This place is absolutely amazing! Beautifully decorated, super comfortable beds, thoughtful extras (heated chair, telescope, books on local history and wildlife, board games...), hot tub, stocked kitchen.....and the view! WOW! The balcony hangs high above Navarro beach with unbelievable ocean views! I had a question upon arrival and Margie's response was immediate! Loved the tips and recommendations she sent beforehand, as well. Our only regret was only staying for one night! I hope to return for longer stay one day!

PARADISE! This was our third visit and Baleen just gets more incredible each time! This place and its host deserve every superlative. Words fail to describe the effect of sitting on the heated loveseat (!) out on the deck looking out at the sunset over jaw dropping views with a glass of wine. But I'll try nonetheless: It's the most beautiful, calming, spotlessly clean, luxurious, pampering and exquisite place and Margie is the most thoughtful, responsive and detail oriented host we've ever encountered. It's obvious she spends a lot of time (and money) making sure Baleen is so well designed, furnished and maintained. It's at once the perfect vacation getaway and also the perfect home you'll never want to leave. My wife and I have traveled extensively and stayed in many places across the globe over the years and Baleen remains our #1 all time incomparable favorite. We'll keep coming back as long as Margie will let us. The house itself is GORGEOUS, with beautiful artwork and furniture, super comfortable beds, a romantic fireplace and every pampering and modern amenity and detail you could imagine - from the fully equipped kitchen through the heated floors and lush towels in the bathrooms (we ordered those for our home we liked them so much), to the hot tub with the best views in America and down to things like fast WiFi, smart TVs and super helpful explanations and recommend

Everything was perfect from the start. The manicured driveway and front yard leading to the back deck with the best view. The house was tastefully decorated and every need was thought of. Very clean and comfortable. The hot tub was heavenly and the heated stone seat was an unexpected treat.Margie the owner was super and felt like an old friend. We were celebrating our 42nd anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better place. We will be back.

Baleen was perfect. The house was nicer than the pictures implied. The view was ridiculously fantastic, 180 degrees of Pacific coastline and waters. House was extremely well equipped and prepared. Margie (host) was very responsive. Only comment would be that the notes for local attractions, restaurants, etc. should be updated. As an example, much is made of Queenies as a breakfast option in the notes. It appears as if Queenies closed down 2 years ago! Baleen is a place we may very well return to.

Mesmerized by the ocean view. Lucky to see sun, sunsets & full moon all out on the horizon of the ocean. Enjoyed exploring the area -

Better than our first! I didn’t think it could get any better but it did! Since we knew the lay of the land, we stopped for supplies and wine along the way from Santa Rosa. It’s true, once you arrive, you don’t want to leave. Everything you could want or need is here for you to enjoy. Close the gate and leave the world behind. We’ve already planned our stay for next year. Yes, it’s that good! Thank you once again Margie, it’s a slice of heaven ❤️

Already booked for next year!

This was our 7th time staying at Baleen. It truely is a magical home with a fantastic location. Margie has always been so gracious. We are looking forward to visit number 8.
