About this property

Renovated home w/ breathtaking views of the bay and new hot tub

Newly renovated inside and out - Escape to the coast at this 3 bedroom/2.5 bath home with breathtaking views of Bodega Bay . Take a moment to just watch the fishing boats coming in from the days catch through the channel as you sit out on the deck in the new hot tub. Very short walking distance to many restaurants and shops including Terrapin Creek, Gourmet Au Bay and Ginnochios. Getting ready for your wedding or attending one at the Secret Garden? This home is a short walk down the street to the venue. In the evening, listen to the fog horn by the patio fire on the expansive deck with spectacular views of the bay. Walk from the house over to Spud Point Marina to grab a view of the boats and a bowl of clam chowder. Or stay in to use all of the new appliances and cookware to cook a home cooked meal. Plenty of parking at the house as well.

Whatever you decide to do with days with us, you will feel right at home at The Base to Lorrainbow.

Great house - the kids loved the foosball table and the hot tub. The adults loved the hot tub and the view from the hot tub. Close to many attractions - tide pooling at Shell Beach, rolling down the sand dunes and kayaking at Salmon Creek. The house was comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. House had almost everything we needed - the only thing we needed but could not find were the BBQ utensils.

Thank you Andrea. And I am so sorry. I should have told you the utensils are in case in the laundry room on your way out to the BBQ. Next time 😊

About the host

Hosted by Tracie Tweet

Host profile image
Bodega Bay is my favorite place to be. I grew up spending many days on its beaches and enjoying its clam chowder. It's such an honor to be sharing it with other families and groups of friends who want to escape to its magical sand dunes, soothing fog horns, and refreshing ocean air.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather was a commercial fisherman at Bodega Bay. He and my grandmother built this home in 1992. He named his boat Lorrainbow, after my grandmother. Though he passed in 2008, my grandmother stayed in the home until this year of 2022. I had always wanted to keep it in the family. My husband and I bought the home and renovated the entire exterior this summer with new siding, windows, roof and deck. We also did an extensive amount of renovation on the inside of the home, including new floors, appliances and lighting.

When it was time for my grandfather to come in from the days catch, my grandmother would use the CB radio to call out..."Base to Lorrainbow - it's time to come home".

This is a very special place and I do hope when you come to stay at The Base to Lorrainbow, you too feel as if you have come home.

What makes this property unique

Once you arrive, it will be hard to take your eyes off the view this home offers. Every window has a view, whether it's looking at the ocean or looking at the open sand dunes in the back of the house that are undeveloped and filled with wildlife and native plants.

From here you can walk up the street to Terrapin Creek or Roadhouse Cafe. You can also walk to the Secret Garden, Gourmet Au Bay and Ginocchio's restaurant - all about 5 minutes away. The location of this home makes it the perfect place for a walking adventure no matter which way you decide to go.

The home itself boasts new furniture, flooring, linens, new patio furniture on both decks with gas fire pit, new hot tub, cookware and appliances. There is a ping pong table and foosball table. And every bedroom and living space has a tv. Plenty of space for multiple families to spread out or to gather together.
