Expansive Grounds; Quiet; Friendly Staff; Continental Breakfast at Your Door Stayed in the least expensive set of rooms towards the back of the property and was so pleased -- large room and bathroom, private patio. Very comfortable, cushy bed. I was concerned about all rooms being pet friendly, but our room and linens were clean and smelled nice. Staff gave a warm welcome and quickly toured the grounds, including a little putting green and path to a pond with chairs set out. Lots of trees and birds. Easy access to Bodega Bay. Staff will provide filtered water. Keurig coffee maker in the room. Continental breakfast delivered to your door.

Eclectic and dog-friendly This is a one-of-kind property with friendly staff and an indelible personality. There is a sense of fun here, with a nifty little pool, spa, putting green and bocce court. We joined the outdoor movie night long enough to enjoy Smores, compliments of the house, and catch a bit of “The Wizard of Oz.” We enjoyed walking to a nearby pond, on the property, an oasis of quietude. A deer grazed quietly nearby. In the main building there is a spiral staircase leading to a cozy niche that would be great for curling up with a good book. Happy surprises, all. We chose the hotel in part because it is dog-friendly and it seemed at least half the guests had their pooches with them. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and included a good-sized patio. The patio, though. was framed by cobwebbery and flecked with birdie debris. (The room itself was clean; it seemed the exterior spaces were generally a lower priority.) We were shown to the room by one of the amiable staff members who said the hotel was once a hunting lodge. Our room included a heraldic stained glass window that might be a vestige of those earlier days. Who knows? So when you think of the Sonoma Coast Villas, don’t think of the friend who is always well-scrubbed and predictable. Think of the friend who is smart, funny, spontaneous and maybe, from time to time, a little unkempt. We were smitten by the place - and the people who work there.

SO MANY SPIDERS!!! There were spider webs all over the room and spiders crawling everywhere in the room. There was a spider even crawling on the head board. There was no air conditioning so the room was a sweat box. Room 3 is a higher priced room bc it’s by the pool but it was terrible. A huge mosquito flew at me in bed. There was also a huge hornet in my room. I was quoted around $323 for the room but had other fees added on that I was not made aware of so my room ended up costing $404. If you like insects all over your room and sweating then this is the perfect place for you.

Quiet n excellent customer service We wanted a close getaway that was clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious. Sonoma Coast Villa checked all of those boxes and then some! I was happily surprised by layout and design of the property and our room. There was plenty of Areas around the property to walk around and discover a little nooks and crannies. There was a swimming pool, garden area, miniature golf, and an outdoor movie area. Our room had a king size bed with built-in headboard with track lights. The bed was super comfortable as well as the pillows and there was ample room on each side of the bed. The beams in the ceiling were lit up with track lights, which was a nice touch. There is a comfortable brown couch in the middle of the living room area sitting directly in front of the fireplace. One which you can add wood to. There was a mini fridge to keep any left overs in and a Keurig Coffee maker. The bathroom has a large vanity mirror and walk in shower ( no shower hose). Staff was friendly and upbeat. They made us feel welcomed and to top it off a continental breakfast basket was left at our door. How thoughtful! We has a wonderful time in peace and quiet, loved everything about our stay. We’ll be back.

Perfect Destination for a last minute birthday trip We arrived early and the room wasn't ready, no biggie as we had not called ahead of time. Went to the beach for lunch and upon returning they remembered us and let us know they gave us a complimentary upgrade due to it being my birthday. It was such a nice surprise! The room was very lovely, it had a giant jacuzzi tub and a stand-in shower, the bed was very comfortable. There was a fireplace in the room but we didn't use it. We were told there was a short walk to a pond which we visited and enjoyed the chairs over looking the pond. They also set up a outdoor movie for the guests, we didn't attend but loved the idea. They delivered a complimentary breakfast right outside our door in a little basket, was a very nice touch. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, amazing service from everyone we encountered. This was a perfect experience and we will be back. I've already told several of my friends about this hidden gem, that's only 5 min away from the beach! Thank you for making my birthday extra special.
