Bodega Bay Fishfest Weekend

The home is absolutely beautiful. Manager was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was in order. We look forward to staying here again in the near future. You want for nothing staying here. There was a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the refrigerator with 2 chilled glasses with wrapped chocolate in each glass.

Great getaway

The house was great. I especially liked the living room with its spaciousness and nicely appointed decor. We used the kitchen only a little but it was perfect for our needs. I envy all of its cabinet space (most of it empty). The surrounding area was very quiet, something we both appreciated. It was a bit too chilly to sit out front on the deck, but I can imagine doing that on a rare warm day. All in all, we had a nice, albeit short, stay.

The birds house

The house was in a nice location over looking the bay. The wood panels and vaulted ceilings made the place feel really big. The bedrooms were nice and the kitchen fully functional. Living area was spacious and perfect for an evening movie eith the family. Icing on the cake was the hot tub. Would definetly recommend and would return again. The nearby beach is also very clean and kid friendly.

Great Weekend Getaway to Bodega Bay

The Birds is a comfortable, spacious house with nice amenities (hot tub, filtered water from the fridge, an expansive Hitchcock DVD collection). It's within walking distance to hiking trails and the beach, and the neighborhood is very peaceful. Juli, the property manager, was very communicative and responsive, and made sure we had a great stay. Would stay here again for our next weekend getaway to Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast!

Amazing stay!

What an amazing stay in Bodega Bay! The house was incredibly clean and appointed with everything needed for a great stay. The hot tub was amazing, and the proximity to the beach was perfect...just a short walk to a much less crowded portion of the beach. Loved the theme of the house, and even took a couple hours to watch "The Birds" to commemorate the stay. Would definitely recommend.

Women's Retreat

We truly enjoyed our short but memorable stay! Large, well-appointed kitchen. Spacious main room perfect for chatting and games. We loved the fireplace and the cozy blankets left on the hearth. Beds were cozy, plenty of towels. Great location for walks down to the beach and beautiful sunsets. This place would be perfect for 2 couples. The hosts were super responsive. Check in and out was a breeze. Checked all our boxes!

About the host

Hosted by Juli Choden

I live in Texas and love coming to the beach in Bodega Bay. And, as a Hitchcock fan, the fact that the locations for The Birds were filmed here is icing on the cake.The food and wines of this region are world-class giving this very unique area that something extra that keeps you coming back.

The Sonoma County coast is one of the most beautiful in the world and Bodega Bay offers a nice contrast to the more populated coastal towns. And the friendliness of the locals was a big factor in my deciding to buy a house here.

I help host the yearly Hitchcock Film Festival every March. All proceeds are donated to the arts programs of two local schools. Our seventh Festival in March 2019 was the most successful one yet. The 2020 Festival is on March 28th.

I love Bodega Bay and am very blessed to have a home in such a unique and welcoming place that was made world famous by Hitch. I hope you decide to experience this wonderful place for yourself. The Birds house is waiting for you when you're ready.

Why they chose this property

The house was a great deal when I bought it in 2012. I liked the single-story two bedroom, two-bath layout and the very large living space. It's close to the beach, the Club restaurant, and golf. There are wine tasting opportunities throughout the area as well as the availability of fresh, locally sourced foods. Only an hour from Sonoma and Napa Valleys and even closer to Santa Rosa and Sebastopol with their great shops and restaurants. Life on the Sonoma coast is hard to beat.

What makes this property unique

The community has no street lights and very little light pollution which makes star-gazing an unforgettable experience. If you are willing to hike a bit you can likely have a beach largely to yourself. There's also a great bird viewing trail in town and the nearby town of Valley Ford boasts a great restaurant in Rocker Oysterfellers. Head north to Jenner, Duncans Mills, Monte Rio and Guerneville for more shopping, wine, food and local color.
