Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1972
My mother and father purchased this house in 1972. Since then, my family has stayed there many times. We live within a hour of the house so it was nice to have weekend get-a-ways.
Why the Owner Chose Bodega Bay
We chose to buy this vacation rental because it is walking distance from the water. It also has its own private driveway where multiple families could park for the weekend. It sleeps up to 8 people so we would have our family reunions and other large gatherings there without feeling cramped.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our property is unique because it is equipped with large bay windows that have a wonderful view of the ocean. While cooking breakfast or dinner in the kitchen you can witness the spectacular sunsets. There is also a patio and patio furniture with an enclosed deck for viewing the ocean.

By The Sea was a wonderful place to stay while in Bodega Bay. My husband and I stayed here over the Christmas holidays, and it was just delightful. The home was clean and tidy and had been decorated for Christmas. It had all the amenities one could hope for. I told the owner I was making prime rib for Christmas dinner, and she went out and bought a new roasting pan! There are 3 separate decks, two of which have sweeping views of the beach and ocean. I found this home to be charming, comfortable and am most definitely planning on going back again. The owner, Susie, is very personable and pleasant to deal with, and she made sure we felt very welcome in her beautiful beach home.

Hi Susie! I would rate our stay as Very Good. First of all I must applaud you on the amazing transformation of the cabin! The beds were SO comfortable and the upgrades throughout much appreciated. I must say the addition of and expansion to the decks were awesome. We had glorious sunny weather all weekend and the deck got a lot of use! We walked Salmon Creek beach multiple times each day and saw the most spectacular sunsets, especially the one on the last day of the year. Your special welcoming touches of champagne and snacks upon arrival was the talk of the day when we got there. Very nice of you!! Thanks again, from all 10 of us!

In November I took my family for what will be the beginning of an annual holiday tradition -- a family vacation at the beach house "By the Sea". It was our first time staying at this house and it turned out to be one of the best experiences ever. The home is so clean, comfortable, and provides all the necessities of home. The layout of the home is amazing -- the ocean views from the living room/kitchen are breathtaking. Everything from the beds (which are the most comfortable) to the big fluffly bath towels, made our stay really special. Susie even welcomed us by leaving a bottle of Chardonnay and a pumpkin cheesecake in the refrigerator -- what wonderful finishing touches to a great stay. The house is located in a wonderful location, only a really short walk to the beach. Not only is the inside of the home great, but the two semi-enclosed patios provides extra space for people to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. Susie and her husband were so friendly and accommodating to our needs. We will definitely be returning to the house. I'm already thinking of a girl's getaway weekend -- the big dining room table is great for playing games, eating great meals and possibly some scrapbooking!

All my friends and I loved this house so much, that I don,t want to let this secret gold mine out of the hat! We are definitely planning to go again, and enjoy even more glorious days. We have never found such amazing views of Salmon Creek beach, as most of the rentals look out at the dunes. But this house was stunning in every way. The amenities, the rooms, but the view-well it was the best part for sure! The owners were so considerate and inviting-they even bought us a bottle of wine to enjoy! I loved "By the Sea"!

Thanksgiving tradition

Our Thanksgiving tradition has become a stay at the beach. This year we chose "By the Sea". What a beautiful house. The owners have done a "great" job on the remodel. Don’t let your first view from the outside scare you. The "rustic" look fits in the area without being the eye sore that some houses are. The inside is totally remodeled. This house is designed so that you can isolate yourself if needed, yet wherever you are you have a fantastic view of the ocean. When you decide to walk on the beach, it's a short easy walk. Susie is great to work with, very friendly and guest oriented. Our stay was FANTASTIC, I'm sure your will be too. You won’t be disappointed.

I stayed at this beautiful property found by my friend to celebrate her 50th birthday. The house was wonderful in every way. The living rooms were both cozy and elegant. The kitchen was up to date and fully stocked with all the appliances that we needed to enyoy meals and to entertain (the birthday dinner). The beds were very comfortable with nice sheets and comforters. The view was gorgeous to wake up to each morning. I found the house to be even nicer than the photos indicated. The property was extremely clean and well maintained. I would absolutely recommend this property to friends and I have already talked about returning. Extra special in getting ready for our trip was how incredibly helpful the owner was to us in providing information and answers to our questions many separate times. She also brought a cake mixer out to leave at the house for us so we could bake a birthday cake for this special occasion. In terms of location, this house was wonderful. It was a short walk out to a magnificent beach; either over the dunes or by the creek. The house is located in a very picturesque beachy neighborhood; I enjoyed my walks every morning. It is about a ten minute drive into the village of Bodega Bay where we bought groceries and went out to dinner one night at Lucas Wharf for great seafood. It would be hard to go wrong with this house; it was a joy to stay in for the days we were there.

We live less than an hour away from "By the Sea" and picked it because it is by our favorite beach in this area. It was a great choice. The owners were awesome to work with and the house was perfectly presented with nice touches. The layout was great with an excellent view out the front. We had a blast climbing the sand dunes and spending time on the beach. I recommend this as a great family getaway.

Its a paradise! It was our first stay at Bodega Bay house By The Sea and we loved it.The views are breathtaking out the window - its peaseful and quiet, my two kids enjoyed sand and the ocean, me and my husband enjoyed the sunsets,every morning we went for walk on the beach looking for shells and sand dollars.The house was clean and perfect for our family - we had everything we need and more.My husband and kids definetly enjoyed comcast and all the chanels on TV, cookies and vine made us feel very welcome at the house By The Sea and a nice little treat after a long travel day.We went to see Armstrong Red Woods - amazing place, only about 40 min drive, also San Francisko about 1 hour 20 min. We went to Santa Rosa - stopped at Bolletto vinery, but it was great to come back the the house( instead of a hotel ) and enjoy the deck and the sound of the ocean. Thanks to Susan for our great stay and all the info.We have memories that will last a lifetime. Family from Chicago

"By The Sea" with my family

Five of us stayed at "By The Sea" for 3 days during May, 2011. There were 4 beds that would sleep 2 each and 2 single beds in 4 separate bedrooms. The entire home was clean and comfortable with recent remodeling, including the kitchen area. There were two inviting areas to sit and talk, read, watch TV, listen to your IPOD, or warm up by a fire. The deck with the wind screens was very comfortable, especially in the late afternoons. The beach is a pleasant 5 minute walk from the house. We had a small child with us and he greatly enjoyed having the river access right there as well as the ocean. He could safely play at the river's edge. The sand dunes were a definate plus as well. During times when it was too windy next to the ocean, I was able to take my grandson to protected areas in the dunes and feel quite comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and the homes far enough apart that you feel you have your privacy. We all had a very enjoyable time and would definately recommend the home to anyone seeking a relaxing stay along the coast with access to long walks on the beach, sand dunes, and a gentle, meandering river.
