Property is right on the water, great views of the ocean. VRBO listing says 2 bedrooms which is accurate BUT the 2nd bedroom is up a small spiral staircase….. not pictured anywhere and not easy to climb. It’s a loft with 2 older twin beds. Also property only has 1 parking spot also never mentioned in listing We tried to contact property owner thru VRBO and didn’t get a response from property owner or any follow up from VRBO. Our stay was wonderful but your property listing and response needs improvement

The VIEW is worth it!
This is a split review because the view of this property makes everything worth it. But, there were some downsides to the experience as well. The reason I am still happy I booked this location was the experience of sitting in the hot tub or sitting for hours on the deck looking at the staggering view. That’s what makes everything worth it. I’ve traveled all around the world and it’s easily one of the best views I’ve ever seen. Downsides: Poor communication: There was literally NO communication from the host. I messaged multiple times before the booking with a question and did not hear anything in response. I also never heard anything from them the entire time, once the booking was made. Parts of the home are in disrepair: The overall home is beautiful. There was champagne waiting at arrival and nice touches around the house. However there are many areas around the house that seem like they have been broken for a good amount of time with no plan on fixing them. For example, there is a label that simply says “we know about this” under a break in the glass in the bathroom. For $600+ a night, I would expect they could make a few of the minor repairs the home needs, but non seem like there a priority anytime soon. Otherwise an amazing experience!

Relaxing and beautiful environment on the ocean!
We enjoyed the property and took advantage of the hottub and firepit with a sunset view! Total relaxation. Had a time with the TV and Dish must have been out as it miraculously worked the next day after troubleshooting everything the evening before. You can tell how much upkeep a place on the ocean requires as it is in need of some paint, etc. I strongly recommend VRBO owners to stay in their places to get a better idea of what is needed. Road improvements/exits will be wonderful when finished. Was able to communicate quickly with our contact. Best for couples, upstairs bedroom not good for adults or small children but maybe tweens. Thank you for a lovely stay, I would definitely consider returning to this vrbo if in the area again.

the Good and the Not Good
For the price, this cottage should be far swankier, more up to date, no plastic plants, get rid of the ugly big plastic brown garbage container, spruce up the linens, buy nicer cups, glasses and dishes! The photos (professional photos) show the place to be larger and snappier than in reality: the bedroom especially with creaky bed and Yes a closet but 2 hangers? and the upper loft for sleeping only! However, the Hot Tub on the deck is clean, new and Fantastic! the View is Fantastic, the BBQ is new and Location is wonderful. For that we thank you.

Our time on this property was absolutely incredible. Everything is accurate as listed. We spent the majority of our time on the deck enjoying the views, hot tub and fire pit. We had one issue come up with the ignition on the firepit and the maintenance team arrived promptly the next day and fixed our issue for us. We cannot wait to come back and stay here.

A Few Hiccups
Stayed for just one night, and did not receive the check in code until 90 minutes before check in. This was after 3 emails and a phone call to the host. Being that the CA coast has spotty internet service, we were getting pretty worried. Also, the hot tub was turned down to 90 when we arrived, so it was too cold to use. Had we known this was not going to be set/functioning, we would not have booked Seamist. Also one thing to note, is that heavy bridge construction complete with a giant crane directly across the property starts at 6:00am, so there's no sleeping late.

Amazing views!
We had a great time staying In the Seamist! As soon as you walk in the door, the views are incredible. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching the sunsets. Listening to the waves crash into the rocks over and over is so soothing. We really appreciated the complimentary bottle of bubbly! It was a fun couple of days that we will never forget. Thanks for sharing your home!

Do not book if the hot tub is important to you
The view and proximity to the beach were amazing. Nothing else was great. -The hot tub was not working during our stay. This was a HUGE disappointment, since the only plan for our stay was to relax around the house and enjoy the hot tub. The local contact sent someone to look at it, but he was unable to fix the issue. We were told that it took a while to heat up. We had already tried heating it the day before and at this time, we had been trying for over 4 hours that morning. We were told a hot tub specialist would come take a look, but no one ever came. The water temp. peaked at 94 degrees and then kept decreasing. We finally worked up the nerve to climb in, just to say we did it, but it was too chilly to stay in the water. I have reached out to the Vrbo contact regarding our experience with the hot tub days ago and never received a response. Other thoughts: - Great view, but the windows were filthy. The person who came by to check the hot tub voluntarily washed the windows. I guess he saw how dirty they were. The view was much better after the cleaning. - Bathroom is similar to what you would expect on a small boat. Not an issue as we didn’t spend much time in there, but sharing in case it is important to anyone else. - Spiral stairs going into upstairs loft are TINY. Both adults, one who is a size 0, had to go down them backwards and still felt like we were squeezing our way down them. I ended up sleeping on the couch the final night because I didn’t want to have to go down them in the middle of the night to use the restroom. - Parking is not ideal. We were lucky in that the people staying next door only had one car. If they had used both of their parking spots, I don’t know that we could have gotten our vehicle in and out. - There are rules/notes labeled all over the home. It wasn’t very welcoming. As I stated at the start of my review, the view and proximity to the beach are great. There was also a bottle of sparkling wine at arrival, which was thoughtful and appreciated.

Best Spot on the Sonoma Coast
There are many things to love about this property, but the best thing -- clearly -- is the view, which is spectacular. The whole stretch of the Sonoma coast is incredibly scenic, but this spot in my opinion, is the best. And you can just sit outside ... or inside, or in the hot tub, or in the nice little cabana down at the base of the staircase, or just a few steps further down on the beach itself -- and we thoroughly enjoyed ALL of the above, and watch the waves crash magnificently into all the huge rocks and sea stacks just offshore, creating dramatic splashes and spray. It's like watching fireworks; it's the show that never ends, a water ballet like no other. The cottage is nicely furnished and supplied. There are just a few minor repairs needed and I made suggestions to the property manager; had a nice chat with her over the phone. Maybe the only little negatives for me: the mattress is way too soft for my liking, but I personally just like and need a firm one. Slept okay nevertheless. The other thing just to be aware of is that there is a huge project going on right across the street; they are building a massive bridge across the gully there and they told me that project will take about two years. But honestly it didn't bother us at all; when you're out on the back deck or main room where you spend most of your time during the day, you're barely aware of the noise from the construction. We will definitely stay there again. It was just wonderful.

Amazing!
Simply amazing! The pictures do not do this place justice! As you open the front door you are instantly greeted by the magnificent pacific ocean through the panoramic windows. The place was very clean and we could tell so much care was put into every detail and to make sure we were comfortable. We cooked dinner every night so we could enjoy the amazing sunset. The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks below was so therapeutic & soothing as we sat by the fire pit out on the deck. Our first night we had clear skies and sat in the jacuzzi under the moon light and stars. It was perfect! Communication with the owner was excellent & always prompt. Their local contact was also very helpful and easy to reach. I couldn't figure out how to lock the front door on our way out for a hike and she answered my call right away! Backing out of the driveway onto the highway can be a bit tricky. As long as you are extra vigilant, you should be ok. I'm definitely going to book this place again! I cannot wait to return. Thank you Pierre for being so accommodating and sharing your wonderful home!
