This was such a special spot! Super clean and bright. The bed was really comfortable, loved the nice white crisp linens (appreciated that!) And their paintings were beautiful and the location couldnât be better. 1 block from the grocery store and little resteraunt. The house was also really well stocked. The only negative is that there wasnât really a comfortable place to sit in the house. Just a built in bench in the living room and a few wooden dining chairs. Would have been nice to have a couple comfortable (small) upholstered chairs to read in. Especially as there was an icy soft breeze outside so we couldnât sit on the deck. (Maybe move the day bed and large antique desk into the entry room?) But we really loved it. And.would love to come back if the seating area changes.
Rustic but charming cottage, cannot beat the location, very comfortable. Other than a very noisy group of 6 couples staying at the cottage next door on our last night, we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. Surprisingly good food in Bolinas too!
Accommodations were excellent. The location is convenient to the center of town and the restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to a friend.
Such a cozy little place, perfect for two people. Loved the location, the way it was decorated and the ease of the rental process. The bed was comfortable, there were plenty of towels, there were lots of books and magazines and basic necessities were supplied. We spent three nights and hope to return in the winter for a different experience.
Perfect for a solitary, peaceful, weekend on the water. Perfect sunrises from every angle and you can see the stars from your bed. So very peaceful and steps to everything.
This was such a wonderful, charming, cozy little cottage over the lagoon that was perfect for me and my adult daughter. Bolinas is my happy place and this little cottage is a perfect representation of all that's good about Bolinas; quiet, beautiful, humble, authentic and just plain cozy.
Just what the Dr ordered. Relax, unwind and conect with nature. Loved watching the seals, birds and tide come in and out. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven.
easy and convenient: short walk to beach, equally short to 'town'
small size didn't bother us â it felt bigger with smart solutions and stylish interiors; we liked the maritime styling.
enjoyed watching the seals swimming in the lagoon.
thanks!
We had a great time in the cozy bothy, being on the water is great for seeing loads of birds (and seals) and the location is perfect for walking around Bolinas or taking a quick drive out to a trailhead. We're definitely coming back.
If you want to stay on the water, in a modest, shabby chic cabin, with a view of the west side of Mt Tam, the lagoon, and the ocean, steps from the beach and around the corner from the ever amusing town of 'Bo' then this is your place. Tiny and wonderful in every way!
A truly magical spot - situated literally
in (above) the flow of the tides between the lagoon and the open sea. Clean, comfortable accommodations, stunning location, birds and seals galore, only two skips to town. An amazingly remote feel for a place just an hour from SF. Thank you - a great place to turn 60. We'll be back.
What a magnificent surprise our stay at The Bothy was for us. Unique to have the ocean meet the bay at the close of each day and the timing of the full moonâs light glimmer on the water which rose at high tide an easy 6 feet made our time most memorable. Thank you
We so enjoyed our stay at the Bothy in Bolinas. The property is described well in the VRBO listing. It reminded us of a houseboat without the rocking around. Because it is like a houseboat, it is small, and the kitchen and bathroom are tight, but if you are OK with that, it is delightful. You are right ON the lagoon, and able to watch the wildlife up close. There is a great view of the ocean and sky. The place was filled with light and so relaxing. Super comfortable bed too. It is a very short walk to the beach and to the downtown area, so ideally located. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was very responsive and concerned about making our stay as good as it can be. We highly recommend the Bothy.
2nd time here, this time my husbands bday. We loved it even more this time than last ( which was a lot )
Beautiful to watch the tides, the seals playing, the light, wonderful walks on the beach right down the street. The beautiful spacious deck had us spending our last full day just lounging while right in the middle of the wildlife action. Such a sweet place to be. Also super comfy bed and fabulous shower!!
Super cool little beach house right on the lagoon with large windows. Very relaxing just watching the birds, seals and tide going in and out. The house has everything needed. At low tide it is a beautiful walk around the point to Bolinas Beach and it's a quick walk to the quaint, rustic town for some good quality food.
The bothy was cozy, charming, and well stocked with essentials. The binoculars were a nice bonus to view the wildlife and ever changing tide and fog. We didnât want to leave!
