About this property

Bayfront Two Bedroom OVER the Water! Beach, Balcony & Pet friendly

  • Bodega Bay Waterfront Retreat – Tides, Views & Coastal Charm

    The Space

    Wake up on the edge of Bodega Bay, where the tides ebb and flow just beyond your windows. This waterfront retreat offers ever-changing views—sparkling water, coastal wildlife, and colorful sunsets—right from your private deck. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and cozy spaces designed for comfort, it’s the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Spend your days kayaking the bay, strolling to local beaches, or exploring Sonoma’s world-class wine country, all within easy reach.

    Living Room

    Relax into coastal comfort with panoramic bay views framed by large windows. The wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance—perfect after a day of beachcombing or wine tasting. Curl up with a book, enjoy a movie night on our new 65" TV, or simply watch the tide roll in.

    Kitchen & Dining

    The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a joy, from quick breakfasts before heading out to fresh seafood dinners at home. A bay-view dining area invites you to linger over meals while watching the changing light on the water.

    Bedrooms

    Primary Suite (King Bed): Wake up to sweeping water views and step out to the deck to catch the first light dancing on the tides.

    Second Bedroom (Queen Bed): Bright and comfortable, with fresh linens and easy access to the second full bathroom.

    Both bedrooms are designed for restful sleep, so you can recharge for your next coastal adventure.

    Outdoor Space

    Step outside onto your private deck perched above the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee with seabirds for company, fire up the charcoal BBQ for dinner al fresco, or unwind under a star-filled sky as the tide flows in and out.

    Highlights

    Direct waterfront setting on Bodega Bay’s tidal waters

    Expansive deck with outdoor seating & BBQ

    Cozy wood-burning fireplace for cool coastal nights

    Close to Bodega Harbor, fantastic restaurants and nearby beaches

    Wildlife viewing: seabirds, seals, and seasonal whale sightings

    Washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, and parking included

    Our home is a QUIET, peaceful home directly on the shore of Bodega Bay. The only sounds, noise we want our guests to remember are those of Bodega tides rolling in and out, birds, seals, otters and the fog horn and ocean waves crashing in the distance. Please be respectful to our neighbors and other guests. This is NOT a place to come and have a loud party. Please do not book with us if you are looking for a "party house".

Pet friendly retreat in Bodega Bay!

If you like to relax with your pup, this is the place for you! The sweet looks over the bay and is a great place to enjoy watching the boats. Leave the harbor! It’s a really cool historic building and we really enjoyed having access down to the water!

Rustic and Sublime

This is one of those homes that I have always wanted to spend time in when driving through Bodega Bay over the decades. So this was a dream come true for me and my family to spend a birthday here. The hardest decision each day was whether to go out, or to just order take out from The Fishetarian, open a bottle of wine, and sit out on the deck to watch the sunset.

Great Waterfront location

The place was exactly as described through the pictures and comments. Comfortable with great bay views (right on the bay). Good communication, easy check in, tricky driveway. Expensive, but my wife and I and our adult daughter really enjoyed the place! Glad we stayed here!

New Years Visit

Great property right on the water. Amazing sunsets and wildlife right off the deck. The unit could have been a little better marked, otherwise the directions to the property were spot on. Lots to explore in the area for families. We really enjoyed salmon creek beach. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful on the bay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bodega Bay. The moment you walk into the property you are met with a view of the bay through the floor to ceiling windows over the deck. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the deck watching the kayakers and wildlife. We will definitely go back.

Beautiful home and location

Loved sitting on the deck, which is right over the water, watching all the wildlife in and around the water. We felt very at home the minute we walked in. It's minutes from so many beaches and places to explore. Steve and Krista are wonderful host and are always available if you have questions. As many have said the driveway is a little tricky to maneuver but if you follow the instructions exactly as worded you will have no problem. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect view

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property and we absolutely love being right on the water. No matter the weather, the bay is enchanting. Our daughter had fun counting birds, boats, and the occasional seal throughout the weekend. Steve, the host, is easy to communicate with.

What a gem!!

This Bodega Bay VRBO is literally on the water with a great balcony and lots of windows. My midwestern family had a lot of fun watching out for sea lions, birdlife, and fishing boats during our three night stay. The rental layout and beds were comfortable, with modern amenities throughout. Hosts were friendly and helpful. A couple of grocery stores and nice restaurants were within a walkable distance. .

Another great stay

We have stayed at this property each year for numerous years. The location cannot be beat; right over the water! The house was super clean and both the property owner and cleaner asked if we needed anything. There was a lot of algae along the shore this year, but that didn't really affect our stay. We could only smell it in the morning. With such a great view from the deck, we rarely walk down the stairs to the beach anyway. We will definitely be back next year!

Sisters Trip

I traveled with 3 of my sisters. We each made comments about how amazing this place is. The view is incredible! We had no issues, all of our needs were met. The owner treated us as family, he was absolutely wonderful! Sitting out on the deck was so refreshing and relaxing. The unit was exactly as described. There was plenty of room and it was very comfortable. Check in was a snap and check out was just the same. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Peaceful perfection

I was totally impressed with the location! I will admit I was concerned because the parking directions were so specific and I couldn’t quite get a good sense of the layout from the pictures. But when we got there, everything fell into place. The driveway is daunting but easier to manage with two people in the car. The entry is a key pad which was great, no key to keep track of. It was lovely and modern inside and literally worth every penny just to be right on the freaking water. We sat on the deck with binoculars and saw tons of wildlife. We didn’t have any kids with us, but 4 grown adults were perfectly comfortable. I love visiting Bodega Bay so I hope to stay here again.

My favorite view

My 4th visit here. Love it for the views and birdwatching. Appreciate that the driveway has been newly paved and entrance to unit has sturdier wood walkway. Couldn’t find the step stool that helps us reach the dishes on the second shelf, so had to handwash things and reuse. Absense of lamps in main living/dining area made reading and relaxing less appealing. Still no grab bars in shower/tubs. The location is still my favorite in the area, so I still give it a 5 star.

Birthday reunion

What a fabulous home to stay at! The online discretion doesn’t give it justice for how “on the water” this home is. 2/3 of the home is over the water. You don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife the Bodega Bay has. We even got to watch a midair battle for a fish between an osprey and a bald eagle 20’ in front of us from the living room! The home is very convenient to the markets for food and 5 minutes to Bodega Head. The kitchen had all you needed to make great meals while you looked out at the bay. Both bedrooms were very comfortable and having two full baths is great. We would highly recommend staying here for anyone that wants to spend time on the water or heading inland to wine country or the redwoods. Eddie and Debbie

Best view/experience ever!

The house was amazingly beautiful and well stocked with all of the necessities. The owners were nice and communicating with them was easy. The place is an overall 10/10. For my honest review here are a few things that we struggled with but not a big deal. The sofa bed, id leave it for the littles. Not suitable for adults. Lol... the house had animal hair flying around and on the floors. I communicated that to the owners and they send the cleaning lady to clean it up. But nothing major to not want to stay here. The biwes were amazing. Out of all 3 properties. Unitl 1 was the best view and a the biggest deck. Id sray again!
