Lovely view of the Bay
Our third time staying in Steve's apartments. Very clean, comfortable with lovely views of the Bay and wildlife. Our favorite place when we need an "oyster" fix. Highly recommend!

Time to breathe
My best friend and I both live very busy lives and we don’t get to see each other often. This was the perfect place for us to spent a quiet couple of days just to get away and unwind. Our host Steve was very courteous and accommodating. Check in was easy and everything was as listed. The views are amazing! I would love to bring my husband back some day.

Lovely getaway
The location of this studio is everything. What a beautiful way to rest and restore after the holidays. A few simple upgrades would improve the space immensely (window coverings, coffee service, floor lamp next to sofa), but I come for the view of the water and the wildlife. Checking in and out is simple. Missing it already.

Super Amazing: Overlooking Bodega Bay
The Bodega Bay studio was so excellently situated literally overhanging the Bay. It’s on the water of the bay. We had such a great, great time! The views from the windows covering 50% of the studio, were breathtaking . The wood-heating stove made the studio very warm and cozy. You can buy wood from the Diekmann’s Deli which is super close by. We hope to return to this paradise again some day!

A little disappointing
It is a studio but it really needs some maintenance. We had to call VRBO to find out about a guest book and the internet password was wrong but we finally got in by guessing at the password. It really took 5 to 7 minutes to hot/warm water every time we needed it. The balcony really needs maintenance as the railing is splintering. We did not watch much TV but the channel selection is VERY poor. Looks like the owner opted for the cheapest package. You should warn people about the driveway as it was very difficult to navigate.

Sweet Stay on Bodega Bay
Sweet studio situated within a historic building right on Bodega Bay. Stunning views and sunset. The studio was equipped with a little bit of everything. Noneed to bri g kitchenware. The unit was very clean. Units #2and #3 (we were in #3) are not ADA. The driveway is narrow and steep. The directions given in the description for entering the driveway was very helpful. We would love to stay here again.

Bday getaway
We stayed here for my husbands birthday. Although we could have parked his motorcycle in front of my car we were allowed to park it in the garage. Thus keeping it out of the elements. It’s a great little studio on the water. Spectacular views. Oh by the way, I named the Western Gull that comes and visits daily Bartholomew.

Super clean, super cute, very quiet. The parking and driveway was the only sketchy part but that’s because we had a super big truck. I recommend a smaller vehicle and you’ll have no issue.

Bodega bay
The view is lovely for sure but the accommodations are dated . Interior was clean but tired looking . There was no way to use outdoor space. Deck was slippery and dirty. I missed in my view of the listing there is no furnace. Only a wood burning stove and electric heaters which was adequate but a surprise when owner sent instructions . Also hot water is true to the note in the bathroom and takes 4 minutes to heat . Again doable but an oddity.

We celebrated our 27th anniversary here in this studio on the water. The sounds from the rain hitting the water and the birds calling were awesome. Great crab, coffee shop, and trinkets up the road. The house was clean, quiet, and on a really great spot on the water. We will definitely be back!

Perfect quick getaway
I loved the quaint and cozy studio for my 2- night post-holiday reboot. The location was perfect and being right on the water was so gorgeous and relaxing. I could deeply relax and watch the birds and rain through the large windows (even a huge heron visited the patio a couple of times). The bed and pillows were super comfy and the surroundings were very quiet. I would certainly return for another solo trip. A few thoughts: 1. I arrived after sunset and drove past the driveway 4 times before I found it. Show up during daylight if you can 2. While the bed was so comfy, it would be improved with more updated/newer blankets 3. There are many beautiful large windows and several do not have curtains. If you like to sleep in, bring a sleep mask.

Perfect studio for a couple. We were very comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with everything but a full size oven but there was a large toaster oven/air fryer in replace of that. We brought most of the food we needed from home but Diekmann’s has a good selection of just about everything and really good pizza! We brought a Duraflame for each night we were there and it was really nice and toasty! (There are adaquate space heaters however.) Two mornings we woke up to a blue heron perched on the balcony railing! Lots of birds and boats to watch from the windows/balcony. Beautiful sunsets and sunrise colors over the bay from the comfort of the bed or couch. The hot water does take more than a normal amount of time to get to the sinks and shower but now you know then you know to plan for it, and it was plenty hot once it got there! The driveway and parking are a bit of a challenge but fine as long as you aren’t driving an extra large vehicle. I wouldn’t want to park or need to turn around a full size truck there!

Extremely relaxing and beautiful
My husband and I were looking for a place to just totally relax and get refreshed before the holidays. This rental was absolutely perfect - beautiful room, immaculate and right on the bay!! The one room was just right. Our only concern as senior drivers was the driveway which was particularly steep. Driving up was tricky as when you reached the top it was extremely difficult to see oncoming traffic from the right. Extreme caution needed, but once we got the hang of it we were fine. Foggy weather however could be a problem, but we would love to rent again at this location. To beautiful to pass up.
