Wonderful large home. Easy check-in with excellent instructions on how to use everything in the house. Our teens especially loved the ping-pong and pool tables. The home is close to two trails that lead to the beach. Great view of the ocean.

Every year our family camps at Doran Park and several of us rent a house in Bodega on the golf course to be close to the park. This rental did not disappoint. With five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious and open kitchen, large table with plenty of seats for dining, and a very cozy living room, our family had a great time for the 6 nights we stayed there. The views from the decks are stunning and even the view sitting in the hot tub was spectacular. Don's communication and instructional binder is very detailed and we really had no additional questions or concerns with the house. Definitely recommend this home for teens and multiple families staying together. Thanks again Don.

Great property with a peaceful view. Nice lay out with plenty of room. Garage with pool table and ping pong made time for fun. The only recommendations is to provide storage bags and additional towels. And to let renters know there is construction across the way.

We had a great 4 day stay! The check in process was simple and the house was very clean. The living area was spacious with a large dining table which was perfect for our group to all spend time together. There are stairs so if you have small children be sure to bring a baby gate. The neighborhood was perfect, great location, on the course, and there is a short hiking trail down to the beach with tide pools. *****My only complaint is that the hot tub was not staying warm. It would randomly get warm however it wouldn’t stay warm and never seemed to be warm when we wanted to use it. It tells you not to touch the pad to make adjustments however even if we wanted to it has duct tape over it so you can’t see anything. Big bummer.

Perfect Family Reunion

The house is perfectly located for exploring the Bodega Bay area. The open layout of the dining, kitchen and living room area was very comfortable and functional for our group of 7 adults to hang out in. Being within walking distance of the beach from several approaches (via the south end of Doran beach and Pinnacle Gulch trails) was extra wonderful. Thank you for helping to make our family reunion a memorable event. 3

Bodega bay reunion

The property was great, everything was easy and simple to find and use. Very spacious and great for our group. Was in town for a family reunion and 5 differen properties were rented across several families. Our group was 9 and our max house allowable was 12. This made getting together for dinners etc. Virtually impossible, no fault of the manager of the property, just a reality of the situation. The house was really nice and spacious and each family had their own bathroom which was great! Just know that if you have a LARGE group, in bodega bay, the beach is really one of the only places for meeting up as a large gathering. Would definitely come back to this property again, but for a large reunion, bodega bay may not have been the best choice. Had it Only been our 3 families staying together, the stay would have been perfect and the house would have suited our every need!

We really enjoyed our stay and the house is very comfortable with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing weekend. They layout is ideal and there is ample seating. Everyone played ping pong at some point in the garage and billiards was a plus as well. We didn't use the hot tub mainly because there's not much of a view to see from it but also the controls were covered in duct tape so we didn't want to take any chances with it. I did message the host who responded right away and informed me that it's more to prevent a specific button from being used which would trip up the temp settings. House is perfectly located 1/4 mile from the Pine Gulch Trail entrance which leads to the beach. I would say it's more of a moderate walk/hike rather than an "easy" one. The microwave button in the kitchen would "stick" and require you to use both hands to open, but was fully functional. Everything in the house is labeled and had everything we needed for a great weekend. Keep in mind that VRBO does not make it very clear at the time of booking that an 8 page short term rental agreement is required and will ask for your guest list complete with names & ages along with your phone # and address. This is not something I have ever experienced before in booking via VRBO in past vacation rentals so this completely caught me off guard and don't recall anyone mentioning this in their reviews. This is important to be aware of if you are particular about you & your guests' privacy as it is required.

Light-filled, spacious home in a lovely neighborhood

Our family loved our stay. The house is a short walk to a path to the beach, a short drive to another bigger beach for fishing and crabbing. The house itself was very clean, well-equipped, spacious, and offered views from the many windows and decks. We would love to return for a future visit.

Everything we needed

Beautiful home. Very well stocked kitchen. Lots of room to spread out. Communication with owner was great. Clean. Slightly dated but that didn’t matter to us. The only minor problem was the BBQ was difficult to control, we couldn’t get low setting to work. It would work on high but when we tried to turn it to low it would shut off. Overall it was a great home and we really enjoyed our stay.

Successful return trip

Our second stay at this house, this time with a couple more people. The five bedrooms easily handled our group of 8 people, and the Great Room is never crowded but still feels cozy. A lot of wind and rain while we were there but we stayed warm and comfy. The refrigerator is big - but a small nit is that you can't store anything in the door itself, as door shelf parts are missing - so can be a bit of an organizational challenge for any group that intends to stock the fridge for a lot of cooking. Hardly a fatal flaw - wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great house needs a little work.

Beautiful house and great location near beaches, but it needs some attention. When we stayed, the washing machine was broken, and the dryer (we hand washed some clothes) didn't seem to dry clothes very well. In addition, the stove burners needed to be manually lit, the lower dishwasher rack kept coming off its rails, and the microwave open/close button kept getting stuck. Also, one of the bathroom drains didn't drain very well and only one of the 8 lights in the garage was functioning making playing pool and pingpong dim experiences.

About the host

Hosted by Don Munger

Host profile image
I grew up in Sonoma County and have always loved our beautiful coastline. My wife and I greatly enjoy spending time in the outdoors, exploring California from the beaches to the mountains. With our three children off to college and an empty nest, we decided to buy a home in Bodega Harbour South. We fell in love with this beautiful property and have had a lot of fun making it a comfortable, homey place to stay. When we retire we look forward to having our children and grandchildren spend time with us at this wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

This property gives you immediate access to all the Bodega Coast has to offer. For golfers, the 13th tee is right outside the backyard. Doran Beach is a short easy walk along a quiet road right out the front door, less than a mile, with easy access. Pinnacle Gulch & Short-tail Gulch trails take you down to the ocean and back on a wonderful 3-mile hike from your front door. This is a perfect gateway to all of Sonoma County, minutes from the surrounding coastal beaches, the Russian River and all of the wine country.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, spacious, and wonderful views make it the perfect place to relax with the whole crew.
