Beachfront vacation rentals in Santa Rosa

We stayed at Mark & Sanet’s place during our home remodel, and it was truly a sanctuary. The views of the bay are simply stunning—waking up to that panorama never got old. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathtub felt like a spa retreat. We cooked many meals on the backyard grill and discovered countless beautiful walks nearby, making the whole stay feel like a peaceful getaway. Mark and Sanet were the quintessential hosts—warm, responsive, and attentive to every detail. We stayed for over three months and genuinely felt at home. It was hard to leave, and we recommend this special place wholeheartedly. A rare gem!

Wonderful time at this home. Host was responsive and helpful. Gorgeous view and meticulously kept, my husband and I commented that this was one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Don’t tell anyone about this hidden gem 😊

This place was fantastic for the four of us to have a peaceful New Years Eve trip away. You are right in a redwood grove, with a lot to do right nearby. The place had a really well stocked kitchen if you want to cook (great flat top grill). The hot tub is fantastic, and the couch/tv area was great for a movie night. If you want to explore Russian river, this is as good as it gets. We walked across the street for nine holes of stunning golf. A 20 minute drive got us to Jenner to explore the dramatic coastline, 15 minute drive to a state park for hiking, and 30 minutes to russian river's brewery. Also there is a coffee shop just across the first hole of the course, which is a rare convenience. If we had 6 guests this would have been really incredible value.

We loved our stay and will book again! The house was well equipped, especially the kitchen. It has amazing views and is walkable to excellent hiking trails and downtown Jenner. Next time, we will rent kayaks and paddle on the Russian River.

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer’s place. It was serene, green and peaceful. It was a cosy log cabin with the feel of yesterday years with its vintage gadgets. We loved it and spend a relaxing weekend there. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a calming peaceful time on the banks of the Russian river. Jennifer is a great host.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I cannot say enough how much my family loved this Airbnb! I’ve had a string of bad luck with Airbnb hosts and I was a bit hesitant to book something like this for the weekend but I am so glad I did. The house is beautiful & truly perfect for a family (especially ours that includes two little ones who don’t sleep through the night yet). The river and surrounding forest are truly serene and I cannot wait to book it again once it’s a bit warmer & the river is ready for me to dip my toes in!!

We loved our stay at Sea Glass. It was very well furnished, and very well appointed. The location is spectacular, right on the bluff, with an amazing ocean and sunset view, and still within a few minutes walk of the beach. It easily fit our six person family group. We had tons of fun just hanging around the house for evening cocktails, wine & cheese, cooking family meals, and then long walks down the beach and back. We used the spa to stay warm while watching the waves coming in. Getting in and getting out was as easy as could be, and all the instructions were clear and easy to read. We would definitely come back here; hopefully we will!

Wow, what a special place. The rainy days couldn’t ruin the trip, even though they tried. Gazing out the huge windows in the living room was peaceful and more entertaining than we could have imagined. Seals resting on the beach between the estuary and ocean, plenty of birds and beautiful spring blooms. The property is exactly as pictured, if not even more impressive in person. Super clean, well equipped, comfortable furniture and the bathrooms were very luxurious. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen; which is well equipped and comfortable for preparing meals. One of the best AirBnBs we have stayed at and plan to return soon (if not annually).

There was no one around during our stay. Had deer in the backyard along with a little fox friend. Very relaxing and much needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing space steps away from the beach! loved the space esp to enjoy it with our beach loving doggos 🐶🐶!! our Dogs approved it!!!

The house was beautiful and a restful place away from the city. I agree with other reviews and it was super clean. My small family thoroughly enjoyed the house and its proximity to hiking trails and Healdsburg downtown.

We rented this home for a family gathering during a cold, rainy weekend in late March. Even though it was off season for recreation on the river, this location proved to be the perfect, warm, cozy place to spend lazy mornings watching the rain fall and to share meals in the evening. The decor feels very old school "cozy cabin on the river" from a warmer, friendlier era, when families would spend whole summers on the Russian River. The views from the windows are peaceful and beautiful and no one minded keeping the wood stove going or hand washing dishes. It was all part of the charm of the house. We appreciated the very specific directions to the house and the advice to arrive well before dark. The narrow, winding roads along the river aren't the easiest to navigate, even for locals! We appreciated the rain holding off for a few hours so we could explore Armstrong Redwoods on a moist, cloudy morning. We were treated to majestic trees, lush moss, and even banana slugs! Thank you!

Staying here was awesome. A quick phone call with Ben, who was great, got us straightened out for the weekend. Very peaceful, clear instructions for how to use things, and the pinball is a blast!

We had a fantastic stay at this charming carriage house with our family of four. The place is set in a beautiful area —location is great for nearby hiking adventures. The interior design is stylish yet cozy, making it feel like a home away from home, and the private dock adds a unique touch to the waterfront vibe. Overall, a great spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature. Highly recommend!

Patricia is a lovely host, very accommodating and responsive! The home is huge and very well equipped. We had a great time and gorgeous weather...of course, weather's beyond anyone's control, but it is especially spectacularly beautiful there in the bright sun under a clear blue sky!

The house is rustic & charming and just what we were looking for. The ocean view is magnificent. The beds were comfy, the sheets were soft and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We had quick responses to all our communications with the owner / property managers which we appreciated! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

It was such a wonderful girls weekend away in Bodega Bay. The place has the most beautiful views and it is a short walk to the beach. Everything in the house was nice and in order and the hot tub was amazing. The views and location are hard to beat! I hope to be back.

This is a fantastic place for a weekend to explore the surroundings. We came with a big family (Grandfather, 2 siblings and their S.Os, and 3 grandkids) and felt right at home. We used this place as a home base to explore the area, hiking around Jenner, wineries, the Russian River, and Bodega Bay itself. Kids loved opening up the back porch and just walking to the beach over the dunes (adults loved it as well). Hosts were responsive and polite throughout - easy and clear check in. And Jacuzzi to relax in after the hikes :). Kitchen is great - fully stocked with everything we needed (we bought fresh fish from the local fish market and cooked at home every night). Highly recommend for a family looking to get away and relax and spend a few days at a slower pace.

Really relaxing stay. Perfect location and great place!

The place is comfortable, cozy, clean, and has beautiful views of the ocean. Robert was very responsive and allowed us to book on 24 hours notice after another rental cancelled on us at the last minute, which we appreciated.

We had an amazing stay. The view was absolutely amazing! Nice restaurants nearby.

I needed a quiet place to work for a week, and Jeff’s place was perfect— peaceful, cozy, and pristinely organized. I cooked most meals and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed. The view is magical— right on the sand overlooking the ocean. It’s hard to leave when you get used to falling asleep to waves crashing! Will definitely be back.

The guest house was a perfect one night getaway. Close to the water & downtown. We walked to have dinner & stopped on the way back to enjoy the sunset.

Our family of three had the most incredible stay at this oceanfront home! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the beautiful views and peaceful atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been more perfect – just steps from the beach, allowing us to enjoy early morning walks and sunsets right outside our door. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The open layout was perfect for spending quality time together, and there was plenty of space for each of us to have a little privacy when needed.
