About this property

COZY, PERFECT for COUPLES, DOG-FRIENDLY—FREE NIGHT added thru 2/28/26

BAYSIDE BUNGALOW is the perfect place for active singles, young or retired couples, or a small family who wants to be conveniently located near the WATER in Sonoma County's WINE Country and just wants to RELAX, but.... The Bungalow is ESPECIALLY great for those who love SEAFOOD, wine-tasting and ACTIVITIES, like: SURFING, BOATING, FISHING, KAYAKING, WIND-SURFING, PADDLE-BOARDING, KITE-FLYING, CLAM-DIGGING, HIKING, HORSEBACK RIDING....AND, more!

Or...just RELAX. Sit on the beach with a glass of Sonoma County WINE from your complimentary bottle. Walk your DOG on the beach or one of many great trails near the Bungalow. Or...curl up with a movie while you listen to the sound of the fog horn and waves breaking at Doran Park.

ACTIVITIES GALORE:

There are at least 4 GREAT (dog-friendly) restaurants and with outside seating and shops within walking distance. Go whale watching, crabbing or fishing on a charter boat (charters are 2 blocks away from the Bungalow).

Rent a kayak. Just walk out the front door of the Bungalow and in two minutes--reach the bay where you can get into your kayak and paddle around the bay to watch the sea lions, otters and many, many, many bird species.

Or, rent a horse and go on a trail ride through the cypress trees and sand dunes, or ride to the top of "Eagle View" and see the edge of the continent, or take a BEACH ride along the edge of the waves.

Or, go into the town of Bodega and see the "schoolhouse" and church where Alfred Hitchcock filmed scenes shown in "The Birds" movie (available to watch later in your Bungalow). Have a great burger at the Casino and browse the galleries and gift shops in this quaint little town.

Doggie owners can romp at the newly created, off-leash dog-park beach at Doran Park, or head up to Goat Rock and Blind beach (off-leash) for a long walk, followed by a picnic with a bottle of great wine and crab sandwiches.

Bayside Bungalow is a cozy 1 bedroom duplex perfect for a single, couple or parents with small children. The bedroom has black-out drapes, a very comfortable, queen-sized, memory-foam mattress, and 99% of our guests LOVE it (there are folding sleeping mats for children).

There's a combined living room/kitchen with a big, soft loveseat, lots of pillows, and throws to cuddle up in. The kitchen is fully equipped (pots/pans/dishes, utensils, spices, etc.,) with a dishwasher, refrigerator, stovetop range, microwave, Mr. Coffee pot, toaster and toaster oven. There's DIRECTV in the front room and bedroom. The bathroom has complimentary hygiene supplies, a tub, shower and ample supply of towels, extra towels (and "dog" towels).

Oh, and you'll notice lots of original oil and watercolor paintings on the walls done by the owner and friends (they're for sale...).

The bottom line? Our guests RETURN and refer their friends and family!

NOTE: FOR A SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT ON LONG STAYS, PLEASE SEND AN INQUIRY TO THE HOST.

This is my second time staying here. It is a great location. Close to the ocean and many restaurants. I brought my dogs and Pam, the owner, shared some good trails for walking the dogs. I like that the house has a fenced in yard for the dogs. The bungalow is perfect for a couple or single person. It has a comfortable bed, very clean, a small kitchen but has everything you need. I will be coming back again. Thanks for the relaxing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Wallace

Host profile image
We are native Californians who migrated from San Francisco to Sonoma County in the 60's.

Why they chose this property

It has always been a dream of ours to have a home on the coast (there's only so much property on the coast and there won't be any more added, so....). We wanted a home close to the water that we could live in when we retire; but until that time, we are happy to share it with other water lovers!

What makes this property unique

Steps from the bay, accessible fishing charters, kayak and horse rentals, hiking trails, and walking distance to 8 local restaurants and eateries. ALL that--and the sound of the foghorn and seals barking--makes the Bayside Bungalow the perfect place for weekend get-away. It's just a great, dog-friendly, cozy place to eat great food, drink great wine, and relax...relax...relax!
