Bodega Bay & Beyond Vacation Home Rentals 575 California 1, Bodega Bay, CA 94923

"3 days ago Extremely Disappointed, Arrived at the Kona Cove house for a 7 day stay. The house was completely ant invested, ants in every corner of the house. The fireplaces were not working, the internet was not working, the hot water to the showers was intermittent, the hot tub needed to trip the electrical circuit to work and there were valentine ballons floating in the vaulted ceiling. We arrived a few days after Valentine's Day. Called Chris at Bodega Bay and beyond, absolutely worthless, comes to the house, tells us all of the houses on the golf course have ants, we understand, get a pest service, they don't have one. Trips the circuit for the hot tub, we tell him about the hot water situation, he turns on the hot water, yes there is hot water, no adjusting and it turns ice cold, something is wrong. My daughter in law had to call a pest control company to treat for ants. Chris approved the bill, so they must know they have a problem, Chris was not going to make the effort to call a pest company. We have been renting homes from Bodega Bay and Beyond for 12 years. Never, Ever, Ever again. The Boel Family"

"Horrible business practices. My wife and I booked a 4 day getaway for Thanksgiving 2023. Unfortunately, we got Covid shortly before our arrival date. We tested positive again, and notified the host as soon as we knew. We were too sick to travel, my wife even had to go into the emergency room at the hospital. We had paid nearly $1700 for the 4 night stay. The host refunded $334 right away, as that was the total for taxes and cleaning. Then they returned another $500 stating they were able to rent the place for 2 nights to someone else. So, we received approximately half of our money. They kept $837 of ours, and we got nothing. I guess they are fine with guests showing up with full blown Covid. I could never do that, and put someone in danger. Just imagine if you are someone who is immunocompromised or elderly in bad health and show up to a home that just hours ago had someone very sick with Covid eating, sleeping and spewing Covid all over. Bad business, terribly irresponsible. Just a "head's up" if you're ok with a host with that kind of Covid policy and no regard for their guests well-being."

"This is the second time staying at Paris Plage. We truly enjoy the house and the location to golf course is an easy walk away. The golfing here at Bodega is amazing. Such a beautiful and challenging course to play. The course was in excellent condition. One of my favorite places to play. The house is very nice with the hot tub and the amazing sauna. The stairs to the sauna are through the master shower and are very steep! There are many games, books, cd’s, and a few records to listen to. Beautiful views from the kitchen and living room. The house, including the sauna, is 5 levels. The light switches are very confusing, most are labeled but the layout of the switches is not very cohesive. We let management know about the issues that we had here, but thought that I would put them in this review for others to be aware of. ANTS: We had an ant problem in the kitchen. We set our food on the counter for our stay, and as we went to grab snacks, we found ants all throughout our food. We happened to find some ant stakes in the laundry room closet and put them out, but it didn’t resolve the problem. I recommended that they start pest control for the house. I personally think that any vacation rental should have pest control, people on vacation do not need to deal with pests. FIREPLACE: We had the same issue both times that we stayed here. There is a wire broken on the receiver for the remote control. You have to hold the wire together to control the fireplace. This has been reported both times to management. HOT TUB: As soon as we arrived, we turned up the temperature on the hot tub so it would be ready when needed. We were not told that the heater was broken on the hot tub! The people before us had reported it, but it was not passed on to us. The last day of our stay it was fixed. The hot tub does have a few of the pillows missing, just be careful because the bolts for them are still sticking out. TV: Not a huge deal, but just be aware that there is only one TV in the house. It is in a small room, but nicely done. We just like TV in bed, but there is no bedrooms with TVs. Like I said, not a huge problem. All in all, this is a nice place to stay if you want to stay at Bodega for a little cheaper."

"From start to finish the experience of finding and renting a beach getaway home was superb. The massive selection of homes available makes it impossible to not find something perfect for whatever your needs are .. maybe a little too challenging since all of the homes are so nice! We found a great home, we were able to watch the sunrise and sunset from our porch. Received easy check in and check out instructions and upon arrival the home was spotless and had a wonderful binder full of all sorts of info etc. We walked around the neighborhood and began planning our next stay . Cannot recommend Bodega Bay and Beyond enough!"

"Our sewing group can no longer meet in South Lake Tahoe and we are blessed to have found a place to stay in Bodega Bay.The weather was cool, the place was relaxing and the scenery was beautiful. Kona Kove was on the 14th tee. We walked daily, some walked more than once daily, we went to the beach. The people are very friendly. We've already booked the same house for next year.."
