'Harbor Cutie' is right in the center of Bodega Bay and has been enjoyed immensely by our family and our guests. Many happy memories from our families and our guests over the years happened here!

It has a large 600 deck with a panoramic bay view directly in front of you. For those who love to kayak, they can just bring their kayaks and launch them right across the street or have Bob from Bodega Bay Kayak bring them to you. Want to go on a fishing trip? Just book it and walk across the street and you are on your way. How about horseback riding? Schedule it and have them bring the waiver form and you will be able to walk 5 minutes to your destination. Beaches are within 5 minutes' drive or less away. The closest beach is Doran Beach which is located within 5 minutes drive from the Harbor Cutie and so is Bodega Dune Beach in the back of the property that you can also hike 20-30 minutes. There are at least 4-5 popular restaurants, the Terrapin Creek (was a Michelin star rated), Gourmet Au Bay, Ginochino's Kitchen, Spud Point Crab Company, and Fisherman's Cove, are within walking distance from the Harbor Cutie.

Plenty of outdoor seatings and a big yard with a top of the line Dominator Pro 72" basketball system to keep you entertained. This Harbor Cutie a perfect vacationing spot for any occasion!

This charming escape is conveniently located across the street to Porto Bodega Marina where you can purchase fresh locally caught seafood or book fishing, and crabbing trips depending on the season. Multiple coffee shops, grocery stores, and art galleries are also within easy walking distance or a short drive away.

We are also only minutes from beautiful Bodega Head, the Bodega Marine Lab, and other beautiful beaches.

Relax with a glass of wine on the front deck while watching passing boats as well as numerous unique birds. Family with children will love our enclosed front yard and a newly built playhouse where they can play with toys, shoot some basketballs on the Beast system, enjoy a home-cooked meal with our Weber BBQ overlooking the bay in front, or simply relax on the multiple chairs and a large swing provided at the premise.

PLAYHOUSE rules and guidelines:

The playhouse at the Harbor Cutie is reserved for children 5 feet 4 and under due to the height limit of the loft with an approximately 10 feet high climbing wall. Parental supervision is required. Please text the owner for the code to access the playhouse if your children would like to have access to the playhouse. Please make sure everything is put back to its original position when done and please remove your shoes when playing inside the playhouse since we have little hands that touch the floor. The owners are not responsible for any injuries or accidents caused while using the playhouse.
