About this property

Waterfront 2 Bed-King/Queen , 2 Bath + INCREDIBLE VIEWS perched over Bodega Bay

Your Bodega Bay Home directly over the water!

Just imagine coming home and enjoying scenic Bodega Bay....with private bayfront balcony over the water. Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Bodega Bay. You'll enjoy watching the seals, heron, gulls, cormorants, white pelicans, brown pelicans and sandpipers right from your deck over the tidal waters.

You will enjoy a fully equipped, modern kitchen. Beautiful granite countertops with a gas stove, full size refrigerator and oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

This two bedroom, two bath vacation rental is part of a three unit property, and the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. This is an upstairs unit and our guests need to be able to climb stairs. Guests that book this unit also need to be mindful of the guests that may be booked in the unit below you. The noise transfers in our historic home. We ask that you remove shoes inside (bring slippers or socks) and please, no running or jumping. For this reason, we encourage our guests that have younger children or pets to book their stay in our lower unit one.

Living room and both bedrooms are equipped with smart TV's. Guests will need to log into their own streaming apps (Netflixs, Hulu, etc.). Views of the bay from your bedroom windows...watch the sunrise as you wake up in your queen sized comfortable beds. The living room area has a wood stove to keep you cozy. Guests need to bring their own small sized wood logs (16" or smaller), duraflame or presto logs. A private balcony hangs over the water with 4 hightop chairs & a weber grill (guests please bring charcoal). You will enjoy free high speed Starlink Internet / WIFI.

We are centrally located along the scenic and dramatic Sonoma Coast. It's just an hour and 15 minutes from San Francisco, and less than an hour from Napa and Sonoma. The Russian River is just 15 minutes away, so there are literally hundreds of activities to choose from during your Bodega Bay vacation! Or you can stay put and just enjoy the wildlife and wonderful ambiance of Bodega Bay.

Our home is a QUIET, peaceful home directly on the shores of Bodega Bay. The only sounds, noise we want our guests to remember are those of bodega tides rolling in and out, birds, seals, otters, the fog horn and ocean waves crashing in the distance. Please be respectful to our neighbors and other guests. This is NOT a place to come and have a loud party.

The view, when not foggy was top notch. But an explanation of the STEEP drive way should be added. I did not know until 3 days before our departure that the bottom of my car could "bottom out". So I had to take a different car and it is still not for the weak of heart to get out of the driveway. The place is well stocked, clean and quiet. BUT if you WiFi is important during your stay, you will have issues. The owners were very easy to communicate with...they have a very cute place.

My husband, 2 kids and I had a wonderful stay. The location is amazing, right on the water. The deck is perfect for sitting and watching seals and birds. The driveway wasn’t bad as long as you exit to the left.

Loved the closeness of the water, especially when sitting in the captain chairs on the deck. Convenient little store(Diekmans) within walking distance for any daily essentials. A great place to go and do nothing but eat at restaurants or bring all your own food and never leave..

Beautiful property and super responsive host. Amaaazing location right on the water. Wonderful to wake up to the sound of seagulls, distant fog horn and passing boats. Finding the drive is a bit tricky but the host gave excellent instructions. Hope to stay here again.

Great Place to Stay

Right on the water, several decks you can just chill out and enjoy. I was able to fish off the bottom deck and enjoy watching the seals and kayakers on the top deck. Everything you would need and only a block away from the mini mart. The only crazy part was the driveway but it got less scary the longer we stayed.

On the water, beautiful sunsets for the fam

We rented this apartment in Bodega Bay for my daughters spring break from college. With the central location, it serves us very well for oceans and forest expeditions. We cooked at home several nights and enjoyed sunrise & sunset overlooking the bay. Even though the apartments are directly on the water, the beach was too cold for lounging, but beautiful to look at!

Wonderful home

Just what we needed. After moving, and our wedding, the family needed a vacation to rest, and reset. Beautiful scenery of the bay, right on the water. Slept with the window open, so we could hear the bay when the tide was in, and of course the smell of the saltwater. Hated to go home, but will definitely be back.

Fun cottage on the water

A fun “cottage” in a 3 unit home. It’s been fixed up nicely & is very comfortable. The home sits over the water. Beautiful view of the bay & a great place to watch for seals. Steve is very helpful & responds quickly. The wood stove easily heats the home. An easy walk to the road that goes around the bay. The kitchen is well equipped for dinners in. All in all an enjoyable place to stay.

quick weekend getaway

We stayed here with friends this last weekend and it was fantastic. They had a tree that went down in the storm and there was an excavator where parking should be but we ended up with the place to ourselves and used the garage to turn around. The driveway was very muddy but that is to be expected with the storms we had. The accommodations were great, views and sunsets were gorgeous and it had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your property and I will be back for sure !

Beautiful views of the bay and really enjoyed watching the seals and birds off the deck. Well appointed with everything we needed, except a bottle opener (couldn’t find one, anyway). The only bad thing was the driveway; it was terrible to get out of. They do warn you that you can’t turn right out of it, because your car can hang up on the curb, but we also got hung up going to the left. There was construction going on next door and work on that driveway, so hopefully, that will also help with the entrance to this one. But, a fabulous time overall.

About the host

Hosted by Krista and Steve

Host profile image
Our property features three private rental units. Having lived in the area for many years, we are happy to provide recommendations and resources for your trip to the Sonoma Coast!

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet and serenity of Bodega Bay. While the history of Bodega Bay is rooted in the fishing industry, there is a lot of activity and variety in this small town. You can enjoy dozens of scenic beaches, hiking, biking, wine tasting, fishing, golf, you name it. No wonder Bodega Bay is one of the most popular towns on the coast.

What makes this property unique

Staying right on the water is the most unique aspect of this property. Enjoy watching the seals and pelicans right out of your window or while relaxing on the deck. I love watching the changing of the tides, and watching the fishing boats pass 'At the Bay's Edge' on their way to unload their catch.
