Dog-Friendly Beach Cottage | BBQ+Patio+King Bed | House in Bodega Bay
2 Bedroom House in Old Town, Bodega Bay
Summary:
Tucked away in the heart of Bodega Bay’s old village, Taylor Made Cottage is a coastal escape where charm meets modern refinement. This classic gem offers a front-row seat to the bay’s shifting tides and golden-hour glows. With a new kitchen, a gas hearth, and a large wraparound porch, the cottage is a haven for those looking to trade the rush of daily life for the slow rhythm of the coast. Wander to cafés on the waterfront, or find yourself on the sands of nearby beaches in mere minutes.
The Space:
Taylor Made Cottage is a genuine piece of Bodega Bay history, offering a quiet retreat in the heart of the town’s original village. Nearly a century old, this single-story home has been carefully updated to preserve its classic character while adding the modern comforts that make a stay easy. It isn’t a grand or hollow space; instead, it feels settled and snug, designed for those who appreciate the slower pace of the Sonoma Coast.
The living room offers a warm, immediate welcome as you step inside. It’s a comfortable space where the gas fireplace becomes the natural center of the home, especially on those misty coastal evenings when you just want to settle in and get cozy. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated to make meal prep easy and efficient. It is a practical space perfectly suited for a slow coastal breakfast or a dinner made with fresh fish from the local docks and vibrant veggies from the nearby farm market. The layout is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, flowing directly into the dining area so the cook is always part of the conversation. A small coffee and game area is tucked away nearby, keeping your morning essentials and evening entertainment within easy reach.
For rest, the primary bedroom is designed as a true sanctuary, anchored by a king bed and a quiet corner workstation for those who need to check in with the world before heading to the beach. This room is a self-contained escape with its own ensuite bathroom, which holds much of the cottage’s original charm. It features a classic clawfoot tub for soaking, a pedestal sink, and a unique porthole window that shines light through the house's historic frame. The second bedroom is located just off the dining area and is equally comfortable with a queen bed, making it a peaceful spot for guests. Nearby, the main bathroom serves double duty as a laundry room, offering the practical convenience of a washer and dryer in a bright, clean space.
The outdoor areas are perhaps the most used "rooms" of the house. The wraparound porch is the perfect vantage point for watching the village wake up with a cup of coffee, or catching the sunset over the water at the end of the day. Around the back, a separate deck offers a bit more privacy with outdoor couches and a BBQ, providing a sheltered spot to grill and relax among the succulents. Whether you are sitting on the front porch looking at the bay or walking the short distance to the local shops and cafes, We'd love to host you at Taylor Made Cottage.
Guest Access:
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire cottage and its private outdoor spaces.
Note on Parking: While this historic property does not have a designated onsite driveway, there is a wealth of easy, unrestricted street parking available immediately adjacent to the home.
The Neighborhood:
Taylor Made Cottage is positioned in the quintessential "Old Bodega Bay," just a short, scenic stroll from the water’s edge. Immerse yourself in the local culture by walking to nearby artisan cafés, eclectic shops, and renowned seafood spots.
For the adventurer, the location is unbeatable. The rugged beauty of South Salmon Creek Beach, the rolling dunes of Bodega Dunes, and the calm shores of Doran Beach are all within a two-mile radius—perfect for tide-pooling, surfing, or meditative sunset walks.
The cottage also serves as a gateway to the wider wonders of Northern California. Take a scenic drive north to the misty cliffs of Jenner, east to the world-class vineyards of the Russian River Valley, or south to the wild vistas of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for exploring Bodega Bay and the surrounding Sonoma Coast.
Many restaurants, cafés, and the waterfront are within walking distance of the home, while nearby beaches and scenic coastal spots are just a short drive away.
