Taylor Made Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

Perfect place and location
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was great and had enough essentials of everything to make it an easy experience overall. Location was excellent, so close to a market and the bay. Just a really nice place.

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.

Returning guests
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.

Great stay at Taylor Made Cottage!
The cottage is lovely and super comfortable. The location is great - complete with views of the harbor. I appreciated the very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, the EV charger and the board games! Can’t wait to return.

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.

I Would Stay Here Again
I would stay here again. It was clean. The house had all the amenities I needed to be comfortable, and all the lights worked. The furniture was comfortable. We only slept on the king-sized bed, and it was wonderfully comfortable. The sheets were nice cotton, and there were extra blankets and pillows. I am not comfortable giving it a five-star rating, because there were a few glitches with the house, during my stay. The shower in the back laundry/bathroom appears to have either mold, or the grout is discolored near the bottom. I did send a picture to the company. They said they would handle it. The most frustrating thing to me was the lack of communication about what procedures to follow, and how to lock the door from the outside. The first morning, I had to leave without locking the door, because I tried every button combination, to no avail. I called and spoke with a representative of Vacasa. At lunch, I called the company again, and they couldn’t tell me if anything had been done. I had hoped to avoid the 20-minute drive to the house and back. I arrived at the house to a note from John, who had locked the door. I called John and he walked me through the steps to lock and unlock the door. The instructions for how to lock the door from the outside were not in any of the emails, texts, nor were they in the in-house binder. Also, for two days there was a small group of ants who showed up on the kitchen counter. I wouldn’t ding them for this, but I wanted others to be aware.

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!

Cute, updated cottage, with a view of the bay from the front porch. The location was excellent as we walked to restaurants, a coffee shop and a grocery store! It was also convenient to walk our dog every morning through the neighborhood! Can’t wait to return!!!

We stayed at the Taylor house for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, with a small grocery store within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable, and the house is beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Comfortable and updated cottage
We loved this place and the view. The seating and beds were comfortable and the kitchen was set up well enough that you could actually cook in it! The reason we gave 4 stars for the neighborhood was that we expected it to be quieter, since it was on a side street. But I think the locals, especially noisy contractor trucks, use this street to cut through so traffic noise started early in the morning. The only other issue we had was that our small dog (17 pounds) could easily get through the deck rail, but he loved the yard itself. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Home To Stay
The home has a large master bedroom and big master bathroom. Very spacious! Love that we can bring our fur baby with us on vacation! Fully fenced so no escaping. Home was clean and you can see the water from the front deck. It is closer to highway 1 so you can hear the traffic passing by but not super loud. No immediate beach access close by so you'll have to drive a little ways. Overall I would recommend the home!
