Bodega Bay~Walk to Beach~Ocean Views~Pool Table~Dog Friendly~Beach House!

10/10 Excellent
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have returned to the Bodega House three times now. Words cannot describe how much we enjoy it there, feel at peace and feel like we are “home”. We hope to return each year, if not twice a year. The property and location is very special to both my husband and I."
