SPECTACULAR VACATION HOME OVER Tomales Bay -- Perfect for Family and Friends!
OUR BEACH COTTAGE 'Helen's Hideaway' is a wonderful setting for a family or friends vacation. This is a simple and well-maintained beach cottage, located right on Tomales Bay. Helen's is our family cottage that we enjoy sharing for you.
WE HAVE A NEW DOCK -- rebuilt and ready for fishing or just contemplating the beauty of the bay!
OUR FRONT GARDEN IS SURROUNDED BY A SECURE FENCE -- a lovely and private place to read the morning newspaper or surf the web. A gas grill invites you to barbecue local fish, fresh veggies from Point Reyes or a good local piece of meat.
OUR INTERNET ACCESS IS EXCELLENT AND OUR FLAT SCREEN TV with Sony Entertainment Network, Netflix and connection for your laptop (pc) can connect you to the outer world.
The center of this cottage is a large living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Tomales Bay. You can experience the Bay from anywhere on the first floor. It's a great place to watch wildlife while you have an intimate or family meal, read a novel in front of the fire, or just sit and relax.
The house has a master bedroom downstairs with an adjoining bathroom with shower. Upstairs has 2 bedroom, one with a queen size bed and one with twin beds. There is a bathroom on the second floor, with a tub and overhead shower.
The house is surrounded by a deck and has a dock that reaches out into the bay. It's a perfect place to watch the sunset, sip a glass of wine and just enjoy the bliss of beautiful Tomales Bay.
The house is walking distance to the Tony's Seafood Restaurant, The Marshall Store Restaurant, and Hog Island Oysters. Enjoy day trips to Point Reyes Seashore, the Russian River, local wineries, whale watching, etc. We are very well located to take advantage of all the West Marin has to offer!
If you are not up for driving around, its a great place to sit in front of a roaring fire with friends and loved ones. We have a collection of old DVD and videos and a paperback library. If you like to fish, you can throw a line out from the deck or the pier. Digging clams under the house is another afternoon activity. Charcoal barbecue available to cook your catch! Bring briquettes.
This is not an overly elegant house, but a comfortable, family-friendly home situated in the midst of spectacular beauty. If you are looking for "hotel perfect" this is not the house for you. We welcome you to share our family space and to live in it as though it were your own home.
Check out www.pointreyes.org for great local beaches, hikes, kayaking, horseback riding, dining, art studios and oysters!

About the host
Hosted by Meg Cadiz, property manager or Barbara Dawson, co-owner
This house was owned by our mother who bought it as a family getaway. All of our family has spent weekends and vacations here. We want to share it with you because it a place that means so much to us. We hope you and your loved ones enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This is one of the most pristine locations in the Bay Area. Though it is not far from San Francisco and the East Bay, you very quickly feel you are in 'the country', away from the fast pace of city life. Our mother bought this house as a family getaway and it certainly has been that for our family over these many years.
What makes this property unique
This is house is great for a weekend away with a friend or for a family vacation. Located right on Tomales Bay, you find yourself in one of the most pristine seaside locations in California. It's just a great place to escape the busy-ness of every day life and regroup! We are also walking distance to Hog Island Oyster Bar and the Marshall Store Oyster Bar. To the north you can go to Nick's for dinner. To the south, you find the Marshall Store for oysters, or Tony's (as soon as it is renovated!) then Point Reyes Station restaurants, Olema or Inverness are all close by.
