About this property

Bodega Retreat! Ocean View, Golf Course, Walk to Beach & Clubhouse, Dog Friendly

Summary:

“This home was very spacious for our family of 8. The view was awesome for a R&R getaway. Also very convenient to walk to the beach. We enjoyed our weekend and will come back again.” - Corissa
Welcome to your coastal retreat at Bodega Harbour, a bright and tranquil home overlooking the 14th fairway with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. With warm natural light, open gathering spaces, and inviting bedrooms, this is the perfect place to unwind, slow down, and savor the beauty of Bodega Bay.

The Space:
Bodega Retreat feels like a long exhale the moment you walk in. In this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom abode, soft coastal air drifts through the windows, sunlight fills every corner, and the scenery outside feels almost like a moving painting. Ocean, sky, rolling golf greens, and the quiet rhythm of the Bay surround the home in every direction.
The heart of the home is an airy main living area where tall windows frame the blue horizon and the wide fairway. Whether you're reading on the sofa, planning dinner, or watching the fog roll in, this space makes it easy to settle into the slower pace of the coast.
The wood-burning stove adds warmth on cooler evenings, making it a cozy spot for early morning coffee or a quiet night after exploring the town.
The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a Frigidaire refrigerator, Maytag dishwasher, Samsung microwave oven and electric range, plenty of space to cook, and everything you need for meals at home.Whether you're grilling fresh seafood, prepping snacks after golf, or enjoying wine country tastings, the setup is easy and comfortable.
Upstairs, the loft and bedroom open to elevated views that stretch across the hills and coastline. It’s a serene, inspiring part of the home, perfect for writing, relaxing, or simply soaking in the scenery. The bedrooms offer plush bedding and calm coastal tones. With one king and two queen beds, the layout works beautifully for families, couples traveling together, or small groups of friends.
The back patio is where most guests find themselves lingering in the afternoons. With lush landscaping along the fairway and an uninterrupted ocean view beyond, it’s perfect for slow mornings, golden sunset hours, or quiet moments under the open sky. And with the Weber Genesis gas grill ready to fire up, it’s an ideal spot for your group to gather, cook, and create some great memories together.
“Beautiful setting on the golf course with an ocean view. Our family really enjoyed doing a jigsaw puzzle as we watched the golfers, deer and baby quail” - Alan
Located in the sought-after Bodega Harbour community, the home offers that special mix of quiet, comfort, and convenience. You can walk to the beach or the clubhouse, stroll the neighborhood’s scenic pathways, or simply admire the natural beauty from the patio.
Bodega Bay puts some of Sonoma County’s best coastal experiences right at your fingertips. Local favorites like Spud Point Crab Company, the Bodega Head overlook, and charming shops are just a short drive away. Whale watching, beach walks, golf, coastal hikes, and wine tasting all make for easy day trips.

Important notes:

- Most of our guests love this home for its close connection to nature. Since we’re in a beautiful coastal area with lots of wildlife, it’s normal to occasionally see an insect or two that may wander in through an open door or window. While we can’t control nature, we want to assure you that the home is treated regularly by a professional pest control company to minimize any issues.

To help keep things comfortable, please wipe up spills promptly, store food in the fridge or covered containers, and clean pet food bowls after use. Leaving food out can attract ants, so keeping things tidy helps prevent that.

- We can comfortably accommodate up to 8 overnight guests and allow up to 6 additional daytime visitors, for a total of 14 people on the property. Daytime visitors are welcome between 7 AM and 10 PM.


- Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. We appreciate your help in keeping the Bodega Harbour community peaceful and being considerate of our neighbors.

- No smoking: This is a no-smoking home (including vaping). A deep-clean fee will apply if this rule is violated.

- Dogs under 50 lbs are welcome for an additional fee, but we’re unable to accommodate cats. Please note that pets are not allowed on the golf course or cart paths.

- No parties or large events allowed. This home is in a quiet residential neighborhood, and with neighbors nearby, noise carries easily. We appreciate your help in keeping the area peaceful.

- Driveway parking for up to 2 vehicles. Street parking may be available—please follow posted signs. Please note that parking of RVs, Motorhomes, Boats or Trailers are not permitted within the community.

- Fire Safety: Wood-burning stove is available for use. Please follow the safety instructions in the welcome guide and never leave fires unattended.

🔔 We work with a private security company that can be dispatched if we receive reports of excessive noise or parking violations.

🔔As is common with many homes and vacation rental properties, we have installed on-site devices for your security. These may include electronic door locks, light timers, security alarms, exterior motion sensors, outdoor facing cameras (which record whenever motion is detected including voices), smoke detection devices, and decibel meters (which do not record voices). For your privacy, we do not have any cameras inside the house. Cameras are all in plain sight and are located at the front entrance doorbell, and inside the garage. Tampering with the WiFi, mesh routers, or any of the security devices is grounds for immediate eviction with no refunds.

When you stay at Bodega Retreat, you're covered for any accidents that might happen up to $3,000. The $42 charge listed as a "management fee" on your quote covers your purchase of $3,000 of "all risk" damage protection coverage on your rental property. This protection is purchased in lieu of a security deposit. Coverage details are spelled out in the rental agreement.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Well stocked home. Very clean. Great for pets with walking across the street with sidewalk was great, awesome deer sightings daily. Beds comfortable. Lay out is a little quirky with steps and dated decor but all was well maintained and all appliances worked very well. It worked for the 3 of us and our golden. The view was magnificent and the neighborhood quiet and relaxing. Best host ever!

One of our most favorite houses we stayed in!

The Bodega Bay Retreat is probably one of our most favorite houses we stayed in. Super clean, lots of charm, great open floor plan with an awesome and super well equipped kitchen, and of course in beautiful Bodega Bay with fantastic views of the ocean and bay all day! Patricia was a phenomenal host, checking in with us to see if everything was ok, and giving us local recommendation. If we could, we’d give the Bodega Bay Retreat 10 out of 5 stars!!!

Great house on the golf course with ocean views

Fabulous Retreat

The home is very spacious and comfortable, with a great attention to detail. Lots of blankets, towels, boardgames, cooking utensils etc We loved the fact that we could watch the ocean and we saw a lot of animals and birds. The hosts are very professional and welcoming, texting over the weekend to make sure we had everything. We highly recommend this house.

We have stayed in the area before, but Bodega Retreat has been the best yet. Very nice area, the house is gorgeous inside and out, the back patio area is spacious and has a great view of the golf course and the bay. We could hear the waves crashing from the patio. Nice chairs and a big table to sit at. Had my breakfast out there every day. Anything we needed was in the house, even things we did not expect to be there. We all slept very well too. Very close to the beach, we spent time down there too. We will definitely come back to Bodega Retreat in the future. Also, great communication with Patricia and management. Thanks a bunch from the Taylor Family!!!

Beautiful House!

Very spacious house with amazing views in the perfect location. Beds were very comfortable, and plenty of space to spread out with two living room areas! Highly recommend, we would stay here again without a doubt. Hosts were also very communicative before and throughout stay. Very comprehensive guidebook and recommendations for those unfamiliar with the area.

A wonderful location in Bodega Bay

The well furnished and appointed house made a great setting for our short visit to Bodega Bay. Great views overlooking the town and the bay added to the enjoyment. Excellent communications from the management company were really helpful in all aspects of the stay. Only blemish was an interaction with a snooty neighbor.

Beautiful place to stay!

The house is always well stocked with everything you need. The back patio has an amazing view of the water and sits right on the golf course. Plenty of sleeping room and games to play. I love the large kitchen where we can visit while somebody is cooking. The nice big dining room table allows us all to sit and eat together. This is our second year booking and we will likely book again next year.

Bodega Retreat indeed

The property was great for our stay with adult children and their spouses. Plenty of room to hang out together up in the loft. There are plenty of supplies for kitchen and bathrooms. We found the house to be very clean. We enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs watching the golfers, seeing wildlife and soaking in the cooler temps while overlooking the Bay.

PERFECT Getaway!

I stay in a lot of VRBO properties, and I have to say this experience was seamless. Wonderful communication prior to check in, the property was lovely but in addition to that wonderful touches such as the guest basket (again, I see this a lot, but this one was useful!) and then gentle reminders about things via text...not annoying, simply useful. I was delighted with everything about this experience!

Family get together

We rent at BB several times a year to get the kids together for fun at the beach, hiking and golf. This home was perfect for little ones to hang out upstairs while the adults enjoy time together downstairs and food prep. This home had all needed amenities and was fully stocked with everything a renter would need. Was extremely clean and the trip was wonderful. Will definitely be back

Family holiday visit

The home was lovely. I’ve never seen such a well stocked kitchen from cookware to condiments and rooms all had extra bedding available. Only suggestion would be to label drawers. I liked having tv upstairs and not in main living room. Weather perfect for our visit so we spent time at beautiful close by beaches. The upstairs loft has a futon on the floor for the 4th bed and spaciousness would allow for sofa bed as well. Overall a great place for large group and we’d definitely stay again.

Clean, excellent communication, fun stay!

A short drive to the ocean — Wrights Beach (15 minutes), and several other areas with water access, we found ourselves very comfortable at the house. The house was very clean and well stocked. It was a shame there wasn’t an overhang of sorts to block the sun when out on the patio trying to view the ocean during the day. Right on the golf course. Communication was unparalleled. Open, friendly, incredibly thorough, super helpful …. Couldn’t have asked for more! Had a wonderful time! Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay! So peaceful. The owner has provided everything you could possibly need! This is truly home away from home! Very clean throughout. Comfortable furniture beds etc. Great lighting for cooking and reading. Excellent kitchen! Again, everything you need! Games, books and great loft area so everyone can spread out if needed. Great food and cocktails at the golf course restaurant. We saw deer and quails right from the living room window! You can hear the ocean and fog horn at night, we came home very rested and look forward to visiting again!
