About this property

PINE VIEW BUNGALOW - OCEAN VIEW BUNGALOW IN THE PINES AT BODEGA BAY

The Pine View Bungalow is a two bedroom, two bath home perfect for one or two couples or a small family. The house is located on scenic Highway 1 at the north end of the fishing village of Bodega Bay. It is situated at the back of a large double lot and is adjacent to our other one bedroom/one bathroom Pine View Cottage. There is a large fenced back yard. There is ample parking for your car(s) or boat(s). We welcome you and your well behaved canine.

Pine View Bungalow was completely remodeled in 2011. Upon entering the home, you will immediately notice the beautiful finishes including 14' vaulted ceilings paneled in knotty pine, the rock faced gas fireplace, the wainscot and the numerous windows that take advantage of the fantastic view. The living room is furnished with a comfortable sectional, chairs and a large coffee table perfect for laying out a puzzle or playing games. Additional amenities include free Cable TV, DVD/CD player with surround sound and high speed wireless Internet.

The first bedroom has a queen bed, vaulted knotty pine ceiling and a large sliding glass door that opens onto the back patio. There is a bath directly across the hall from this bedroom that has a tub/shower combination and also houses the stacked washer and dryer. Up two steps is the spacious master bedroom, also with a queen bed and a sliding glass door that opens on to the patio and hot tub. Up five steps is a spa-like master bath that features a glassed in shower with a river rock floor, and a vaulted, knotty pine paneled ceiling. There is a hot water on demand system for the house that provides unlimited hot water (although we encourage water conservation).

The kitchen is fully furnished with all the equipment necessary to prepare fantastic meals. You might even use vegetables bought at the seasonal Bodega Farmer's Market or locally caught sea food, particularly dungeness crab purchased from any one of several sources within a 1/2 mile of the house.

If you enjoy cooking like we do, you may never want to leave the house, but if you choose to treat yourself to a great meal, the Michelin rated Terrapin Creek Cafe is directly across the street. There's nothing better than walking to dinner - enjoying great cuisine, drinks and dessert - and not having to get in your car!

A private covered patio runs the length of the back of the house and contains the hot tub, table and chairs and a Weber barbecue. Relax in the hot tub at night and watch the fishing boats come into the harbor, and, on the 4th of July, watch the fireworks while you soak in the tub.

Also across the street is a kite shop with bins of salt water taffy, a small coffee house and a cute souvenir and apparel shop.

A short walk will take you to Porto Bodega where you can charter a fishing trip on one of the many charter boats, pick up locally caught seafood, or just explore the harbor and sample some of the best crab and clam chowder on the coast.

There are many recreational activities within a mile of the house, including golf, windsurfing, fishing, hiking, biking, kite flying, beachcombing, kayaking, bird and whale watching. Or you can explore nearby towns, such as Occidental (eat at Negri's restaurant), Freestone (Osmosis Spa is a must) and the Russian River area. Or just take a drive north on Highway 1 along the most spectacular coastline in the world. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect coastal retreat
Comfortable bungalow for a family of 3 with a teenager. Well appointed cabin with all that you need including binoculars and a telescope. Doran Regional Park nearby for spectacular birding with a connecting trail along the beach strand. Hot tub was clean and heated up nicely. If you are lucky to be there on a clear night, step outside to see the stars. Amazing! Son and husband enjoyed the streaming tv channels during evening down time. This is a cabin worth bookmarking for a return visit.

Pine View Bungalo
The house was very clean, great interior and had all you needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. It was just like home. The only complaint I have is, the outside area was dirty and needed either to be swept or blown clean with a blower. We would like to stay there again but only under the condition that the side yard for sitting and the back area with the bbq, hot tub and table be clean. Also, the bbq needs to be replaced. It would help to have instructions on how to use the TV and the bbq. t would be better to have a phone # for the property manager rather than send a message through the property website even though her response was timely.

Wonderful stay at the Pine View Bungalow in Bodega Bay
The outside is very basic, well kept and clean. Inside was a complete surprise for our two guests as they didn't have anything to do with us renting the bungalow for an informal surprise get away. By the end of our stay, we all agreed it was too short and we would all miss the Bungalow. We did nothing for 3 days and nights. It was wonderful. We did cook dinner one evening there and everything we needed was supplied. A well stocked kitchen to say the least. One of our guests used the hot tub which was extremely well kept and said it was the end of a perfect day hiking. I would highly recommend the Pine View Bungalow to anyone who is looking for a wonderful spot in Bodega Bay. We enjoyed the woods as much as the water.

Perfect Bungalow
Three friends and I stayed at the cottage for a three day weekend. The minute we opened the door, we knew we had hit the jackpot. The cottage is adorable. The decor beautiful and beachy! Everything you could possibly need is provided. The weather was perfect. My friends were escaping the heat of the Sacramento Valley. Gorgeous setting, views of the bay. The perfect weekend. We will definitely go back!

Girls’ annual summer trip
The house was perfect. Cozy, comfortable, and convenient to beaches, shopping and eating. We went to 3 beaches, drove to Occidental, the town of Bodega and Duncan Mills. The house itself had games, a view of nature with deer and easy to use kitchen. The only thing it didn’t have was a Keurig coffee pot, just a regular one. It was quiet, even though it was right off highway 1. We enjoyed the evenings in the hot tub.

Would definitely book again
I had read reviews from people who had stayed at this property more than once and now I understand! It is an ideal situation - in the heart of Bodega Bay, near everything you need, while being in an idyllic beach and farmland region. The area is so beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the many country roads on bicycles, ending up in Sebastopol, Freestone, and Occidental. It is also a short drive to Jenner and Duncans Mills. The property itself was super clean and tidy and everything worked perfectly. As frequent property renters, we were very impressed by the supplies and cookware available in the kitchen. We ate every meal except one in the house. For one dinner out, we went to Fishetarian, which we would highly recommend. Our chihuahua was in heaven in the backyard, exploring the "wild" while protected in a fully enclosed space. The living room was so comfortable and the bedrooms were fantastic. The hot tub was a highlight. We sat in it in the sunshine and in the rain and enjoyed it every time, staring at the view of the water and the trees overhead. Highly recommend.

This is our 2nd time staying at this property. Unfortunately our stay was cut short because of a storm that knocked out power throughout most of NorCal. The owners checked in our us and even brought us a generator to use if we decided to stay. We always enjoy our stay here, good or bad weather and intend to return. Property is well maintained and very well furnished.

Very clean and supplied with everything you’d ever need.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Mills

Host profile image
Siblings Robert and Rebecca Mills, along with their spouses Diana and Kevin Dougherty, are co-owners of the Pine View Bungalow and Cottage. Robert spent many years as a custom home builder, and used his skills to completely remodel both houses. Diana went to school to fulfill her dream and passion for landscape design. She has an innate ability for knowing which plants to use in which location and continues to put her design ideas into practice at the property. Kevin has been coming to Bodega since he was eight, and he and Becky spent their honeymoon here. They retired from civil service after more than 30 years, and currently live in Fair Oaks, California. Becky likes all things craft, and Kevin is an avid chef and gardener.

Why they chose this property

In 2010, Robert and Diana and Becky and Kevin had the wild idea to buy a little 'fixer' house somewhere in the Russian River area, where Diana's family has owned property for over 100 years. After looking at a lot of homes and making offers without success (our realtor almost gave up on us!) Robert and Diana drove to Bodega Bay in the pouring rain to look at a house that was just listed. To make a long story short, they knew the little house at the end of town was 'the one'. Money inherited from our cherished mother, Elizabeth Mills, allowed us to purchase the property in 2010. A simple remodel it was not. We ended up having to tear most of the house down to the foundation. It was rebuilt with the skills, knowledge, imagination and hard work of our own private contractor (Robert!). The result is a darling house with beautiful finishes that feels much larger than it's actual square footage. Robert then used his skills to remodel a little garage on the property that we now call the Pine View Cottage. It has the same nice finishes and shows the attention to detail that went into it's remodel. It is listed separately on VRBO and can be rented alone or as an overflow to the Bungalow. Because it was raining the first time Robert and Diana saw the property, they didn't even realize there was a view until after we'd made our offer and went back to see it for a more careful inspection. Were we excited when we discovered that we could see not only Bodega Harbor but Bodega Head and the Pacific Ocean right from the window. What a bonus. None of us ever dreamed we'd be able to have a house in Bodega Bay. But since we've been here, we've discovered more and more things that Bodega Bay and the surrounding area have to offer. We love every minute we get to spend in Bodega Bay and our little home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The Pine View Bungalow sits at the north end of town and its extra large lot provides a real sense of privacy. It is the last house in the row of houses and is surrounded by undeveloped property on the east and north sides. The Pine View Cottage (a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom with kitchen, hot tub) shares the double lot with the Bungalow but both are completely separate and private. Because the house sits at the very back of the lot there is ample space for parking cars and recreational vehicles in front. We also love the location for its proximity to one of the best restaurants in the area, Terrapin Creek Cafe.
