Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Wanting to just get away from it all with the most important person in your life? Look no further than this charming studio cottage tucked away on the Northern California Coast! Stunning views, a charming small town to explore, and the company of your special someone - what could be better? The 50-stair descent to the entrance is well worth the effort. Located right on Bodega Bay, this cozy home for two offers an unparalleled view of rich blue-green waters - and the opposing shores of the Bodega Dunes - right from the private deck. Breathe in the fresh ocean air whenever you like, or head out front to stretch your legs. The town of Bodega Bay offers all the essentials just a few blocks north down the central highway! Inside, this home consists of two main areas - a living and sleeping area, and a small kitchenette. The kitchenette lacks a stovetop, but the microwave and coffeemaker let you prepare simple meals and reheat delicious leftovers from the nearby restaurants. After savoring some food at the table for two, you can admire the sun dipping below the horizon on the deck, before closing the blinds and relaxing on the nearby leather sofa. Take advantage of the internet and flatscreen cable TV to stay entertained, and when you're ready to turn in, wash up in the bathroom, featuring mosaic tile in the shower and gilded trappings, before drifting off to sleep on the luxurious four-poster queen-size bed for two. After a hot cup of coffee in the morning, get ready for a rich day of exploring the area. Maybe you'll take in the bay's natural beauty? You can grab a table at an oceanfront restaurant like The Tides Wharf and watch the fishing boats bob in the water as you enjoy your meal, or you can experience the ocean up close at the sandy shores of Doran Regional Park. If you don't mind hopping in the car, you can expand your possibilities even further. Go whale-watching at the stunningly beautiful Bodega Head across the bay, or head east for a little culture. From golfing at The Links at Bodega Harbor to the wares of the Artisan's Co-op in inland Bodega itself, there's no shortage of places to visit when you want a break from the waves.

This small space was a perfect place for me to get a break from all the chaos of life. I was looking for quiet and secluded with a beautiful view which included a body of water. I saw no one while there (except the manager who came to fix the gas fireplace. He came quickly, fixed the issue and left. And was very nice too.) Easy to park and easy to get out----back on the road. I had no problem with the internet while there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles K. 29 Oct 2024 #### Cozy and Comfortable Retreat with 50 Stairs! 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! ##### Charles K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Sunny A. 1 May 2024 #### Studio on the harbor - quiet and relaxing Spent 4 days in this little spot right over the water - was a decompression trip from a busy season at work. First - this place isn't fancy - the furniture is old & worn, but not in a bad way - in a comfy grandma's place kind of way. But extremely comfortable and the location is perfect if you are looking for a quiet, private space. Overlooking the harbor, watching the birds, seals and fishing boats was very relaxing. There are a lot of steps down to the cottage, but easy to navigate and the reason you get the views and privacy. There is a new microwave & drip coffeemaker, no stove, but there is a propane grill on the back porch. Again, nothing fancy but it adds to the comfort of the place and it is clean - everything you need. Wifi is spotty - slow if you can grab it. Cable is limited. Unplug and look out the windows! There are two local stores that have EVERYTHING you would need - one is within walking distance, the other either a bit further to walk, or short drive. Not many restaurants or shopping - but a few if you look around. The parking spot is right along the highway, but if you approach from the north, easy to get in and out with a medium sized car. The little electric fireplace gave a nice glow and plenty of heat - and the shower is great! Although you can't use the "beach" below the house - no big loss - it is very small and the tide covers it part of the day - and the balcony puts you right over the water anyway - with a direct view to the west, for nice sunsets. There are plenty of free beaches/ocean access a short and pretty drive to the north. Also a short drive to Bodega Head for dramatic ocean/cliff views. I loved this little spot and am very likely to return. ##### Sunny A.
