Best views on Sonoma Coast!Oceanfront,private hot tub, fire pit, pets considered

After a day of beach combing, Sonoma Coast trail hiking, crab or chowder eating, wine sipping and art collecting retire to your deck for a sunset sip and a lighting of the oceanfront fire pit on the deck. Enjoy views of the stars in the dark sky from the private hot tub. 2 bedrooms and baths are on the top floor. All beds are queen sized to help you drift away to sleep as you listen to the waves. We have resident sea lions that hang out in front of the house and can be seen frolicking throughout the day! At certain times we live on property in separate private quarters with a separate entrance. It is our part time residence. When you send an inquiry for specific dates we can tell you if we will be there at that time. Even then, you will still have the 2 beds/ 2 baths/kitchen / living room/ deck/ fire pit/ BBQ grill and hot tub all to yourselves.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Wifi and cell signal is spotty in this area and is not guaranteed for your stay. At times there may be limited or no wifi access, which can be nice to relax and unplug sometimes. Verizon cell service typically is very strong but other carriers may not work throughout the town. To access beach you have a 1-2 minute drive, or you can walk down the driveway and down a steep hill to the sand. Please ask any questions you have before booking.

The views!!!! This wonderful cliff house is very private (thanks to the new bridge taking traffic away) and a wonderful view of the beach/sunset and moonlit ocean. We had a lot of fun discovering the "secret shortcut" to the beach and walk there 2x a day. Bodega Bay is a great place to eat out and it is difficult to beat this stay for so many reasons. That's a photo FROM the house the night before full moon.

Awesome oceanfront location on a beautiful and serene beach.

This property is a fantastic welcoming stay and an outstanding oceanfront location experience for vacationing near both Bodega Bay and Jenner on the coast in Sonoma County! The clean, comfortable and nostalgic setting is perfect setting for some kick-back R&R, yet also convenient to all the varied activities that this area has to offer. It is a wonderful vacation and coastal oceanic experience for all ages to enjoy.

Incredible Views and Comfortable Stay

This house is an absolute gem. If you're looking for a relaxing beach location that is dog-friendly and quiet, look no further than this vrbo! The beach was a very short walk, and the updated bridge with the pedestrian overpass made it easy and safe. This house has incredible views and is well stocked with all the kitchen and bathroom essentials. We enjoyed using the fire pit and watching the sun set from the patio. Communication with Cheryl was so easy and she even sent over recommendations for dog friendly restaurants and wineries! We very much appreciated our stay here and hope to be back soon!

We just loved staying here so much we never wanted to leave. Beautiful ocean front cottage that has everything necessary for your stay. Complete kitchen, tv’s in every room, and the sound of the ocean. It’s ocean front not just an ocean view like most places here.

Easy, friendly and accurate communication with our host. Beautiful location on the cliff top overlooking sea,rocks and beach. Cooked great meals in the kitchen and played board games in front of fires- both inside and out. Location was great for hiking and a short drive to fun breakfast, lunch and dinner places on the ocean. We will become regulars:)

Coastal Get Away

What a beautiful location! This is truly a hidden gem. The location was quiet, the house cozy and the outdoor space amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the waves and the sea lions and just relaxing. The fire pit is lovely (although we had just come from smoke due to forest fires and didn't use it as we were just enjoying the fresh ocean air). I'm sure we will return.

Great Stay

My wife and I have been going to Bodega Bay for many years now and this place was one of our favorites. Impossible to get any closer to the ocean and a one minute walk to an uncrowded beach. My 2-year old daughter and I did some "deck camping" and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The indoor bedrooms are also very comfortable. Great location just north of Bodega Bay - away from the crowds, but only 4-5 minutes to get into town. Hosts were very accommodating with excellent communication. Thanks for having us!

Breathtaking views

Perfect get away for hard working folks. You never want to leave the house and view as it is so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. What more can I say? Oh Yes....owners are very nice and considerate. Never met them but great experience by email. Highly recommended from someone who rents a lot of VRBO and Home Aways- Carmel, Monterey, Mendocino, and Sonoma. I will be back to this rental for sure.
