If you have had a hectic period and want a breather, this is definitely the place. The home, with its large view windows and glass doors affording a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and the lagoon with its wildlife, is built on supports right over the wetlands. It has an open floor plan which leads to a large deck and is well furnished. Walks into the cute town or up around the neighborhoods or driving the short distance to the Mt Tam trails afforded us a variety of activities when we wanted to do them. In fact, there were so many options of activities we didn't get to the majority of them. The unexpected pleasant surprise of the stock of household items like laundry soap, basic cooking staples, kitchen necessities like saran wrap, and bath soaps and lotions were a welcoming touch. The only downside is no wifi but a temporary contract for Hot Spot service with my cell carrier solved that issue. Teri, the owner, was always responsive to my questions which made our stay worry-free. I hope to be able to return. ”

We just spent a week at this wonderfully relaxing and serene home in the tiny town of Bolinas, CA. It worked well for 6 of us. The owners offered their well-stocked kitchen items for our use so long as we replaced them. The house is well-furnished with quality items. The only negative is that we learned there was no internet nor TV three days before our arrival. However, we hope to go back.”
