About this cottage rental
Fox Kit Cottage offers an exciting ocean experience in sumptuous comfort. As you scroll through the pictures you will see there is nothing in Bodega Bay like it. Well-appointed, it has two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed, the other with two twin beds, and one bathroom. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or a vacation for a small family.
With its remodel in 2011and further enhancements in 2018, the cottage continues as an upscale retreat for its owners and guests. Sitting above Wright’s Beach, views dominate from nearly every room, and intense ocean scenes are customary. From the beautifully designed deck and spa, you will relax, unwind, and feel what the power of the sea can do for your soul.
The ocean is not the only attraction. There is wildlife everywhere. Birds, whales, and fox (the cottage’s namesake) are just a sampling. From two short paths – Monterey Pine Path, and Bluff Path, you will enjoy the coastal landscape and incredible views. The spacious lot hosts a majestic, intricately intertwined, 40-year old Monterey Pine tree, with a path under its canopy and a stone bench to sit and admire natural arbor artistry. The Bluff Path takes you down to a bench amongst the freshwater springs, flowering foliage, with the vast ocean below.
Furnishings reflect a commitment to clean contemporary design, local art, and attention to detail. Amenities include quality bedding, thick bath towels and robes, and natural toiletries, setting this home apart from others. Those who like to cook will appreciate the 5-burner gas stove and fully stocked kitchen. For more details go to foxkitcottage dot com.
There are activities nearby for everyone: Horseback riding on the beach, surfing at Salmon Creek Beach, pampering at the Osmosis Spa, hiking among ancient redwoods at Armstrong Grove, golfing at Bodega Harbour, abalone diving, kayaking and swimming on the Russian River, zip-lining at Occidental. The list goes on and on, and we are happy to provide suggestions!

The pictures are completely accurate, and the views are stunning. Sunsets over the ocean were incredible!
Note that getting to the beach is a short walk to Duncan's Cove then down a trail. The beach was never busy, even over the July 4th holiday.
Also note that while temperatures inland reached over 100 degrees at times, the coast was high 60s to low 70s. Perfect for sitting on the deck in the warm sun and then cool air for sleeping at night.
Driving around northern California was pure delight. You won't be disappointed!

What a phenomenal location AND they were too humble to include the stunning tree beside the house which was perfect for climbing (children and adults alike). Warning: there is a skylight directly above the bed and children’s rooms don’t have blackout so pack your pushpins and eye masks. 5 min walk to the beach is a trek with a wagon so carry things by hand.
We WILL be back for those hot tub ocean waves.

The house is designed in a unique way. Not bad just different. Amenities description should be updated. No over air tv. People have their own streaming accounts for Netflix and so on but a lot of people do not use streaming tv. They have cable or satellite. Description says use you tube tv but there is no account for it so you can’t use it. Buying an over the air digital Antenna for 50 dollar or less would allow you to get local channels for free. This isn’t horrible but it is slightly misleading.

Just what my family of four needed. A cozy place with fantastic views, sea breeze, smell of salt water, and relaxation. The spa was a plus while watching the sunset!
The property communication after reservation was wonderful, instructions for check in and check out were very simple, we arrived to a very clean home, kitchen was equipped, and beds (and pillows) were very comfy. We will be back, thank you!

We enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at Fox Kit! Everything about the property was simply perfect! A beautiful romantic stay.

We normally stay in Santa Cruz but I think we liked Bodega Bay better. The house was beautiful and right on the beach. Beautiful views and we were able to hear the ocean from our bedroom. Property was clean and beautiful.

Love it

Incredible home with spectacular views, fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Conveniently located next to a campground where our close friends were also staying. Can't wait to book another trip!! This will definitely become an annual trip.

Enjoyed the view and sound of the ocean from the hot tub.

If you want to stay at a place with a great view, look no further. Upon approach the house looks wonderful and is surrounded by many plants and an epic tree to the left. Upon our arrival a neighbor greeted us and offered our kids some popsicles to enjoy in the hot tub, she was very pleasant and friendly. Ocean views from the kids room, the dining area and tv room. There is a good sides wooden deck and large garden filled with many succulents. My wife loved the garden and our family had aphotoshoot in the big
tree. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the pantry had some useful items as well. The jacuzzi was on and ready but unfortunately we never got to use it as there were high winds.
Downsides - bathroom ceiling is a bit low in areas including in front of the sink. If you're tall, approaching the sink from the side may be best. If you're short, the bathroom sink to be fairly high.
Beware of ants, but hey living by the beach tends to come with the risk of ants. Keep a clean kitchen and airseal your open snacks, even then you will run across them. I wouldn't recommend sitting on the toilet before checking for ants or leaving toiletries exposed on the counter. There is spray in the pantry, which will come in handy. The bigest downside for us was that we werent aware of the ant problem until we ourselves had an ant problem.There are small traps throughout the house you will eventually come across as well, we just wished we knew ahead of time.

Enjoyed this location
Views are amazing!
Kitchen could be more stocked with glasses one was chipped
One champagne glass and one wine glass
I usually bring what I need since you never know
If you have more than two people could be a little cozy in the bathroom
Overall it was beautiful weather and a great visit

Nothing as advertised. No power, no water, hot tub cold. No Wi-Fi. Very poor communication and no attempt to help or fix the problem while we were there. No offer for partial or full refund. We basically paid thousands of dollars to CAMP

I wanted to take some time before I wrote this review to accurately describe the property. The view from the deck is simply beautiful. House overlooks the ocean and its quite a feeling to wake up and see the ocean. However, the property management and property needs work and attention. The first issue we were greeted with was ants. Each morning the counters were covered with ants. We cleaned every day. More issues include cookware that was a hodge podge of goodwill level pans. The pans are in horrible shape, utensils were a mismatch of random items. We tried to cook eggs in the pans, but that was failure. The overall kitchen items were old, worn out and needed replacement. The overall kitchen needed some love, etc There was no aluminum foil, the spices were all out of date, salt of out stock, etc. We had planned to cook one item, but the kitchen was bare bones. The bedding in the master bedroom has spots of blood on the comforter. The blind in the master bedroom was broken and held held together with binder clips. You couldn't open the blinds in the master bedroom for light.We reached out to the property manager for towels as only 2 towels were provided. We had read a few reviews of a beeping noise. The management company had removed the smoke alarm. BEWARE. Overall, great views but the management/owner needs to remedy some of the problems. We reached out afterwards and they said never been brought up before. Property owners seem cheap and don't care about issues.

Our stay was perfection. We didn't want to leave :)

The view is stunning! The property is beautiful! House is updated and perfect for a getaway to the beach. Already booked for a second trip!

Unobstructed ocean views and sounds. Very private but very convenient to Bodega town amenities. And hot tub....
4.9
We loved this property! The pictures can’t do the view justice! There’s nothing like watching the surf and sunset from a spa, a balcony or comfortable sofa! We so enjoyed the layout of the cottage and all the amenities.
We have to mention Meg, the neighbor who welcomed us so sweetly with a homemade treat! She was so friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay! We will definitely be coming back!

What an absolutely sublime coastal property the Fox Kit Cottage is! Immediately we wished we’d booked at least 3 nights because two full days at minimum is a must.
The cottage felt more like a small home in that it was spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we didn’t need to purpose half the items we brought along (such as pots, measuring cups, etc.). A delight to prepare meals in, truly!
On top of the thoughtful kitchen was the comfortable bedding. My mom had the master bedroom as she’s recovering from knee replacement surgery. She loved her bedroom and cozy queen bed. I was in the second bedroom on the bottom bunk. What a restful little room with its high-quality foam mattress and window ocean views to wake up and gaze upon. I was impressed.
The living furnishings were all comfortable too and the home was pristinely clean. I have rented many homes globally and this by far supplied the most “livable” and versatile furniture (plus plenty of toiletries and other conveniences like paper towels and tissues). Fabulous and considerably sized bare wood dining table too. Loved it!
And of course, the cheery on top was the impeccable, unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, in all its magnificence. Taking it in from the amply sized hot tub was an enormous bonus too. We spent a lot of time soaking, and it did wonders for my mom’s healing knee.
What's more, check-in and check-out was a piece of cake!

This cute little house was so amazung to stay at. We were only there 2 nights and wished we could have been there longer. The view from the hot tub was so incredibly beautiful at sunset and so relaxing. We will deffinetly be going back at some point.
4.9
Ocean air, clean well appointed place, comfortable beds, incredible views, beach walks, sweet neighbors and a magical Monterey pine made this a perfect place for a restorative stay. Nature put on a five star performance as well; we enjoyed sunrises, sunsets, beautiful days and cozy nights.
We also loved exploring Bodega Bay and enjoying the fresh seafood.

My husband and I stay in multiple oceanfront properties every year all up and down the CA coastline. Fox Kit is one of the most stunning views we have had from our deck. The rugged rocks below make for some pretty spectacular crashing waves and, overall, the property is very private and peaceful. As other reviews have stated the ceiling in the bathroom is low but, even though we are both tall, it really wasn't a big deal and in no way detracts from what a great place this cottage is...inside and out!
4.9
Great views and location! Sloped ceilings a bit unexpected for my tall husband.
4.9
Description is accurate. Saw whales, a fox, deer. Quick walk to a beautiful beach. Loved it!

We spent our 30th anniversary here and the oceanfront experience was spot on!

Amazing views and great little property! Have stayed before and hope we get the chance to stay again. Thanks Beth and Fox Kit! Awesome!!!

The location is wonderful! Great view of the ocean.
The TV was not working properly but the crashing waves were non-stop.
4.9
Really wonderful! Just be aware that the power goes out due to weather conditions. It is nice if you are looking for an escape from the bustle of life.
4.9
We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and charming, with many thoughtful touches, and the view is spectacular. Unfortunately, we weren't clear that the bathroom is pretty far from the master bedroom, and is a bit cramped. Also, the master bedroom is pretty dark.
4.9
Beautiful home, great location, amazing views. Will definitely return!
4.9
This charming little beach cottage was the perfect place for my husband and I to relax and unwind for our post-wedding mini-moon. The property was very clean, kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the views from the patio and hot tub were absolutely stunning. We will definitely be back for our next stay-cation!
4.9
What a beautiful home with all the amenities you would need for your stay. The house was newly remodeled, which made it very comfortable for my family with two kids ranging in age from 3 - 12. The deck with a hot tub overlooking Wright Beach was a great way to enjoy the sunset.
I highly recommend this place if you want to get away from the bustle of Bodega Bay during a holiday weekend. You won't be disappointed.
4.9
We had a great stay at Fox Kit Cottage! The view(s) is incredible even when it's cloudy. We got to see 2 amazing sunsets from the hot tub while we were there.
The cottage was spacious enough for our family of 4. Overall location is excellent. We went into Bodega Bay multiple times and up to Armstrong Woods another day. Plenty to do nearby or if you just want to relax and look at the view this is the place to be!
4.9
Very nice.

Wonderful view of the pacific oven! The property is well appointed and very clean. Believe this is the fourth time we have stayed there!
4.9
Charming small home with spectacular views and gorgeous garden/landscape. On a quiet street just off the main scenic highway. A wonderful place to relax.
4.9
This place was such a gem. Location could not have been better. 10 minutes into town, just far enough out for a very peaceful stay. Neighbors were so nice. Deck with hot tub overlooking the ocean. Succulent gardens, bending trees, evening whale watching from the deck. Very close to Wrights beach if you want to put your toes in the stand or just fix a cocktail and observe and people watch from the deck or hot tub. Would recommend highly for a quick getaway, anniversary, birthday or just a girls weekend away!
4.9
The view and location were AMAZING! I have never stayed anywhere with a more scenic and gorgeous view of the beach. The hot tub was fantastic as well. The beds and couches were all very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Would highly recommend!
4.9
This was our second time booking this home, and we loved it the first time but unfortunately, as soon as we entered, there was a beeping noise the entire time. I met the neighbor next-door, and the neighbor was going to reach out to the homeowner and we also reached out to property management. The property manager was supposed to send someone out but unfortunately the beeping continued our entire stay for three days.
If it wasn’t for the beeping, this place would have been perfect! Sitting in the spa and looking up at the stars at night time was absolutely grand. The location of the place with those amazing sun sets on the ocean, morning coffee on the porch hearing the waves crash was spectacular!
If property management could fix that beeping, and or send someone out in a timely manner to fix some thing, this place is highly recommend
4.9
-Weather was ok and the hot tub was a + high winds on our last night :(
-Only 2 bath robes and there were 4 of us :(
-Wished that there was a Tv in the bedrooms
There was an annoying beeping noise coming from the water meter outside. It could be heard all the was in the bathroom and tv area. Non-stop.

Awesome view, perfect location for a peaceful getaway!
