It is a lovely property with everything you need except food. As stated in the listing, the bluff above the beach is a 5 minute walk, but you will need to walk a ways down Highway one to access the stairs to the beach itself.

This is such a lovely place -- well-equipped and very comfortable. Fabulous kitchen and wonderful hot tub. Great location to explore up and down the coast. Communication with the host is top notch. Alora couldn't be more helpful and responsive. It's my fourth stay there. Truly my home away from home.

This was a great home for two families w young kids and pets to kick off summer plans! The home was situated higher on a hill so we had an unobstructed view of the ocean and the front yard wide for the kids to explore. There were plenty of toys and beach towels to explore the beach and hang out in the hot tub. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

This was the perfect home for a small family get together with 5 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is impeccably stocked and has every possible dish, utensil, cup, cooking pot, etc., that we needed. The views were also insane, we saw several whale spouts on our first night there. Beds are comfortable and there are lots of pillows. The hot tub is clean and hot!! My family and I would absolutely return to this property.

Our Favorite Beach House!

We love this beach house and have visited a few times! It has panoramic ocean views and it is fully stocked with everything you need! Great location and it’s just a short walk to Portuguese Beach! The neighborhood is quiet and sometimes you wake up to the sight of deer grazing, turkeys, and a few bunnies hoping around. The owners are super nice and accommodating! We love it there!

Great house & location!

The house was in a great location and had beautiful views of the surrounding hills and ocean from every room. We especially enjoyed the decks that you could sit on and were blocked from the wind, the hot tub, and morning turkeys in the fields. It was nice being able to bring our dogs and walk down to the beach with them. The house is FULLY stocked and nicely labeled so you know where everything is. We would definitely come back!

Summer Vacation 2023

My family of 4 plus my mom stayed here for 12 nights and enjoyed it very much! The location can't be beat and the views were stunning. The home was very comfortable and was the most well stocked home we've ever stayed in - it had anything and everything you'd need (from paper products to kitchen utensils and appliances to laundry detergent). The full size washer and dryer were a huge (unexpected) plus. There were regular visits from a deer family , jack rabbits and local birds. We would be happy to come back!

My third year in a row and it never disappoints. The BeachHouse has everything you could hope for and it's truly become my home away from home. The pictures on the website barely do it justice. Check-in is a breeze and the host has labels everywhere anticipating your every question. But if you have one, the host is very responsive and helpful. The kitchen is a dream to cook in when you're not out getting seafood. The location in a friendly neighborhood is the perfect spot to explore up or down the coast. The UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory is a must see with public tours available on Fridays. Two weeks never seems long enough!

Amazing house and ocean views

This beach house was so cute and cozy! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable! The ocean views were incredible and we could walk to the beach which was also dog friendly. The house was very attractively decorated in a beachy theme and had the most well stocked kitchen of any rental we have ever stayed in. Just about any type of utensil you might need to prepare meals was available. We really enjoyed the outside spaces and especially the hot tub which felt great after a day of hiking the many trails and beaches in the area. We even saw deer in the yard every day. This was a great place to relax and hang out. The location was beautiful and we would definitely stay here again if we travel to the area in the future.

Perfect location to explore the entire area

Our second year in a row, and it was equally delightful. The house is located within an easy drive of the beaches south of Jenner, and still a quick drive to Bodega Head and Harbor. The house is equipped with all the comforts of home and then some. The beach decor and wonderful furniture Was a treat. The kitchen was well stocked with every imaginable small appliance for those times when we didn’t head out for some fresh seafood. Views are amazing, and we enjoyed observing the wildlife from the front deck, including a bobcat. We had a mixture of fog, sun, and wind throughout our stay, but there was always plenty to do and a hot spa awaiting us at the house. Alora was very responsive to our questions and concerns. We certainly hope to be back.

Bodega Versatility

We chose this home to stay in for an entire month. This is the first time we have ever done such a thing and we don't regret it. We docked our boat nearby and spent the month exploring and fishing for salmon. It was the perfect place. Close to the beach close to the harbor and close to many towns that we enjoyed visiting. The property was well provisioned and perfect for our needs. This would be a perfect place for two couples who have kids. The upstairs loft bedroom has no door, but it is clearly laid out for kids. It worked fine for adults too! The hot tub was wonderful the views were incredible. We saw so much wildlife that was an unexpected treat.

This is the first month long rental we have experienced and it was a positive one. You responded to communication promptly during your stay. I rated you 5 stars for all review points even though not all transmitted on my initial review so I want to correct here since I was unable to change after initial submittal for some reason. We hope you will consider a future visit.

Perfect in every way

Our stay was actually better than expected. The home was charming in every way with beach decor throughout. The kitchen was fully stocked and was a delight to cook in which we did often. All the amenities of home made you forget you didn’t live there. You might need to get a little creative with bathroom room use if you have more than four adults as one bathroom was in the master bedroom down a hall. The location was great for heading to the Bay or exploring north to Jenner. The views of the ocean were stunning and soaking in the hot tub while watching the sun set and the stars come out was a treat. The control panel on the hot tub needed to be replaced but that was taken care of a few days later. Understandably, as a rental, there was no curbside recycling and we brought it home instead of throwing it in trash. All in all, one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and would love to visit again.

About the host

Host profile image

We are the Lipsmeyer family and we could not be more thrilled about our newest addition to the family The La Dia Beach House. This home was purchased by Larry, Alora, Dave, Darren and Kristen Lipsmeyer for a family get away and also to share with others.

Why they chose this property

Bodega Bay has been a family favorite to visit for years and we were so excited when the opportunity was presented to us to purchase this home!

What makes this property unique

This home offers 180 degree BREATHTAKING ocean views! We also like that it sits on a large lot and on a court only 5 min walking distance to the beach.
