We were impressed by how well-equipped the house was - everything from kitchen needs to beach toys and games. Our granddaughters loved that we only had a short walk to get to the beach, since they wanted to go every day.

Great layout & location!

Just got back yesterday from a short 4 night stay & we’re already wishing we could go back. Went with my family of 3 and our friends (family of 5), there was plenty of room for the 8 of us. The dining table was the perfect size. (A little tight in space btwn the table & wall or walkway, but the overall size was great for all of us to sit for meals.) The 4 adults used it for games at night while the kiddos played video games or watched a movie. Bedrooms were all

Perfect at Bodega “Gull” Home

This home provided the ideal gathering place for the friendships, spanning 50 years, of of 5 girlfriends. The home is immaculate, spacious, and filled with amenities, although we never made use of the hot tub or ping pong table. With great views of the ocean, delightful walks on the beach, and preparation of meals in the well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and quiet neighborhood, our 3-night stay was the perfect getaway! We plan to return! Thank you Debbi for being a superb host!

Beautiful, clean house on the ocean

Came with family for a mini vacation, everything went as expected! The house was extremely clean which was wonderful because we had two babies that were crawling on the floors. The location was beautiful, we enjoyed walks to the beach and the beautiful setting. Only disappointment was not being able to go on the golf course trails, which looked beautiful and would make for a wonderful walk. We knew this ahead of time but it was a bit of a bummer once we were there. The hosts were very responsive and the house supplied all we needed for our trip and more!

Girls trip

We came to Bodega Bay for our annual girls trip. The house was beautiful and fit our group of 8 perfectly. The kitchen was well stocked and we made several meals over the weekend. The hot tub was nice to have, and the ocean views were amazing. We loved the trail access across the street and took several walks down to the beach. Check-in and check-out were both easy & hassle free and communication with Debbie and Dave was clear & helpful. Sonoma Zipline information was included with the welcome email and we booked a tour there and had a blast! We hope to make a return trip next year. ❤️

Girlfriends Getaway

The property location and views are stunning California Coast at Bodega Bay, short walk/hike to the beach. The home was very clean and super well-stocked. Instructions for check-in and use of technology were clear and easy. WiFi was very consistent despite slightly remote location. Special kudos for Property manager Debbie who was fantastic to work with and very responsive. Our trip was a group of five women but definitely room for a larger group. I hope to bring my family in the future, preferably during summer when we can fully enjoy the area.

Bodega Bay's BEST!

Our experience in this home exceeded our expectations. We were expecting a week of relaxation and getting refreshed and recharged for the new year. This lovely and welll-furnished home provided the perfect place for us to do just that. The home was very clean and furnished with everything we needed, far more than most rentals. The quality of the bedding, towels, etc., was only the best. The owner was more than helpful in answering any questions we had and responded quickly. The view was stunning and the access to the beach perfect!!! We would definitely recommend this home to any friend, relative, or stranger!!! We ourselves look forward to a return trip!!!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Dave Tarca

Host profile image
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. I book, maintain and CLEAN. Yes... We do the cleaning. It's the best way to KNOW what's going on in the home. As a professed germaphobe I like knowing I'm providing guests with a clean environment (read reviews).

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. 2021/2022 we hiked Rim2Rim Grand Canyon. 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...and its how we prepped for Grand Canyon and Half Dome. 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

We purchased our first home in Bodega Bay around the corner (on Gull) from this one in 2001 as an investment. We love the area and renting it out to friends, family & guests. Dave actually did all the mechanical on this home when it was built in the 1990's so we knew it was a solid purchase. Add that to the amazing views of the home & the beach trail across the street and we were sold.

What makes this property unique

Our home sits at the crest of Gull Drive facing water. You can see the current moving, whales from living room windows and sounds of waves and seals. Very relaxing area... Gull Drive is the closest street to access trails/beach of anywhere in the harbor.

Two beach trails off of Gull Drive...one right across the street. The other leading to the Bodega Harbour Clubhouse/Bistro & Bar.

FABULOUS views! Located at the 9th Tee . Kids love the Ping-Pong table. I love going for runs around the Harbour. Hills offer quite the challenge. We love to geocache in the area.

Doran Beach is a wonderful gradually sloping beach for kids to play in. We keep a beach pass to Doran Park in the home for Guests that want to use the 'day use' area at the County Park. I also like knowing the Coast Guard is stationed behind the park should someone need assistance. We keep lots of beach supplies in the home for families.
