Host was very welcoming. House was really comfortable and well appointed. Very well appointed kitchen with good utensils cookware and tools. I appreciated that basic spices and staples like flour were available
The house perfect, the living room and view were the highlight for us. The hosts responded immediately when I had a question and solved the problem, which was me and not the house. The house felt like a home.
The Pacific View House was very well maintained and clean. It had beautiful views of the ocean and great walks around the neighborhood. Short walk to the beach and close to town and restaurants. Great stay with family,
It was a great girlfriend getaway! Cozy, clean house with a very nice hot tub! Communication with the host was friendly and informative. She was very quick to respond! I would stay again!!
The property was very clean, well organized and convenient to both the beaches and town. Ocean views from the upper level living room were unreal. The communication from the owners including recommendations for food and activities was top notch. We appreciated the supplied games to play and the beach parking pass, would definitely stay here again.
We found the perfect escape at this lovely home, with everything we needed for a memorable family getaway. The location was ideal, the beds were plush, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. Our stay was truly unforgettable.
Great location, very easy communication with the owner, perfect home for a group of travelers. Located very near to the golf course and hiking trails. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful home with all the amenities we needed and great views of the ocean. Within walking distance of ocean.4 adults and 2 kids. Easy communication with property management. Thank you for a great weekend!! We will definitely stay here again.
Such a great location. 10 minute walk to Doran Beach. This is the most thoughtfully equipped house and kitchen we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was in perfect working order, and notes throughout the house about any questions a guest might have.. Would definitely stay another time.

We loved our stay at Pacific View! Easy walk to the beach and loved the hot tub and closet full of games! Perfect for the whole family and dogs! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!
The house was clean and very well stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The location was great! Short walk to the beach and about a 5 minute drive to Doran Beach.
Loved the house, it was very clean and nice quiet neighborhood. Perfect for our weekend!! Close to everything in town and great spot for beach access and sunset views. Loved the input from owners for places to go see and eat especially.

Thank you for the kind comments Sandra. I like those makeup cloths too. Bought off Etsy. Tip: Wash separately first few washes if purchase. They hold up well.
For best value contact us directly. I give discounts to repeat guests and cost overall less. Happy 2018!
Perfect vacation home for our family trip to Bodega. Great views, easy access to the beach and well stocked home! Communication was great too! Would return !

About the host
Hosted by Debbie & Dave Tarca
I'm Debbie and my husband Dave is a Plumbing/Heating/Electrical contractor and runs his own business Acrat Plumbing/Heating & Electrical (handy when you run vacation rentals). I run Bodega Bay Rentals, LLC. We own Gull Harbour & Pacific View.
Both college grads (Dave SSU Business/Debbie Pacific Union Nursing). We are active in our kids lives (college/hs). We've owned & managed commercial & residential property in Sonoma Cnty for 25+ yrs and have rented our homes in Bodega Bay since 2001. When not working we enjoy being outside working our ranch, hiking or playing at the beach. We've hiked Half Dome the past several years and have a slew of Spartan, marathons & triathlon's under our belts. If you see me around the harbour, it's usually with one of my furry friends enjoying this beautiful area! If you LOVE hiking...this is a great area...ASK ME!
Our goal...YOU have a seamless vacation in a home that runs top to bottom. We clean/prep so have hopefully headed off any unwanted issues. We are local and available 24/7 to help at any time...even if just a texted question. Dave as a plumbing/electrical contractor....If an issue pops up...we respond asap. Our homes are self entry and guests given door code so entry at your leisure. Lots of extras. Questions don't hesitate to ask.
Why they chose this property
Gull Drive is the closest road to the Beach with two beach trails. We wanted a home as close to water as possible. Great views and an easy walk to beach and clubhouse.
What makes this property unique
Doran Beach is a wonderful location to enjoy with children; Armstrong Woods with its majestic redwood trees; Hwy 1 is a beautiful scenic Drive; the restaurants in the Bodega Bay area are fabulous!; Close drive to everything but far enough to feel like you are away from everything!
As a family that travels we so appreciate when owners have pre-stocked THEIR homes well. I like to think we've done the same. A fully stocked kitchen with foil/ziplocks...dishes/pots & pans that are in GOOD shape...wine/bar glasses...seasonings; family supplies that include games, baby gear, beach supplies.... A home that functions and is clean is what I look for in a home. A hot tub that sparkles and works is a MUST. These are things we look for in homes we rent and wish for the same in our own.
