beautiful Bodega get away

The house was amazing. The kitchen had everything imaginable. The furnishings throughout were super comfortable. Every imaginable amenity from video games and movies, geocaching gps and info; family games and toys. Great ocean views. A nice place for walks. Right on the golf course. There were long beautiful beaches close by. The local restaurants are great. Be sure and visit Occidental for the Italian food at Negris or the Union Hotel and definitely go to Osmosis spa in Freestone. It is truly amazing. Gorgeous Japanese gardens there.
There is a local ranch where you can go horseback riding on the beach. The kids loved it.
The owners made the process of renting very simple.
All in all - one of the best vacations ever.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had such a wonderful time -- sooooo relaxing! We saw the most beautiful sunsets from the comfort and warmth of the upstairs media room, enjoyed the hot tub, the beach -- flew kites and played in the water. It was especially nice to be able to walk less than 10 minutes to the beach. This house has everything! The many board games to choose from was a nice surprise and our kids had a blast! We highly recommend this house for anyone looking to get away and relax!
Thanks again and we'll most definitely be back --- that's for sure!

Thanks Debbie and Dave for allowing us to share your home in Pacific Grove, we didn't get unpacked and were all ready looking at calendar for a return trip. The communication's prior to our arrival with Debbie was paramount, its really great to have a good feeling about a place that you have never been.. We are retired and travel thruout California, no other accomodations are anywhere close to what we had at your home... I captured via camera , the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen. Yes, we highly recommend your home!! See you the end of June 09

our family had a fantastic weekend at pacific view. we've done many vacation rentals and home exchanges over the years, and this one really stood out. why? first off, this home really is child-friendly (and they have the "kid stuff" and understanding ethos to prove it!). second, the post-stay cleaning expectations are reasonable (i.e., you tidy things up nicely but don't find yourself having to vacuum and scrub the floors with a toothbrush while you ponder why you've paid a cleaning fee!). third, the house is lovely and well laid out, the hot tub works great (sadly, too often a rarity), the living room has superb views and is enormous, and the location is perfect (a super-short walk to the beach, which our 5 and 1.5-year-olds handled just fine). we lucked out with great weather, but the home would also be ideal for cozying up in cold weather (great fireplace, and that hot tub!). plus, the tarcas were lovely to deal with and made those extra gestures that made us feel welcome. thank you for a great time. we'll be back!

We spent New Years in this great house with our children and grand children. Did the same thing 2 yrs ago. Waited too long to reserve for last year so we've already reserved for next year. Its a really great place to be in the winter - secure and cozy - good fireplace - hot hot tub. We love walking on the beach. This has to be one of the best maintained and stocked vacation rentals in the world! thanx

I honestly can't tell you enough how much we needed this. What a great Christmas present to each other! I was so pleasantly surprised to find this amazing home so ready for us to just walk in and enjoy. We were so lucky to have two beautiful days before the rain today. Thank you for everything...I felt like it was my home away from home!

Review Submitted: January 3, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
This year we decided to go a bit north for Thanksgiving. We spent the past 5+ years in Morro Bay. Bodega Bay and your beautiful home was a better destination by far - actually it is about 1/2 the distance from home - an advantage for sure. Your home is totally family friendly and we packed more than necessary for our grandson. You really know how to anticipate family needs. You have everything and all is new and comfortable and complete. The views are fantastic also. You even proveded a bed and chew stick for Puck-the-Papillion! We hope to return here as it is the best vacation rental we have ever used. Thanks for being so thoughtful. We really enjoyed staying in your home.

We had an incredible 1st visit to Bodega Bay - this house is awesome! We brought our 4 year old and 2 year old daughters and they just had the greatest time. The house is well appointed and we were pleasantly suprised by just how well it was stocked. The access to the beach was just icing on the cake. We used this weekend as a place to get away with our friends from S.F. and it was the perfect meeting point. Thanks for making such a great family friendly place available in such a beautiful part of the California coast.

We stayed in this home last Summer as well as our recent visit. What a wonderful GEM! The PROS of this home: Layout (bdrms in back are great for kids while adults take front/use liv. rm TV/Stereo late at night..etc); well stocked with EVERYTHING (we always bring too much!); Well lit (I love lots of skylights); VIEWS (best sunsets!!); Easy walk to beach; Love the beach stuff; CLEAN! (Unusual for rentals); Beds/rooms/furniture...all comfortable. I love the GPS and the intoduction to Geocaching! Thanks for the little extras like the beach pass! These are what endear us to this home along with all the rest. The only con is that this home is popular (as it should be!) Book early... Debbie you are GREAT to work with. Book us in for next year!
