They order the part but it had not arrived. Upon entering, wow, it does not look the pictures on the website, which to me looked so nice. The place is painted all white except blue cabinets and railing. The table is too large for the dining area. we couldn't walk around and the chairs were too low for the big table. The chairs look like they came out of a classroom. The bar stools are too tall to sit on at the counter. they are within inches of the counter. There are plenty of kitchen tools for cooking. The gas stove only runs on high settings. Burners do not work properly. Window coverings are needed in the game room/ big bedroom. The owners in other reviews say they are up dating but I think they have down graded the place from the previous owners pictures. They should at least put current pictures on Vbro website. We were there to have a great family time and we did. Being so close to the ocean was great. The hot tub was great. The backyard needs help.

I have stayed at the Straus Home Ranch twice now for teacher retreats and I cannot say enough…read morepositive things about it. The home is historic and full of love. The family history here is compelling and part of why we chose to stay here- it is a privilege to be part of the Straus family's world, and to see the land that Mrs. Straus fought to preserve. The home is comfortable and lends itself to so many great memories- we enjoy conversations in every nook and love retreating to our rooms for much needed rest. The views around the property are stunning. One of my stays was rainy and that was equally delicious - this natural invitation to hunker down and read and be present. Michael is a wonderful person and host and has always shown us such kindness and openness. It is great working with him to set up the place prior to our arrival, from extra requests to making a fire pit for s'mores. This place holds a special place in my heart and I would come back more often if I could afford to - it's a great treat. You will love it.

Have you ever worked with a vendor who was so wonderful you instantly wanted to be friends with…read morethem? That's Michael and Vivien Straus. They had our hearts within minutes of meeting them, and we quickly learned that their warmth was matched with deep event planning expertise, lightning fast responses to all manner of inquiries, and a general willingness to do absolutely everything within their power to make our wedding seamless. We can't say enough positive things about Vivien and Michael. We had heard planning a wedding would be stressful, but largely thanks to Vivien and Michael, we honestly never felt stressed. They regularly welcomed us to the ranch ahead of our wedding, helping us build a special bond to the land and to their family. They worked so effectively as a team, helping us find lodging, answering questions on behalf of our other vendors, thoughtfully navigating asks related to honoring recently passed family members, and so much more. During the wedding weekend, Michael bent over backwards to make sure everything ran smoothly, always beaming with a huge smile. His soft serve ice cream was such a big hit! It was always such a relief to see Michael, because we knew he was fixing something we didn't have to worry about, or making something work better, or just thinking 10 steps ahead to make a future moment run smoothly. He is exactly who you want at your wedding!! We had the wedding of our dreams and we can't imagine a better place or better hosts for this special moment in our lives. We plan to visit Straus Home Ranch regularly and will loudly sing the praises of Michael and Vivien everywhere we go, because we're convinced there is no better place on the planet to host a wedding.

It was so easy to check-in and check-out, access the kayaks and hot tub and enjoy all the helpful local recommendations.

Thera, the owner of Sonoma Coast Living Real Estate, was a dream to work with when we decided to…read moresell our home on the Sonoma Coast. She really knows the market and executed on her well-thought-out strategy to close the deal. Rural and coastal properties are tricky to sell. So we needed someone with experience. Thera and her team are knowledgeable of the entire process - from marketing our home, bringing in potential buyers, proactively managing any possible pitfalls, and guiding us through the escrow process. All of our calls and emails were answered promptly, which doesn't happen with all realtors. She made us feel we were her only priority, which I know isn't true:) She has so many beautiful listings on her website. After all her years in real estate, Thera is at the top of her game and we were truly lucky to find her. She covers the entire Sonoma Coast besides Bodega Bay: Jenner to Timber Cove to Sea Ranch. It was such a positive experience that I wanted to write this review. We highly recommend her if you are selling or buying on the Sonoma Coast.

My wife and I met Thera Buttaro at an open house in Bodega Bay last summer. Although we were not…read moreready to buy a home at that time, Thera was very helpful and willingly answered all of our questions about the area, home prices, etc. We remembered Thera this spring when we decided to move forward with buying a Bodega Bay house. She helped us find the home of our dreams, walked us through the process of making an offer and completing all the inspections. With Thera's help we were able to complete our purchase in less than a month! We have nothing but good words for Thera. She made purchasing our home, which is now a somewhat complicated process, very easy and stress free. We highly recommend Thera if you are in the market to buy or sell a home in the Bodega Bay Area. Her professionalism, knowledge of the area, and connections with various tradespeople really impressed us.
