Family Fun for First-Time Bodega Bay Vacationers
Review Submitted: August 14, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
We stayed here for 3 nights total over a weekend in July. In total, we had 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The location was ideal to walk to the beach, where the sand was extremely clean but the water pretty cold so no swimming. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the wrap around patio area that was conveniently situated right outside the living room and kitchen so that we could keep an eye on them while they played outside. We appreciated 1 downstairs room that was a bit separated from the rest of the home because we have 1 child who is a light sleeper so we could make some comfortable noise. The kitchen was well-equipped with spices, oil, coffee, flour, sugar and almost every cooking gadget you'd need, and we took advantage of this since we love to cook. We took off 1 star because our standard for cleanliness for a place might be high, but we felt that the floors were a bit grimy and sandy to walk on (and there is a request for shoes off which is understandable in a sandy community). Also, the refrigerator seemed to leak some water; after the fridge was left untouched for several hours, you'd open it and about 1 cup of water would be underfoot so we were constantly wiping up the area. The hot tub was an added bonus since we didn't expect it to be ready to use and nicely warmed. One of the best features was the open, airy living space, very sunny and inviting. The architecture was quite unique for a contemporary home. Overall, we all thoroughly enjoyed the vacation and were so relaxed. Thank you!
