My husband Mike and I were very lucky to purchase our beautiful Ocean Front home. We live in Sebastopol, just 20 minutes from the beach. Making it very easy to manage for our guests and use ourselves with family & friends!

EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION, GREAT FAMILY RETREAT, GRACIOUS HOSTS
Guest: Bob

Date of Stay: 02/02/12
Review Submitted: 02/07/12
My stay at Casa Bella was truly magical. I had high expectations from the web portrayal but they were exceeded by a property that is uniquely situated to maximize enjoyment at the beach. Views of the crashing waves and the beach and ocean were available throughout the house. We were entertained by a great selection of movies, music and books. Being the foodies we are we fixed gourmet meals in a well outfitted kitchen and dining area. We were able to walk out the back door and be on the beach in seconds! Mia was a great hostess who was attentive to our needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEDED.

Our family gathered for the holidays and Casa Bella was the perfect set-up - amazing ocean views directly from the house, comfortable floorplan with ample space and privacy for three couples, and a great location to use as a launching pad for day trips around the northern California coast and wine country. And the owner was very responsive and accommodating in the process.

Christmas at Casa Bella

This beach house is beautiful and the location is perfect. No neighbors to one side since it is at the end of the street and so quiet. Portuguese Beach is right across the street and the sound of waves crashing on the shore is a perfect way to end the day, as they can be heard from the house. The owners are very quick to respond to any correspondence and are super friendly. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice getaway. It is also a great spot to call base as you explore other areas that are within driving distance. We went to Armstrong Redwoods and Guerneville as well as a short drive up to Jenner.

A wonderful property to experience the N. California Pacific Ocean. It offers all you need to relax, wander the beaches and explore the rocks. If you want something to do besides those activities this "ain't it". Enjoy a great experience in a great environment.

Just finished a ladies weekend getaway with my high school friends (we have known each other for over 25 years). Casa Bella was perfect in every way. The location just can't be beat. The home overlooks the ocean, and is just steps away from Portuguese beach. October weather was just fantastic-80 degrees during the day and nice and cool in the evening. Every room in the house had an ocean view. I can't wait to return with my family!

Casa Bella was a wonderful rental. The house is set up for a family looking to relax and is walking distance to the beach. At night you can listen to the ocean sounds from the living room and bedrooms. We BBQ'd and played with the dogs in the backyard and enjoyed our time there. Thanks again!

VIsited Mia and Mike's Casa Bella prior to daughter getting married in Napa. The house and accomodations were wonderful and the views are breathtaking. Mia and Mike were so helpful during our stay providing points of interest and great places to dine. River's End was fantastic. We took day trips around the area to see the coastline and the redwoods and had some great wines. We will return some day.

This was our first trip to Bodega Bay and the northern Californian coast and we will be returning. We loved our week here and did not want to come home! Amazing coastline and Casa Bella is such a great place to explore from. The views from the house are amazing and just sitting watching the sea and sun sets was so restful and beautiful. The property is extremely well equipped inside and out, the master bedroom has wonderful views and we enjoyed having a bathroom each! The kids enjoyed the "TV space" with comfortable sofas and a huge TV to chill out in front of. The huge range of kitchen equipment allowed us to buy local food and cook ourselves - we would recommend the Trout Farm where you can catch your supper which was great fun! The house is clearly well cared for, extremely well presented and about as well equipped as any rental property I have come across. Would not hesitate to highly recommend.

Casa Bella was a wonderful vacation spot. We enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching the ocean and sunsets. We were so excited to see whales the third day. The home is beautiful and just as it is described. Mia is an absolute delight to work with. We can't wait to return.
