About this house rental
This is a "Family Friendly" House. Great for socializing. There have been far too many 'multi-generational' parties and celebrations here to count.
The HOUSE features:
- UPPER (Main) Floor has Three Bedrooms, Two Baths and a bonus Sun Room we call the 'lady cave' that has a reading chair and futon couch.
- LOWER (Ground) Floor is a separate Studio apartment with its own private entrance and is complete with full kitchen and full bath. We have it set up 'man cave' style with two TV's, a pool table and hide-a-bed.
- Panoramic, almost 180 degree views from the main level. You can see from Point Reyes in the South all the way through Bodega Bay, Doran Beach and Bodega Harbor to the North.
- Easy five (5) minute stroll to Doran Beach. You arrive at Doran Beach on the South end where to the left are the rocks and tide pools (at low tide) and to the right the full two miles of the beach.
- Full Southern exposure in the living room, dining area, kitchen, and Master bedroom.
- Large rear deck with seven (7) person hot tub, patio table and gas bar-b-que.
- Private rear yard behind the deck - we believe that is one of only two in the entire subdivision. Great for a little quiet time or for those of you traveling with dogs.
Our GOLF COURSE SUBDIVISION neighborhood features:
- Public golf course. Bring your clubs and play the course known lovingly as 'The poor man's Pebble Beach.' But call ahead and try to get a morning tee time so you don't get caught trying to play in the afternoon winds.
- Public restaurant and bar called the 'Bluewater Bistro.' Just a short walk withing the subdivision from our place. The views are great, especially from the bar.
- Public playground for the little ones. Next door to the bar and restaurant.
- Easy walk from our house to the beach. About 5 minutes.

We enjoyed the space. The amenities are great for enjoying the space and the proximity to the beach is fantastic.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
The place was clean, and in a very nice neighborhood.It was about 8 minute walk to the beach.Every thing worked, but many things were older (pots, pans, utensils, hot tub, BBQ, etc.There really are only 3 bedrooms in the main house.They are bigger sized, but two of them share a bathroom.The man-cave cannot be accessed from inside the house and our one teenager did not feel comfortable sleeping there separated away from everyone.The pool table is full size, in good shape, but only had one pool cue, plus a short one needed because of lack of room for some shots.While we were there, the ice maker would sometimes make a loud noise and needed to be shut off to get the noise to stop. Which is annoying in the middle of the night.Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our stay.But I have stayed at other places that were much better taken care of. Still, this worked out ok for us and everyone had a good time.

The most spectacular weather out at Bodega Bay for this special family get together! We enjoyed the relaxed family centered vibe of this home. Having great soaks at night under the Milky Way and lots of laughs playing pool. Sports on the big TVs and enjoying the accessible beach from a nearby path. There were some musical folks so the piano and guitar were a special touch. Not to mention the old school video game table. The host was very nice too. Everyone had a great time! Beautiful sunsets and blue ocean views made coffee time so cozy in the am. And some of us enjoyed the golf course with views galore!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
The view was really beautiful from the master bedroom and dining table. We enjoyed the large gathering area, the shower and pool table in the man cave, and the quiet neighborhood. Otherwise, we were very disappointed with most of the house. It really needs a thorough cleaning (especially the mold), updating, and repairs in lots of areas. There was a lot of clutter and stuff piled in the closets of the small bedrooms, pantry, and cabinets in the kitchen. The light switch in smallest bedroom needs fixing. There should be mirrors in all the bedrooms, especially with many sharing the bathroom. The kitchen cabinets are in really bad condition. The exterior is probably in the most need of repair in the whole housing area. We wondered if the owner ever even goes to the house and sees the condition it is in. We did enjoy our time together as we live in three different cities and met there for some vacation time. We only want to be honest about the house so it will make it more enjoyable for others.
