  This is our favorite home where we can spend time with college friends from the ‘60’s. It is large enough for everyone to have some privacy. The dining table is large and a great place for card and board games. This trip we worked on jigsaw puzzles on the table and large counter with bar stools. The kitchen could use more than one potholder though

  The view is great. We spent many hours sitting at the window watching the “sky and ocean” show. Kitchen and bathrooms are nice (new appliances, new toilets). I had complained about a few things in a review after an earlier visit — deck with a flimsy gate that would not stop a dog who spotted a deer, a missing window screen, no hot pads in kitchen. Those things have been fixed. The carpet is stained — as a Dog Mom, I get it (and I appreciate being able to bring my dogs to this house). We appreciated the nice coffeemaker (Cuisinart) with permanent filter and nice electric kettle. Great to have access to the garage and a remote for the garage door. Layout is nice for house-sharing — master bedroom on front of house, other bedrooms further back.

  This is a beautiful home with fantastic views. The kitchen was well equipped, beds and bedding extremely comfortable and the layout of the home was very nice. I would rent this home again. As always the Bodega Bay Escapes staff were kind and accommodating. I’ve always had the best experiences with them!

  Our family- 3 adults, and 3 kids spent this weekend at this beautiful spacious home. It is tastefully decorated in nautical colors. The home was comfortable for all of us to spread out and enjoy a peaceful few days away. Views of the ocean were incredible from the living room. We used the gas grill and made many meals at home. There is a trial in front of the house that leads to the beach but is quite steep. Overall we loved staying here!

  The "Endless Views" from this house were spectacular. Even better, we were 50 yards from the trailhead and could walk to the beach in five minutes. The open floor plan was so nice for our family Christmas. And the friendly staff pointed us to Spud Point Crab Company, which sent us home with some of the best clam chowder we'd ever had! Thanks, BB Escapes, for another rejuvenating weekend away.

  We've been renting homes in Bodega Harbour since the mid-90's and this home was by far the best. The home was beautifully appointed and had abundant and comfortable seating from which one could take in the amazing views toward Pt. Reyes. My family likes to cook so finding a well stocked kitchen was a treat. The bedrooms were nicely separated and the floor plan so well designed that the older folks could sleep in past the grandkids' 6:30 wake up time. Since the views from the kitchen and bedrooms were of echiums (no houses) we felt nicely secluded. The interior courtyard was a great place for the family dog to hang out. We plan to rent this house in the future.

  Since our last visit to this home in late March the owners have replaced all the kitchen appliances, making this home even more amazing. The layout of the home is perfect for us and our son and family (two little girls). They can arise early and be at one end of the house while we can sleep in. The furnishings, linens, and art are wonderful. I love to cook and the kitchen is well equipped with everything one would need. This visit we enjoyed watching the crows (ravens?) that perch on the trees opposite the gulch. We were visited by a doe and fawn who came up to the interior deck. It's nice having the preserved open space at the back of the house and great views of the hills and bay from the spacious and light-filled living room. We plan to return often. As I said in my former review, this is the nicest home we've rented in the 25+ years we've been coming here. Since there are no homes across the street this is a very quiet spot. Lots of people walking their dogs along the road but that's about it.

  Patty & Scott T from Auburn, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Our family stayed in Moonrise Kingdom on December 23-27, 2023. We had a fabulous time! The house was perfect for all of us and our small dog. The layout was easy to navigate and worked well as the bedrooms were away from the living room. The expansive kitchen with amazing amenities made it easy to make many holiday meals. One small suggestion would be for the owners to provide oven mitts and more potholders. The only potholders available were crocheted and very small.
  
  Prior to our stay I had read in the reviews that one guest was annoyed over the "stained carpet". While the carpet had some stains, it still felt clean. Keep in mind that this is a pet-friendly house, and a few stains on the carpeting is a small price to pay if it meant that we got to bring along our furry friend.
  
  The house was tucked away in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood well away from the busy golf course. While it had close beach access the trail down to it was a bit harrowing towards the end and I wouldn't recommend it for kids or the elderly. Just an FYI.
  
  I would absolutely recommend Moonrise Kingdom to a friend! The house was clean and well-maintained. We're hoping to be able to plan another stay soon!

  Our recent trip involved variable and extreme weather at the coast. A windy and wet storm arrived on our second day and two windows started to leak. Casey was sent out quickly with rags to mop up the leaks on the sills and carpet. When we mentioned there was a fireplace but no wood, he returned with wood and Duraflame logs (all in the midst of pouring rain and wind gusts.) The third day was sunny but that afternoon the battery in a smoke alarm started to fail, cheeping loudly every 45 seconds. The office was closed so I called the emergency number and 45 minutes later a woman arrived, hauled the tall ladder up from the garage and removed the battery; it was determined that the unit was defective so Casey returned with a new smoke alarm that he installed. This is why we are fans of the rental agency because they respond quickly and cheerfully to any problems that arise.

  We would have liked a property closer to the beach but it was not too far a walk using the Short Gulch Trail. There was poison oak on the trail and we had to be very careful especially with the children. We were not able to view the fireworks from the house but were able to find a spot near the golf course and loved the display over the bay. A highlight of the trip. The house was just right for the nights we had 10 family members there! We would definitely return to Endless Views with a large group.

  To make this home competitive, WIFI. **DEFINITELY ** needs to be installed! Internet access is no longer a luxury, but an everyday function of life, especially for those under the age of 45 years old. It is a relatively cheap fix for the homeowners. The cleanliness of the home left a little to b desired. DEAD FLIES and a moth on the window sills. Dusty and dirty under the beds-toy and food were there-and top of the fridge was gross. (yes we really did use the top). Bodega Bay Escapes peeps were fabulous, as were the ocean views. Thank tou. ?????
