Perfect getaway
We loved our stay at the Grey Whale! The home is so peaceful, up on the hill over the ocean with amazing sunset views. The living room is so open and light, our group of 8 was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and spacious. Everything was clean, easy to use and well maintained. The hot tub was lovely and the ping pong table and billiards in the garage was lots of fun. Communication with the owner was easy and prompt. We'd love to come back.

Scenic, spacious house perfect for family gathering
Our family had a wonderful week-long winter holiday retreat at the Grey Whale house. We had 10 people: a mix of kids, parents, and grandparents. There was ample space for everyone to spread out. The kids especially enjoyed the game room (converted garage) as a large space to play. The kitchen is large and well equipped (some of the kitchen ware is older but functional, no issues). The views are stunning, and while the house feels remote in the quiet neighborhood, it's just minutes (by car) into the charming town of Bodega Bay, and it is easy to drive to other Russian River / Sonoma county activities. There is also a trail to access the beach (note it is a hill), or it is a very short drive to Doran Beach park. Highly recommend as a relaxing location for a family gathering. Would stay there again.

Great family reunion
Grey Whale was a great space for our family reunion of nine adults. We loved having the pool table and the ping pong table. The kitchen was well equipped. The living room coffee table was large enough for us to work on jigsaw puzzles and we had views too! Don was very responsive and had great check-in instructions and house book.

Everything we needed
Beautiful home. Very well stocked kitchen. Lots of room to spread out. Communication with owner was great. Clean. Slightly dated but that didn’t matter to us. The only minor problem was the BBQ was difficult to control, we couldn’t get low setting to work. It would work on high but when we tried to turn it to low it would shut off. Overall it was a great home and we really enjoyed our stay.

Family Getaway to Bodega Bay
This is the 2nd year that we have spent a family getaway over the Labor Day weekend. We enjoy spending the time together and loved engaging in friendly competition in both pool and ping pong provided at this property. We particularly loved the large open kitchen and great room allowing us plenty of space to cook, eat and spend time together. Also a great location allowing for lots of walks to the beach. Communication with the owner was great and I would definitely recommend this house for a large family like ours that had grandparents, parents, teens and a busy 10 month old baby.

My family of 10 and I had a wonderful weeks vacation in this beautifully located rental. Quiet cul de sac, great for the kids riding bikes. Close access to walking trails with beautiful views. Everyone enjoyed playing ping pong and pool! Kayaking is only a few minutes away, which was the highlight of our vacation. Our family would definitely come back to this property.

About the host

Hosted by Don Munger

Host profile image
I grew up in Sonoma County and have always loved our beautiful coastline. My wife and I greatly enjoy spending time in the outdoors, exploring California from the beaches to the mountains. With our three children off to college and an empty nest, we decided to buy a home in Bodega Harbour South. We fell in love with this beautiful property and have had a lot of fun making it a comfortable, homey place to stay. When we retire we look forward to having our children and grandchildren spend time with us at this wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

This property gives you immediate access to all the Bodega Coast has to offer. For golfers, the 13th tee is right outside the backyard. Doran Beach is a short easy walk along a quiet road right out the front door, less than a mile, with easy access. Pinnacle Gulch & Short-tail Gulch trails take you down to the ocean and back on a wonderful 3-mile hike from your front door. This is a perfect gateway to all of Sonoma County, minutes from the surrounding coastal beaches, the Russian River and all of the wine country.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, spacious, and wonderful views make it the perfect place to relax with the whole crew.
