About this property

COZY...Dog-Friendly...BUNGALOW—Perfect for Couples!!!

BAYSIDE BUNGALOW is the perfect place for active singles, young or retired couples, or a small family who wants to be conveniently located near the WATER in Sonoma County's WINE Country . ESPECIALLY great for those who love SEAFOOD, wine-tasting and watersports: SURFING, BOATING, FISHING, KAYAKING, WIND-SURFING, PADDLE-BOARDING, KITE-FLYING, CLAM-DIGGING, HORSEBACK RIDING....AND, other activities! Or...just relax with a glass of Sonoma County WINE while you listen to the sound of the fog horn and waves breaking at Doran Park.

ACTIVITIES GALORE: Great restaurants, wine-tasting and shops within walking distance (go crabbing/fishing on a charter or rent a kayak). Just walk out the front door of the Bungalow and in two minutes--reach the bay where you can get into your kayak and paddle around the bay to watch the sea lions, otters and many, many, many bird species. Or, rent a horse and go on a trail ride through the cypress trees and sand dunes and gallop on the beach. Or, go to the town of Bodega and see the "schoolhouse" and church where Alfred Hitchcock filmed scenes shown in "The Birds" movie.

Doggie owners can romp at the newly created, off-leash dog-park beach at Doran Park, or head up to Goat Rock and Blind beach (off-leash) for a long walk, followed by a picnic with a bottle of great wine and crab sandwiches.

Bayside Bungalow is a cozy 1 bedroom duplex perfect for a single, couple or parents with small children. The bedroom has a queen-sized memory-foam and there are folding sleeping mats for the children. There's a combined living room/kitchen fully equipped with DIRECTV in the front room and bedroom (with HBO, SHOWTIME, etc.,). Oh, and you'll notice lots of original oil and watercolor paintings on the walls done by the owner and friends (they're for sale...).

Since COVID-19 began impacting all of us, we have taken precautions, so please be assured that the Bungalow is thoroughly cleaned, with all bedding, linens and surfaces disinfected between guests.

(Note: Due to the hike in the cost of living, we are discounting our daily rate to make your little getaway more affordable.)

Conveniently Located
Pamela greeted us and gave us the keys. If we had questions, she was very quick to respond. The home had everything we needed for a great get-away. Great beaches, hiking trails and great restaurants within a short distance. We will be back. The home is dog friendly and Otis loved his treats! Thank you, Pamela, for making everything so easy to get away.

It was advertised as an ocean view, which it is not.
Somewhat cramped, but ok. The thing is, it was advertised with an ocean view, which was what we were after -- 4 or 5 days of relaxation, reading and writing, looking at the sea. It's nothing like this. We left after 2 days, though we paid for 5 or maybe more. Pamela admitted we were right about the misunderstanding (the symbol for ocean view) and promised us a small refund, which we never received.

Great stay - Perfect Location
Everything went great. The location is very convenient for hiking and restaurants. Everything is a short drivee away. Pamela was very helpful and allowed us to come in earlier than the check in time. She had wonderful suggestions for restaurants and hikes in the area. The bed was very comfortable and the location was very quiet. The kitchen had all that we needed including a nice supply of spices. We had excellent meals at the following:Fisheterian - Lunch - We had the fish tacos and choppino - both were excellent particularly the tacos.Rocker Oysterfellers - Dinner - Flat iron steak and the shrimp and grits. Both meals were excellent. The service was excellent as well.Cafe Aquatica (Jenner) - Lunch and Breakfast - We Smoked salmon salad and Rainbow sandwich. One of the best lunches we have ever had. Very fresh and filling - they focu on organic and it is a great place for someone who is vegan. It was so good we went back for breakfast. We hope to stay hear again the next time we visit Bodega Bay.

Lovely stay!
the bungalow is charming and cozy and very well appointed. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard and we all enjoyed our short walks to the water’s edge and harbor. Pamela was a gracious host with good recommendations for restaurants in Bodega Bay. We will be returning in the near future. Johanna

The perfect getaway!
Rented the bungalow for a 4-day getaway to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. It was the perfect place for the two of us. It is located close to great restaurants, beaches and parks, which suited us well. Spent most of our time hiking, kayaking and, at night, star gazing. Pamela was the perfect hostess and made sure we always had what we needed. I highly recommend the bungalow for anyone wanting to explore beautiful Bodega Bay!

Traveling with your dog
If you travel with your dog, this is a great place to stay, especially since there is a small fenced yard. Cute, cozy bungalow, fully updated. Small kitchen with large fridge. We didn't cook but it was nice to have the fridge for drinks and leftovers. Everything you need is there. Bed is very comfy. Great shower. Town is just a couple of minutes up the road. We didn't walk because there are no sidewalks and we don't like to walk that close to the road. Pamela is a great hostess and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Clean, Comfortable, Friendly Host, Great Location!
The bungalow was well kept and comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful. The location was perfectly central to all Bodega Bay has to offer. My wife and I were looking for an easy 3 night getaway with our 2 small chihuahuas and this was perfect. The host even included dog bowls, dog treats, an easy spot to take the dogs out and a supply of dog waste bags. The house is well kept and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Wallace

Host profile image
We are native Californians who migrated from San Francisco to Sonoma County in the 60's.

Why they chose this property

It has always been a dream of ours to have a home on the coast (there's only so much property on the coast and there won't be any more added, so....). We wanted a home close to the water that we could live in when we retire; but until that time, we are happy to share it with other water lovers!

What makes this property unique

Steps from the bay, accessible fishing charters, kayak and horse rentals, hiking trails, and walking distance to 8 local restaurants and eateries. ALL that--and the sound of the foghorn and seals barking--makes the Bayside Bungalow the perfect place for weekend get-away. It's just a great, dog-friendly, cozy place to eat great food, drink great wine, and relax...relax...relax!
