Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Inverness and felt comfortable, safe and well-supported at this stay. The house is well-appointed, having everything you really need for an extended weekend stay (we stayed for 5 nights). The house is also quite comfortable and offers great views of the bay. The only (minor) issues were the following: We checked in at night and none of the outside lights were on making it a bit precarious for my partner's parents (ages 76 and 80) to navigate the up and down steps from the driveway to the front door. Additionally, the entry way garden lights never worked, making it a bit difficult every time we departed / arrived after dusk. Additionally, we were never able to figure out how to work the dehumidifier in the downstairs room, which smelled a bit moldy from all the dampness. Instructions on how to work these would be helpful (apologies in advance if they were available and we simply did not see them).

After 45 years of vacationing at Point Reyes National Seashore, lodging mostly in Inverness, we have landed in our current favorite spot for a second stay this year. The themes of this beautiful home are comfort, warmth, spaciousness, and welcoming with endless windows for the lovely bay view through lush grand trees. Almost like a Berkeley transplant in a small village, cared for by family over the years, it feels like a home. Equally suitable for 2 or a family or group, it offers the quiet of a retreat or great spaces for a lively gathering. Provisions lack for nothing, as another theme might be abundance, whether household provisions or entertainment. Music, games, books, smart TV, good lighting, decent beds, soft sheets, spacious main bath, all very clean. With an old fashioned lock box there are no digital glitches involved at check in. Good communication with host. What more could you want? A baby grand piano in the great room overlooking the bay would be a dream come true. Maybe some day. Until then, we'll be content with this hillside dream.

Comfortable. Tidy enough. Great view. Quite a walk to town so not as goods convenient as I need. Road noise was unexpected. Great parking. Overpriced due to road noise.

The house is nothing fancy, but it is incredibly comfortable, clean, and well equipped. Best kitchen supplies we've ever seen in a VRBO rental. Unbelievable view of Tomales Bay from the deck. There were three of us, and a golden retriever, and it was a perfect 5 days. Will probably come back soon, as it's just 1 hr by car from where we live in SF.

This is such a lovely home and property, in the perfect location in Pt. Reyes. Comfortable, stunning view, lovely cute kitchen. Warm wood style, the best of Pt. Reyes. Perched up on the hill above Tomales Bay, looking out at the water. A favorite spot.
We were here for 3 days, meeting Bay Area friends we hadn’t seen in 2 years. Great location for drives to Limantour beach, Hearts Desire Beach,
Nicks for seafood. lovely view for just sitting, having meals and chatting. I’d spend a month if I could.
Check in was easy. They communicated really quickly with me for my pre trip questions. Very easy.
Hope you be back. P.s. The bed in the main bedroom is provable the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on.

Beautiful home with deck overlooking Tomales Bay. Amazing tree in back. Quiet neighborhood. Food store five minutes away. Must see Pt. Reyes Lighthouse, visit abandoned ranch property.

Nice view of the bay and the kitchen is well stocked. But ants were everywhere- kitchen cupboard, living room couch and downstairs bedroom! Internet connection was poor which made getting rained in less than enjoyable

This house is beautiful, rustic, clean and comfortable. It has a beautiful tree outside large windows overlooking Tomales Bay. The house is easy to manage, easy to access and well stocked. You can walk down to a couple of restaurants and the water for a closer view. It's a beautiful location and a peaceful setting.

Our team of three were wanting a weekend of work, self-care, and rest. We were able to have some amazing meals, work and popcorn and a film at night. We went hiking and to the beach daily - We were blessed with rain the whole weekend too. Lovely.

Well-located in Inverness, this is perhaps the best-equipped vacation property we’ve rented. Cozy and rustic but nicely appointed with instructions galore and excellent communication. Dog (1) friendly, with solid TV and wifi. Highly recommended.

exactly as pictured
We stayed for 2 nights and the house was very comfortable and exactly as pictured - except the stained glass window in the living was more beautiful than shown. I wasn't sure how well-equipped the kitchen would be, but they had everything we could want. I didn't even use any of it - but it was there. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels, blankets, first aid kit, supplies in the bathroom.
There is a downstairs bedroom and toilet, but we never used it. We also didn't get to take full-benefit of the living room deck because the weather was cold and windy, and I didn't last for long even tho the chairs and table outside were good.
I would have appreciated a power strip in the bedroom because we had 2 phones, laptop, hearing-aid charger, etc., and I was scrambling for plugs. There were 2 electric blankets plugged-in when we arrived, so I used those outlets. The electrical set-up in the house was an adventure because switches weren't placed where one might expect. for instance, there is a motion sensor light on the front porch, but the switch to actually activate it is on the side of a bookshelf in an adjoining room. There's a ceiling light over a big chair that I never figured out.
It was clear the owners tried to be as welcoming and considerate as possible. We traveled with our dog, the determining factor in renting this place. The house was very clean.

We fully enjoyed our stay. Gorgeous view through a stunning old grandfather tree to the bay. A perfect place to celebrate a big birthday.

My spouse & I stayed 2 nights at this lovely home in Inverness. Both decks have chairs for relaxing & taking in the beautiful Tomales Bay view. The top deck is equipped with table/chairs for outdoor eating. Both bedrooms are comfortable, with the lower bedroom overlooking the bay and hillside. We brought our dogs, & took long walks on the beach. The house is stocked with essentials. Grocery stores are close by. We enjoyed our time there and would easily come again!

We had a great time enjoying the views of Tomales Bay and the charm of this vintage, yet very comfortable, house overlooking the Bay. The house has a well-appointed kitchen so it was easy to cook and enjoy all the great local provisions at home. Looking forward to our next visit. Fantastic communication and instructions from the Property Manager!

Sweet, relaxing getaway
Two couples, one teen and dog... relaxing together in this sweet little cottage with spectacular views of Tomales Bay - it was great.
We could hear the coyotes across the water at night, see a variety of birds visit the oak tree which hugs the upper deck, and enjoy the movement of the water and whole flocks of birds and other animals in the vast bay waters below.
Point Reyes is lovely. Point Reyes Station is a little vacation gem.
Two thumbs up.

This is a wonderful place to relax and recharge. The close proximity to the Seashore allows for memorable day trips. The home is quiet and comfortable. We are looking forward to our next visit.

The ideal location
Clean and comfortable, this home was just what we wanted for our 10th anniversary getaway. Inverness is perfect for day hiking in the Seashore and still close to Pt. Reyes Station for supplies. But we could have spent the whole trip on the deck just enjoying Tomales Bay. We can't wait to return in the spring.
