Get the feel of a rustic cabin without having to drive up a mountain or into the woods. This charming home on the ocean features four bedrooms with queen beds and three full bathrooms with open living space with vaulted ceilings. Snuggle up in front of the fireplace and watch the waves roll in. There is a secluded beach below and it is less than 5 minutes to walk to Dillon Beach.
This location offers some of the best views you will find anywhere on the west cost looking over all of Bodega Bay with waves crashing on the rocks and incredible sunsets. It's a quick hike to the secluded beach below and a short walk down the street to the path to Dillon Beach. Dogs only are considered for this property.

We loved our stay as a family! It was very clean. Beds were cozy, but the views!!! The views everywhere were stunning and hard to beat!! Loved our walks down to the beach on our own path. Property manager Randy was so prompt, available and accommodating. Hope to be back one day!
Very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and clean interior. Beautiful view but hazy window panes. We liked the fact there were 2 downstairs bedrooms and minimal stairs for our elderly parents. Randy responded quickly to questions. I’m unsure the beach access next to the house is actually accessible. It’s very steep. We tried but didn’t succeed. Overall, very leading and comfortable place.
Beautiful property with a great sunset view of the ocean
We arrived on time to check in the check-in process was easy. The place was clean. The host was easy to communicate with.We had a great time although it’s raining it was still beautiful and the surrounding restaurant it was great
The view and home location is spectacular!! However, the siding , deck and railings need immediate attention. They are in such disrepair, it is a safety hazard!Lovely furniture, comfortable beds and other amenities were great! But the aforementioned issues need to be addressed!
Great location. Comfy beds and all kitchen needs met. Property managers very responsive and checked in to insure we had all we needed. Would recommend this property.

Thank you for the great review. We hope to have you back again very soon.

Our family of 8 adults and 2 infants enjoyed our 3 night stay. The view from the house has to be seen to be believed. Beds and linens were very comfortable. The living room and dining area were big enough for us to spread out in. The kitchen was well supplied. We would definitely visit again.
Our family had a wonderful experience over the recent holiday. Well appointed, very clean, well located ( Petaluma was close for supplies and activities. The house was beautifully situated. We would highly recommend the Pelicans Nest.
Going to bed with the sounds of waves crashing, waking up to that beautiful ocean was just what we needed. Just two of us staying as a home base for beach time and exploring. The house was well stocked for our needs, the beds were super comfy and very clean. Thank you!
We have stayed in this house many times. There have been some good upgrades since our last stay. The view is amazing, and the host was very nice and responsive. Our only complaint is that there are no shades in the living room, and for the two hours before sunset, sitting on the sofa is nearly impossible. That isn’t a rental issue, but an owner issue that needs to be fixed.

Thanks for your review and for coming back again and again. I have brought this to the owners attention and hope to have a solution in place soon.

This house has amazing views of the ocean. It is a Rustic Cabin from the outside but modern on the inside. Great appliances and all the gear and utensils you need. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Memories of the sunsets will be our favorite forever!

Thank you very much for your stay. Hope to see you soon again. Cheers
Awesome ocean views! Really amazing views, house was clean and well equipped and comfortable beds. 3 of the 4 bedrooms have ocean views nice to wake up to in the morning. Boat launch is 15min drive from house. Overall awesome time and already thinking of another trip back!
We were two families with three very young kids who spent a birthday weekend at this location. The views were spectacular, communication with the host was easy, and we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our stay. I’m not sure that this location should be considered “luxury” as the inside is quite outdated unlike the photos, but this did not impact the quality of our stay. The short drive to Dillon Beach was also a big plus, we went multiple times. I recommend this stay.

Thanks for the great review. Those views are hard to beat. We look forward to hosting you again soon at one of our 5StarVR properties.

The view from this location is why you come here. Like another commenter replied, hearing the ocean crash on the rocks is what made this a great outing. I will also say driving around and finding local cheese shops, bakeries, and side of the road honor system farm fresh veggie/egg huts rounded out the trip perfectly. The whole family gave the location a thumbs up.

Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa. Good for a gathering of friends and family. Marvelous view of the ocean. Only thing to watch out for is that the front door closes shut and there’s no way to leave the door unlocked so be careful not to get locked out. That happened to us but fortunately the management was available to give us the spare key lock box code. So good communication. Also there are lots of small burrs in the foliage around house so be careful to check dog paws if you bring a dog.
