    Adrienne S.

    I came here with my family on the weekend of August 12th, 2016. We stayed at The Condor House and our experience was subpar.. For a total of around $650 for two nights (pretty overpriced in my opinion considering the quality of the home), we got a house that was decent but with a number of problems. I don't know how cleaning works but it seems to me they only do the bare minimum. Some problems: 1. We found a number of cobwebs as well as spiders left over on the walls of our room with a spider in the corner that was VERY easily noticeable had they made an effort to do a routine cleaning. (Picture attached) 2. The light above the shower was not working so it was hard to take a shower at night as well as kinda creepy for the younger kids. (Picture attached) 3. The tv box in the downstairs room was not working. We checked everything to make sure it was plugged in but when we pressed the power button. It just didn't turn on. (Picture attached) 4. Lastly, there were remains of a dead spider on a pillow in the living room which could have been easily spotted had housekeeping been more thorough with their cleaning. When the office was notified of these things, they didn't really care. They said they'd let the homeowners know. I think at this point with that many problems in hand with their home, an apology would have been nice or maybe even a discount. For cleaning, they made us take all the linens and used towels and put it on their bathroom floor and take out the garbage.. I understand that this makes it easier for housekeeping but if we are paying over $600 for or stay here, I'd assume it wouldn't kill housekeeping to go and take the linens off the bed themselves. That really shouldn't be the job of any guests who are paying money to stay at any of your vacation homes. I will say, however, that the people at the "office" (it's really a home out of nowhere which require a bit of a drive to get there from the actual vacation homes) were nice and whenever I called about information, they sounded happy to help prior to our stay. But I don't think we will be working with this company again due to what appears to be lack of cleaning care for their homes and their many weird policies.. It doesn't seem like this is a company they're passionate about.

    We stayed on the Oyster Catcher Sunday to Wednesday. We were so excited because the house was beautiful!! And then the issues started. One of the main reasons we rented this house was due to the spa. My dad had injured his back and was so excited to spend time in the spa. Well trying to get the spa situated is says 104 is the temp and was more like 80 maybe. We tried to get it warmed up for hours and nothing worked so we called the rental place and they were going to send someone out to look at it. The next best thing was the bath tub with jets. I have a bad back and was so excited to go in the tub since the spa wasn't working. I go to start filling the tub only to find out that the stopper was broken... They said they would send someone out to fix that as well. Both within the hour, Casey showed up fast to fix the tub but the other guy took hours. Casey was great super nice but unfortunately didn't fix the tub. He said he had fixed it with rubber bands and I went to use it and it was exactly the same. I even tried putting a rock on the stopper I was that desperate to use the tub and water still was draining out. When the spa guy finally showed up he said the spa is old and takes forever to heat up. Which they should have replaced then or not advertised it. He drained some of the water and serviced it and told us hopefully it would be hotter the next day. So in the morning it was a tad bit warmer and my dad was able to go in it one time. One time those 4 days. And then the rain started after that with the crazy winds. That night we were planning to bbq only to find out the bbq was broken... The view was amazing and we were excited to see it but the blinds were broken in one of the rooms downstairs and you couldn't lift them to enjoy the view. The house took forever to cool down we had to call them about that as well because my room was so hot and it was too much for my 5 month old. They said they had some fancy system but it took forever and opening windows to even make it livable. We decided to make some drinks in the blender only to have the liquid spill out all over the counter. The blender was broken as well. Tried the food processor and it still came out the top of it. I'm sorry but don't you check the appliances after each stay? The fire alarm went off twice once due to steam in the bathroom? Woke up my daughter it was so loud. When my mother spoke to Jessica she gave her an attitude and didn't care to make things right. She said she would call the homeowners and call my mother back and never bothered to give us a call both days! I could understand maybe one of two things going wrong but this many things?? Then we had the unfortunate experience of the power going out for 12 hours! There was a list saying there was flashlights in all the drawers in the rooms and the garage etc. We found 2 and one didn't work. There was one candle and one lantern thing for that huge house. Thankfully Casey brought by candles and flashlights but they should have been there to begin with. The storm was very intense and it seemed that the roof was leaking in the kitchen. Such a disappointing experience and this was our first time trying this rental company and possibly the last unless they can rectify this situation. And Jessica needs to learn how to deal with paying customers better. We would love to stay in that house again if they can fix it! We had also asked about a trail to the beach and Jessica said it was near the club house which was rather far. But there was a trail right by our house. You would think they would know where the trails and such were near the houses.

    Staff - friendly and accommodating. DVDs and books for loan; and they let us borrow their printer =D CONDOR rental - Cozy cottage; comfortable beds; induced laziness ;) Some of the fixtures, such as bathroom showers and dishwasher, need to be updated. Tankless water heater and water softener should be next investment. Otherwise, nice open floor plan with windows that welcome beautiful (but partial) sunrise and sunsets. We will be back. Cozy gem close to beach (walk is 10 min., dog friendly and lots of local markets with local cheese. Caution - very expensive, so pack food in a cooler before you come. Think of it as glam-camping.)

We originally found Bodega Bay Best…read moreVaction Rentals by looking at houses on VRBO.com and chose a house that according to their description was minutes from the beach. Once my mother had already confirmed the house by sending in the money and we got the address we saw that it would be quite a walk to the beach and we would have to cross Highway 1 with two small children. She called BBBVR directly and asked just how many minutes the walk would be and was told about 15-20 minutes. My mother asked if they had any houses in our price and size range that were closer. She sent over three options and the first one we chose she wrote back and said that the owners were choosing to stay there and we would have to pick another. Strike two. Finally we settled on Ocean Song, which was only three houses away from Highway 1 with the beach just on the other side. None of the options we were offered were without crossing that very busy road. The house, Ocean Song, was listed as kid and dog friendly. While the house was lovely, with a gorgeous view and the right size for what we needed, I would say that it was more dog than kid friendly. The kitchen was quite small, so they had all of the dishware on a rack on the floor next to the dining bar. This was very tempting for my 22 month old to want to play with. Also they had the supplies for starting a fire in the fireplace, including matches and a metal poker in a basket on the floor. They have two showers and no bathtub, although one shower had a handheld shower head, so we made do to get our kids clean. The house itself is an updated 1970's house with lots of picture windows for viewing the crashing waves below. The bathrooms and kitchen have newer countertops and appliances. The house is eclectically decorated and has all the modern conviences (cable TV, cordless phones and wireless internet). The porch is very pretty, has lots of seating and even has a small firepit. The garage, which is strangely accessed through the master bedroom closet, has a gas grill and a full sized washer and dryer. This would be the perfect house for a family with older or no children who wish to travel with their dog. One thing that slightly grossed us out was that it smelled of dog immediately upon entering and there were obvious spots on the carpet near the front door. We aren't really dog people, so we would probably prefer someplace a little less pet friendly. One note about accessing Portuguese Beach from the house. There is a path directly across from the street the house is on, but it is very steep. If you walk a little down Highway 1 to your left you will come to a path with wooden stairs set into the hillside, which is much easier and safer. However, be careful when you are walking back to the house. Walk to the actual street and don't take any side trails. As we found out one of the trails leads directly into the backyard of the house just across from Ocean Song, but when you try to cross the field you will find a steep gully filled with poison ivy and unless you go back through the neighbor's yard it is a one mile plus walk around the gully back to the house. What should have taken us five minutes ended up taking an hour simply because we were eager to get off the side of Highway 1 and the cars that speed along that expanse. None of the options were fun with small impulsive children. On our second day we just decided to drive to Doran Beach since the waves are smaller and safer for young children anyway.

She really knows the market and executed on her well-thought-out strategy to close the deal. Rural and coastal properties are tricky to sell. So we needed someone with experience. Thera and her team are knowledgeable of the entire process - from marketing our home, bringing in potential buyers, proactively managing any possible pitfalls, and guiding us through the escrow process. All of our calls and emails were answered promptly, which doesn't happen with all realtors. She made us feel we were her only priority, which I know isn't true:) She has so many beautiful listings on her website. After all her years in real estate, Thera is at the top of her game and we were truly lucky to find her. She covers the entire Sonoma Coast besides Bodega Bay: Jenner to Timber Cove to Sea Ranch. It was such a positive experience that I wanted to write this review. We highly recommend her if you are selling or buying on the Sonoma Coast.

She helped us find the home of our dreams, walked us through the process of making an offer and completing all the inspections. With Thera's help we were able to complete our purchase in less than a month! We have nothing but good words for Thera. She made purchasing our home, which is now a somewhat complicated process, very easy and stress free. We highly recommend Thera if you are in the market to buy or sell a home in the Bodega Bay Area. Her professionalism, knowledge of the area, and connections with various tradespeople really impressed us.

    When we first used with this company back in 2014 hubby rented the Tramonto property when we first…read moregot together. It was a cute little studio unit that sat right on the edge of the bay. The interior is modernized design, it is an open concept that has a queen size bed also a pull out sofa bed in the living area, TV Blu-ray player, a small kitchen, private deck overlooking the bay, bathroom showers, and a shared yard with propane barbecue. is a quaint little spot for two people, and I love that they are dog friendly here they have stuff for dogs to use just in case you forgot your stuff. They have utensils, cups plates, spices, and some teas in their cupboards. In 2017 we use the same company to rent a house property on Gull Dr. That home was a very spacious home. We had our kids with us so it was nice to share it with other people plenty of space, open concept and they also had. It was a four bedroom house and it also had a washer and there were two spaces for parking and they also had a gaming area in the garage. For our 10 year wedding anniversary hubby decided to come back to the place we met and fell in love. But this time around he rented Albatramonto property that's up stairs from the original Tramonto property that we stayed at 11 years ago. This one it was almost identical to the original location we stayed at, but this one had a breakfast nook and two split patios. One patio facing the ocean and the other patio facing the tides wharf. The company was really wonderful. They made us a little heart towel and gave us a bottle of sparkling rose for our anniversary. Just be wary of ants, especially during the winter season just don't keep food out in the open or unsealed. If your ant problem gets really bad, then call the company up and they'll come out and spray. The only complaint we really had was the heater they had didn't warm the place enough and it was really cold. luckily, they had layers of blankets on the bed to keep us warm. The sunset are still amazing to watch from the patio. Parking is a little tight for this property. Brianna was the person we had dealt with, and she had simply been nothing but helpful with the bookings. The nice part about this company is everything is done online via email and to check into your property. You never have to go to the office. You can just show up at the actual vacation home and the key is in the lock box. every time you call them, there's always someone there to pick up the phone and answer any questions that you have. we will definitely be back here again in the near future you can never go wrong with any of the properties. The view is just superb for sunsets.
