Relaxing weekend

We spent Easter weekend at this property. Check in was flawless, communication to great, and Tanya is very responsive if you have a question, even months before arriving. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this one by far was very well stocked with seasoning, cooking utensils and even cleaning products to clean up after yourselves. Extra Clorox wipes, trashes bags and even washer and dryer were available. The beds were comfortable and temperature was perfect in the house. They provided plenty of wood for the fireplace too. The location was great, next to the grocery store, trinket store and not too far from point arena. Being pet friendly was even better. Our dog love the place as well and there was enough room to him to roam and hang out on the deck without worry of him running off. Over all we thoroughly enjoyed the home, it felt as if it really was a home and not just a vacation rental. We would love to arrive again sometime in the future.

Wonderful Family Stay Over Christmas

Our family stayed at Windswept during Christmas week, and it was absolutely perfect for our gathering. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own privacy, yet the common areas were cozy enough for us to come together. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and the view from the home was breathtaking. I could easily spend hours sitting on the window seat, enjoying the view. Our host Tanya was super helpful too. I was having issues with the VRBO app showing my reservation but she was very communicative and reassured me she saw it on her end. We will love to return!

The house is really awesome. We liked staying at an older established house. The owner is doing a really great job of upgrading. The view is not even comparable, it’s amazing right on the coast

Spectacular Ocean Views!

This unique home had spectacular views of the ocean. There was plenty of room for our entire group to spend time together, or spread out. The property management was very responsive when we were having issues with the internet and homework deadlines. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic time

My sister and brother in law came to visit from Illinois and we spent four fabulous days at the house. The views are absolutely stunning. We were planning to eat out but the kitchen was so well equipped and easy to use (with great views) that we made most of our meals in house. I highly recommend shopping at Surf Market. There are a few maintenance things that the owner is aware of and is addressing - but nothing that would cause us not to return. Fell asleep each night to the sound of crashing waves - life doesn’t get much better. Communication with the owner was excellent. I highly recommend staying g here.

Delightful stay with spectacular view

Our first impression after driving down the steep driveway and entering this lovely home was an incredibly Spacious home and what Spectacular Views! It felt like we were right on a cliff overlooking an endless ocean! While it was clear there were several areas of deferred maintenance, we were able to communicate with the manager, Tanya, on several occasions. She was always very helpful and responsive. That being said, the house was very clean and a value for the size of the home itself. Our family had a delightful visit and truly enjoyed ourselves at this unique property.

Spectacular Ocean View!

The view has to be seen to be believed. The house accommodated five adults and three children comfortably. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Big screen TVs in almost every room. A big room where we could all gather, but lots of places to find privacy. The hot tub is a bonus! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful home with beautiful views, but could use some TLC

We booked this trip for a much needed family vacation and it was a wonderful home, with beautiful views. However, the house was in need of some TLC, as several windows and/or screens and doors were broken. In addition to window shades not working, and the hot tub was pretty dirty when we got there. Lastly the host was not responsive to my questions posted via the VRBO app about a week prior to our check in. Therefore, we had purchased unnecessary items ahead of time to be prepared, and only to find out that they were not needed to begin with, which was unfortunate (i.e. charcoal for grilling when the grill was in fact propane, which was never clarified upon my inquiry, and CO monitors as well which VRBO had suggested bringing separately as it was unclear if the house had them or not and we didn’t want to risk it). Other than that, it was a beautiful location and wonderful view of the ocean. Overall, I would recommend it.

Our family had a wonderful time at Windswept! The views are amazing! We saw whales, seals, birds soaring right past the windows with fish in their talons. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to gather in the living room area in the evening. Epic vacation!

Long weekend, Anniversary Celebration

What a spot. So very comfortable and relaxing. Total of 8 guests. House was situated right on the waterfront, elevated on the cliffs edge with spectacular sun sets. House had everything we wanted and more. Only suggestions are that the broken blinds get fixed asap and more towels are provided. Thank you for the memories...we'll be back.

Breath taking views!

We had 10 people in our group, 6 adults, 2 teenagers, a 1 and 3 year old. We ALL had a wonderful time at Windswept! Plenty of space for quiet time and gathering for movies or meals. Views from each room was a treat. Hot tub was a big hit too! Close to our favorite beaches North & South of town. Gualala is a family favorite so we were thrilled to find this retreat. Beats camping! 💓 The only negative was the ants. They had spray for them but those stinkers are resilient! Traps were working great but the Spice cupboard was an issue. Nothing got in our food but we kept everything tidy. The master bathroom was the bigger issue until we found where they were coming from. Not much anyone can do! Still beats camping...😂

Girls trip

Lovely property, beautiful weather. amazing weekend. Property definitely lives up to its name, windswept. We had a very nice time. Plenty of room and has literally everything you could need. My only complaint would be the windows facing the ocean could use a good wash to enhance the already gorgeous view. Quite a bit of bird poop on the outside. But I know it’s the coast and it comes with. But overall 5 stars. Would return and recommend.

Impeccable Views

Hands down the highlight of this home is the unobstructed ocean views from the living room and bedrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay while in town for a wedding. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking and there were many rooms to hang out in. The jacuzzi was relaxing at the end of the day. I would caution folks with sedan cars that the driveway is extremely steep so take it slow to avoid scraping.
