About this property

DOG-FRIENDLY, COZY—PERFECT 4 COUPLES—Close to EVERYTHING. SPECIAL DISCOUNTS!

  • THE PERFECT PLACE FOR YOU:

    BAYSIDE BUNGALOW is the perfect place for active singles, young or retired couples, or a small family who wants to be conveniently located near the WATER in Sonoma County's WINE Country—and just wants to RELAX, but.... The Bungalow is ESPECIALLY great for those who love SEAFOOD, wine-tasting and ACTIVITIES, like: SURFING, BOATING, FISHING, KAYAKING, WIND-SURFING, PADDLE-BOARDING, KITE-FLYING, CLAM-DIGGING, HIKING, HORSEBACK RIDING....SITE-SEEING AND, more! Visit the schoolhouse filmed in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The BIRDS” or historical Fort Ross, or go WHALE-WATCHING!

    OR—JUST RELAX:

    Sit on the beach with a glass of Sonoma County WINE, a crab sandwich and a good book. Walk your DOG on the beach or one of many great trails near the Bungalow. Or...curl up with a movie while you listen to the sound of the fog horn and waves breaking at Doran Park and Salmon Creek..

    ACTIVITIES GALORE-ONLY MINUTES FROM THE BUNGALOW:

    TWO BLOCKS AWAY: There are at least 4 GREAT (dog-friendly) restaurants with inside and outside seating and breathtaking views (Gourmet Au Bay, Gnocchios, Crab Pot).

    WHALE WATCHING and crabbing or fishing charters are also walking distance—ONLY 2 blocks away from the Bungalow.

    RENT A KAYAK and just walk out the front door of the Bungalow. In 2 minutes you’ll reach the edge of the bay, where you can get into your kayak and paddle around the bay to watch the sea lions, otters and many, many, many bird species.

    RENT A BICYCLE and peddle out to the Bodega Head (a 4 mile ride from the Bungalow). On your way, have a crab sandwich, calamari or chowder at Fisherman’s Cove, or take a picnic lunch to BODEGA Head and breath in the most SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE OCEAN you’ve ever seen AT THE EDGE OF THE CONTINENT!

    RENT A HORSE at FIVE BROOKS (formerly Chanslor Ranch—1.5 miles from the Bungalow) and take a BEACH ride along the edge of the waves, or go on a WETLANDS trail ride overlooking the ocean and Salmon Creek, or a PICNIC RIDE or SUNSET RIDE to the top of "Eagle View" mountain with a view that stretches south along the edge of the Northern California continent all the way to Pt. Reyes!

    VISIT the town of Bodega (5 miles—Hwy 1 to Hwy 12) and see the "schoolhouse" and church where Alfred Hitchcock filmed scenes shown in "THE BIRDS” movie (available to watch later in your Bungalow). Have a great burger at the Casino and browse the galleries and gift shops in this quaint little, “walk-around” town.

    VISIT the town of Valley Ford (8 miles down Hwy 1) and have a great breakfast at Estero, or an Italian dinner (pasta, seafood or Prime Rib) at Denucchi’s. YUM!!!

    DOG-LOVERS can romp at the newly created, off-leash dog-park beach at Doran Park, hike down to The Pinnacle’s beach, or head up to Goat Rock and Blind beach (off-leash) for a long walk, and a picnic.

    AFTER a GREAT DAY in our seaside town, come back to your cozy Bungalow pull the BLACKOUT CURTAINS closed, and watch a movie (Netflix, Prime, etc.,). Then, a great night’s sleep on a very comfortable, queen-sized, memory-foam topped mattress that 99% of our guests LOVE!!!

    PROVISIONS:

    The Bungalow has a combined living room/kitchen with a big, soft loveseat, lots of pillows, and throws to cuddle up in. The kitchen is fully equipped (pots/pans/dishes, utensils, spices, etc.,) with a dishwasher, refrigerator, stovetop range, microwave, Mr. Coffee pot, toaster and toaster oven. The bathroom has complimentary hygiene supplies, a tub, shower and ample supply of towels, extra towels (and "dog" towels).

    IF YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT’S NOT PROVIDED, JUST ASK and if we have it, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU! CONCIERGE SERVICES AVAILABLE (if desired, ask host about the cost).

    THE ART WORK:

    Oh, and you'll notice lots of original oil and watercolor paintings on the walls done by the owner and friends (they're for sale...).

    REVIEWS:

    The best indication of happy guests? THEY RETURN and refer their friends and family!

    NOTE: FOR A SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT ON LONG STAYS, PLEASE SEND AN INQUIRY TO THE HOST.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was everything we wished for. Close to town, great restaurants and shopping nearby. We took advantage of the hiking trails with our dog. Trying to find a pet friendly location can be difficult. We felt at home and will be returning in the future.

We had a very pleasant stay. The host was friendly, and made sure we had information on places to eat, trail walk and dog friendly beaches. The room was very clean and we had all we needed. There was even a fenced in front yard for the dog. So nice. I would stay there again in a heart beat. Beaches are very close by.
