"Amazing! "

"We had an amazing experience from booking through our entire stay. The host is terrific and communicates right away. The home and the views are breathtaking. Very dog friendly. We slept so good listening to the ocean right below us. We only left the house to go for walks we were so cozy and comfortable, we were there 4 days. We made delicious meals, played games and just sat in such peace and serenity looking out the many windows for hours to the ocean below. We cannot wait to return, this place will nourish your soul."

"We adore Aftermath! We are so grateful to Beth for sharing her family home with us. The hot tub is always hot and relaxing and the waves are always spectacular. We also love how the hummingbirds do fly-bys and the walk to the beach is easy. Our dog Ruby LOVES it here. The best beach house ever! "

"Great couple stay "

"Lovely, quiet place on the river with great sunset, waterfowl and bird watching. Loved all the windows and deck, overhanging the river. Only caveat - not easy to walk anywhere from the home - shoulders along the highway are very narrow."

"If I could give 100 stars I would. The views are absolutely spectacular, the location is perfect for quiet beaches, easy to difficult hikes and gourmet to funky restaurants overlooking the Russian River. The cottage has an incredible wrap around porch, outdoor barbeque fire pit area and wonderful indoor ambience that included a fully stocked kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms, beautiful shower with heated toilet seat, high wooden ceilings and fantastic brick fireplace with a big flat screen television above it. But given all of that the best part are the wonderful responsive hosts. They made our stay easy, comfortable and enjoyable. We just finished our third stay and already have booked our fourth in October 2026. If you are considering staying, don't hesitate. Just hit the booked button."

"Nice home, easy walk to beach, great views "

"Back deck/patio could be cleaner. Same with some windows. I would recommend throwing away those rubber pats in the shower. They had a funky smell. Overall. Loved the place "

"Amazing view of the Russian River. So peaceful and quiet at night. Great view of coastal birds. "
