About this house rental

Welcome to Your Ultimate Beachfront Family Retreat in Bodega Bay!

Picture yourself in the main living areas, gazing out at breathtaking panoramic 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and Bodega Bay—stretching from Point Reyes in the south to Doran Beach and Bodega Harbor in the north. This classic early-1970s beach house captures the timeless Northern California coastal vibe you love, while being ideally set up for multi-generational families, big celebrations, and relaxed socializing. We've hosted countless family reunions, holiday gatherings, and joyful parties here—it's truly a home built for laughter, connection, and making lasting memories.

Spacious & Flexible Layout – Sleeps Up to 12 Comfortably:

Main Upper Level: One large master bedroom suite with a private deck, two other bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom, plus a bright, sunny bonus "Lady Cave" sun room with two matching full-size couch/lounger beds. This versatile space is perfect for extra guests, teens, kids, or a peaceful retreat.

Private Lower Level Studio: Separate entrance, full kitchen, full bath, and fun "Man Cave" setup featuring two TVs, a pool table, and a hide-a-bed. Ideal for grandparents, older kids, game nights, or anyone wanting their own hangout spot.

Stunning Views from Main Living Areas & Private Outdoor Oasis:

The main upper level—living room, dining area, kitchen, and master bedroom—enjoys full southern exposure, filling the spaces with natural light and those sweeping 180° ocean and bay panoramas. Step out to the large rear deck for a private 7-person hot tub, patio table, and gas BBQ—perfect for sunset dinners, evening soaks under the stars, family BBQs, or relaxed outdoor time. (The deck and hot tub face the private rear yard for a serene, sheltered experience—no ocean views from this area.) Behind the deck is a rare private rear yard (one of only two in the entire subdivision)—great for quiet time, kids playing, or traveling with dogs.

Just Steps from the Beach:

An easy 5-minute stroll takes you to the south end of Doran Beach: turn left for rocky tide pools (magical at low tide!) or right for two miles of sandy shoreline ideal for beach walks, bonfires (seasonal), or simply soaking in the coastal breeze.

Golf Course Subdivision Perks – Right in the Neighborhood:

Nestled in a welcoming public golf course community often called "the poor man's Pebble Beach"—bring your clubs and book a morning tee time to beat the afternoon winds. Short walk to the Bluewater Bistro restaurant and bar (fantastic views from the bar!), plus a public playground next door for the little ones.

Recently Refreshed & Exceptionally Well-Equipped:

We've preserved the beloved retro charm while investing in modern comforts: new stove and dishwasher (March, 2026) in the main kitchen, new oven (Fall 2024), new furnace (Summer 2024), new rear fence (Summer 2024), all-new main electrical panel (Summer 2023), and plenty of GFCI outlets for safety.

The kitchens are a standout—two fully equipped setups overflowing with everything you need (and then some!): silverware, dishes, pots, pans, glasses, two coffee makers, two teapots, two rice cookers, waffle iron, crock pot, popcorn popper, blender, citrus juicer, cocktail shaker, margarita glasses, multiple corkscrews, sandwich press, and endless extras. No need to pack kitchen gear—it's all here for epic family meals or group cooking.

This is a genuine family-friendly haven where everyone finds their perfect spot—whether whipping up meals, playing pool in the Man Cave, lounging in the hot tub, or enjoying those panoramic views from the main living areas.

Important House Notes & Rules:

TOT #1221N. Quiet hours: 10pm–7am. Maximum 5 vehicles. No smoking. Pets considered (please inquire in advance).

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This house has an excellent view of Bodega Bay and is just minutes away from Doran Beach. We were unable to find the five minute walk to Doran Beach trail, so it took us fifteen minutes to walk there. The neighborhood is very nice and is in the golf course literally. Three of our party enjoyed the golf course and we all enjoyed dinner at the golf course restaurant. There were nine of us and I think the house was large enough for us. There were plenty of activities to do at the house as advertised. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

This house was great for my dad’s 60th birthday beach getaway. You can see the golf course and ocean from the balcony’s. You can even hear seals if it’s quiet enough. We had quite a few adults with a few kids/pets and the house definitely accommodated. The homes curtains had some stains on them, and cobwebs inside in the master and living room, but was nothing that was a big deal. Very big comfy grey chair! We seen lots of wildlife and deer!! The jacuzzi felt great after golfing! The beds & linens were so cozy and comfy! The only problem we ran into was no fault of the host, but we had multiple wasps/hornets (about a dozen all weekend) and ended up biting the kids, might be a nest somewhere in the vents? But I believe the home has pest control. I would definitely stay at this home again. Host was very quick on communication!

Great house for family vacation.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
3 bedrooms with the man cave which not really conducive for sleeping on a couch. Kitchen was great for cooking newer appliance. Master door locks didn’t work 1/2 the showers didn’t work in both bathrooms. Master bathroom layout odd. Lots of dry rot - hot tub water should be drained. Could sleep 7 with doors and lots of spots for kids to crash on floor sleeping pads. Big screen tv worked well. No inside access to man cave must use outside stairs to get there. Laundry facilities were excellent - nice view and big kitchen table. It was clean upon check in.
