Not a home insight to the West for 5,866 miles, just beautiful blue and turquoise Pacific waters! Comfortable for up to 6 guests, every room has unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy watching a variety of birds, ospreys, hawks, pelicans, seagulls, shorebirds, hummingbirds and fat California quail. Also an abundant of wildlife includes cottontail bunnies, deer, spotted fawns, foxes, migrating spouting whales, seals, and a resident Bobcat! During mid-October to early November if you're lucky, you might see some Monarch Butterflies in our yard that also migrate through Bodega Bay. Don't forget to bring your binoculars, cameras and flip-flops.

Beautiful home by the beach
Our family loved our stay in this wonderful home. It is big enough for eight adults to enjoy time together. We loved being so close to the ocean, and the trail from the house is such a bonus. We look forward to next time.

Another Amazing Stay
We found this property in August 2020 and it was an amazing getaway during Covid. Our kids have been begging to go back and we were finally able to make it back! The view and sunsets are breathtaking, the house is comfy, it's close to the beach, and a short drive to fun day excursions!

Great Father's day weekend
What a beautiful home with spectacular views it was very clean and tastefully decorated. Lots of room for my family. The game room was so much fun it inspired me to recreate it at my home. The host was very friendly and answered any questions promptly. We cannot wait to come back.

Relaxation at the Beach
Mia’s place is clean and beautifully kept. The bedrooms are incredibly comfortable and we loved the game room with ping pong, pool, and darts. Her fully stocked kitchen was welcoming for our holiday meals. The sound of the waves and proximity to the beach were a real treat. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Beautiful home & awesome view!
We had a great time at this home. Everything was clean and well stocked. I loved that each room had its own bathroom & bathroom supplies. The host was clear with all instructions. The only thing I would suggest is that you bring your own beach chairs for the back patio. The concrete table wasn’t the most comfortable. I hope to stay here again!

Bodega Bay Beauty
This is a beautiful, immaculate and comfortable beach themed home. The ocean views from both living rooms are unobstructed and stunning. Mia, the owner, has thought of everything, from the bedrooms to the recreation room, kitchen and living areas. The beach is just steps from the large back yard. We'll certainly return.

Casa Bella was a wonderful vacation spot. We enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching the ocean and sunsets. We were so excited to see whales the third day. The home is beautiful and just as it is described. Mia is an absolute delight to work with. We can't wait to return.

Couldn’t ask for more from a vacation home!!!
Where do I start? The property manager was absolutely amazing! Thank you again Mia! This home is a MUST STAY anytime you are at Bodega Bay! The kids were entertained with the games in the garage and my husband and I couldn’t stop gazing out at the ocean from our private bench in the back yard! This home has everything for a family and more!!! We will for sure be back to this home the next time we are in the area… I will also be telling everyone I can about this home.

Stunning place
The house is beautiful, with almost all rooms looking right out on the ocean. The manager let us know in advance that there had been a “huge water leak,” and then worked on it during our stay, graciously giving us a free night in the future due to the inconvenience. There’s something here for everyone—long walks on the beach, outside dining areas, a lovely loft from which to watch the sea or a movie on a large screen, and a great game room where we enjoyed the ping-pong table. A refreshing place to stay.

Perfect Girls Getaway!
Just finished a ladies weekend getaway with my high school friends (we have known each other for over 25 years). Casa Bella was perfect in every way. The location just can't be beat. The home overlooks the ocean, and is just steps away from Portuguese beach. October weather was just fantastic-80 degrees during the day and nice and cool in the evening. Every room in the house had an ocean view. I can't wait to return with my family!

Perfect family rental
The house was very nice and was as advertised. Wonderful functioning kitchen with all cooking utensils and pots. One son particularly liked the coffee machine provided, easy to use. The 10 and 12 year olds loved the huge t.v. and being able to play ping pong and pool any time they wanted in the garage. Views from the bedrooms and loft were delightful. Convenient to many beaches. Perfect house for family with children. Lovely front garden for relaxing after a day of surfing Donna ,August 2023

Wonderful house with amazing view!
The home was lovely and we truly enjoyed our stay! It was very easy to communicate with Mia and she was quick to respond. The home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. It is directly across the street from the beach. It is a little challenging to get down to the beach but once you are there it is beautiful! The only issue we had was a sewer gas smell in one of the bedrooms. (This is the only reason I did not give 5 stars)

The perfect getaway
We spent 3 days at Mia's property and it just could not have been better! Mia is the best host we have ever had at a short-term rental and the property was, as I said, just perfect. Right above the ocean with total views and complete privacy it had everything we needed or wanted! Fully stocked kitchens, dishes, cookware , glasses etc made it so easy to prep memorable meals for us and our 2 adult children and their spouses. When the weather turned from sunny to foggy and rainy we had the huge game room with billiards, ping-pong and darts. I could go on but suffice to say we are all in and highly recommend this property and our host Mia. Thanks for the great time and the new memories!

Beach Paradise
This place is a must stay if you’re visiting the Sonoma coast! First and foremost, the property manager was easy to communicate with and very responsive with us throughout our stay. When you pull up to the property, you will encounter a beautifully landscaped home with an inviting courtyard. Then you look through the front door and all you see is ocean! Prime location with beach views that can’t be beat! This nautical home was immaculately clean with a great kitchen that had everything you need for whipping up an amazing dinner. The house also has an awesome game room for perfect entertainment. This is a 3 bedroom home with 4 full baths. The primary has a fireplace with outstanding ocean views. The backyard has a firepit and a pathway down to the beach! An easy walk right down to Portuguese beach in minutes. We had a great stay and we highly recommend Casa Bella!

About the host

Hosted by Mia Jampolsky

Host profile image
I'm a Sonoma County native born and raised in Santa Rosa, California! I have always loved the beach, ocean, the rugged coastal cliffs and all the wildlife it has to offer. My Dad and his business partners developed Sereno Del Mar the area Casa Bella is in, in the mid-60's when I was just a little girl. My husband Mike and I feel very lucky to own a home in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Bodega Bay!

Why they chose this property

My husband Mike and I bought "Casa Bella" in 2001 we are the 2nd owners, it was built in 1989 the year we got married! Over the years we have updated it inside and out with a nautical theme for our family, friends and guests to enjoy. We live West of Sebastopol, just a short 20-25 minute scenic ride to "Casa Bella" it's a whole different world. As soon as you see the ocean it just does something to your sole. We love our home and we hope you will too making memories that last a lifetime! We look forward to hosting you and yours! Come see for yourself "Life's Better at the Beach!"

What makes this property unique

Private Oceanfront Estate with Pacific Ocean views from every room!
