Banyan House

This was our second time staying at Banyon House and it was just as great the second time! Very comfy house with a wonderful yard and a magnificent view! Great location, too...right on scenic Highway one and just a few minutes to Bodega Bay, Valley ford, Jenner or Duncan Mills for great restaurants!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely location. The view from our private deck was perfect, and the property was clean and tidy. The only thing that would have made our stay better is if the kitchen had been stocked with a few basic items like coffee, creamer, and sugar. Also there was a bit of a moldy smell at the property and it looked like there may have been some mold on one of the windows in the smaller bedroom.

This sweet cottage looks just like the pictures. Clean and comfy, with nice touches such as the way the towels were folded (like at a hotel), fresh rolls of toilet paper and paper towels still in the wrapper, and cute little bags with soaps and shampoo/conditioner. The TV was a little difficult to figure out, couldn't get local channels, had to use the Firestick to get any programming. If you're not familiar, like me, it was a learning experience. Also had some ants get into a container of baked goods on the counter and had to throw it away, so be aware. Had an issue with the smoke detector going off for no reason a few times the first day, but called the management company and they sent someone out to replace it immediately! Would be nice to have screen doors on the patio sliders so you could leave them open. But these are all minor issues. Overall, very happy with our stay and would rent again. Easy access from Hwy. 1 but very quiet.

Lovely place to get away for quiet and relaxation. I look forward to going again.
Nice management people. They were very accommodating with some last minute complications to our plans.

Beautiful views and sunsets. The home had everything we needed and wanted along with a "feel good" vibe. Very comfortable & homey & relaxing.

Beautiful home! Used it as a home base to tour Sonoma County.

Beautiful long weekend by the coast with the family - location, neighborhood, home, yard all wonderful! Within an hour of arriving my 8 year old asked if we could come back every summer and I said “I hope so!” We were in desperate need of a relaxing getaway and this place was perfect for it.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Banyan House. So much effort has gone into the house and yard to make it feel so comfy. We adventured across the street to picnic at the ocean and search for shells. We can't wait to book for next year!

We loved how well kept this home was. It was w
beautifully decorated, and the landscape and outside space was done so well! We would highly recommend this home.

Enjoyed our stay in this charming home in Carmet. The sweeping views of the ocean are amazing. The deck and courtyard with wood burning fireplace were inviting. Nicely stocked kitchen with very nice appliances (for those who like to cook). We were very comfortable in this home. Pet friendly, although there’s no fenced area so we kept our pup on a leash for outside visits. Not an issue for us and just wanted to mention for those who might want to know. We will rent this home again if we can.

This house is spectacular. Clean, comfortable and the views are great. Very clean, no clutter. The one and only thing that was missing was instructions for the house. Not everyone is familiar with the Nest thermostat and it took us a while to find the Wi-fi password on the router itself. Also no instructions for the tv either. Typically this stuff is in a binder or something.
Other than that, we will be back!

Several members of our family return to this area where we all grew up to memorialize a family member who left is way to soon. We all had different homes. Banyan house exceeded them all in cleanliness, beauty, necessities, peacefulness, and comfort. I will be renting Banyan house, if possible, whenever I return to Bodega Bay.

A very comfortable and well designed home. The outdoor space enlarges the home. An easy walk to the beach.
The photos and description are accurate.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and beautiful...even better than the in the photos! The outdoor area was beautiful and welcoming...the hot tub, outdoor fire place, deck chairs, gas grill and landscaping made it a perfect place to sit and enjoy and wonderful view of the ocean. Excellent spot for bird watching and we could even saw whales from the deck! The inside was also super comfy and all the amenities were provided. A quick walk or drive will take you right to the beach, as well. We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice ocean getaway! Worth every penny!

It was great! We look forward to returning soon!
