Take in unforgettable views of Bodega Bay, Bodega Head, and the open ocean beyond at this light-filled home in Bodega Harbour. This is the Northern California Coast at its finest, with a trail across the street leading down to the beach and a private hot tub waiting to welcome you back home.

Bodega Harbour is a beautiful community in Bodega Bay built around a Scottish-links-style golf course, which you'll have access to half a mile down the road. The house is about two miles from the wharves and restaurants in town and a few miles more from the rugged beaches between Bodega Bay and Jenner. This is also the perfect spot for day trips - to oyster farms on Tomales Bay, the windswept shores of Point Reyes National Seashore, or even Muir Woods.

This home is wonderfully unique in the windows and nooks that seem to wait around every corner, providing lovely spots to escape and relax. The great room is upstairs on the top floor, offering generous seating, picture windows that frame the water, and glass doors that lead to the deck. Prepare homemade meals in the kitchen with stainless steel appliances and gorgeous countertops, sit down for dinner at sunset while watching for whale spouts on the horizon, and stream movies in the evenings in the warmth of the pellet stove.

Spend your mornings with coffee and a newspaper outside in the sheltered courtyard, escape for an hour or two to send emails at the desk workspace, and reserve the evening hours for stargazing from the hot tub on the back deck. When it's time to turn in, you'll find that each bedroom has a TV, and three have en suite bathrooms - including a primary suite with a balcony overlooking the bay. There's another sleeping space in the remodeled basement, which includes two tri-fold futon mattresses.

Clean and comfortable with a great ocean view.

Blue Horizon is a clean, comfortable place to stay for a family vacation. The dining room and living room have a great view of the ocean, and you can walk to the beach (less than a half-mile walk).

Must experience location and awesome view.

The beach and golf shop are a short walk (a bit hilly) and their bistro/bar was a pleasant escape from the in-laws. Very short drive into Bodega to check out the restaurants and small shops. Nice getaway from big city life.

Gorgeous views

We had a wonderful few days at this home. Furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed. Almost every window in the house boasts gorgeous views. It is an easy walk to the beach and quick drive to neighboring areas. I hope to return!

Bright and spacious. Kitchen stocking needs more attention.

Group of four retired couples returning every year for the last 27 years. Location and view are great. Cleanliness did not get the highest score among us. Kitchen needs better stocking like a measuring cup and more than six wine glasses for eight guests. Large serving plates will be good for a meal to share among eight people. There should be a standard to follow what should be stocked in the kitchen and someone in the management should follow through.

Blue Horizon is broken

Blue Horizon is a beautiful home with panoramic views of the ocean in Bodega Bay. Unfortunately there were many broken items in the house-that left our trip unsatisfactory. First there was a note left by housekeeping not to sit in the wicker chair in the main room it was broken. Then we noticed that the matching wicker couch was also broken. Leaving us only benches on the perimeter of the room to sit on. None of which faced the tv or the ocean view. The main blind (to the beautiful ocean view ) was broken in the down position, with the broken cord laying on a chair next to the blind. We stayed in the master bedroom, with the beautiful ocean view, the king size bed was sagging so bad that we kept rolling to the middle all night. We changed room for the next few nights to the back of the house. No view. 😔 There were so many nice things, but so many broken things. Would not recommend this home. We won’t go be going back.

The location, view, and near by amenities in the town are hard to beat. We stayed here last year and will do so again next year. If you’re looking for quiet relaxation and good family time this is the place.

Wonderful views and ample gathering area for our group of 9. Easy walk to the beach. Pretty much everything worked. Great communication before and after the rental. Offered early check-in and late check-out (for 115) before we asked.

Amazing views!! The house has a lot of levels and angles which was odd but was also good in providing private spaces for everyone in our group. The listing indicates 5 bedrooms. We actually had to call the management to find the 5th room. You have to walk through the garage (which had typical garage cement floor, dust, spider webs, washer/dryer and ping pong table) to access it. No one in our group wanted to be there for good reason. It felt like a basement, slightly below ground level and a weird isolating vibe. However it was well equipped with a kitchenette and full bathroom.

Beautiful house

This was a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood! The house was quite large and clean for our family vacation. The separate bedroom and bathroom off the garage was perfect for a little quiet for some family members since the rest of the house was full of little kids. The fenced in outdoor areas were great for the kids too.

Peaceful oceanfront retreat

My recent two-night stay at this stunning oceanfront property was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the breathtaking ocean views—waking up to the sound of waves and watching the sunset from the living room was pure magic.The property was impeccably clean, with modern furnishings and everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering both privacy and easy access to nearby attractions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful escape by the sea.

Save by the view

The location was perfect, 5 minutes walk to the beach with breathtaking view.Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about the condition of the house. There were ants almost everywhere, especially in the kitchen and the sitting area upstairs. There was a dirty knives in the drawer. Most of the dishes, especially the serving dishes had to be re-washed. The kettle has a brown chunk of something in it. The worse part was the ants on the beds, the got into our bags, and a very large stain in the bedsheet down in the room by the garage. There were stains on the sitting area upstairs, blinds and walls.i reported this issue via text messages with pictures. Someone was supposed to call but no one ever did.The house is very unique and we don't mind the stairs, but definitely need some love and care.

The view is worth the rent by itself

Seriously, amazing view of the bay. But when you aren't staring at that, the rest of the home is well laid out and extremely comfortable. Works great for 5 of us, but could easily accomodate more. Absolutely recommend.

Perfect place to spend time with family and if you needed time alone there is space for that. It was well stocked with supplies and we didn’t have to drive far to get to the beach.
