Taylor Made Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Wonderfully situated in the heart of the old village, this inviting cottage brings contemporary comfort to the most classic of Bodega Bay settings. Stroll down to the water's edge to watch the fishing boats come and go, and catch unforgettable sunsets from the wraparound porch overlooking the bay.

This single-story home is located in the waterfront town of Bodega Bay, within a few blocks of several cafes, shops, and fishing charters. Whether your interests lie in beachcombing, fishing, or surfing, you'll have South Salmon Creek Beach, Bodega Dunes Beach, and Doran Beach all within two miles. This is also a great home base for exploring the Sonoma and Marin Coasts, with Jenner (11 miles), the Russian River Valley, and Point Reyes National Seashore (35 miles) close by.

This home is nearly a century old, but it's been thoughtfully updated in recent years to enhance its comfort, ease, and original charm. At the heart of the living space is a brand-new kitchen, offering stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining room table.

Begin each morning with a mug of coffee and a cushioned seat outside on the sheltered patio, and end each evening curled up in the warmth of the gas fireplace in the living room. Set up a board game at the dining room table, use the complimentary WiFi to check tomorrow's tides and surf, and leave the day's swimsuits and clothes in the care of the washer/dryer before turning in for a restful night's sleep.

Sweet home , by a thousand beaches

This house was perfect for our group. We had 1 dog, and the neighborhood was perfect for walking him on a leash. Although there are many state beaches that do not allow dogs, we found Dillon Beach ,Goat Rock , and School Beach dog friendly. the house was clean and cost and both decks were perfect for hanging out outside.

Perfect Getaway

Cute, updated cottage, with a view of the bay from the front porch. The location was excellent as we walked to restaurants, a coffee shop and a grocery store! It was also convenient to walk our dog every morning through the neighborhood! Can’t wait to return!!!

Great place for a family of four

Our family of four plus a dog had a great time at this property. It’s a good size for up to four (dining, beds and seating would be hard for 5), and the location is great. We booked because dogs were allowed, but the back yard is not fully enclosed and dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture - our dog rolled with it, but it was unexpected. One of the showers was really hard to use without getting water on the floor, but the other bathroom was more kid-friendly. Also, the heater did not work, and it got chilly in the evening. The kitchen had all the gear we needed and some basic pantry items, and the shop across the street (Diekmann’s) was incredibly well stocked. This would be a great place for a family of four to stay for a longer trip, the washer/dryer and kitchen make it an easy place to settle in. Also liked that the TV and clocks were available, but not the center of attention - made it easy to switch off and focus on the people. Heads up to vacationers: the restaurants and shops in the area can close early, so get your supplies early and take advantage of the full kitchen. Also, there are limited sidewalks, so plan to drive most places except Diekmann’s and the shops off Bodega Avenue, or other places you can reach by walking through the neighborhood and carefully crossing the 1. We truly enjoyed our stay, and none of the negative bits mentioned were enough to lower the rating - this was a great place for our family.

Nice Beach House

We really enjoyed this home. The home is clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck sipping on wine and enjoying the outdoors. We drove to Doran beach and enjoyed spending time on the beach!

We stayed at the Taylor house for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, with a small grocery store within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable, and the house is beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Nice property. Needs more attention to detail.

We really loved the location and property overall. We know this review might seem like we are nitpicking, but you put faith in advertising and feel this gem isn’t getting the attention to the things that make a vacation rental feel like home. For the price we all pay for vacations one shouldn’t have to be so critical but the issues listed should be addressed.
