Photos and Description of the Bodega Bay vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 8

The View is spectacular.The house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was remodeled in 2009. It features a 6 burner gas stove, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, wine refrigerator, prep sink in the center island and granite counter tops. It is a cooks delight! Or BBQ on the gas grill on the deck just outside of the kitchen while enjoying outdoor seating with a view. Both bedrooms have Cal King size beds and flat screen TVs. There is a small room off of the living room that has a day bed with a trundle, just big enough for a couple of kids or pushed together can make another King size bed. The Hot Tub is located on a private deck just outside the Master bedroom and is great for late night star gazing, early morning sunrise soaking and daytime relaxing. The living room is cozy with a wood fireplace and a large flat screen TV that is connected to Directv Satellite programing, and there is a wide variety of movies on DVD. But who has time to watch TV when there is so much to do? Stay in or go explore the area, either way you'll love it.

About Nikki

We have lived most of our lives in Northern California. We call the Sacramento Valley home. Bodega Bay is our 'Happy Place'. We work full time and plan to retire one day to Bodega Bay.

Nikki purchased this house in 1997
Why Nikki chose Bodega Bay

We spent our Honeymoon at a home up the hill and around the corner from Southern Exposure in 1985. We've rented vacation homes in Bodega Bay and vacationed with our family for many years until we were able to buy Southern Exposure. We would celebrate birthdays, holidays and just being able to get away. Our kids are grown now and have fond memories of Bodega Bay trips. We currently live and work in the Sacramento Valley and still enjoy staying at the house as often as we can.

What makes this house unique

When we first stayed in Southern Exposure we rented it and found it was for sale. At first it seemed too spread out for me. I wanted a house that the kitchen and the living room were closer. Since then I am glad for the spaciousness, it's nice to separate from family or other guests if you choose. I love being able to hear the ocean when the windows are open. The beep from the fog horn on Bodega Head is comforting. I love walking on the beach and looking for shells. Every season has special events that are fun to do, for instance in April the Fisherman's festival is always fun with a boat building contest and race along with craft booths and the blessing of the fleet. In October Art Trails is fun to explore different local artists studios. Local farms and wine tasting are always fun to visit. I love to take a drive along the coast. And after doing all or none of that I can come back to the house and relax! The house is a Home!

Bodega Bay is a small fishing village north of San Francisco by about an hour. The bay itself is a sheltered cove. There is plenty to do fishing, canoeing, diving, surfing up the coast a little ways, and playing on the beach. There is horseback riding, golfing at the Bodega Harbour Golf Links, and wine tasting in nearby Sonoma Valley. In April, the Fisherman's festival brings out many arts and craft booths, they host a boat building contest and have live music. In July, they have a fireworks show that can be seen from our deck. In August, the food, and wine festival features many local restaurants, beer and wine makers. In October, Art trails offers open artist studios to the public featuring local artists in Sonoma county. Twice a year there is whale watching on Bodega Head, park rangers are there to answer questions and give information. Year round enjoy the beaches, fly kites, explore the many little shops in Bodega Bay and eat crab and clam chowder!

The house could not have been any better. Great neighborhood, beautiful views and a kitchen that was stocked with everything you could possibly need! Only wish we had was that we were staying longer than just a weekend. The owner was very communicative and helpful also.

Not sure how to get this posted, but our book club stayed here and had a fabulous. time! The view was spectacular,and we were able to hike nearby and feel like it was a true get-away. We had a great time cooking in the beautiful kitchen as a few of us are true foodies! We loved the view and were able to relax with the hot tub and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely make this an annual event!!

What a wonderful home and spectacular view. It had all the amenities that one would want and more. It was immaculate and the photos were right on. We had most of our dinners at the Tides Wharf Restaurant, which has an excellent menu. Found all the locals very friendly and helpful.

We were close do some touring of wine country, which made for scenic day trips.

It was a very peaceful location to relax and will highly recommend the home.

Guys Golf Stay

Hi Nikki,

We had a great time at your house and it was totally beautiful and met all our requirements. Next time could you please turn off the wind tunnel that blew thru the coast on Monday, what a day. The houses around the golf course were in danger! Hahahaha.

Seriously we had a great time, the scenery was spectacular, a visit by the local deer during dinner time was a nice touch. We had all the amenities of home and would definitely stay there again.

First, many , many thanks to Nikki! My partner and I spent the weekend at the house with another couple and had a really great time. What a beautiful home! The pictures really don't do justice. It wasn't the best weather, but we didn't care; we loved being in the house. We cooked and baked, fed the deer (brought a huge bag of organic apples for them) and the birds, enjoyed the views, great conversations in that fabulous kitchen and sun room, music, movies, and a nice fire in the evenings. None of us wanted to leave. I've been renting on VRBO for about 15 years now and have stayed in some very nice homes, but this is by far, the best. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We hope to return one day.
