Great weekend getaway place
Great little place to stay for a weekend or a week. Great location off the harbor with big windows and scenic views…it’s the harbor, hwy 1 and then the cottage, but traffic noise was almost non existent. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in and the living area was very cozy. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms roomy. Other things, good Wi-Fi, large tv and secluded outdoor seating

Girls Weekend
My cousin and I booked a girls weekend at the Bungalow for a little post-holiday relaxtation and to celebrate another semester of college classes completed. It was beyond wonderful. This house is breath taking, we were both in complete awe when we walked in. The view was stunning, we arrived later in the afternoon for check in, just in time to catch the beauty of the sunset on the Marina. The house presented very clean and welcoming, had all the amenities in the kitchen needed for cooking a variety of meals, super pet friendly, and the layout and functionality couldn't be more perfect. The location is a big plus too, it's very close to a varitey of shops, making shopping or grabbing odds and ends very convenient.We had such a blast, and this home made the experience so special. We both hope to stay here again in the future. Thank you for all the effort you've put into making this such a cozy and inviting space, the memeories we made here will be cherished for a lifetime.

Very Nice!
This is not a large house, but it feels very airy and roomy due to large windows overlooking the harbor and lots of light. The kitchen is well equipped with many pots , pans and utensils, as well as spices, oil and coffee. A big plus for me was the central heating which worked very well. Many of the homes that I've stayed at in the area, either had only a wall heater, portable heaters or a fireplace. Noise was not a factor even though the house overlooks highway 1. At bedtime there was zero noise, and it was extremely quiet. Thank you to a previous reviewer who suggested using Taylor street for entry and exit to the property as it was much easier than pulling out onto highway one from Kent on a curve, Had a great time.

Lovely home with a water view, close to everything!
Comfortable, modern home with a private sitting area in back and well equipped kitchen. The only criticism I have is finding it. The house is not visible from the street you enter on and the house number is on the ground on a plaque. If it could be hung on the fence that would help.

What a view
The cottage is beautiful. Having two bedrooms with en-suite that were so well appointed was wonderful. The kitchen is large and has everything you need. And then there is the view out of huge panorama windows over Bodega Bay. Just stunning.

Great stay.
Surfer's Paradise was a great rental with comfortable furniture inside and outside. Great TV options were available. The place featured a full range, toaster oven, and coffee maker. But NO MICROWAVE, which was the appliance I would have used. The beds and bedding were fine. Parking is quite tight, but adequate for one small or medium car. The garden was extremely pleasant. The view of the bay was truly outstanding.

Amazing 4 person Waterfront Bungalow
Great location, beautiful home and gardens. Well appointed bungalow with amazing views of Bodega Bay. Clean, modern and comfortable. I think this might be my favorite vacation rental, definitely top 5! It’s great that such a nice property allowed dogs. Hope to return some day!

Family Getaway
What a cute home and garden! I found the listing was true to the description. The best part is the spectacular views of Bodega Bay! The backyard was a perfect hideaway to BBQ and hangout with our two dogs and two grandsons. The house is located within a short drive to all the popular beaches. There was a slight learning curve to working the house fans to keep the home cool during the warmer part of the day. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

April in Bodega Bay
We loved the house and especially the view and location. If you’re looking for a sleepy seaside town with fantastic views and access to seafood, and beaches this is a great place to visit. The added bonus is that you’re only 40-45 minutes from wine country Sonoma and Napa. The weather is cooler in April but highly recommend since there is less people and traffic.

Pretty Cottage inside and out
Location- 4.8 stars. A bit of challenge to find, the property is sandwiched between two other homes, there is no front entrance, enter the property through a 20 ft gravel walkway towards the backyard, look for a makeshift sign on the sidewalk, some traffic noise during the day, but quiet at night, close to many restaurants and grocery stores. Amenities 4.9 stars - You will feel right at home, everything is available including fridge, stove, coffee maker, toaster, bbq grille, shampoo, body wash, and even a very loud washer and dryer, however there is no microwave oven Cleanliness - 5 stars Dogs are allowed, I didn't notice any dog smell, dog hair or any unpleasant surprises. Very pet friendly, my pup loves it there. Overall 5 stars. We met the owner, super friendly gentleman, he actually has two other properties next to this rental. This cottage went through some recent renovation, three big windows that give you a wonderful view of the ocean.

Beautiful property! no complaints
Had a great recent 3 day getaway at this property and enjoyed everything about it. The cottage was very CLEAN and had all the amenities. Very modern and very dog friendly! The kitchen was fully stocked, and the structure had great views of the water and love that the place had tons of natural light! great little neighborhood and walking distance to the grocery store which we appreciated. it was very easy to book this place and check in. the batteries on the door keyless entry were low but when i notified vacasa they were very quick to respond and changed it right away, so we had no issues at all. appreciated everything about this place and will consider it again in the near future. thanks for a great stay! no complaints here and would recommend 100% to friends.
