Bodega Bay Waterfront Retreat – Tides, Views & Coastal Charm

The Space

Wake up on the edge of Bodega Bay, where the tides ebb and flow just beyond your windows. This waterfront retreat offers ever-changing views—sparkling water, coastal wildlife, and colorful sunsets—right from your private deck. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and cozy spaces designed for comfort, it’s the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Spend your days kayaking the bay, strolling to local beaches, or exploring Sonoma’s world-class wine country, all within easy reach.

Living Room

Relax into coastal comfort with panoramic bay views framed by large windows. The wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance—perfect after a day of beachcombing or wine tasting. Curl up with a book, enjoy a movie night on our new 65" TV, or simply watch the tide roll in.

Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a joy, from quick breakfasts before heading out to fresh seafood dinners at home. A bay-view dining area invites you to linger over meals while watching the changing light on the water.

Bedrooms

Primary Suite (King Bed): Wake up to sweeping water views and step out to the deck to catch the first light dancing on the tides.

Second Bedroom (Queen Bed): Bright and comfortable, with fresh linens and easy access to the second full bathroom.

Both bedrooms are designed for restful sleep, so you can recharge for your next coastal adventure.

Outdoor Space

Step outside onto your private deck perched above the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee with seabirds for company, fire up the charcoal BBQ for dinner al fresco, or unwind under a star-filled sky as the tide flows in and out.

Highlights

Direct waterfront setting on Bodega Bay’s tidal waters

Expansive deck with outdoor seating & BBQ

Cozy wood-burning fireplace for cool coastal nights

Close to Bodega Harbor, fantastic restaurants and nearby beaches

Wildlife viewing: seabirds, seals, and seasonal whale sightings

Washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, and parking included

Our home is a QUIET, peaceful home directly on the shore of Bodega Bay. The only sounds, noise we want our guests to remember are those of Bodega tides rolling in and out, birds, seals, otters and the fog horn and ocean waves crashing in the distance. Please be respectful to our neighbors and other guests. This is NOT a place to come and have a loud party. Please do not book with us if you are looking for a "party house".

Pet friendly retreat in Bodega Bay!

If you like to relax with your pup, this is the place for you! The sweet looks over the bay and is a great place to enjoy watching the boats. Leave the harbor! It’s a really cool historic building and we really enjoyed having access down to the water!

We really enjoyed this property. It is unique - over the water just as advertised. The market is practically next door. We loved watching the birds and the boats in the harbor. It was very relaxing and well supplied for our needs. Our dogs also loved it. The only thing for the dogs is that there isn't a good place around the property for them to do their business...it was a little bit of a haul to go up the street to the nearby neighborhood (also many skunk sitings). But other than that (and some nearby construction, not the owners' fault) it was perfect.

Great Waterfront location

The place was exactly as described through the pictures and comments. Comfortable with great bay views (right on the bay). Good communication, easy check in, tricky driveway. Expensive, but my wife and I and our adult daughter really enjoyed the place! Glad we stayed here!

New Years Visit

Great property right on the water. Amazing sunsets and wildlife right off the deck. The unit could have been a little better marked, otherwise the directions to the property were spot on. Lots to explore in the area for families. We really enjoyed salmon creek beach. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home and location

Loved sitting on the deck, which is right over the water, watching all the wildlife in and around the water. We felt very at home the minute we walked in. It's minutes from so many beaches and places to explore. Steve and Krista are wonderful host and are always available if you have questions. As many have said the driveway is a little tricky to maneuver but if you follow the instructions exactly as worded you will have no problem. Would definitely stay again!

Great location

Gorgeous location on the water, with a little private deck to access the water. We brought our kayak and has lots of fun. The house is a bit on the smaller side (e.g. no closets in the bedrooms) but was comfortable. The convenience store nearby is great and super useful when you forgot something. Would stay again.

Peaceful on the bay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bodega Bay. The moment you walk into the property you are met with a view of the bay through the floor to ceiling windows over the deck. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the deck watching the kayakers and wildlife. We will definitely go back.
