Classic in its coastal setting and beautifully polished in its design and decor, this three-level home in Bodega Bay enjoys a commanding view of Bodega Harbor. This inviting house is a place to relax, walk to wild ocean beaches nearby, and take in the rugged beauty of coastal Sonoma County.
Find ample space to park in the driveway and enter by way of the wraparound deck - a gorgeous spot to admire the bay view, soak up the sunshine in the afternoons, and grill and dine al fresco when the mood strikes. Inside, you'll find a living space that's full of natural light and California coastal decor. There's a living room with a wood-burning stove and a 55" TV capable of Roku streaming, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar for two, and a glass-top dining table by the window. The family room serves as another place to unwind, sporting its own 55" TV with Roku capabilities, as well as a lovely glimpse of the outdoor scenery.
The bedrooms are wonderfully separated among the three floors, offering both comfort and privacy. The entire third floor is one loft-style bedroom with a sitting area where you can read with a view of the water. There are two bedrooms on the main floor as well. The lower level acts as its own living space of sorts, offering a bedroom with a full bathroom, a cozy den, and a gas fireplace. Additionally, there is a table with chairs that can be used as a workspace, a dining set, or a game table.
THINGS TO KNOW Streaming services are available, but guests must log in using their accounts. This vacation rental is not equipped with air-conditioning. This home is not recommended for children under six years old, due to the four staircases and catwalk.

Good spot
The property is in a good location. Didn’t find the walk to the beach until the last day, unfortunately. The beach is really nice and the walk to it is pretty nice. The property had a muggy smell, but was clean. There was no access to washer and dryer which was the only thing that was missing.

Nice stay
Great location, view and access to outdoor activities. Perfect for our family of 5 with snoring husband and older kids who want some space. Clean and comfy overall, but don't look under the beds or couches (we dropped a game piece and always check under beds before leaving). Checking in and out was very straightforward. No problem trying to get TV, etc. to work. The power went out on New Years's Eve in the whole neighborhood and there was one good working flashlight in the kitchen. Not sure if that is normal during windy winter weather, but a battery powered light in each bedroom would be a good addition - it was dark! I did not communicate with the property manager at all but am required to choose stars - 3 for IDK?

Good but cold
House is close to online listing - but if it’s cold outside it’s cold inside. There is not any furnace or recirculating system. The house has a wood burner but no damper so it burns super hot getting the house to be +90 May be better during summer months
