About this house rental
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 . ESPECIALLY great for those who love SEAFOOD, wine-tasting and watersports: SURFING, BOATING, FISHING, KAYAKING, WIND-SURFING, PADDLE-BOARDING, KITE-FLYING, CLAM-DIGGING....AND, other activities! Or...just relax with a glass of Sonoma County WINE while you listen to the sound of the fog horn and waves breaking at Doran Park.
ACTIVITIES GALORE: Great restaurants, wine-tasting and shops within walking distance (go crabbing/fishing on a charter or 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 and gallop on the beach. Or, go to the town of Bodega and see the "schoolhouse" and church where Alfred Hitchcock filmed scenes shown in "The Birds" movie.
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 a queen-sized memory-foam and there are folding sleeping mats for the children. There's a combined living room/kitchen fully equipped with DIRECTV in the front room and bedroom (with HBO, SHOWTIME, etc.,). 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...).
Since COVID-19 began impacting all of us, we have taken precautions, so please be assured that the Bungalow is thoroughly cleaned, with all bedding, linens and surfaces disinfected between guests.
(Note: Due to the hike in the cost of living, we are discounting our daily rate to make your little getaway more affordable.)

Very cozy, comfortable and perfectly located. Pamela was a wonderful host, with helpful advice about where to eat, sightsee, and walk our dog. Very dog friendly with a protected fenced yard and doggie towels to shower and dry our dog after a day at the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful bungalow. The place was clean, quiet, and near the harbor. We especially appreciated the ability to bring our dogs and the fenced in yard. It is close to restaurants and walking distance to the water. We appreciated the hosts quick and efficient communication and flexibility. We will come back in the future! Thank you!

It's just as advertised, comfy and on the water.

This bungalow was the perfect spot to visit all Bodega Bay’s hotspots. Having the fenced yard for our two small dogs was perfect. Highly recommend Doran Beach nearby, as we went there twice in one weekend. Pamela was a great host.

Clean, accommodating, centrally located and the Hostess, Pamela , was very knowledgeable and able to point us in the right direction for all our needs.
Now Fritz, our mini schnauzer, was pampered by the accommodations made by Pamela and many restaurants are doggie friendly. Thanks for everything Pamela we will visit again.

This was the perfect amount of space for 2 adults, 2 small kids, and 1 large dog. Pamela was a great host and so kind and friendly! Booking and checkin were easy and we had a great time.

No mention in description the the unit shares a thin uninsulated wall with owners dwelling so sounds and cooking smells from owners unit were very noticeable. Place was quite expensive for what you got. Views of the bay was really views of the RV park in the back. Noisy busy road with speeding cars. But, most disturbing was the fact the owner went into our unit while we were gone without asking us (said she had to put something in our freezer bc hers was not working). We noticed something was amiss when we came back to the unit. She approached us after the fact and bc we didn’t make a big deal of it right then, it happened again when we left for dinner.

Nice property well equipped with everything. Walking distance to a lot. Wish we’d had more time to spend there. Bodega Bay is a great area on the coast of California. Plan to go back with my daughter or sister soon. Love the area and this place!!

Charming fully furnished cottage. Wi-Fi, games, full-size frig & stove, and comfy seating options including a table & chairs for dining. A fenced-in yard for our little doggie was a real plus. There was easy access to beaches and eateries. Our host, Pamela, was readily available and accommodating.

First thing to mention is that the owner lives onsite, which isn’t mentioned in the ad, so it makes this feel much more like a home share than your own place. I think my biggest overall issue was that it’s way over priced for what it is. The curb appeal is awful, there is a very hard bed, no bathroom accessories - face wipes (even though you’re told NOT to use washcloths for makeup removal and that makeup wipes will be provided), no shampoo or conditioner, etc. I was disappointed with all of this, but I had planned to let go. Unfortunately the final straw was that there was cigarette smoke coming through to the rental apartment the whole weekend (Since it shares a wall and a door w the main house). There was someone smoking inside while a paying customer was next door, truly I’m still shocked! For the cost we paid for this rental, the least I would expect is not to be breathing in smoke all weekend. My husband and I were very uncomfortable and disappointed and pretty much stayed away the whole weekend except to sleep (on an incredibly hard bed). I did mention the smoke to the owner as I left and the only reaction was a brief email apology. I feel my rating is generous after our experience.

Nice lady and location but.....the fireplace was a space heater, the dishwasher didn’t work, the stove didn’t work and the dining table was the outside patio furniture. Wont stay there ever again

Needed a place to stay in near Bolinas and this fit the bill.

My pups, husband, and I had a lovely trip to Bodega Bay. We really appreciated all the little touches to show that it was a pup friendly place, which is rare when you have a bigger dog. Great good recommendations nearby for clam chowder and fish and chips. Nice walks on the water.

Great stay and location. Only suggestion is you may want to place a clock in the kitchen/living room area. :-)

This property was perfectly located right on Bodega bay, walkable to the water, restaurants and minutes away by car from gorgeous Bodega Head. All conveniences are thoughtfully provided, and Pamela is a gracious and responsive hostess. So peaceful, I haven’t slept so well in years!
