Harbour House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Enjoy the comforts of coastal living at this three-bedroom Bodega Bay home, a golf-course-front retreat with a private hot tub; magnificent views of the ocean, the bay, and The Links at Bodega Harbour; and a fantastic location close to beaches, trails, and downtown.
This light-filled home is located in the Bodega Harbour community of Bodega Bay, right alongside a manicured golf course of the same name. Wander down the road to get properly outfitted at the Bodega Harbour Golf & Pro Shop, take morning hikes on the Pinnacle Gulch Trail half a mile east, and spend your days beachcombing at Doran Beach two miles west and Portuguese Beach six miles north, and grab dinner in charming downtown Bodega Bay two miles north.
Thoughtfully decorated with white textiles, natural wood, and rattan furnishings, the living space captures the casual appeal of the Northern California Coast. Use the central air-conditioning or the gas fireplace to find the perfect temperature, curl up on the sofa with a good book or a crossword puzzle, and admire gorgeous hillside views of the ocean and bay below.
Prepare scrambled eggs on the gas range in the kitchen each morning, leaving the breakfast plates stacked in the dishwasher. Spend the morning golfing, observing sea lions in Sonoma Coast State Park (nine miles north), or breathing in the fresh ocean air out on the deck; you'll have the afternoon and evening to browse the free WiFi, prepare meals on the gas grill, and watch the stars come out in the warmth of the private hot tub.
Experience Northern California's wild beauty in style - begin planning your Bodega Bay getaway today!

We rented this home for two weeks and the house was quite adequate for our needs of family coming and going to be with us.
The beach toys, books, and indoor toys were great for the little ones, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment, the beds were very comfortable. The location of the house was great. The view beautiful.
We thought we’d be able to use the tennis courts but learned that we could not. That was a disappointment as we are tennis players and had hoped to be able to play.
The only downside of the house was that the carpets were quite dirty and the doors and railings were very grimy.

Loved the home with such a beautiful view. Loved the decor, the kitchen was stocked with more than enough. We enjoyed our family time playing games and we loved ping pong. We had a little tournament. Walking around was beautiful and the beach was close and loved flying kites. We loved the drive to goat rock. Next time I come I will plan to golf.

Kitchen cabinets, countertop, bathroom storage and flooring were more run down than pictures indicated. Hot tub was not working. Cleaner was smoking in/near the house when we arrived. I’m still waiting for full refund of $140/day that was promised to me via the Vicasa app.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my son’s birthday at this beautiful property. It was easy to access and clean upon arrival. The house has amazing views, a very quiet neighborhood, and all bedrooms and kitchen are well appointed. It was lovely to have on-suite bathrooms for each bedroom. The gas fireplace in the living room was easy to use and offered a cozy space to gather with family. My daughter really enjoyed the ping pong table. The unit is only a short walk to the beach. The beach was just beautiful and was only sparsely populated. We would love to return in the future.
One note for older adults: only the master bedroom is on the main floor. The other two bedrooms are down near the garage. To get to main level you must either climb up 16 steps indoors from garage or approx 8-10 outdoor steps. There is also a 3 step down from the kitchen to the living room.

The view was incredible! The house very clean. There were amenity issues that Vaca Casa accommodated us for, however the day of is never a good time to hear that your plans are changing. I would recommend VacaCasa with a caution that the day of things could change. I do believe they did all they could do to make us whole, and I truly appreciated that.

This place was absolutely gorgeous. We had an amazing time. We needed a location relatively close to Redwoods, Napa Valley, and San Francisco because we had to get all that in within three days. We enjoyed Bodega Head better than any of the sights we saw all weekend. I highly recommend this home for your stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The house has amazing views! Kitchen was well equipped! Beds were very comfortable! We will book this home again !!
Only issue we had was the fireplace, we had to have maintenance guy come fix it. And the Bbq grates need to be replaced.

The house was great. Beautiful views and nicely decorated and stocked with essentials.
We received very poor customer service from Vacasa. We received a call at 3:57 saying that our check in time will be delayed one hour. We were just arriving for our 4 PM check in time. More notice would have been appreciated. We had a car full of items that need to be refrigerated after the long trip. Additionally, the oven was out of service and we did not find out until we arrived at the house. We would have appreciated advanced notice so we could plan our meals accordingly as we had young kids and meals planned for oven use. They had enough time to create, laminate and post an out of order sign so they could have provided advanced notice. This was a major disappointment from Vacasa. Lastly, the hot tub did not work as it would not go above 85 and it was very visibly dirty. We notified Vacasa of these issues right away and it took them over 2 weeks to provide any appropriate solution or response. Everything was very automated and impersonal. Once we finally received an appropriate response they only gave us a $300 refund. The hot tub cleaning fee was $100 alone. I expected more from such a large and established company. This was a very poor experience with Vacasa so much so that I will not be renting through them again.

This is the first time we have ever given a VRBO property a poor review.
We were so excited to stay in this property.
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with the rental property we booked through Vacasa for our family vacation from July 5 to July 12, 2023. We had high hopes for a pleasant and enjoyable stay, but unfortunately, our experience has been far from satisfactory.
Our check-in was scheduled for 4:00 pm on July 5, and upon our arrival at 7:30 pm, we were greeted by Karen, the housekeeper. To our surprise, she informed us that she needed an additional one and a half hours to clean the house. This delay was an inconvenience and put a damper on our excitement.
Once we finally entered the property, it became evident that the condition of the house was far from acceptable. The wood floors appeared to be well beyond their expected useful life, displaying signs of extensive wear and tear. The carpets were severely stained and damaged, making it unappealing and unhygienic to walk barefoot on any of the floors. It is disheartening that such poor maintenance and cleanliness standards were overlooked.
Furthermore, we discovered that there was garbage left out on the driveway.

Loved everything about our stay - beautiful home with all the amenities you need, great view and location - walking distance to the beach. House was clean but hot tub could’ve been cleaner and jets did not work properly. We would for sure come back and stay here again.
8.0
The house is nice with great views all around but there were some problems. The door to balcony and the master bedroom door to the patio required us to lift the door handle up all the way to allow the dead bolt to turn. The dishwasher lines have a heavy leak under the sink way up top where the aerator line and drain line meet. We still did many dishes by hand but with six people we needed the dishwasher. Someone has to be there to catch the water or else it fills up the cabinet under the sink then goes to the floor. The large pot we found there when we arrived doesn't work for that leak plus the real concern is the wiring for the garbage disposal lays in the water. The downstairs flooring is made of jute or some wicker material which is not comfortable. Also, one night when we returned the garage door was opened which was strange because we didn't have an opener for it. The floor plan is great. The hot tub was very clean and nice. If those four items listed were fixed we would stay here again.

This house has an amazing view of the ocean. Each bedroom has a king size bed and a private bathroom. This is very convenient for multiple couples. I was well stocked and very comfortable.

Beautiful view, lovely neighborhood, walk to beach. We really enjoyed the location. Kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was so nice to have. I would stay here again. The three bedrooms were a great layout for us. My kids loved the ping pong table and close proximity to the beach.
My only complaint is that while this home had a sign indicating that it is not a pet-friendly home, the pillows and couches and blankets in the living room had animal fur on them. One of the blankets that was rolled up in a basket was covered in fur. I'm not sure if this was from a previous guest that ignored the restrictions and brought their pet, or if the owners have pets, but we found the fur unpleasant, and two of our family members with allergies were sneezing quite a bit. I did not notice fur in other parts of the house, just the main living room. The couches and pillows need a good vacuum and the blankets need to be washed to try to remove the fur. This may not be part of the regular housecleaning service, but is something that seems needed if animals have been in the house.

We enjoyed a second trip to this wonderful property and enjoyed a daily walk down to the beach with a quick stop for our daughter at the playground overlooking the water. It was idyllic.

We stayed here a few months ago and loved it, and came back again with additional family members. It's an absolutely gorgeous home and wonderful location. Lovely view, great kitchen and family room space, a little deck looking out on the ocean, a hot tub for relaxing. The downsides: The downstairs ocean view bed is extremely hard and uncomfortable (the upstairs bed is also very hard but there's a memory foam topper that makes it very comfortable; we found this under the bed and had to put it on ourselves). While we were there, the balcony door handle came off and almost locked us out on the balcony, and the downstairs sink was leaking; we informed the property manager (although there was no response), so hopefully, it's fixed soon!

This property was the perfect local getaway for our family. The beach and hiking access was perfect and the house was as beautiful as pictured. We can’t wait to get back for another stay.

Great house for a family get away
The house is great and comfortable. It is well stocked for cooking, relaxing and a day at the beach. Contact for the property manager was challenging (wind knocked out the cable/internet, and could not find the modem). Property is managed by Vacasa and their contact/ was not local. The local contact numbers listed in the binder and other locations around the house were not up-to-date. There was no garage door opener (which would have been nice given it is a two story house with the front door upstairs). Otherwise, it was great to have a hot tub, comfortable couch, enough seating at the dining table, good size kitchen and patios with views. You can easily walk to the beach and play a round of golf. The biggest plus was each bedroom having its own bathroom. Will definitely stay here again.

Very Nice House, Great Ocean Views
Wonderful ocean views from the living room, dining room, kitchen area. Those spaces and the master suite are upstairs. Furnishings were comfortable and attractive; house was very clean; nice framed photographs and art on walls. Master bedroom bed was comfortable, and the master bathroom is very nice. We did not use the two downstairs bedrooms, but they are both attractive, with distant ocean views, and each bedroom has a bathroom. Kitchen was well-equipped and spacious (but it’s time to buy new wineglasses😒). The only negative: To get into the house, one must go up a steep exterior staircase of 16 steps. The top step is wonky (tilted rather than flat) — not a good way to start the trip down. You can also enter through the very clean garage and go up an internal staircase.

Spacious, comfortable retreat with a great view
My parents want to move to bodega based on their stay at this house 🤪
This was an absolutely lovely property. It’s well maintained with plenty of space. We had 4 adults and an infant but it easily could have fit another couple and another child. The kitchen is well stocked and there are fantastic views of the ocean from all the common areas. The path to the beach is a short jaunt down the road (accessible through the golf club)
We had a couple of minor issues that vacasa very quickly and responsively addressed. I would recommend doing a once through of everything at the outset of your stay just in case. The managers will fix the problems efficiently😀

No Hot Tub, No Hot Water, No Heat
Hot tub never worked properly, propane went empty on 4th night (house uses propane instead of natural gas) and it got down to 49 degrees inside. There was no hot water, no use of oven or stove..I communicated with Vacasa (property managers) many times from day 1 regarding the hot tub and no one ever came to fix it or call me. I called VRBO because they say "we have your back" but in reality they don't. They said I had to deal with Vacasa (property managers), I called at 9AM on our 5th day regarding no heat (safety issue) and I didn't hear back until 4PM. They sent someone to verify propane was empty but it was too late to get a delivery. We spent a 2nd night in 49 degree house and when we still had no propane by noon we went home early.. The area supervisor from Vacasa (Andre) did call as we were driving home, apologized for the problem and arranged for a partial refund' She was the only person from Vacasa who was helpful but it was after the fact. We can't get back the time lost with our family over the Christmas holidays.
