About this property

Bodega Bay Gem: 180° Ocean Views, Hot Tub, Man Cave & Family Vibes – Sleeps 12

  • 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).
