Newly updated in impeccable modern style, this home in Bodega Bay is a true surfer's paradise, offering beautiful views of Bodega Harbor from its large picture windows.

Amenities like central heat will keep everyone comfortable. At this bungalow, you'll spend your days surfing, beachcombing, and fishing, and come home to a light-filled living space, a wood-burning stove, and an enclosed garden with a private Sauna where you can relax, light the grill, and talk about the day's adventures.

Bay Views!

Amazing views of the bay from the expansive windows. Nicely updated - very open feeling and fixtures & appliances worked well. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking. Short walk to two small markets and some very good restaurants.

What a view

The cottage is beautiful. Having two bedrooms with en-suite that were so well appointed was wonderful. The kitchen is large and has everything you need. And then there is the view out of huge panorama windows over Bodega Bay. Just stunning.

Loved everything, from the peaceful interior to the private, intimate yard. No kidding, the sounds of the birds will catch you off guard. Highly recommended

Great property, less great property management co. Lovely location and nicely set up space. Unfortunately it took three follow-ups on our end with the property management co to finally swap out the non-working coffee maker for a working one on day three of the trip. Fenced back yard was great for our dog, but beware the skunk that seems to live there! Saw it multiple times in the nights so we were quite wary about letting our dog out in the evenings as dealing with a skunked dog would have been such a terrible thing in a vacation rental!

Perfect veiw and place

You can't beat the view of the bay! Three large windows. Nice bedrooms. No microwave and bring knives, forks etc. Nicely landscaped and fenced yard. Some steps to get into. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Great stay.

Surfer's Paradise was a great rental with comfortable furniture inside and outside. Great TV options were available. The place featured a full range, toaster oven, and coffee maker. But NO MICROWAVE, which was the appliance I would have used. The beds and bedding were fine. Parking is quite tight, but adequate for one small or medium car. The garden was extremely pleasant. The view of the bay was truly outstanding.

Very Nice!

This is not a large house, but it feels very airy and roomy due to large windows overlooking the harbor and lots of light. The kitchen is well equipped with many pots , pans and utensils, as well as spices, oil and coffee. A big plus for me was the central heating which worked very well. Many of the homes that I've stayed at in the area, either had only a wall heater, portable heaters or a fireplace. Noise was not a factor even though the house overlooks highway 1. At bedtime there was zero noise, and it was extremely quiet. Thank you to a previous reviewer who suggested using Taylor street for entry and exit to the property as it was much easier than pulling out onto highway one from Kent on a curve, Had a great time.

Girls Weekend

My cousin and I booked a girls weekend at the Bungalow for a little post-holiday relaxtation and to celebrate another semester of college classes completed. It was beyond wonderful. This house is breath taking, we were both in complete awe when we walked in. The view was stunning, we arrived later in the afternoon for check in, just in time to catch the beauty of the sunset on the Marina. The house presented very clean and welcoming, had all the amenities in the kitchen needed for cooking a variety of meals, super pet friendly, and the layout and functionality couldn't be more perfect. The location is a big plus too, it's very close to a varitey of shops, making shopping or grabbing odds and ends very convenient.We had such a blast, and this home made the experience so special. We both hope to stay here again in the future. Thank you for all the effort you've put into making this such a cozy and inviting space, the memeories we made here will be cherished for a lifetime.

We loved the house and backyard. Very comfortable. When we left, I forgot my bag but, John, the local property manager got it shipped out to me the next day. I am expecting it tomorrow. I can’t stress enough how helpful and considerate he was. Thank you for making our stay on the coast so enjoyable!

Bodega getaway

2nd time at this vrbo and it definitely did not disappoint. Check in easy, quiet walkable neighborhood and easy access to restaurants nearby. Check in has always been easy and the home was just as beautiful as we remembered it. Clean, has all the amenities, beautiful garden area and amazing views of the water. Kitchen is fully stocked and love that the home is dog friendly. Tastefully decorated and has everything needed for a few days of rest and relaxation. The convenience store is just around the corner if you forget anything and there’s plenty of seafood options off the main strip if you want to enjoy the food that bodega has to offer. Local flea market on Saturday and farmers market on Sundays. Will definitely return a third time. Thanks to the owner!

Surfer’s Cottage

We loved our stay in this comfortable, bright and airy cottage. Fantastic view of Bodega Bay from the front windows, and a pretty little garden and patio in the back. Kitchen is well equipped and spacious, beds are comfy. WiFi is good. It felt like home here.

Gorgeous views of Bodega Bay from three large window in living areas. Missed having a microwave. Otherwise, kitchen well-equipped. Parking tight and felt like we were intruding on the dilapidated house in front. A bit of a trek bringing suitcases and supplies in from the back alley and into the backyard to the back of the house. Beds were comfortable and the houses was well-suited for our two children and two small dogs.

Great weekend getaway place

Great little place to stay for a weekend or a week. Great location off the harbor with big windows and scenic views…it’s the harbor, hwy 1 and then the cottage, but traffic noise was almost non existent. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in and the living area was very cozy. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms roomy. Other things, good Wi-Fi, large tv and secluded outdoor seating

Lovely home with a water view, close to everything!

Comfortable, modern home with a private sitting area in back and well equipped kitchen. The only criticism I have is finding it. The house is not visible from the street you enter on and the house number is on the ground on a plaque. If it could be hung on the fence that would help.
