Great location, great space, super clean. We hosted my friend’s low key bachelorette here and it was perfect. Great spaces to hang out as a group and play board games. A lot of folks had never been to California before and this gave them the best taste of how wonderful it can be!

I loved my stay at Whale Watch! The location simply cannot be beat. The view from the living room and front deck is postcard perfect and you really feel the majesty of the Pacific coast from the moment you arrive. It’s a short drive or medium walk to the beach, which was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was incredibly spacious and well designed. Fun amenities like the game room with ping pong and foosball tables added a lot to our stay, as did the hot tub. Two of the beds are pull out sofa beds, so plan accordingly. My friends didn’t mind but it could be tough for folks who want their own room or don’t want to share a bed etc. Overall, I’d say this place is a gem: great location, cozy home, and enough space for a medium group to savor the beauty of Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

Our trip is exactly what we needed! House was very clean! Upstairs is amazing - big open kitchen and family room. Very comfortable couches, beds, etc... We will be back for sure. Notes: Deer lots of deer...after the sun goes down they will be out in the back behind the grill and out front bedded down for the night.! I was surprised at how close they were to the house. We were given 1 towel per person for the whole visit - I wish they had some back up. Also important to note there is NO washer or dryer. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind. We are already looking at when we can go back.

We had a beautiful 3-day stay at Whale Watch. Loved the open and updated kitchen, living and dining space. Good views and house was very clean (appreciated!). Also had ocean view from the primary bedroom (nice!). Unfortunately, we did experience two separate hours-long power outages during our stay. Ended up playing games by lamp light. And no washer/dryer at home, just an FYI. Not listed but we were surprised by this. Property company very responsive and professional.
