A slice of paradise ♥️

This house is so peaceful and serene! The views are so amazing! Nice grassy area where the deer and bunnies came to visit every morning is so heartfelt. What a great way to decompress from all the hustle and bustle of life. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Eternally grateful, Gladys

Pre-Thanksgiving visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Abalone alcove was very relaxing. Although it was really storming outside, we had all the comforts we needed to enjoy the view, the storm and relax all at the same time. Abalone Alcove is a cozy vacation rental with an absolutely lovely view ofDillon’s Beach. And the pool table created very entertaining matches. Mom won - lol!

Amazing escape!

We came up for a birthday weekend in the fall. The house is so cozy and comfortable. The views are to die for. We kayaked in Bodega Bay and used the concierge service to hire a paella chef who came to the house. The hot tub is fantastic and much needed. The teens took the downstairs level with their own bathroom, bedrooms, living room and pool table. We drove to do our beach walk but you could walk it if you are okay with hills. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Perfect family vacation house.

We had a wonderful stay at the Abalone Alcove house. Our teenage boys got plenty of practice on the pool table and could almost beat us by the end of our week. The design of the house was perfect so our kids could really be on the lower level and we could our own little getaway upstairs. It was just what we needed and more than we hoped for.

The views did it.

We went during the Winter and it was cold for us. It took us a minute to get the heaters figured out but they worked well once we did. The upstairs bed is very firm and downstairs bed medium in case that is important to anyone. I have a hard time on firm mattresses so ended up on the couch. They’re steep streets if you’re planning on walking around or to the beach but thankfully there is a parking pass included to park near an access trail. Tons of deer traveling through which was nice to see so you’ll need to be mindful of ticks on your pup. The views out the dining and living rooms are beautiful and made staying inside worthwhile.

A needed relaxing break!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was perfect for a get away to just relax and breath. I was looking for a place to just unwind and relax from the constant everyday worries and stresses. I wasn’t sure what foods to bring and what I would be able to prepare meals with but this place has it all. Once I arrived I saw I had nothing to worthy about I went out to the chairs in the back with a beverage and watched a beautiful sunset followed by my first of many times in the spa. There is a picture of the few from the living room couch that doesn’t express enough how nice it was to sit on the couch in the morning with my coffee and see that few without any obstructions at all. I recommend this place for anyone who is looking to get away, plenty of enjoyment for a family as well
