"Heaven on earth! The coziest of cozy cottages! Everything here was an ideal portrait of Bodega Bay. I don’t think we’ve ever felt more at home in a rental. Pure bliss! Beds?

Fisherman's Cottage

The cottage is quaint though is in need of some minor general repair. All doors to outside need to be weather sealed (very drafty). Some dishes/cups are chipped (in several places) and should be replaced. Yard is overgrown. Location is great, easy & quick walk to the beach. Overall it was a nice stay.

Lovely stay

What a sweet little cottage with a lovely location just steps from Salmon Creek and beach. I spent a quiet week working with great internet access and grandchildren ages 5 and 6 came over the weekend and enjoyed the cute twin bedroom and walk to beach. Would definitely recommend for singles, couples or small family. Can't wait to return!

A Pleasant Stay

All was as expected with one “miss”… no starter coffee! After a late arrival in a remote location to find no coffee available in the house and a late morning trip to a convenience store the only option it was a rough start. A pleasant stay all in all.

The perfect cottage

We rented the cottage to be near our grown kids who were camping at Doran Beach. It was such a pleasant surprise to enter the quaint fishing village and find the cottage perched up on the hill with a slice of a view of Salmon River and the ocean in the distance. The house was appointed with everything you could need, beds were very comfortable, shower was great, electric wood stove made for a very cozy retreat from the cold windy weather we were experiencing. Location was perfect...close to everything and a very short walk to a beautiful stretch of beach. We will certainly be hoping to return to this charming cottage in the future.

Fisherman's Cottage

Upon entering the property it was a stench of staleness that lingered in the home. It didn't feel clean and it made the entire experience subpar. I left and didn't finish my stay because of the uncleanliness.

Charming cottage

1st stay at Fisherman's Cottage and we were thrilled with the cottage. Close walking distance to beach. Cottage clean, comfortable, had all the essentials we needed. Had a couple of issues, called for assistance and received prompt service, including serviceman coming to cottage to check heater. Excellent. Only other issue were ants in the kitchen each morning. Let management know at our departure. We will be booking again!!!

The house is bright, cosy and welcoming. It was cool at night but the gas fireplace made the livingroom cosy. The beds were comfortable and the location is perfect: quiet, 2 minutes from the sand dunes and beach and close to beautiful hikes and great seafood restaurants. I hope we can come back to Bodega Bay.

Great location!

Overall the Fisherman's Cottage was enjoyable. There are no windows you can open to enjoy cross breezes or the sounds of the waves at night. We did try the living room window however it is stuck closed. There are no screen doors with all the doors. The "sunset view" from the upper deck is obstructed by a house and trees. The outdoor furniture for dining off the kitchen is in need of repair and cleaning. The kitchen stove is not burning correctly--- soot being left on pans, strong smell when burners are on.

Love Bodega Bay!

The Salmon Creek House was adorable and perfect for our family vacation. It had everthing we needed and I love the electric fireplace for heat. Walking distance to an awesoe beach. My grandchildren loved sliding down the sand dunes. We never would have thought to do that but it was listed as "sand sleds" available for the dunes along with pictures. Can't wait to return for another visit. THANK YOU!!
