About this property

Casa Blowdega, Vintage Beach Cottage

Step into a beautifully and tastefully remodeled beach cottage with original wooden floors, lovely mid century details, solid Carerra marble bathroom, and redwood deck. Open living space with dual sliders to redwood deck, one full bedroom with one convertible dining room open to kitchen that sleeps additional 2 people, and sleeper bed in living room along with couches for plenty of comfort and entertaining potential. We like to think of ourselves as a authentic historic cabin. If you want total luxury and bling this likely isn’t for you, but if you want an authentic original cottage with 100 year charm and rustic features like original plank flooring, and lots of character we think you’ll like what we have for you. Thanks for looking and let us know if we can answer any questions for you. Hope to hear from you soon.

The cottage is close to a bait and tackle shop where we got pizza two nights in a row and close to the beach and hikes.

Authentic Bodega experience
We really enjoyed our time at Steve’s house. He kept in contact with us before and during our visit and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is well equipped and really clean. It’s not fancy but very comfortable. It’s an original fisherman’s cabin and has a great feeling about it. We were able to make use of the Sonoma Parks Pass multiple times. Very cool!!! If you’re looking for a base to do some fishing or exploring in the area, this is the place. Highly recommend!!Thanks Steve, we’ll be back soon.

Charming and quirky
We had a very pleasant stay at the Casa Blowdega. As other reviewers have stated, it is not on the water and does not have an ocean view. However the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house has its quirks: no central heat (portable room heaters and a woodstove), small bedroom ( no nightstands, no dresser or drawers), no counter space in the bathroom. But the house is comfortable, clean, and tasteful.

Quaint and Spot On “Old Town” Feel
Your host will not disappoint! Steve was on top of everything and what an authenticity genuine person! He loves the area and it shows! The description of this VRBO is spot on so please don’t expect more. We love “old town” quaint and sometimes quirky, this VRBO fit the bill. Thanks for everything, Steven!

Perfect low key beach house
My family of all age ranges have stayed here before and loved it. We are nature lovers and very low key. It’s the perfect stay for exploring all that Bodega bay has to offer and clean and close to everything.

Weekend getaway
Stephen was great to work with. The home was clean, cozy and in a great location. My wife and 3 children really felt comfortable when we were in the house. With a family of 5 there was just enough space to spread out during the time we were actually in the house. At night, my wife and I slept in the bedroom and each child got a couch. We just brought Sleeping bags for the kids . The place had a nice touch of old decor and modern updates. We will definitely stay there again and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Bodega Bay. sleeping bags

Quiet Stay and Walk to Bodega Bay
We enjoyed the quiet and cozy home. We could walk down to the store easily and the drive to the ocean beach is not too far. The bed was comfortable and the shower/bath worked well. The bathroom sink could use a better hot water, otherwise all was very nice!

Nicely decorated cottage
We loved the mid-century modern furniture and decor. The beach cottage was clean and cozy. The back deck was a good place to enjoy morning coffee and the cool, clean air. My friend and I thought the front entrance pergola and planter could use an update - as it would truly be a nice welcoming.

Why they chose this property

A quiet getaway up the hill away from the highway, where you can hear the sea lions bark, the birds sing, and the coyote's howl... We think it has a little bit of everything you want on the North Coast!

What makes this property unique

Peek a boo views, fresh air, privacy, and wonderful access to beaches, hiking, great food, and 5 minute walk to grocery store. Boat trips available, fresh fish, and much more!
