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 with a private Sauna 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.

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.

Surfer’s Cottage

We loved our stay in this comfortable, bright and airy cottage. Fantastic view of Bodega Bay from the front windows, and a pretty little garden and patio in the back. Kitchen is well equipped and spacious, beds are comfy. WiFi is good. It felt like home here.

Great property, less great property management co. Lovely location and nicely set up space. Unfortunately it took three follow-ups on our end with the property management co to finally swap out the non-working coffee maker for a working one on day three of the trip. Fenced back yard was great for our dog, but beware the skunk that seems to live there! Saw it multiple times in the nights so we were quite wary about letting our dog out in the evenings as dealing with a skunked dog would have been such a terrible thing in a vacation rental!

Great weekend getaway place

Great little place to stay for a weekend or a week. Great location off the harbor with big windows and scenic views…it’s the harbor, hwy 1 and then the cottage, but traffic noise was almost non existent. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in and the living area was very cozy. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms roomy. Other things, good Wi-Fi, large tv and secluded outdoor seating

Bodega getaway

2nd time at this vrbo and it definitely did not disappoint. Check in easy, quiet walkable neighborhood and easy access to restaurants nearby. Check in has always been easy and the home was just as beautiful as we remembered it. Clean, has all the amenities, beautiful garden area and amazing views of the water. Kitchen is fully stocked and love that the home is dog friendly. Tastefully decorated and has everything needed for a few days of rest and relaxation. The convenience store is just around the corner if you forget anything and there’s plenty of seafood options off the main strip if you want to enjoy the food that bodega has to offer. Local flea market on Saturday and farmers market on Sundays. Will definitely return a third time. Thanks to the owner!

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.

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.
