Beautiful comfortable home

We loved this house! Being on the water was perfect for 4th of July and the house is quite large. We cooked and played games and really enjoyed our experience here - I’d rebook this place in heartbeat.

Tranquil and such a cute home! The patio is awesome and where we spent a lot of our time listening to the creek flowing and enjoying the setting! Highly recommend this location.

Tidesong was a fantastic house. The views were incredible. The location at Goat Rock Beach, inside Sonoma Coast State Park is amazing. Every morning we walked down and along the beach, always seeing the harbor seals and seeing a bald eagle two different times. The house was clean. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The gas grill worked really well. The living space was inviting. We were very lucky with the weather. It was clear and sunny every day, including three out of four mornings. The wind came on pretty strongly late two afternoons, but not the others. The house was warm and comfortable the whole time. Vacasa manages the property, and that worked really well. This is absolutely a house we will include as a regular spot for a long weekend get-aways.

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
