    The house had all the kitchen utensils you could need, it was clean and inviting. It was perfect for our group of 6. Great location and very welcoming host.

    Such a beautiful location and well stocked kitchen for those who love to cook. Host was very communicative and checked in on our safety when storms rolled in. The house has lots of space and beautiful views of the water and hills.

    We loved the place and wished we could stay longer. It had a very comfortable at home feeling. The kitchen was well stocked. Only one small complaint, which is a common problem in many rentals, not enough good larger sized frying/sauté pans. But we managed with what was there, and I highly recommend this place for groups of 4 to 6 adults. And Locke, the owner was friendly, available and helpful.

    If you're looking for a beautiful home with space to relax, and easy access to the coast, this is an ideal spot.Our family always looks forward to staying here, and when we start to get close to Inverness, even our dog gets excited and full of anticipation for our arrival.Locke is a wonderful host, who is available if you have any inquiries. The house has everything you'd need and is comfortable and well appointed. It's a great spot to watch the clouds, take in the view of Tomales Bay, or stargaze at night. Just let your cares slip away!There's great food nearby - restaurants, grab & go, or quality grocery stores. And whether you're looking for a hike, a stroll on the beach, elk or whale watching, or watersports, it's all nearby.We can hardly wait for our next visit!

    This wonderful home is a true favorite for me and my family (including our dog!) As soon as we approach it, we all get excited. Perfectly situated, with a fabulous view of Tomales Bay, near to beaches and hiking, and close to tasty restaurants and well stocked grocery stores. It can't be beat! Locke is an excellent host, and the home is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and well appointed for a rejuvenating getaway. 5 stars every time we visit!

    This is our second birthday visit to this lovely Inverness property. It worked perfectly for us - spacious and warm, with a wonderful view of Tomales Bay. In particular, I loved having a separate bedroom & bath across the deck. And the view was the best from this bed! Speaking of views, it would be great if the landscaping would be trimmed around the deck so people sitting on the deck (& in the house) could see the view of the bay.
