* The house is well-laid out with vaulted ceilings in all rooms, beautiful wood molding, skylights and tall picture windows. There are 2 beach access trails off of Gull Drive so you are literally minutes from the water.

Layout of House: All bedrooms/kitchen/bathrooms/dining room are located on the main-level. The living room is on the upper level-up about 6 carpeted steps with a railing.

There are 2 low-level cement steps and 2 wooden steps prior to front door. As you enter the front door on the main floor the Master Bedroom is to your right & sits facing the front of the home with ocean views from all its windows.

MASTER BDRM/BATH: Lrg room with a King size bed, HDTV/Cable/DVD. There is also ensuite full bath with double vanity/toilet closet in this room. Room is large with a trundle bed in it as well (2-twins...great for kids). The beds have reading lamps for all guests.

DINING TABLE/KITCHEN: The kitchen is fully-equipped and the dining table sits next to it and seats 6-8 guests. We keep the pantry stocked with various seasonings, teas, coffee, foil, saran wrap...etc. There are two decks off these rooms. A deck to the back facing the golf course with 5-Adirondack chairs and an enclosed deck to the side with the HOT TUB, propane barbecue & lounge chair. The hot-tub deck is enclosed with a 4.5 foot fence with a barked in area behind it.

BDRMS #2 & #3: Located back wing of home affording privacy from Mstr. Both these rooms are spacious with vaulted ceilings, Queen beds/TV/DVD. Both have reading lamps for all guests.

All King and Queen beds have memory foam Pure Comfort Mattress Topper's on them making for a comfortable night's sleep. The 2nd full bath is along this same hallway and houses the laundry closet (washer/dryer). These back rooms have a view of the golf course.

Beach items: Beach blankets, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, ice chests, sand toys located in garage. We even keep a beach pass for families wanting to drive to the County Beach at Doran entrance with all their 'stuff' saving you the $7 parking fee.

What do we/guests love most about the home? The house has a very open uncluttered feel with all the sunlight from skylights/windows and vaulted ceilings. Love being able to walk out the front door and hit the beach in 5 min. The Master Bdrm in the front and the Guests Bdrms in the back wing of the home give a measure of privacy to couples/families with kids. We clean the home ourselves so know it's clean, functioning and is always well stocked with soap/paper products/supplies. Extra pillows/blankets in all rooms. We also own/run Acrat Plumbing, Heating & Electrical. Handy when you rent out vacation homes and need immediate assistance.

Bodega Bay house rental
The property was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with quality items. The views of the ocean from the living room along with the fireplace create a very relaxing environment. The beach is a short walk fromthe house and there a variety of beach items (chairs, ice chests, etc) to use if you wanted. The hot tub is easy to use and was very clean.

Absolutely wonderful stay
We just finished a 5 day stay.As soon as we walked in the front door we could see that the entire house was sparkling and smelled fresh and clean. We did not travel with a pet but we could not tell that the house was pet-friendly and in fact my wife has asthma and has had issues with several pet-friendly houses in the past but she had no issues during or after our stay.The house was very spacious and comfortable and after long days of sight-seeing we enjoyed relaxing in the living room and watching the sunset.The kitchen had everything anyone could need to cook up gourmet meals. We brought back fresh sourdough from the bakery in Tomales, fresh oysters and live crabs and cooked them up on the very nice grill and boiled the live crabs and had a seafood feast every meal along with wine from the local winery.After dinner we relaxed in the private hot-tub before turning in and doing it all over again!Debbie was great to work with and we had such a great stay we cannot wait to return!

Weekend getaway to celebrate the new year
We travelled with my son, his wife and toddler (1 1/2 year old). The home is clean and as described. It also had a high chair and was quite toddler proof. We had a wonderful stay and went out for seafood each afternoon and evening in town. Very pleasant stay and we hope to be back soon

Bogega Bay Father's Day
This property was perfect for our annual Father's Day trip for me and my 3 adult children. A short walk to the beach, short drive into town and access to golf, and window views to try to catch a whale or 2 in the bay, and afternoon cocktails in the hot tub. The house had everything we needed for an extended weekend trip.

AMAZING Bodega Bay Beach House
My friends and I spent a week at this magnificent, clean, and comfortable home. The view of the ocean from the big living room windows was breathtaking. The view of the golf course grass and the lovely back yard flowers from the kitchen was enjoyable as we were able to watch deer grazing, California quail, hummingbirds drinking nectar from the flowers, and a bobcat. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen/pantry were well stocked. We definitely hope to return to this house someday. Thank you, Debbie, for your professional hosting skills.

Amazing Stay *Highly Recommended*
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our dogs. The place was very clean, comfortable and for people that love to cook the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The outside patio looking out to the golf course was perfect for us and our pups with the small grass area. It also attracts a lot of wildlife such as deer, quail etc. The location was only a short walk down to the beach which is perfect for a family with dogs or small children. Debbie (host) was very responsive and helpful. We look forward to staying here again in the near future.

Beach Therapy
My sister and I grew up in CA but moved away in the early1990s, so we jump at the chance to get back and especially to be close to the beach. This property was perfect. We spent almost all our time upstairs in the Living Area with the beautiful view of the water. We had mostly foggy mornings and evenings, but we did get one night with a spectacular sunset. The home had everything we needed and we loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Dave Tarca

Host profile image
I'm Debbie and my husband Dave is a Plumbing/Heating/Electrical contractor and runs his own business Acrat Plumbing/Heating & Electrical (handy when you run vacation rentals). I run Bodega Bay Rentals, LLC. We own Gull Harbour & Pacific View.

Both college grads (Dave SSU Business/Debbie Pacific Union Nursing). We are active in our kids lives (college/hs). We've owned & managed commercial & residential property in Sonoma Cnty for 25+ yrs and have rented our homes in Bodega Bay since 2001. When not working we enjoy being outside working our ranch, hiking or playing at the beach. We've hiked Half Dome the past several years and have a slew of Spartan, marathons & triathlon's under our belts. If you see me around the harbour, it's usually with one of my furry friends enjoying this beautiful area! If you LOVE hiking...this is a great area...ASK ME!

Our goal...YOU have a seamless vacation in a home that runs top to bottom. We clean/prep so have hopefully headed off any unwanted issues. We are local and available 24/7 to help at any time...even if just a texted question. Dave as a plumbing/electrical contractor....If an issue pops up...we respond asap. Our homes are self entry and guests given door code so entry at your leisure. Lots of extras. Questions don't hesitate to ask.

Why they chose this property

Gull Drive is the closest road to the Beach with two beach trails. We wanted a home as close to water as possible. Great views and an easy walk to beach and clubhouse.

What makes this property unique

Doran Beach is a wonderful location to enjoy with children; Armstrong Woods with its majestic redwood trees; Hwy 1 is a beautiful scenic Drive; the restaurants in the Bodega Bay area are fabulous!; Close drive to everything but far enough to feel like you are away from everything!

As a family that travels we so appreciate when owners have pre-stocked THEIR homes well. I like to think we've done the same. A fully stocked kitchen with foil/ziplocks...dishes/pots & pans that are in GOOD shape...wine/bar glasses...seasonings; family supplies that include games, baby gear, beach supplies.... A home that functions and is clean is what I look for in a home. A hot tub that sparkles and works is a MUST. These are things we look for in homes we rent and wish for the same in our own.
