5 Star Oceanfront/Beachfront Home at Portuguese Beach!

"Casa Bella"Oceanfront home. Location, Location, Location!

"Casa Bella" is a very clean and private THREE bedroom, FOUR full bathroom custom built home recently updated in 2019, it's perched front and center above Portuguese Beach in Sereno Del Mar. Not a home insight to the West for 5,866 miles, just beautiful blue and turquoise Pacific waters! Comfortable for up to 6 guests, every room has unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy watching a variety of birds, ospreys, hawks, pelicans, seagulls, shorebirds, hummingbirds and fat California quail. Also an abundant of wildlife includes cottontail bunnies, deer, spotted fawns, foxes, migrating spouting whales, seals, and a resident Bobcat! During mid-October to early November if you're lucky, you might see some Monarch Butterflies in our yard that also migrate through Bodega Bay. Don't forget to bring your binoculars, cameras and flip-flops.

Beautifully landscaped with a fabulous protected courtyard allows you to relax and enjoy our Italian fountain, flowers, sitting area with padded outdoor furniture and beachy decorative pillows from Pier 1. Our 9' Market Umbrella has LED lights that gives a wonderful ambience, there's also a Weber charcoal BBQ, got oysters? Or looking out West from this lovely oceanfront home, shimmering seas looks like millions of sparkling diamonds, specular colorful sunsets, migrating whales and all the wildlife activity it has to offer. Also on the oceanside we have a round picnic table with another LED lighted 9' umbrella, and a gas fire pit with blue decorative glass!

As you enter this unforgettable home you will find a fully equipped remodeled gourmet kitchen, with new counter tops/back splash, all new appliances. New square white dinner, salad plates and bowls with plenty of beautiful serving dishes, pots and pans and utensils, you name it we have it! A - 3 setting KEURIG coffee maker with (regular Dark Roast Starbucks or Peet's Coffee) K-cups are supplied. Fresh linens, new fluffy towels, down pillows/comforters, comfy beds and bedding, all beds have 3" memory foam toppers. A formal dining room with stunning ocean views, family room and a spacious loft with a big sectional couch where you can sit and just stare at the ocean waves rolling towards you. Watch commercial fisherman, party boats, read a good book or check out a subscription to Coastal Living magazine. There is a 85" SAMSUNG/QLED flat screen HDTV. We have a Bose Mini sound bar so you can listen to your own tunes from your iPhone, or iPad. For more entertainment, Comcast/Xfinity has lots of music channels and movies On Demand. We have a good selection of books, games, cards, puzzles, etc... On another note when you first arrive, with your iPhone go to your Settings. Scroll down to Phone and turn on Wi-fi Calling.

Getting to the beach, no problem! Just a minute walk to the State maintained path and steps to the sand and sea. You can beach comb, collect shells, beach glass and driftwood. Stroll down the scenic coastline and observe starfish, mussels clinging to the rough rocks, tide pools, and a lot more for you to explore! For day trips we are close to Point Reyes, Armstrong Woods State Park, Healdsburg, Napa and St Helena. If you're a golfer, The Links at Bodega Bay is very popular as is Northwood Golf Club in Monte Rio, beautiful course among the majestic Redwoods.

Local attractions include: Golfing, wine tasting, seasonal farmers market, hiking, biking, kayaking, sailing, surfing, sport fishing, paddle boarding and horse back riding on the beach. Visit local wineries, quaint little marinas, restaurants, shopping at boutique galleries, candy, kite, and saltwater taffy stores. Stop by our new Visitors Center on Hwy 1 for free maps, things to do, local art, as you pass through town, you can't miss it!

Spending the Holidays? We decorate our home from stem to stern and you will ooh and ah over our 12ft. Christmas tree with meticulously placed ornaments from around the world and 1,500 sparkling white and/or multi-colored lights!

Host profile image
I'm a Sonoma County native born and raised in Santa Rosa, California! I have always loved the beach, ocean, the rugged coastal cliffs and all the wildlife it has to offer. My Dad and his business partners developed Sereno Del Mar the area Casa Bella is in, in the mid-60's when I was just a little girl. My husband Mike and I feel very lucky to own a home in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Bodega Bay!

Why they chose this property

My husband Mike and I bought "Casa Bella" in 2001 we are the 2nd owners, it was built in 1989 the year we got married! Over the years we have updated it inside and out with a nautical theme for our family, friends and guests to enjoy. We live West of Sebastopol, just a short 20-25 minute scenic ride to "Casa Bella" it's a whole different world. As soon as you see the ocean it just does something to your sole. We love our home and we hope you will too making memories that last a lifetime! We look forward to hosting you and yours! Come see for yourself "Life's Better at the Beach!"

What makes this property unique

Private Oceanfront Estate with Pacific Ocean views from every room!
