"We had a great time when we stayed at Ted's place. It was central to the events at Berkeley. Ted helpful and was available to assist us when we got there with some details."

"This is a fantastic little comfortable house close to the beach. The best part is the private wind-protected backyard for relaxing, eating, and hot tubbing. The beds are super comfortable. The only downside was that many of the pots/pans required washing before use."

"The universe smiled down on me by allowing me to find this hidden gem. This space is amazing. The amount of beauty and love that has been brought to this space by John and Arthur is simply amazing beyond words. I will travel back again just so I can stay in this beautiful Hidden Zen Gem. I am grateful beyond words."

"This place is delightful. It is right on the beach and you can wake up to the sound of the pacific. The owner, Angela, is lovely and welcoming."

"My husband and I came up to attend a concert in NAPA on Sunday night. We arrived Saturday and had a lovely bike ride into Sonoma and dinner at Mary’s Pizza shack. We still live in Sonoma county many many years ago. This is a lovely little place to stay and get reacquainted with our history."

"JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM DOWNTOWN PETALUMA, THIS IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO STAY."

"We had a wonderful stay, easy check-in, great location, with an easy 20-minute walk to Sonoma Square. Also a great home base for winery tastings. Good communication with host to ensure we were comfortably set up."

"This is a wonderful cottage in an ideal location. The cottage is located behind Patty's house on a quiet street that's three blocks from the inviting College Avenue array of varied restaurants (Italian, American, Mediterranean, ice cream, Peet's). A 20-minute walk to the UC campus. The cottage itself has a large, comfortable bed in main bedroom. a second bedroom with a pull-out couch that we used as an office during a six-day stay, an up-to-date and well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, spacious...

"Very cute little beach house. Easy in/out, close to the beach. Only negative would be lack of an oven to cook. Otherwise, place was clean, really enjoyed it. Would stay again, for sure."

"Jim was a great host! His property is stunning, and the cottage is quintessential rustic wine country. Close to downtown Sonoma, and with easy access to Hwy 121 so as to visit Napa, Petaluma, and the San Francisco Bay Area, it is the perfect location for that special getaway. I highly recommend this vrbo. Thanks Jim and Diana, Leslie"

"We loved the cottage. It was beautifully furnished, comfortable and in a spectacular location. It’s the perfect place for a getaway. We hope to come back every year."

"A great serene property, super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Close to the plaza, we even walked there one day. Will definitely come back!"

"The unit was lovely, clean, cozy and peaceful. Amazing deck and hot tub, with views / sunsets across the bay. And, I think we were very fortunate since the houses/units on both sides of us were unoccupied, which made the space and setting that much more relaxing and felt like all our own for a weekend. Easy parking right in front. One very minor downside for us is that you cannot walk anywhere from here - it's a very narrow stretch of the road with little/no walking space - so we had to drive...

"We are locals and this was the perfect getaway to our favorite beach in the area. Easily walkable to restaurants, the beach, and one of our top hikes (Matt Davis). Perfect for a family of 4. It's part of a hub of cottages and I would love to look into booking out a block of them with families/friends. Property interior is super cute and newly renovated. Can't wait to return!"

"This was a great place to stay. Close to the main square in Sonoma and a short drive to Napa. A beautiful cottage and will stay again."

"A beautiful location, the pictures shown just can not do justice. My wife and I would gladly return and enjoy this secluded feeling cottage. Could not be happier with the stay."

"Location, location, location. We love being so close to the beach. Your cottage is adorable and we loved it again. As far as feedback, we have some. The backyard was a bit run down this time. The fence was broken I imagine from the rain storms . It also looks as though the gardener left piles which were needed to be recycled into the green bin. Last time the back yard was pristine. The bed was also a bit soft this time. Everything breaks down eventually. Just feedback for you. On the whole,...

"The unit itself was very nice, well appointed and in a great location. It had everything we needed to cook and bake. The fresh loaf of local bread was a really nice surprise. At the time of our stay (May 2024) the staircase down to the unit was under construction. The only way down to the unit was a dangerous trail with wobbly steps. This was a challenging climb in and out, but with luggage, it was a nightmare."

"The property is just beautiful and has all the amenities you can dream of. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit this house again"

"A beautiful location, the pictures shown just can not do justice. My wife and I would gladly return and enjoy this secluded feeling cottage. Could not be happier with the stay."
