Surfer's Paradise

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

Newly updated in impeccable modern style, this home in Bodega Bay is a true surfer's paradise, offering beautiful views of Bodega Harbor from its large picture windows. The property, owned and meticulously decorated by avid surfers, is ideally situated across the road from the bay and within walking distance of the town's many shops and restaurants. Amenities like central heat will keep everyone comfortable. At this bungalow, you'll spend your days surfing, beachcombing, and fishing, and come home to a light-filled living space, a wood-burning stove, and an enclosed garden where you can relax, light the grill, and talk about the day's adventures.

What’s nearby:
Surfer's Paradise is located in the heart of beautiful Bodega Bay, just a short stroll from shops, local seafood restaurants, recreational outfitters, and an assortment of art galleries. You can easily go hiking on the Coastal Prairie Trail (one mile north) and have a picnic under the trees; there's even a wheelchair-friendly path with a lovely view of the coastal prairie. Golfers can tee off at the Links at Bodega Harbour (two miles south), a challenging Scottish-style course with spectacular ocean views, as the surfers in your group head to North and South Salmon Creek Beaches (two miles north), both of which are popular with the local surfing community.

Great Coastal Cottage Rental

Newly renovated with an en suite bath for each BR. Great harbor views, well outfitted kitchen, would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous views of Bodega Bay from three large window in living areas. Missed having a microwave. Otherwise, kitchen well-equipped. Parking tight and felt like we were intruding on the dilapidated house in front. A bit of a trek bringing suitcases and supplies in from the back alley and into the backyard to the back of the house. Beds were comfortable and the houses was well-suited for our two children and two small dogs.

Amazing 4 person Waterfront Bungalow

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.

One of our favorite rentals now at the beach. Easy to get to Doran Beach for their leash free park. And, a good kitchen with plenty of room for our food.

Bay Views!

Amazing views of the bay from the expansive windows. Nicely updated - very open feeling and fixtures & appliances worked well. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking. Short walk to two small markets and some very good restaurants.

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.

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.
