Modern mid-century-inspired, Deer Ranch
Amazing retreat in the Redwoods - the property is quiet, has beautiful views of the redwoods with both outdoor sun and shade spots, and has a cool interior. Pool was perfect for cooling off on a hot day. I would stay again! We stayed in May, and while the yard was mowed, it had a type of grass that was very prickly so not barefoot or dog friendly - so we weren’t fully able to enjoy the expansive yard space.

Award-Winning Forest Getaway: @thesearanchhouse
Absolutely beautiful spot for a relaxing couple of days outside of the city. Gorgeous property surrounded by tall tress - if you're looking for a peaceful getaway this should be at the top of your list. Looking for an opportunity to return.

Panoramic Ocean views, Walk to Beach & hot tub
Lots of sea birds at beaches. Deer and a bobcat seen near the house. Very cool

Dillon Beach Surf Cottage
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Dennis and Dan’s amazing cottage! The view was amazing and the beach less than a 5 mins walk away. We walked down to the beach for long walks with our dogs twice daily, they had a ball! It’s wonderful to be able to let your dogs run off leash on a beach, there are so few places in CA that you can. We had planned on venturing out but found ourselves glued to the deck people watching, listening to the waves and chilling out. The cottage was immaculate! We’ve never stayed in a place that is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The hosts have literally thought of everything! We couldn’t leave without first booking for next year.

Rustic Beach Cottage with Hot Tub on Tomales Bay
Absolutely Loved Our Stay at Rustic High Tide Cottage! This place is a dream for nature lovers! The location is perfect for hiking and kayaking—so much to explore right from the doorstep. Falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing beneath you is pure magic. We woke up to beautiful natural light streaming in every morning, and even got the occasional friendly moo from nearby cows—such a charming touch! The host was thoughtful and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Country Studio Cottage Sanctuary
This is the perfect getaway spot! The photos don't do it justice, the place is surrounded by nature and has almost a treehouse feel to it. We loved the decor and felt the place had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be back here!

Oceanside Redwood Retreat with hot tub
We loved our stay! The listing was very private and peaceful!

Elsewhere - Dreamy getaway in the Redwoods
Even cuter than the photos, perfect for a weekend getaway and Sky was a fantastic host! Will definitely be returning!
House rentals in Bodega Bay

Pelican Hill House
Our stay at Pelican Hill House was peaceful and the house had everything we could need. We especially enjoyed the art supplies, board games, books, and yoga mat. Spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable. This was a magical stay that allowed us to disconnect and recharge. I seriously can’t recommend this airbnb enough. I hope to return soon!

Hansen's Bodega Bay Getaway-Walk to Beach!
Truly enjoyed our stay. Had a great time walking to the beach, seeing wildlife in the yard and neighborhood, and exploring the area.

Ocean Front Beach Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace
Cannot complain such a beautiful place for me and my wife’s anniversary great views and great walks loved it

Tomales Bay: Tranquility, Bay Views, Kayaks &
Our stay in Debra’s home was fantastic. My friends couldn’t stop saying thank you for finding this beautiful home. Right on the water, beautiful views, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed every minute

Urban Farm House in Tomales
Linda’s home was a beautiful and spacious cottage in a very small town. There’s not much to do around, it’s the perfect place to stay if you’re looking to have a quiet weekend. Everything was clean and functioning, and Linda communicated very well as needed. Note that the bed is very small, something to be aware of if you’re sharing with a partner.

Large 4 BR coastal home with amazing ocean views!
The house is beautiful, clean and spacious for family of seven. Highly recommended if you want peace and quiet. The side patio is a nice place for a morning coffee with a scenic view of the ocean and the hills. I would enjoy coming back to this house again.

Sea-renity Panoramic Ocean Views, Fireplace, Spa
The Sea-renity House is one of the nicest homes I’ve had the chance to stay in. The views are incredible, and it’s a perfect spot for kids with plenty of space to enjoy. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, couldn’t have been easier. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Amazing View and Location!4bed/2bath
Such a beautiful home and was even more gorgeous than in the photos. Host was so responsive and kind and her home is absolutely stunning, a great place for a weekend retreat from the city. Thanks for having us!
Dog friendly homes in Bodega Bay

What a View!
We really enjoyed our time here and extended for an extra night. Majestic views of tomales bay/dillon beach from all rooms/deck and 5 min drive down hill to dillon beach which is dog friendly. The dogs had a blast splashing around in the natural tide pools at low tide.

Argonautica: Oceanfront Sea Ranch Escape
Jason’s place is even better than described, Sea Ranch is a serene beautiful environment and the home blends right into it. Inside feels like a true home with all the amenities, high quality finishes and attention to detail throughout. The views are even better you can see the ocean from almost every room in the house, the sunsets are incredible. The kitchen is well stocked with seasonings we cooked dinner all 4 nights of our stay. The cedar hot tub was perfect and the stars at night were amazing. It’s just 5 minutes to the lodge if you want to grab a bite to eat for breakfast, or 10 minutes to Gualala if you need to grab something from the store. You can walk right from the house along the ocean and to smugglers. Don’t miss an opportunity to stay here for the best Sea Ranch experience

Ocean Hideaway: a Romantic Retreat!
Lisa is an absolute five star host. She was kind in proactively sending us the instructions to her property, house rules and checkout instructions (all were very simple!). The property is a true gem. On the cliff, with a fabulous view and so private and relaxing. There is a market that is small but full of necessities near by that sell tasty sandwiches as well, which was a plus (we forgot to bring a few things!). Not too far from SF. I would love to return.

Oceanfront Home & Private Beach Access
Joanna’s house was a wonderful place to stay with our family. The view is amazing, even better than the pictures, we were content to just sit and relax looking out at the ocean for most of the time. The yard was great for our dog to run around in, and the nearby beach was really fun to explore as well. We hope to return soon!

Sunburst Ocean Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Ted’s place. The home and grounds are stunning, and in a close location to a beach and short drive to town. Ted was very helpful and the trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!

BodegaBayBeachHome:Ocean & Beach-Astonishing Views
This house was perfect for our family trip! We prepared all meals there and the kitchen had all the supplies and utensils we needed. Beds comfortable and the reclining sofas were great. Beach access right across the street! We also enjoyed the pool table. Weather sunny, which was a bonus. I thank you for the use of the house and definitely recommend it for a family or friends trip! Debbie from Orangevale, Ca

Eco Luxury Private Sanctuary / The Farmhouse Oasis
This Airbnb is incredible. Location wise, it’s a quick drive to so many different town centers and parks (Redwoods and beaches are close by and the towns of Forestville, Sebastopol and Occidental all have great restaurants/shops). It’s also a quick walk to the West County Regional Trail (really nice if you’re a big walker/runner), many different wineries and downtown Graton. The place itself was pristine. The pool is quite large and there are so many cozy nooks inside and outside to nap/read/rest in. Lots of helpful instructions and labels made the house/amenities easy to navigate and use. So comfortable and beautiful. I’d stay here over and over again!

Fun, sun and serenity by the sea
We stayed here for our daughter’s wedding weekend and it was perfect. We loved all of the art in the home and the fact that our dog, who was the ring bearer, was able to stay here with us. Also, the deck is a really cool space to hang out!
