Charming Bayfront Cottage with Gorgeous Views - Ideal for Quick Romantic Getaway
Bayside Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Wanting to just get away from it all with the most important person in your life? Look no further than this charming studio cottage tucked away on the Northern California Coast! Stunning views, a charming small town to explore, and the company of your special someone - what could be better?
The 50-stair descent to the entrance is well worth the effort. Located right on Bodega Bay, this cozy home for two offers an unparalleled view of rich blue-green waters - and the opposing shores of the Bodega Dunes - right from the private deck. Breathe in the fresh ocean air whenever you like, or head out front to stretch your legs. The town of Bodega Bay offers all the essentials just a few blocks north down the central highway!
Inside, this home consists of two main areas - a living and sleeping area, and a small kitchenette. The kitchenette lacks a stovetop, but the microwave and coffeemaker let you prepare simple meals and reheat delicious leftovers from the nearby restaurants.
After savoring some food at the table for two, you can admire the sun dipping below the horizon on the deck, before closing the blinds and relaxing on the nearby leather sofa.
Take advantage of the internet and flatscreen cable TV to stay entertained, and when you're ready to turn in, wash up in the bathroom, featuring mosaic tile in the shower and gilded trappings, before drifting off to sleep on the luxurious four-poster queen-size bed for two.
After a hot cup of coffee in the morning, get ready for a rich day of exploring the area. Maybe you'll take in the bay's natural beauty? You can grab a table at an oceanfront restaurant like The Tides Wharf and watch the fishing boats bob in the water as you enjoy your meal, or you can experience the ocean up close at the sandy shores of Doran Regional Park.
If you don't mind hopping in the car, you can expand your possibilities even further. Go whale-watching at the stunningly beautiful Bodega Head across the bay, or head east for a little culture. From golfing at The Links at Bodega Harbor to the wares of the Artisan's Co-op in inland Bodega itself, there's no shortage of places to visit when you want a break from the waves.
Don't deny yourself this vacation for even a moment longer. Place your reservation today!
*Please note that the internet in this area can go down for prolonged periods. We recommend that you do not bring time-sensitive work or school along with you.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 1 vehicle.
This rental is located on floor 1.
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.
