When you step through the front door of this lovely home, you are immediately drawn into the bright living room area with spectacular views of the 14th fairway of the Links at Bodega Harbour. The large patio is highlighted by lush grass and plants that edge the golf course, backdropped by the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean and Bodega Head. As you look around, your mind will tell you this is a great place to stay a while: clean, comfy, spacious, and cared for.

Clearly, the owners want you to feel pampered and content during your stay. The wood-burning stove is flanked by two large windows, allowing you to warm yourself as you relax and take in the view. Here and there during your visit, you will see deer, fox, quail, and other wildlife moving about the scenes before you.

When you look around the house, you will see the dining table that seats 8 or more, plus four bar stools along the kitchen bar. The well-stocked kitchen has a huge island and an ample assortment of dishware, glassware, and flatware. The kitchen has recently been updated, with new countertops and appliances. Near the kitchen are a convenient half bath and a Maytag washer and dryer as you pass through to the garage.

Each bedroom is tastefully decorated with plenty of closet space. Special attention has been paid to the high-end mattresses and bedding to assure you and your companions will sleep well and feel refreshed in the morning, ready for all the adventures the Bodega Bay area has to offer. The main bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, flat-screen TV-DVD. A sliding door gives you direct access to the spacious patio and ocean views beyond. The ensuite bath features a deep jacuzzi tub for total relaxation, a generous vanity with two sinks and a separate shower.

A second bedroom with a queen size bed and similar amenities is next to a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Bathrooms are stocked with plentiful fluffy towels and quality toiletries are provided to add to your pampered feeling.

The expansive upstairs loft is a special treat, as the views of the surrounding hills and Bay from the upstairs loft and bedroom are amplified from above. Sink into comfortable leather sofas and easy chairs. The large 55" flat-screen TV and game table await laughter and friendly banter. You will find a selection of games, puzzles, and books for your enjoyment. There is also a full-sized futon where children may sleep. When the games and entertainment end, the third bedroom provides seclusion with views of nearby grassy slopes and the same luxuries as other bedrooms, with a queen size bed to relax and sleep well.

This is a home that invites guests to gather and bond, or smaller groups who are wishing for breathing room and comfortable seclusion.
