2. The home is professionally cleaned with eco-friendly products.

3. Absolutely no parties or loud/late-night gatherings. We have neighbors nearby on both sides who are noise-sensitive. Please respect the serenity of the neighborhood. If you're looking for a place to cut loose and laugh and play music late into the night, we have other homes nearby that are more appropriate. Please ask us for alternative accommodation and we’d be happy to help find a place!

4. No chores for our guests! That’s what the cleaning fee is for, right? We have a fantastic team of housekeepers, some of whom have worked with us for over 10 years. We fully clean each home top to bottom, fully restocking all amenities, replacing worn-out items, and keeping things fresh and pleasant for our guests. We use top-notch cleaning products without annoying scents or chemicals, and our cleaners are paid living wages because they are the backbone of what we do and you’ll appreciate their attention to detail.

5. Our wifi is excellent, but please keep in mind that cell reception is known to be spotty in this area.

Neighborhood:
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood in Point Reyes Station. The town is very walkable and has many great places to visit, including Bovine Bakery, Tomales Bay Foods, and Station House Cafe.

There is free parking at the property. The town of Point Reyes Station is very walkable, but for all other points of interest, a car or bicycle is best. There are miles of beautiful country roads popular with avid cyclists, as well as 140 miles of hiking trails in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
No outside visitors without prior permission. Please keep outside noise to a minimum after dark out of respect for our neighbors. This home is not for parties/events/celebrations.

Fantastic house with beautiful views

This was our first time to Pt. Reyes and it did not disappoint. The house is in a beautiful setting - the backyard views are gorgeous and there’s a table/chairs and deck chairs so you can fully enjoy it. The house was very clean with a great kitchen and good size bedrooms. Walking distance to town and short drives to many great hikes, towns and beaches. We’ll be back!

Great location in Pt Reyes Station

This is a wonderful house! Easy walk to town, and great spot for adventures in Pt Reyes, creameries, wineries, and more. Very peaceful spot with views over the wetlands preserve. Don’t miss a tasting at the nearby meadery, and the fresh oysters just up the highway.

Weekend Getaway

House was great! Easy walk into the cute town. Unfortunately the power went out for 12 hours but the host communication was great! Maybe add a few working flashlights and candles for such incidents. Also, a few throw blankets would help!

Wonderful Getaway

House is wonderful and listing is very accurate. Location was the best of both worlds---quiet and surrounded by mature but a 10 minute walk to town. Spent a lot of time on the back patio enjoying the wildlife in the wetlands and foggy mornings. Very easy to get to all the great food and attractions in the area.
