Wonderfully situated in the heart of the old village, this inviting cottage brings contemporary comfort to the most classic of Bodega Bay settings. Stroll down to the water's edge to watch the fishing boats come and go, and catch unforgettable sunsets from the wraparound porch overlooking the bay.

This single-story home is located in the waterfront town of Bodega Bay, within a few blocks of several cafes, shops, and fishing charters. Whether your interests lie in beachcombing, fishing, or surfing, you'll have South Salmon Creek Beach, Bodega Dunes Beach, and Doran Beach all within two miles. This is also a great home base for exploring the Sonoma and Marin Coasts, with Jenner (11 miles), the Russian River Valley, and Point Reyes National Seashore (35 miles) close by.

This home is nearly a century old, but it's been thoughtfully updated in recent years to enhance its comfort, ease, and original charm. At the heart of the living space is a brand-new kitchen, offering stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining room table.

Begin each morning with a mug of coffee and a cushioned seat outside on the sheltered patio, and end each evening curled up in the warmth of the gas fireplace in the living room. Set up a board game at the dining room table, use the complimentary WiFi to check tomorrow's tides and surf, and leave the day's swimsuits and clothes in the care of the washer/dryer before turning in for a restful night's sleep.

Nice Beach House

We really enjoyed this home. The home is clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck sipping on wine and enjoying the outdoors. We drove to Doran beach and enjoyed spending time on the beach!

Charming Coastal Cottage

This charming cottage is in a good location, right off the main street. There is a lot of traffic on the main road, but it does die down in the evening and didn't bother us. We loved the kitchen which looks newly remodeled. There is a good selection of dishware to use. The only suggestion I have is to have a little more cookware, specifically larger fryng pans and update the walking shower. Other than that, it's very cozy and perfect for 2-3 adults or 2 adults and two small children. The fenced patio was great for our dog and it has a nice front porch that you can sit on and people watch. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of bedding. The cottage was very clean on arrival and we were very appreciative after a long drive. We definitely would like to come back for another stay in the future. Thank you for our stay!

Great place for a family of four

Our family of four plus a dog had a great time at this property. It’s a good size for up to four (dining, beds and seating would be hard for 5), and the location is great. We booked because dogs were allowed, but the back yard is not fully enclosed and dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture - our dog rolled with it, but it was unexpected. One of the showers was really hard to use without getting water on the floor, but the other bathroom was more kid-friendly. Also, the heater did not work, and it got chilly in the evening. The kitchen had all the gear we needed and some basic pantry items, and the shop across the street (Diekmann’s) was incredibly well stocked. This would be a great place for a family of four to stay for a longer trip, the washer/dryer and kitchen make it an easy place to settle in. Also liked that the TV and clocks were available, but not the center of attention - made it easy to switch off and focus on the people. Heads up to vacationers: the restaurants and shops in the area can close early, so get your supplies early and take advantage of the full kitchen. Also, there are limited sidewalks, so plan to drive most places except Diekmann’s and the shops off Bodega Avenue, or other places you can reach by walking through the neighborhood and carefully crossing the 1. We truly enjoyed our stay, and none of the negative bits mentioned were enough to lower the rating - this was a great place for our family.

Spectacular view!

This peaceful cottage has a wrap around deck from which you can watch the sunset over the Bay! The kitchen looks new and has all you could need, including a coffee station. It is centrally located allowing you to walk to the Bay and local delis, restaurants and a grocery store. Quiet neighborhood. Sunny back deck. We had a wonderful time!

Bodega Bay getaway

This home was perfect! I loved sitting on the porch in the morning with my coffee with the view of the bay! The home is so cute and very clean and perfectly located with several beaches around to visit. We went to Diillon Beach, which is a dog friendly, no leash beach and our pup made friends with several other furbabies enjoying the sand and waves. The beautiful home has everything you need, including the dog bowls, a coffee grinder and frother and even a crockpot! There is a market, just a 1 minute walk if you forgot anything and their burgers and pizza are yummy! They really added all the little touches for this home away from home. We are already planning our next stay here!

Great place for dogs and partial handicap

We were able to take my 90 year old mom with us and our 2 dogs. The house has a good open floor plan for her to move around with her 4 wheel walker. I grow up coming to bodaga bay and going camping at Doran beach. With my mom we could not go camping. This cottage was a great way to stay with all of us under one roof.

We came back to this wonderful cottage and will continue to return in the future. It is cozy and comfy, it is fully stocked, doggie supplies too, in an awesome neighborhood, close to everything in Bodega Bay. Check in and out is so easy. And the communication with property management is great.

Sweet home , by a thousand beaches

This house was perfect for our group. We had 1 dog, and the neighborhood was perfect for walking him on a leash. Although there are many state beaches that do not allow dogs, we found Dillon Beach ,Goat Rock , and School Beach dog friendly. the house was clean and cost and both decks were perfect for hanging out outside.

Excellent vacation home in Bodega Bay

Taylor Made Cottage was perfect for my husband and I plus our small dog. The home is located within a very short walk to groceries and dog friendly restaurants. We could see the Bay and hear the fog horn from the porch and, although the home is located near a "busier" roadway, there was no traffic noise at night. The home is well equipped with towels, pillows, games, kitchen necessities...everything I could ask for to make the home comfortable. Check in was easy, the door lock has a code so I had to be sure to have the code on me whenever locking the door to leave, however, I felt that I could contact the host for help if I needed it. The communication with the host was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacation home to my friends and family.

Nice property. Needs more attention to detail.

We really loved the location and property overall. We know this review might seem like we are nitpicking, but you put faith in advertising and feel this gem isn’t getting the attention to the things that make a vacation rental feel like home. For the price we all pay for vacations one shouldn’t have to be so critical but the issues listed should be addressed.
