Welcome to our beach cottage for the 'Ultimate Pacific Coast Surf Experience'. Perched atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific approximately 4 miles north of Bodega Bay. The photo's will depict views from the actual property and the beautiful coastal inspired interior. You will have stairs down to a sheltered, secluded beach.

We are featured on Staycation an TV episode for the most unique short term rentals globally. https://youtu.be/e4ycfP6nlq0

Our guests health is at the centre of our focus, we have professional cleaners to sanitize the complete house before and after every guest. We follow the Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendation with additional precaution. We have contactless hosting service whereby you will be provided with a code to enter the house and can call us on the in-house phone anytime you need any additional assistance.

The beach cottage is built on the bluff over looking a spectacular show of nature at her best. The property has stairs down to a sheltered, secluded beach. You can have beach fun and family time exploring tide pools or a romantic, quiet picnic...Just the two of you and the ocean.

Enjoy your own private hot tub overlooking the cliff with panoramic views of the ocean. Enjoying the sunset while enjoying spa like treatment and the complimentary Sonoma wine. After sunset stay warm outside with your private fire pit and blankets while roasting marshmallows.

Enjoy downstairs area over looking the ocean reading a book on the chase lounge or hammock. Or role out a yoga mat on the deck enjoying tranquility and the beautiful Pacific sunrise or sunset.

There is plenty of opportunities to get active, we provide fishing gear for those whom want to catch their own fish in one of California's most recognized fishing hot spots right in front of you., you can BBQ the fish on both the wood fire pit or your private gas BBQ in front of the unit. You can harvest limited amount of mussels from the rocks and make your own mussel pot. Other activities include horseback riding, hiking, golf, surfing or wind surfing.

The Pacific, west facing beach cottage allows you to view the surf at all times and enjoy the most breath taking sunsets, crashing surf, sea mist and bold rugged rock formations. The great room with it's 20 foot wide wall of pacific facing windows is comfortably furnished with a beautiful glass pebble, flame effect fireplace and a wall mounted flat screen T.V. & Internet.

Dining for four at a table set in a corner window with views to both the west the headlands to the north, absolutely breath taking! All electric kitchen appliances: fast glass top range, and small appliances. Quartz counter tops. The kitchen is well appointed for enjoying home cooked faire. Why go out when you can have the best ocean view in town with the surf as your back ground music! Enjoy your cracked crab and Chardonnay at sunset with your family or special other. Gas Grill on front deck.

Attention to detail for your comfort continues throughout. We replenish our linens continuously and supply plenty of towels, linens, comforters (with duvet covers changed each guest) and quilts. All the mattresses and pillows have protectors and a high quality, excellent memory foam pad on the CA queen.

We have designed and furnished the Seamist Beach Cottage to create a memorable and wonderful experience that will leave you rested, renewed and ready to return again and again!

This location is unbelievably beautiful! We were only there for one night but the walk on the private beach the next morning was so memorable. Bodega Bay is charming and quiet, which suits this property well. The view is to die for, the private beach is wonderful, we saw live starfish and aenemome in the mussel encrusted rock formations. Local succulents were everywhere - the natural setting was surreal. The house itself is what you see, a bit dated and older, clean but well equipped. The linens and pillows need upgrading but it is apparent that the host has made great effort to welcome you with wine and fresh flowers etc. We were there for the view and got more than expected. I would highly recommend this spot.

Best amenity was the view from both inside and outside. So nice with clear walls to see the ocean and be protected from the wind. Cozy blankets in the living room were appreciated too!Enjoyed the stairs to the beach below and seeing so many starfish when the tide was out!!

Beautiful place and amazing setting. Very generous with complimentary drinks and snacks. Hot tub is great too.Downside is some amenities were not accessible and communication was unhelpful. The gas fire pit did not work and we tried different tanks (three of which were empty upon arrival). There is also no laundry, which was not a great surprise as we were on the way to a wedding. Reached out to the host and a day later were told it is for service use only and we needed to ask housekeeping for permission. Should be handled better for a stay of this price and quality. Fantastic location though.

Best View in Bodega

We rented this house along with the one next door for a family reunion. You can't beat the view and the home is comfortable with all you need to make a great meal. Kids loved playing on the beach and the adults loved looking at the waves all day. Great place to enjoy beautiful Bodega.

Incredible view, crashing waves! Rejuvenated our minds and allowed us to spend quality time together

We loved the cottage on the water. The sunsets were magnificent ! Location halfway between Jenner and Bodega Bay was perfect, making easy access to both. Staying here allowed us to explore the beautiful area, then come back and relax , and just be absorbed by wonderful view and magic of the ocean. Also, enjoyed seeing the mist of the whales blowing , as they passed by on their way North.

Spectacular setting in a cozy and well appointed cottage

You will not find a better cottage ON THE OCEAN in all of Northern California. Updated small cottage extremely convenient to both Bodega Bay and Jenner. Deck overlooks a cliff studded beach with low tide access to a beautiful sandy beach just south. We had an amazing stay and will measure all future beach houses by the example of Seamist.
