Recent Bodega Bay vacation rental reviews

We truly did enjoy our stay here. The beds were comfy, nice little den to watch tv and the separate living area with the amazing ocean and sunset view made it exceptional. The location made it handy to explore beaches, come back make lunch and head out again. We would come again. Thank you for having us stay in your home.

Comfortable, modern home with a private sitting area in back and well equipped kitchen. The only criticism I have is finding it. The house is not visible from the street you enter on and the house number is on the ground on a plaque. If it could be hung on the fence that would help.

Lovely location, excellent, well appointed accommodation. The number and steepness of the 50 stairs should have been more prominently emphasized. As fairly fit folks in our late 70’s, negotiating the stairs while encumbered with our luggage was more difficult than we anticipated. The lack of filters for the coffee machine was inconvenient. Even though a drip coffeemaker was in the description, we assumed filters would have been included. The bed and bedding was comfortable, the WiFi was easy to access and the speed was excellent, considering the location. We were a bit concerned over the size of the water heater, but by spacing out our showers, the hot water was sufficient. We were a bit bemused by the sign suggesting we run the dishwasher before leaving since we were the dishwashers, ditto the request to place the used sheets and towels in the washing machine which was also nonexistent! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the location on the bay afforded relaxing views and splendid sunsets. We even savored the foggy morning on the water! A great place to relax, recharge, and refresh!

Things to do in Bodega Bay 

Renowned for its rocky Pacific Ocean scenery, Bodega Bay is also notable a specific kind of birdwatching - that is, for its association with Hitchcock's The Birds. Most of the movie was filmed here, and you can swing by the picturesque Potter School House, a compelling sight whether or not you're a fan. For less spine-tingling entertainment, right on Highway 1 in the heart of town sit a variety of quaint shops selling local wines, art, antiques, gifts, and other goodies. 

Outdoor attractions in Bodega Bay 

Truly memorable experiences lie in the natural beauty of this coastal town. A walk, or even a horseback ride, on Doran Beach will acquaint you with the bay's roaring shores. On top of Bodega Head, you'll find unbeatable views of the Pacific and perhaps even a family of humpback whales, if your timing is right. 

A short 17-minute drive north on Highway 1 takes you to Sonoma Coast State Park. At the northern tip of the park near Jenner, CA, you'll find Goat Rock Beach, home to wild harbor seals where the Russian River empties into the ocean.

Attractions near Bodega Bay 

After admiring the coast, it's worth venturing inland to some of Sonoma County's small towns. A scenic drive on the exotically named Bohemian Highway takes you 20 minutes away to Occidental, which offers cute cafes luxurious day spas. Go antiquing at the adorable Duncan Mills on California 116. It might be hard to resist wine country, but you don't have to venture too far east to find visit-worthy wineries. Just take a 30-minute drive to nearby Sebastopol and Forestville. If you wanted a taste of the city, take a day trip to San Francisco, where you'll enter via the famous Golden Gate Bridge. 

After a fun-filled day wandering the gorgeous sites of this slice of California, when you return to your Bodega Bay vacation rental or beach house rental, you'll have a wonderfully quiet and private place to relax!
