About this house rental
Taylor Made Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Wonderfully situated in the heart of the old village, this inviting cottage brings contemporary comfort to the most classic of Bodega Bay settings. Stroll down to the water's edge to watch the fishing boats come and go, and catch unforgettable sunsets from the wraparound porch overlooking the bay.
This single-story home is located in the waterfront town of Bodega Bay, within a few blocks of several cafes, shops, and fishing charters. Whether your interests lie in beachcombing, fishing, or surfing, you'll have South Salmon Creek Beach, Bodega Dunes Beach, and Doran Beach all within two miles. This is also a great home base for exploring the Sonoma and Marin Coasts, with Jenner (11 miles), the Russian River Valley, and Point Reyes National Seashore (35 miles) close by.
This home is nearly a century old, but it's been thoughtfully updated in recent years to enhance its comfort, ease, and original charm. At the heart of the living space is a brand-new kitchen, offering stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining room table.
Begin each morning with a mug of coffee and a cushioned seat outside on the sheltered patio, and end each evening curled up in the warmth of the gas fireplace in the living room. Set up a board game at the dining room table, use the complimentary WiFi to check tomorrow's tides and surf, and leave the day's swimsuits and clothes in the care of the washer/dryer before turning in for a restful night's sleep.

Small but well appointed. They just need to fix the problem with the refrigerator stinking like fish. It was overpowering.

Loved our stay here, such a cute little spot and so convenient. Made for an excellent get-away!

I would stay here again. It was clean. The house had all the amenities I needed to be comfortable, and all the lights worked. The furniture was comfortable. We only slept on the king-sized bed, and it was wonderfully comfortable. The sheets were nice cotton, and there were extra blankets and pillows. I am not comfortable giving it a five-star rating, because there were a few glitches with the house, during my stay. The shower in the back laundry/bathroom appears to have either mold, or the grout is discolored near the bottom. I did send a picture to the company. They said they would handle it. The most frustrating thing to me was the lack of communication about what procedures to follow, and how to lock the door from the outside. The first morning, I had to leave without locking the door, because I tried every button combination, to no avail. I called and spoke with a representative of Vacasa. At lunch, I called the company again, and they couldn’t tell me if anything had been done. I had hoped to avoid the 20-minute drive to the house and back. I arrived at the house to a note from John, who had locked the door. I called John and he walked me through the steps to lock and unlock the door. The instructions for how to lock the door from the outside were not in any of the emails, texts, nor were they in the in-house binder. Also, for two days there was a small group of ants who showed up on the kitchen counter. I wouldn’t ding them for this, but I wanted others to be aware.

This charming cottage is in a good location, right off the main street. There is a lot of traffic on the main road, but it does die down in the evening and didn't bother us. We loved the kitchen which looks newly remodeled. There is a good selection of dishware to use. The only suggestion I have is to have a little more cookware, specifically larger fryng pans and update the walking shower. Other than that, it's very cozy and perfect for 2-3 adults or 2 adults and two small children. The fenced patio was great for our dog and it has a nice front porch that you can sit on and people watch. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of bedding. The cottage was very clean on arrival and we were very appreciative after a long drive. We definitely would like to come back for another stay in the future. Thank you for our stay!

Cute, updated cottage, with a view of the bay from the front porch. The location was excellent as we walked to restaurants, a coffee shop and a grocery store! It was also convenient to walk our dog every morning through the neighborhood!
Can’t wait to return!!!

We stayed at the Taylor house for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, with a small grocery store within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable, and the house is beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed this home. The home is clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck sipping on wine and enjoying the outdoors. We drove to Doran beach and enjoyed spending time on the beach!

The home has a large master bedroom and big master bathroom. Very spacious! Love that we can bring our fur baby with us on vacation! Fully fenced so no escaping. Home was clean and you can see the water from the front deck. It is closer to highway 1 so you can hear the traffic passing by but not super loud. No immediate beach access close by so you'll have to drive a little ways. Overall I would recommend the home!

We loved this place and the view. The seating and beds were comfortable and the kitchen was set up well enough that you could actually cook in it! The reason we gave 4 stars for the neighborhood was that we expected it to be quieter, since it was on a side street. But I think the locals, especially noisy contractor trucks, use this street to cut through so traffic noise started early in the morning. The only other issue we had was that our small dog (17 pounds) could easily get through the deck rail, but he loved the yard itself. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect house to enjoy while visiting Bodega Bay. Enjoyed sitting on the deckwith the bay view. Also nice privet back deck.
Close to shops and restaurants. Close enough for day trips to Point Reyes National Seashore and Napa.

A friend and I chose this wonderful house for a 2 day getaway. It was lovely to each have our own bedroom and bathroom. The heating worked very well, the kitchen was well stocked, check in and out was super easy. The kitchen table was spacious enough for us both to have our laptops out for work, the sofa and living room area cozy for reading and roomy enough for stretching. The area was quiet, 5 minutes walk to good coffee, 10 minute drive to Bodega town or Bodega Head. Just perfect for us.

First time staying there 3 days. It was truly wonderful, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Cottage had everything we needed. Brought our 2 small dogs and they enjoyed going outside around the fenced in yard. We definitely are looking forward to coming back again soon!
Only one fix that’s needed is the vertical 2x2 rail post on right side next to front gate is loose on the bottom so a small dog could get out…

Taylor Made Cottage allowed us to experience the perfect get away. It is close to the beach and steps away from a great market. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. I definitely plan on returning to this cottage in the future.

Bedrooms are large, living room/kitchen is well appointed and inviting. I loved the stove in living room. It heats the space in moments. Sitting on the porch, looking at Bodega Bay is soothing. Succulents and roses out front are charming. I wish I were still there. Highly recommend.

The vintage bungalow is darling: updated with all modern conveniences for the traveler yet retains its original charm. The home is stocked with everything you might need in the kitchen and bathroom. I appreciated the clear instructions for operating the gas powered living room stove and the very comprehensive guest manual that includes information about the surrounding area AND(!) manuals for appliances in the home, should you need to refer to them. The outdoor spaces are well thought out also.
