'Harbor Cutie' is right in the center of Bodega Bay and has been enjoyed immensely by our family and our guests. Many happy memories from our families and our guests over the years happened here! Built-in 2000 with 3 bedrooms / 2 full baths, this retreat (sleeps 6-8)is centrally located in the coastal town of Bodega Bay. It has a large 600 deck with a panoramic bay view directly in front of you. For those who love to kayak, they can just bring their kayaks and launch them right across the street or have Bob from Bodega Bay Kayak bring them to you. Want to go on a fishing trip? Just book it and walk across the street and you are on your way. How about horseback riding? Schedule it and have them bring the waiver form and you will be able to walk 5 minutes to your destination. Beaches are within 5 minutes' drive or less away. The closest beach is Doran Beach which is located within 5 minutes drive from the Harbor Cutie and so is Bodega Dune Beach in the back of the property that you can also hike 20-30 minutes. There are at least 4-5 popular restaurants, the Terrapin Creek (was a Michelin star rated), Gourmet Au Bay, Ginochino's Kitchen, Spud Point Crab Company, and Fisherman's Cove, are within walking distance from the Harbor Cutie. The Secret Garden (where most weddings are held) is also on the same street and is less than 5 minutes walk as well.

Harbor cutie is an ideal place to enjoy Bodega Bay, particularly if you have young children or grandchildren! Our grandson was over the moon with the little playhouse as well as the toys both inside and outside the house. We enjoyed nearby hikes, going to the beach and the local farmers market. It was ideal to return to a comfortable home base where our three year-old grandson could continue to play while we made use of the kitchen and Weber barbecue. Our host was full of useful information, available by text and responsive to our questions and needs.

Nice 3 Day Weekend in Bodega Bay
For my husband’s 80th birthday, the immediate family gathered for a no- stress weekend in Bodega Bay. This little house was just what the doctor ordered. Nicely situated and thoroughly equipped, it suited our needs very well. The hostess could not have been nicer or more accommodating, the location was perfect. The only things that kept me from giving it a full 5 stars was that I wish we’d known in advance that the hot water runs out in the showers, a few things worked intermittently, like the plugs in the master bath, and a few things could be spruced up a bit. Nothing major, and if 4&1/2 stars were an option, that’s what I would have given it.

Great house facing the bay
The house is very well placed and the road only a bit noisy during the day. The beds and couches in the in the living room are very comfortable. We walked over the dunes through the Bodega Dunes campgound behind the property to the ocean and tramped all over Bodega Head at the end of the road. Fabulous hikes! It would be great to be there in the summer to be able to enjoy the outdoor sitting areas. Nice touch with a bottle of wine in the fridge for us on arrival. Thank you....
Great for a late Christmas get together with the family.
The location was great. The kitchen gear was extensive. We loved the gas stove in the living room: it made it cozy. Furniture was comfy and enough for all of us.
I especially appreciated the grab bar next to the bathtub in the main bath. So thoughtful.

Thanksgiving in Harbor Cutie
We had a wonderful time, it's well situated for day trips, beautiful sun rises and sets, and only one complaint. The road in front of the house has a pothole that a lot of trucks/cars hit, and the sound/shock would be felt in the house at all hours of the day and night. We cooked turkey and the fixings and we found all the necessary pots and pans. The oven works perfectly. Would recommend!

Perfect for Traveling with Kids
I didn’t have to pack a travel crib, highchair, stroller, or toys for the kids. Harbor Cutie had all of that (and more). The front and back yards are fully fenced and perfect for keeping kids contained, but free to explore. The playhouse was a big hit! Our family loved being able to hike to the Bodega Dunes from the backyard trail and we used the Sonoma Regional Parks passes. The host was very responsive and personable during our trip. Only thing that could use improvement is the kitchen sink faucet; it worked, but the base was loose and the hose didn't retract or pull out all the way. We would definitely stay here again!
