Newly updated in impeccable modern style, this home in Bodega Bay is a true surfer's paradise, offering beautiful views of Bodega Harbor from its large picture windows. The property, owned and meticulously decorated by avid surfers, is ideally situated across the road from the bay and within walking distance of the town's many shops and restaurants. Amenities like central heat will keep everyone comfortable. At this bungalow, you'll spend your days surfing, beachcombing, and fishing, and come home to a light-filled living space, a wood-burning stove, and an enclosed garden where you can relax, light the grill, and talk about the day's adventures.

What’s nearby:
Surfer's Paradise is located in the heart of beautiful Bodega Bay, just a short stroll from shops, local seafood restaurants, recreational outfitters, and an assortment of art galleries. You can easily go hiking on the Coastal Prairie Trail (one mile north) and have a picnic under the trees; there's even a wheelchair-friendly path with a lovely view of the coastal prairie. Golfers can tee off at the Links at Bodega Harbour (two miles south), a challenging Scottish-style course with spectacular ocean views, as the surfers in your group head to North and South Salmon Creek Beaches (two miles north), both of which are popular with the local surfing community.

Great weekend getaway place
Great little place to stay for a weekend or a week. Great location off the harbor with big windows and scenic views…it’s the harbor, hwy 1 and then the cottage, but traffic noise was almost non existent. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in and the living area was very cozy. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms roomy. Other things, good Wi-Fi, large tv and secluded outdoor seating

What a view
The cottage is beautiful. Having two bedrooms with en-suite that were so well appointed was wonderful. The kitchen is large and has everything you need. And then there is the view out of huge panorama windows over Bodega Bay. Just stunning.

Beautiful November stay
This property was perfect for our family of four with two young kids. Great location to explore the surrounding towns and beaches, and a well-equipped kitchen to make meals at home. Hoping to come back again!

One of our favorite rentals now at the beach. Easy to get to Doran Beach for their leash free park. And, a good kitchen with plenty of room for our food.

Amazing views of the bay from the expansive windows. Nicely updated - very open feeling and fixtures & appliances worked well. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking. Short walk to two small markets and some very good restaurants.

Great stay.
Surfer's Paradise was a great rental with comfortable furniture inside and outside. Great TV options were available. The place featured a full range, toaster oven, and coffee maker. But NO MICROWAVE, which was the appliance I would have used. The beds and bedding were fine. Parking is quite tight, but adequate for one small or medium car. The garden was extremely pleasant. The view of the bay was truly outstanding.

April in Bodega Bay
We loved the house and especially the view and location. If you’re looking for a sleepy seaside town with fantastic views and access to seafood, and beaches this is a great place to visit. The added bonus is that you’re only 40-45 minutes from wine country Sonoma and Napa. The weather is cooler in April but highly recommend since there is less people and traffic.
