the most beautiful views and it is a short walk to the beach. Everything in the house was nice and in order and the hot tub was amazing. The views and location are hard to beat! I hope to be back.

This is a fantastic place for a weekend to explore the surroundings. We came with a big family (Grandfather, 2 siblings and their S.Os, and 3 grandkids) and felt right at home. We used this place as a home base to explore the area, hiking around Jenner, wineries, the Russian River, and Bodega Bay itself. Kids loved opening up the back porch and just walking to the beach over the dunes (adults loved it as well). Hosts were responsive and polite throughout - easy and clear check in. And Jacuzzi to relax in after the hikes :). Kitchen is great - fully stocked with everything we needed (we bought fresh fish from the local fish market and cooked at home every night). Highly recommend for a family looking to get away and relax and spend a few days at a slower pace.

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s place. It was serene, green and peaceful. It was a cosy log cabin with the feel of yesterday years with its vintage gadgets. We loved it and spend a relaxing weekend there. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a calming peaceful time on the banks of the Russian river. Jennifer is a great host.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Absolutely stunning views onto Tomales Bay and egrets, great blue herons, river otters, seagulls and the stunning mountains all around. Hot tub was fantastic looking out over the water. We kayaked out and back from the cottage. A totally cozy, warm, quirky cottage with everything you'll need. Very well-appointed kitchen as well as comfy beds and linens. The owners were so friendly, responsive and helpful with our questions. The cottage's water comes from a pump so the one thing I'd note is that water pressure is low/high as the pump kicks into gear, which can also be a bit noisy so we chose to do dishes/run the dishwasher after our daughter was asleep. We can't wait to return to this tranquil, gorgeous spot.

This is a beautiful house that my family thoroughly enjoyed staying in! Our stay was effortless and extremely comfortable. The surrounding property is amazing, with gorgeous views and landscapes. Location worked perfectly for us as we wanted to see Napa, Sonoma and redwoods. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay Bodega Bay.

Our family of three had the most incredible stay at this oceanfront home! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the beautiful views and peaceful atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been more perfect – just steps from the beach, allowing us to enjoy early morning walks and sunsets right outside our door. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The open layout was perfect for spending quality time together, and there was plenty of space for each of us to have a little privacy when needed.

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!
