This beautifully remodeled coastal cutie is perfect for one or two couples (and comfortably sleeps 5 adults) who want to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing retreat. This spacious 1500 sq ft remodeled home has an open floor plan with unique tree captioned views of the the tip of north end of Bodega Bay (water is most visible from spa patio and bedroom). Bay View's decor is best described as sophisticated beach, with artwork from Sonoma Coast artists throughout the home! The home's layout allows you to visit with guests in the large updated kitchen, living/dining room, bar area, and sun room while enjoying the view of the trees surrounding the bay.

There are 2 beautifully decorated bedrooms, with queen size beds with heated mattresses. There is a spacious main bathroom with soaking tub/shower combo. private access from both bedrooms, a large granite vanity, and heated towel rack! A cozy double bed with a memory foam mattress provides additional space for an extra guest or two, and a great place to relax and enjoy the view or watch streaming movies on the 55 inch flat screen TV.

A second full bathroom, dressing area (for guests sleeping in main living area), and laundry is conveniently located off the main living space. This area also contains a large desk area with a handy electronics charging station and printer.

The 10 foot glass mosaic topped bar opens the spacious kitchen up to the 500 sq foot great room. It provides a fun place to sit and visit with the chef(s) in your group, while you enjoy a glass of Sonoma Coast wine. If you like to cook as a group this is the kitchen for you (large enough and with plenty of counter space for everyone to be cooking at the same time).

Relax in our enclosed sunroom that leads outside to the 450 square foot 2 level deck and large sunny wind-protected fully fenced yard. Here you will find patio furniture, a gas BBQ, garden with extra dining table, and newer Sundance spa with patio.

“Bay View” has a rare peek- a-boo view of the tip of the north end of Bodega Bay (through a valley captioned with redwoods and cypress trees) and the road to Bodega Head. The view changes constantly with boats heading out to sea during the day and returning home at night. In the evening the view is softly illuminated by fishing boats and local inns. On a clear night the sky is filled with stars to enjoy while relaxing in the spa.

Breathtaking View of the Bay

The Bay View House has been a fantastic place to stay. The house itself was beautiful and spacious, the perfect place to unwind and relax in, with a phenomenal TV to watch stuff on, and perfectly working utilities and amenities. The backyard was also wonderful, with wide open spaces and a great hot tub to soak in after a busy day. The crowning jewel of this place, however, was the beautiful view of the bay itself, surrounded by an abundance of trees and the cool ocean breeze, the perfect place to find tranquility and peace. Overall, a fantastic place to stay while visiting the coast.

Great house in Bodega Bay for staycation.

We loved our stay at this place. Everything in house is in sync with Sea theme. Pillows, decorations, color schemes added to our relaxed vacation. The house has a huge backyard which our dog enjoyed as well. It was great for a staycation. Janice was very welcoming and always available. Will definitely come back for another stay.

What a wonderful weekend at Bay View House!

The house was just perfect. It was spotless and Janice made us feel so welcome. The house is beautifully decorated and in a very convenient location to all the area beaches. It was super cozy. We only had the weekend there but know for sure we will be back. It exceeded our expectations in ever way. Loved the house!

This was a trip to a favorite place of my husband's to celebrate his birthday...just the two of us. I found this wonderful home to rent for our stay and it is just as described! Though it was a wet and windy stay, we loved every moment. Janice was great prior to our stay, providing all necessary information plus how best to find the weather outlook specific to the area. We will be back now that we've found "Bay View"!

I was concerned about the limits on visitors and spoke to Janice who allowed it. The house is lovely and well appointed. Only missing balsamic vinegar but lots of olive oil and tons of spices. Could use a water filtration system (even a brita). The fence appeared tighter than it was and my dog got out.Delighted to find a tea pot!

Wonderful stay at a wonderful home

Can't say enough good things. Hubby and I checked in, along with our golden retriever, to kick start my retirement. The house is beautiful and comfortable, has everything you could possibly need, and my dog enjoyed the fenced back yard and snoozing in the sun on the deck! The owner is a delight--she takes a personal interest in ensuring that your stay is just right. The bottle of "Marine Layer" chardonnay to congratulate me was an extra and much appreciated touch. I recommend a stay here absolutely---we will definitely be back to this lovely property next time we visit Bodega Bay.

Outstanding home and location

The weather gods were smiling on us during our weekend stay here in February. And the home is ideally situated to take full advantage of the sun and warmth. The owner has thought of every convenience to make your stay comfortable--including supplies of all those items so often forgotten. Clear directions for using appliances, electronics, etc are contained in a large binder, along with menus of local restaurants and comments on each. The owner also responds quickly to any question that comes up. We heartily recommend Bay View and plan to return ourselves. The Prescotts

Always Our Favorite Place to Stay In Bodega Bay!

Adorable, spacious, clean, and extremely well equipped home. Tons of detail and thought have gone into this conveniently located home right in Bodega Bay. Great walking trail easily accessed from near the house ( you can walk all the way from Bodega Bay to Salmon Creek Beach without walking on any roads!) When you stay here you are close to everything! ( Beautiful Sonoma Coast Beaches, the bay, Bodega Head, the restaurants and shops, loads of activities like kayaking , horseback riding, charter boats....) Everything is within 5 minutes away. But the home is still a peaceful and relaxing setting. In fact, the home is so lovely we enjoyed just relaxing in the house and yard on a couple days of our week long stay. The owner is great to work with too. We will definitely be returning !

Great home for a small group (4).You need to know that neighbors to one side , not nice and rather rude and aggressive. So this rental house is in small neighborhood. We are quiet and would not break rules. Owner of house was chill about it but still you need to know. Really no view but trails close by and those were very lovely. House well stocked, well designed and really wonderful until……

Beautiful Bay View Home

We absolutely loved this home! The home is immaculate and beautifully decorated. We loved the local artwork and the candles that are on timers throughout the home. There are heated mattresses that allowed us to sleep very comfortably. The movie collection has some really good movies. We watched the "Birds" and then went sight seeing in town to try to find some of the places where they were filmed. If you enjoy hiking, you can leave your car and walk directly from the house to numerous trails to the beach. We had great Mexican food right across the street from the property and also enjoyed some fabulous meals at Gourmet Au Bay and Terrapin Creek Cafe. I usually don't rent houses that allow dogs because they are usually a bit funky, but this house was different. It was very clean and ...well just perfect. We usually stay at the Bodega Bay Lodge just up the road, but loved having a kitchen and more space for parking our boat. I would highly recommend this VRBO property. Thank you Janice for the bottle of wine - it made us feel welcome and was very nice.

Bay View IS Serenity

We had the honor of staying at the Bay View Home this past weekend. This was our second time staying at Bay View. Immediately entering the house, we had a sense of familiarity, to the point of Bay View saying “Welcome Home”. The home is in pristine condition. Janice goes ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure those who stay at Bay View are educated in terms of the amenities the home offers. If you take the time to familiarize yourself with the very detailed book provided by Janice that outlines how to use items such as the spa or heating, you will have no problem. For those who need additional guidance, Janice is simply a text or phone call away. We lucked out and had amazing weather. The highlight of our trip involved a quick drive to Hog Island Oyster Farm in Marshall to pick up some fresh oysters and take back to the house. We sat out on the sunny deck, enjoyed our oysters and “adult” beverages and enjoyed the wonderful views. Bay View by far is the best property that we’ve stayed at. Thank you, Janice, for sharing your home with us and for your pro-active communication. We look forward to our next Bay View visit.

We LOVE this beautiful 5 Star charming getaway!!

This was our second time visiting Bay View and we loved it even more this time than our first! Janice is very attentive and makes the process so easy and is available at a moments notice if you have questions upon arrival. The house is perfectly situated between town and all the beaches. We are all about energy and for us this place is so peaceful and allows us to restore. The furniture is all high end and comfy and the house is equipped with anything and everything you need to make your stay effortless. We have two doggies and having a fenced yard makes it a wonderful place for us all. There are so many beautiful walks you can take with your dogs on trails, into town or nearby beaches. Our first time my parents were visiting so we didn't have time to enjoy the hot tub. This time it became our favorite feature! We sat in it at dusk and watched the sunrise in the mornings. It was so amazing and romantic:) We can't wait for our next opportunity to book with Janice! This place books up so fast so I recommend you book way in advance. I hope you LOVE it just as much as we do. Cheers!

Perfect Getaway Spot!

Our stay at this beautiful vacation rental in Bodega Bay was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views of the bay and the peaceful surroundings. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We especially loved relaxing in the cozy sunroom with the view of the bay.The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to cook meals, but we also enjoyed exploring the local restaurants and fresh seafood nearby. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we woke up rested and ready to explore. We spent our days walking along the beach, visiting the local shops, and hiking the nearby trails. The hot tub overlooking the bay was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings.The host was fantastic—responsive, thoughtful, and provided great recommendations for things to do in the area. It’s clear they put a lot of care into making this a welcoming and relaxing space.We didn’t want to leave and are already planning our next trip back. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views and all the comforts of home, this is the place. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Janice

Host profile image
Coming to the Sonoma Coast every year for the past 25 years I dreamed of someday calling this amazing area home. In 2004 I decided it was time to focus on my dream. So after watching the area real estate listings diligently for the next 7 years (for just the right fit) it finally happened . Christmas Eve 2010 we decided to pack up the dog and take a road trip to check out the home as soon as it was listed. It was in total disrepair from years of neglect. The outside of the house from the roof down was rotten. The inside was better, but required much work. I loved the layout and location of the home. I have always loved interior design and decorating in addition to any kind of DIY activities (both structural and creative)...and we decided to accept the challenge. 10 years of work and a lot of weekends later... The Bay View is a cozy coastal retreat. The home has given me a place to both be creative and relax while escaping the Sacramento Valley heat. It has been a true labor of love.

Why they chose this property

We love the Sonomoa Coast! When we found the Bay View House (in spite of its condition at the time) we fell in love with the convenient central location and the open floor plan that enables you to visit and enjoy the view from the entire living area. The house is just a few minutes from town and restaurants, the Sonoma Coast Beaches and Bodega Head (our favorite place to go) We also loved the large 1/4 acre yard (which we fenced in!) and of course the hillside peek-a-boo view of the bay that is framed by trees and a small valley (providing constant changing scenery, including night time activity of boats returning from sea). So many things close by (yet the location is peaceful): Within a few minutes are restaurants, trails, Bodega Bay, Bodega Head (whale watching), Bodega Habour Golf Course, Porto Bodega (charter boats), Chanslor Ranch (ocean view horseback rides), Doran Beach, and entrance to the beautiful Sonoma Coast State Park (comprised of 15 miles of sandy beaches). Getting to the beach or bayside is a 20-30 minute walk (3 minute drive). The Children’s Bell Tower, Coastal Prairie Trail to Salmon Creek Beach, and Bodega Dunes are also only a few minute walk from the house.

What makes this property unique

Large 1/4 acre fully fenced yard (a rarity at the coast). One of our favorite features was a pleasant surprise...the temperature/weather relative to the position of the home! Bay View is located in a micro-climate (known as the sun belt) which is often clear even when the coast and bay are foggy. Additionally, the position of the home allows the yard protection from the chilly ocean winds. The yard is often sunny, and the temperature can vary 10-20 degrees from the front to the back of the house! The sun heats the home through the large windows on chilly days!...But if it is too warm, simply open the front windows and the ocean breezes quickly cool the home. Eco-friendly heating and cooling! We often escape the fog banks, but are still close enough to hear the ocean waves and sea lions play in the distance in the evening.
