5 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Bodega Bay, California

Summary:

Soak in your private hot tub as the sun sets over Bodega Bay, then retreat to the cedar sauna for total relaxation. This 5-bedroom home perches above The Links golf course with sweeping ocean views from nearly every room. Sleeps 10 across three levels. Just a 10-minute walk to Doran Beach's protected sands and 5 minutes to the golf course. Mornings here start with coffee on the deck, watching the fog lift to reveal the Pacific stretching endlessly before you.
The Space:

Three levels of windows track the Pacific from this five-bedroom perch above The Links at Bodega Harbour — ocean one way, fairways the other, and a hot tub and cedar sauna waiting between them. Five bedrooms and four baths sleep 10, with a twelve-seat dining table for the group dinner that anchors the weekend.
Plush sofas and leather chairs face the gas fireplace, the picture windows framing the Pacific so persistently that the smart TV usually loses. Striking blue-black granite meets light wood cabinetry on the gourmet kitchen's island, with stainless seating for four at breakfast and prep. The dining table seats twelve beneath a black iron chandelier — and a wet bar with filtered water finishes off an entertaining footprint built for the group that takes over a five-bedroom home for a long weekend.
OUTDOOR LIVING

Your wrap-around deck features weathered wood and cable railing preserving panoramic views. Settle into Adirondack chairs for morning coffee, then fire up the gas grill for dining at the table for six. The private hot tub is perfectly positioned for sunset over the bay.
SOUTH HARBOUR SETTING

The Robert Trent Jones-designed Links are a five-minute walk, the access path to Doran Beach's protected sand ten. Spud Point Crab Company ladles its legendary chowder 1.9 miles away, waterfront dining lines the harbor at two miles, and the Pinnacle Gulch Trail drops into coastal hiking a half mile from the door.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodate your group in style. The primary king suite features vaulted ceilings with golf course and ocean views and an en-suite walk-in shower. Two more kings and two queens feature wood-paneled accents and sliding barn doors, each with its own TV. Sleeps 10.

Guest Access:

Soak in the private hot tub on the wrap-around deck while ocean and golf-course views fill the wall of windows, then duck into the sauna for the foggy days. You've got the whole home with a gas fireplace and exposed beams under vaulted ceilings. Punch in the keypad code on arrival; the garage fits two small cars or one larger, with overflow on the street.
The Neighborhood:

Your South Harbour neighborhood perch puts you just a 5-minute walk from The Links at Bodega Harbour, the Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course with its Scottish-style links and ocean views. Stroll 10 minutes to reach the access path to Doran Beach, where 2 miles of protected sandy shoreline invite beachcombing and kite flying. The famous Spud Point Crab Company sits 1.9 miles away — arrive early for their legendary crab sandwiches and clam chowder. Within 2 miles you'll find waterfront dining at The Boat House (2.0 mi), Gourmet Au Bay (2.0 mi), and Ginochio's Kitchen (2.0 mi). For morning coffee, Captain Davey's Coffee and Ice Cream (1.1 mi) serves excellent brews. The Pinnacle Gulch Trail (0.5 mi) offers dramatic coastal hiking, while Bodega Head Trail (2.0 mi) provides California's best shore-based whale watching from December through May. Pick up groceries at Diekmann's Bay Store (1.9 mi) or Pelican Plaza Grocery & Deli (2.0 mi).
Getting Around:

Bodega Bay is about 90 minutes from San Francisco — a beautiful drive up 101 and out Highway 1 through farmland and coastal ranches. You'll have parking for 2 cars in the garage (small cars) or 1 larger vehicle, plus street parking for 2 more cars. A car makes exploring the Sonoma Coast effortless — it unfolds for miles in either direction. Cell service is light along the coast, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is a good idea.
Other Things to Note:

The home stays naturally cool thanks to coastal breezes and doesn't have air conditioning — even summer highs rarely exceed 70°F here. The primary renter must be 25 or older. Take advantage of your private sauna after beach walks or golf rounds. Cell service can be spotty along the coast, but the home's Wi-Fi keeps you connected when needed. Summer fog is common in the mornings but often burns off by afternoon — that's part of Bodega Bay's coastal charm. Don't miss the whale watching from Bodega Head (best December-May) or the Hitchcock filming locations in the town of Bodega, just 5 miles inland. Layer up even in summer — the coast stays cool year-round.

Located in Bodega Bay, this vacation home is next to a golf course and by the sea. Bodega Harbour Golf Links and Links at Bodega Harbour are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Wild Flour Organic Gardens and Luther Burbank's Experiment Farm. Sebastopol Center for the Arts and Rubicon Adventures are also worth visiting. Take an opportunity to explore the area for water adventures such as fishing.
