Anchors Away Vacation Rentals

“Beautiful and comfortable house. The pool area was so amazing to relax in and the kayaks were such a fun addition. Would 100% stay here again!”

“We wanted a peaceful and picturesque getaway and got exactly what we wanted. Jenner is a beautiful location and this Airbnb has an incredible view of the bay and a perfect deck for enjoying it. The unit is well-equipped with modern appliances and good wifi (which is important because there's no cell service). The main drawback is that you really can hear EVERYTHING the upstairs unit says and does—there's no sound insulation, so we were woken up in the mornings and sometimes needed ear-plugs to sleep. The bed has a beautiful view and works well in the studio style space, but isn't the most comfortable—it's just a pull-out sofa bed. Overall this was a great spot for getting away from the city and unplugging, about an hour to get to Sonoma wineries and plenty of hikes around.”

“Good place to stay. Nice location.”

“WORST HOST EVER.We found cockroaches on their property small and big. This is the worst host you could possibly ask for. They were very aggressive and inconsiderate . They threatened us . They chose to not compromise with us when we very respectfully asked for another accommodation or discount due to the inconvenience of it being a holiday weekend.When we spoke to Airbnb they were very aggressive and kicked us out. We never asked for anything free simply a discount since they wouldn’t find other options. Cockroach’s were found in kitchen. All they cared about was their money and air bnb also did nothing to assist us . Very disappointed. If you are also of ethnic background I would also NOT RECOMMEND.”

“My family stayed at this rental property for 3 nights and one of the big deciding factors when booking a house, was the pool. The house was great but we had a terrible experience in regards to the pool. We were given access to the house around 3:45pm and were communicated the pool technician would finish up soon after. The pool guy left without cleaning the pool of debris and also left the hose turned on. There was slight interaction with him and a family member and his character was questionable. Definitely not a person who seemed professional. The pool would have overflowed if we had not contacted Anchors Away. We lost an entire day without access to the pool as they sent a technician until a day later. Also, something I did not mention to them, were the shards of glass that were around the perimeter of the pool. If see an option to add the photos on here I will. I mention this here now in hopes they will have this fixed immediately as someone or their pet could get hurt.”

“The Birdie House's main floor living area is very nice. The views out the back are fabulous. However we found the downstairs bedroom to be unusable. The air in the room was musty and mildew smelling, causing health concerns. The downstairs bedroom is a basement. Upon contacting Bodega Bay and Beyond a housekeeper came and activated the dehumidifiers that were present in the room. The odor was not eliminated. We revisited Bodega Bay and Beyond. The gentleman in the office was less than helpful. He offered to send a plumber to deal with musty and mildewy smells. A plumber?? I asked about relocation or compensation. It fell on deaf ears. The situation we were put in was "deal" or leave. We closed off the downstairs. Some of our party slept in the living room. Not what we paid for. We will be seeking compensation. We have booked with this agency before very doubtful we will return. George D. May 10 2026”

“This is a review mainly of the property manager not the property. Property was clean and nice but there is a musty smell which I attribute to the fact that the house has no vents built into subarea which causes a musty smell. The property manager was unprofessional. Did not check the fireplace flue and left no instructions on how to check it, that it must be checked or how to even tell if it was open or not. Lit a log and the whole place filled up with smoke. House smelled badly of smoke entire stay. Fire Dept came. It was not “user error” but lack of instructions. Flue handle apparently was high up and hard to reach. Manager Chris is rude and immature. He has many bad reviews on Yelp and it’s bewildering why any property owner would use him given my experience with him and apparently the same experience of others- evidenced by his overwhelming bad reviews on Yelp. Owners should refund a guest when their entire stay entails being trapped in a smoky house. It’s the right thing to do.”

“The house was generally fine minus two glaring issues we ran into. King bed was atrocious. We provided the managers a chance to investigate and take ownership, but instead they discredited the feedback. Two nights of terrible sleep and high nightly fees don’t pair well with us. Also experienced heavy ant activity in kitchen and common areas. Between these two, the finer elements of the rental weren’t felt. I sure hope they address both for future guests as we were disappointed.”

“PHOTOS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. No water view whatsoever. Ownership doesn’t want to post updated ones in an effort to swindle people into massively overpaying. Hiding a couple nondescript lines on a vague “construction” in the listing made us feel taken advantage of. Over half the photos in the listing are substantially inaccurate. Booked what we thought was a cozy cottage with water views for our anniversary and instead stared at the side of an unfinished house all weekend. Hope they post updated photos and let people make fully informed decisions in the future.”

“Only thing I would suggest to add to listing- is there was not enough cooking pots and pans at all, no measuring cups, spoons..etc. No basic salt, pepper , seasonings…etc. I’ve never stayed somewhere that didn’t have at least the basics. I kept some there and hope you left for next guest. If you’re planning on cooking, this may not be the place for you. Other than that, the place was absolutely well kept and beautiful and can’t be the backyard space!”
