Best views on Sonoma Coast!Oceanfront,private hot tub, fire pit, pets considered

After a day of beach combing, Sonoma Coast trail hiking, crab or chowder eating, wine sipping and art collecting retire to your deck for a sunset sip and a lighting of the oceanfront fire pit on the deck. Enjoy views of the stars in the dark sky from the private hot tub. 2 bedrooms and baths are on the top floor. All beds are queen sized to help you drift away to sleep as you listen to the waves.

10/10 Excellent Definitely the best views
Spectacular views!! Easy communication with the host even though she was traveling. Loved the gas fireplace, hot tub that faces the pasture and a fire pit on the Ocean side she had ready to light. This cottage is comfortable but not luxurious. We were good with this because we wanted our Labrador to accompany us. Many of the restaurants close early so plan dinners at home or order takeout to enjoy the sunset. Be aware there are stairs up to the cottage which can slow down a retired senior. Wi-Fi worked well. Thank you! we would love to return soon.

Awesome oceanfront location on a beautiful and serene beach.
This property is a fantastic welcoming stay and an outstanding oceanfront location experience for vacationing near both Bodega Bay and Jenner on the coast in Sonoma County! The clean, comfortable and nostalgic setting is perfect setting for some kick-back R&R, yet also convenient to all the varied activities that this area has to offer. It is a wonderful vacation and coastal oceanic experience for all ages to enjoy.

Good house, great setting
Comfortable modest home, a bit dated but lovely nonetheless, perched on a spectacular setting above the ocean, a constant welcome presence in our stay there. Very nice hot tub on the road / farm side so can't combine the two (but can hear a symphony of frogs!). Hosts super communicative and helpful. Enjoyed hikes both north and south, with fresh local seafood lunches and returning to the marvelous perch for spectacular sunsets. Note wifi poor (as disclosed on listing transparently). Recommend home and locale highly

Met our expectations in every way
Easy, friendly and accurate communication with our host. Beautiful location on the cliff top overlooking sea,rocks and beach. Cooked great meals in the kitchen and played board games in front of fires- both inside and out. Location was great for hiking and a short drive to fun breakfast, lunch and dinner places on the ocean. We will become regulars:)

Incredible house and views
Words cannot describe the views from this house. Simply stunning and so beautiful. The house sits right on a cliff overlooking the beach and the ocean. An endless view of the coast. Just wow. I was speechless! The photos really do not do this place justice. And the view is a bit visible from the living room area and one of the bedrooms as well. We had a great time! The kitchen is huge and had water, coffee, and all utensils and plates etc you will need. We were there only one night but it was well worth the price. We also used the hot tub, which overlooked the other side (did not face the ocean). But it was still a nice view. At night, in complete darkness, you get an amazing, also vast, view of the stars. I could stare at them forever. It was truly beautiful, as much as the ocean views. The only issue was the toilet in one of the bathrooms (the en suite one). It has a very weak flush, therefore we did not use it for fear of clogging the plumbing. Overall, we would stay here again. It was the best 2-day trip we’ve had in a long time. Highly, highly recommend.

Beautiful beachside cottage! This was a spur of the moment trip and we felt we found a special gem on the beach. House was extremely comfortable! The host was very hospitable and provided some fun things to do close by. Definitely plan to prepare meals as you don’t want to leave the house for too much as the views are just amazing 🤩… thank you again, we will be back soon for sure

Serenity by the sea
The views from this home are breathtaking! We had everything to enjoy a getaway off the grid. We were very comfortable in this welcoming home. It was very clean and Debbie had everything set up for us to take full advantage of all the amenities. Debbie was very accommodating and communicated with us to make sure our journey there and stay were great. There are several outdoor spaces , a built in grill, patio area , hot tub, and an ocean view firepit. We enjoyed a sunset by the firepit and wine. Your close to wineries, Russian river, and scenic coastal drives. Restaurants and grocery are all close by as well. Debbie is an excellent host and takes time to make sure you enjoy her property. We definitely recommend this home as a choice to stay in this area.

Property manager was hands down AMAZING! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for ocean view, ocean access, the sound of waves crashing all day and night on one side and beautiful rolling fields and frogs croaking at night on the other side. It’s heaven on earth.

It’s All About the View
The dynamite feature of this rental is the location right on the coast and view from its cliff top location. Beware if you are afraid of heights! The sound of the waves is so soothing. The property itself is modest. Don’t expect high end linens, towels or high quality furnishings. What is there is comfortable but maybe not what you would expect at this rental price. I took away one star in cleanliness for dirty windows. I know it’s a battle to keep windows clean in the sea mist, but for this rate and cleaning fee charge, the view windows should be cleaned for each rental to enjoy. Cheryl was awesome helping with suggestions for restaurants and activities. It may be helpful for renters to know there is a set of stairs to climb to enter the unit.

Great Stay
My wife and I have been going to Bodega Bay for many years now and this place was one of our favorites. Impossible to get any closer to the ocean and a one minute walk to an uncrowded beach. My 2-year old daughter and I did some "deck camping" and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The indoor bedrooms are also very comfortable. Great location just north of Bodega Bay - away from the crowds, but only 4-5 minutes to get into town. Hosts were very accommodating with excellent communication. Thanks for having us!

Last minute getaway
We rented this property at last minute to avoid smoke in our area. Location is great but you cannot use the stairs, you see in a photo, to get down to the beach. It just takes a short walk to the beach though. AC didn’t work but opening windows worked to cool down the house. Bring your own logs for fire pit. The logs there were outside and not covered. The rate is quite high for what it is IMHO, however we were able to book this house in a wonderful location at last minute because of it, though.

Escaping the Heat of the Sacramento Valley
What an awesome getaway. We were fortunate enough to have a sunny day in our arrival to Bodega Bay, and found plenty of activities to keep us busy until check-in, thanks to suggestions from the owner. Hiking at Bodega Head was perfect with a stop to pick up chowder to bring home on the way back- they do close at 5, like, seriously..we were there at 4:50, and were told we were going to be the last customers! The house was so great, we didn’t want to leave, so opted to cook our own dinners and only ventured out to hit the markets and one wine tasting at Sonoma Coast Winery in town. The beach below the property is great, especially at low tide- we all especially loved seeing all the starfish, and taking a long walk on the beach. We also hit the Farmer’s Market on Sunday and picked up some fun items to bring home. The ocean air and the comfort and safe feeling at the house made this the perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

The cottage is not that far from stores and restaurants about 10 minutes very convenient as well for. We really enjoyed the fire pit being that it’s a little chilly at night and having bbq kitchen was nice but the best thing about the cottage overall is the view it was amazing to wake up to that and to just having it in front of you was breathtaking. I’m already looking at the calendar to decide when we can go back it was that amazing. Thank you Cheryl for everything you are wonderful host.

Pictures don’t do it justice
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful coastal cottage. The pictures certainly do not do this place justice as it is difficult to capture the beauty of the dramatic coastline and intimate setting along highway 1. We were able to utilize both sides the expansive deck allowing for feeling of more livable space. The fire pit and BBQ overlooking the dramatic coastline and the kitchen and hot tub overlooking the rolling hills provides a very nice contrast for a perfect relaxing getaway!
