About this property

Casa Blowdega, Vintage Beach Cottage

Step into a beautifully and tastefully remodeled beach cottage with original wooden floors, lovely mid century details, solid Carerra marble bathroom, and redwood deck. Open living space with dual sliders to redwood deck, one full bedroom with one convertible dining room open to kitchen that sleeps additional 2 people, and sleeper bed in living room along with couches for plenty of comfort and entertaining potential. We like to think of ourselves as a authentic historic cabin. If you want total luxury and bling this likely isn’t for you, but if you want an authentic original cottage with 100 year charm and rustic features like original plank flooring, and lots of character we think you’ll like what we have for you. Thanks for looking and let us know if we can answer any questions for you. Hope to hear from you soon.

The interior of the cottage is great. Loved the wood floors and the quaint old qualities of the home and the retro furniture. Unfortunately didn’t have the ocean views but I highly recommend staying here. The host is unbelievable and very accommodating.

The property is located in "Old Bodega" by the elementary school. It was quiet and cozy. Close to everything for dining and sight seeing. Private driveway so no parking issues. The host kept in communication with us the prior to our arrival. He stopped by while we were there and gave us some fresh rockfish he had just caught that day. Pretty awesome! We will stay there again for sure.

Casa Blowdega is such a charming little cottage in a great location. We enjoyed our weekend getaway here. The easy parking and check in process was also a plus! We had a question for the owner when we arrived, he went out of his way to get in touch with us and was so accommodating. An added bonus were the parking passes for use at the state parks/beaches in the area. We will book this cutie again in the future!

This property is everything that the host said it would be. My suggestion is that once you enter the front doors, you go immediately to the outside patio, breathe in that amazing sea air, listen to the faint sounds of the crabbing boats, and absorb the tranquility. The kitchen was well equipped which we found to be a plus as we cooked most of our meals and ate in This made it nice so we could enjoy local wines without deciding who would be the DD. The decor for the cabin was appropriate, bed and extra sleeping areas were comfortable. We would definitely stay again when coming to Bodega Bay Our host was very helpful, and the communication was excellent.

Why they chose this property

A quiet getaway up the hill away from the highway, where you can hear the sea lions bark, the birds sing, and the coyote's howl... We think it has a little bit of everything you want on the North Coast!

What makes this property unique

Peek a boo views, fresh air, privacy, and wonderful access to beaches, hiking, great food, and 5 minute walk to grocery store. Boat trips available, fresh fish, and much more!
