About this property
Mandolin Wind - Private retreat with filtered ocean view and hot tub
*** COVID-19 *** Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are taking extra precautions for each rental. We no longer allow quick turns (guests arrive on the same day as last guest depart) between rentals. Our minimum is 28 hours between rentals to allow extra time for cleaning/sanitation. We follow CDC guidelines which includes wiping down all commonly touched surfaces including lockbox, door knobs, light switches, TV controls, bath and kitchen fixtures, etc. Every countertop is disinfected with a spray sanitizer and allowed to air dry. We, of course, leave it up to the guests to follow their own guidelines as far as masks, social distancing, etc.
About a 10 minute walk to the beach! A single level house situated on a quarter acre lot with great privacy. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and is equipped for serious cooking. Comfortably furnished home with new Hot Springs hot tub and loungers on the large deck offering views of the ocean and Bodega Head.
Mandolin Wind is ideally laid out for two couples or a small family. Generous master suite has a king-sized bed, private bath and 36" TV. The guest bedroom has queen-sized bed, 36" TV and adjacent bath. Top quality linens, hair dryers, washer/dryer, ironing board/iron are all provided.
The kitchen includes a great gas stove for the cook, slab granite counter tops and new stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator. Next to the well-equipped kitchen is the dining area, which comfortably seats six. You will also find a wonderful selection of cook books and elegant artwork throughout the house.
The large living room features a gas fireplace, high ceilings, 50" HD TV and DVD player with internet connection. There are many windows and sliding door leading to the deck with hot tub and lots of space for relaxing. There is a Weber gas BBQ and table for outdoor dining.
Mandolin Wind has a high speed internet connection via Comcast cable to accommodate people who want to get away but have to stay connected. There is a wireless router to allow use of all your internet devices.
You can enjoy a round of world-class golf, then have dinner in the Club House overlooking the ocean. There are sliding glass doors out to the spa from the master bedroom and also the living area. Later on, watch the sunset from the private hot tub, while enjoying a glass of local Sonoma County wine; you will live out on the deck!
Bodega Bay is a quiet, secluded, peaceful sanctuary, yet only 55 miles from the sophisticated City of San Francisco. Hiking and bike trails abound to explore the rugged coastline. Enjoy a walk around Bodega Head or take the Pinnacle Gulch trail, which leads directly down to the beach. There are many local activities in Bodega Bay, Bodega, Sonoma, Petaluma and Sebastopol, such as the Fisherman's Festival and wineries in all directions.
We are so fortunate to have many excellent restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive, including Blue Water Bistro, our own clubhouse restaurant, Lucas Wharf and The Tides, and we can now boast of a Michelin one-star restaurant, Terrapin Creek. We are happy to share all of these wonderful local features with our guests

House had everything you could ask for to make a memorable vacation. Excellent location close to multiple activities. Excellent local restaurants. A must stay.
The property was amazing! Had a very relaxing trip because of this wonderful property.Great kitchen to prepare meals which we use for breakfast and dinner.
We loved this place so much. It felt like home. They had everything we could possibly need. The view and the quietness made it so enjoyable to just sit on the deck in the mornings. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you so much for allowing us to visit your beautiful home!
The home is spacious, comfortable and well maintained. Location is very peaceful with nice wildlife viewing. Spa was a bonus. Kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of towels were provided. Hosts were very gracious.
Very nice home with great location and views. Being able to keep our rent car in the garage was a plus. Hot tub was a wonderful way to relax and unwind after a day of hiking and exploring the area.
We stayed at this home for 5 days and enjoyed every moment! The home is clean and well appointed. The outdoor deck has a great view and deer are seen daily in the back. The hot tub is clean and ready for a great place to have good conversation. The hosts are very communicative and pleasant. Any couple wanting a quiet, private, peaceful place to stay should seriously consider renting this home!
The place was very comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. Love the neighborhood but be aware, if you’re a light sleeper the fog horn is on ALL day and night. There are all kinds of wildlife like deers, hawks, fox and lots of birds. It was beautiful. Overall we were comfortable.
This is such a lovely place. With a view of Bodega Head and all the wildlife around. We had deer, quail, herons, a fox and even a skunk visit us. So cute! The hot tub was wonderful. Fun walk down to Doran Beach every morning. Great restaurants nearby. We will be back. Thank you, Bob and Diana!
The house is lovely with a huge backyard deck and a large field that is frequently visited by deer, foxes and birds. The vaulted ceilings in the living room make the house feel even bigger and the bathrobes are soft on the skin after a hot soak in the jacuzzi.
House has great natural light, comfortable King bed, nice deck with distant ocean view - you can hear the ocean at night from King bedroom w/slider open, clean & nice hot tub, clean bed linens & lots of towels. Kitchen is fine. Older outdoor furniture & cushions. The house is well used. There is a great vibe - we would stay again.
Thete is a nice vibe here.
Mandolin Wind was clean, comfortable and cosy. It was well stocked with soaps, shampoo and body lotions. The beds were comfortable with pillows galore. (A couple of softer sleeping pillows would have been a welcome addition). There were grouse (I looked them up in the Audubon Bird Book that was provided) to greet us out front in the mornings and the deer in the backyard were a nice touch. We will definitely return to Mandolin Wind.
We really enjoyed our stay at Mandolin Wind. It was everything we expected, the house was clean, BBQ was brand new, fridge and ice maker worked perfectly. Spa was also working fine. The place is quiet, we used it to visit San Francisco and travel time to downtown is about 1h. You can find a store in Bodega Bay called Diekmann's Bay Store, they had all our need for our stay.
The only remark we could do is the washer and dryer could be upgraded, they worked ok, they are just old.
It just doesn't get much better than this. The property is a spacious, clean and and nicely furnished single-level house in a quiet hillside neighborhood with views of the ocean and surrounding countryside. Self check-in was a breeze with clear instructions, and the hosts provided plenty of helpful sightseeing and dining information. Easy driving to the wine country, or just relax on the large back deck. Kitchen is very well equipped, including a "lending library" wine chiller. Having a king bed and a garage were real plusses. Easy-to-operate TV setup, too. A-plus all the way!
This property is in a quiet neighborhood with views of the ocean. We got there just before sunset and the first thing we did was get in the back deck sauna and watch the sunset. Robes supplied were perfect. The beds are very comfortable. We took day trips to Armstrong redwoods, and Tomales Bay and this property is centrally located to those locations. The kitchen was clean and up-to-date. The gas fireplace is easy to use. The bathrooms were also clean. My husband and I did not want to leave when it was time to check out. The only two things I would note is there wasn't a champaign stopper and the hot tub seemed a little heavy on the chemical treatment. Overall, very nice property.
Fro the moment we arrived at Mandolin Wind we were impressed with the location and beauty of this place. The house was well stocked with most everything you could need for a great getaway. The kitchen could use a wine foil cutter, a pair of scissors, and a few plastic bowls, but was otherwise well stocked. The deck and hot tub were a great place to relax, and the gas grill was great. It is conveniently located to the town of Bogega Bay and the beautiful coastline. We were a bit disappointed with the TV stations that were available. most everything we would have liked to watch was unavailable and needed an upgrade to the service. We tried to watch HGTV with no luck, and would really have liked to see some of the Olympic Trials, but we couldn't access any of those stations. Mostly just basic TV channels, but we made due. The bed was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely book the Mandolin Wind again in the future.
We enjoyed our time and had a very relaxing stay.Watching all the deer in the field by the deck and the quail was so fun to see them so close. The master bedroom was very convenient to the spa. Great way to relax at the day’s end.
