About this property

Renovated home w/ breathtaking views of the bay and new hot tub

Newly renovated inside and out - Escape to the coast at this 3 bedroom/2.5 bath home with breathtaking views of Bodega Bay . Take a moment to just watch the fishing boats coming in from the days catch through the channel as you sit out on the deck in the new hot tub. Very short walking distance to many restaurants and shops including Terrapin Creek, Gourmet Au Bay and Ginnochios. Getting ready for your wedding or attending one at the Secret Garden? This home is a short walk down the street to the venue. In the evening, listen to the fog horn by the patio fire on the expansive deck with spectacular views of the bay. Walk from the house over to Spud Point Marina to grab a view of the boats and a bowl of clam chowder. Or stay in to use all of the new appliances and cookware to cook a home cooked meal. Plenty of parking at the house as well.

Whatever you decide to do with days with us, you will feel right at home at The Base to Lorrainbow.

Fantastic rental house for family

This home is beautiful! Wonderful views out of picture windows, hot tub on the deck, ping pong and Foosball table for the kids, huge kitchen, etc. The owners have been very thoughtful in providing anything you could need and the location is fantastic. Beds are comfy, plenty of towels and linens, and we even saw deer right outside the house a few times!

Large fun house with a view and Hot Tub!

We stayed here with family to celebrate a birthday. It was a nice place to hang out when we weren’t out at restaurants or discovering new beaches and views. The foosball table was fun and the hot tub very relaxing. The bar upstairs had a view and we ended up congregating there or on the large sectional. Plenty of space in this house! The check in and out procedure ms were very easy and clear.

Fabulous home in Bodega Bay

We just spent four nights in this beautiful home. We have used VRBO for over 20 years, and this home is in the top five. It is very clean, airy, lots of windows and wonderful lighting. The house is up a small driveway, just high enough so that there is a panoramic view of the bay. Easy walk to the harbor, the back of the house is all open space with lots of trees.It is less than 10 minutes to the Links at Bodega Harbour. The layout is great for a family, our son and his family stayed on the bottom floor with their one year old, and it was very quiet with complete privacy. The kitchen is incredible, very well stocked and plenty of dishes and glasses. The hot tub looks over the bay, perfect way to relax after staying in a perfect house!

Excellent Home, Superb Location

The check in process was seamless, the cleaners were there just prior to our arrival- so the home was warm and clean! The kitchen was well appointed, as were the bathrooms. The only negative was the batteries in the front door lock died and the hot tub wouldn’t heat up. However every other aspect of this rental was perfect, especially the ping pong and foosball tables- so much fun! Dominoes and puzzles to use…Overall fantastic place to stay!

Spacious and updated house with a great view of the bay

Great place for a family vacation. The house is clean and gorgeous and seems brand new. The kitchen is huge and well-equipped with appliances. The sectional couch is big enough for the family with a view of the bay. The master bed is very comfortable and the bath has a deep tub. We were impressed with everything and highly recommend this comfortable house with great views and a hot tub.

A Perfect Stay in Bodega Bay

The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. The family/living room is spectacular, providing a wonderful view of Bodega Bay. The large master bedroom is impressive. The very quiet neighborhood and comfortable beds made it possible for all the members of my family to have a great night sleep. Communication with our hostess could not have been better. We would love to return.

A well stocked wonderful house

Lovely views, comfortable house with everything we needed. The only downside was the light in the master bathroom was broken or very dim and there was sand in the hot tub from the previous guests. Everything else was fabulous- so well organized and lots of games and fun options like hot tub! We will return!!

Birthday Celebration

Nice place! Plenty of room for our party of 7. Great view of the bay and the resident doe and her baby twice a day. Quiet, well stocked, and the spa was a nice perk! Very nice emails from the owner to keep me informed. My family and I had a great time celebrating a milestone birthday. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks Tracie!

About the host

Host profile image
Bodega Bay is my favorite place to be. I grew up spending many days on its beaches and enjoying its clam chowder. It's such an honor to be sharing it with other families and groups of friends who want to escape to its magical sand dunes, soothing fog horns, and refreshing ocean air.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather was a commercial fisherman at Bodega Bay. He and my grandmother built this home in 1992. He named his boat Lorrainbow, after my grandmother. Though he passed in 2008, my grandmother stayed in the home until this year of 2022. I had always wanted to keep it in the family. My husband and I bought the home and renovated the entire exterior this summer with new siding, windows, roof and deck. We also did an extensive amount of renovation on the inside of the home, including new floors, appliances and lighting.

When it was time for my grandfather to come in from the days catch, my grandmother would use the CB radio to call out..."Base to Lorrainbow - it's time to come home".

This is a very special place and I do hope when you come to stay at The Base to Lorrainbow, you too feel as if you have come home.

What makes this property unique

Once you arrive, it will be hard to take your eyes off the view this home offers. Every window has a view, whether it's looking at the ocean or looking at the open sand dunes in the back of the house that are undeveloped and filled with wildlife and native plants.

From here you can walk up the street to Terrapin Creek or Roadhouse Cafe. You can also walk to the Secret Garden, Gourmet Au Bay and Ginocchio's restaurant - all about 5 minutes away. The location of this home makes it the perfect place for a walking adventure no matter which way you decide to go.

The home itself boasts new furniture, flooring, linens, new patio furniture on both decks with gas fire pit, new hot tub, cookware and appliances. There is a ping pong table and foosball table. And every bedroom and living space has a tv. Plenty of space for multiple families to spread out or to gather together.
