Guest access:
The home is set up for self check-in. Guests can access the home via lockbox and will have access to the entire home.
Other things to note:
1. Confirmed guests will receive a local "Insider's Guide". We're a family business deeply connected to our community, and we hope you'll enjoy and respect this beautiful corner of the world while supporting our local economy sustainably. We love sharing it with our guests!
2. The home is professionally cleaned with eco-friendly products.
3. No chores for our guests! That’s what the cleaning fee is for, right? We have a fantastic team of housekeepers, some of whom have worked with us for over 10 years. We fully clean each home top to bottom, fully restocking all amenities, replacing worn-out items, and keeping things fresh and pleasant for our guests. We use top-notch cleaning products without annoying scents or chemicals, and our cleaners are paid living wages because they are the backbone of what we do and you’ll appreciate their attention to detail.
4. Please be mindful of our quiet neighborhood after dark, and no parties or gatherings without prior approval. If you're looking for a place to cut loose and laugh and play music late into the night, we have other homes nearby that are more appropriate. Please ask us for alternative accommodation and we’d be happy to help find a place!
**Please ensure you read the house rules and comply before booking.**

You are literally on Tomales Bay when you stay here. Two of our 4 nights, about an hour before sunset hundreds of birds, mostly cormorants gave us a show right off of the deck, diving and flying. Other times we got to watch pelicans repeatedly circle and dive. One morning an otter appeared. We hope to return.

What an amazing rental right over the water on Tomales Bay. Hog Island oysters, Tony’s Seafoood, Marshall’s are very close by. The views are priceless, and you can hear the waters below. The fireplace was well stocked. A cozy, clean, comfortable stay. Would definitely stay here again.

This lovely studio sits on piers right over lapping water. It's exactly as depicted: spacious, really well laid out, with a great deck and window seat to hang out on, fantastic views and good privacy. Cleanliness was excellent and the property is well cared for. From the managers I received the best “insider tips” on the region of any vacation property I’ve rented. I was happily surprised that the kitchen had REAL heavy-bottomed stainless steel pans, plenty of good utensils and dishes (though no baker). The other surprise was the how bright the stars and Milky Way could be at this elevation. One note: the advertised hot tub is on the grounds of the adjoining unit. I was able to use it only because that unit was empty. Very sweet place; I hope to return.
