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

Beautiful home
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.

Birthday Weekend
Mandolin Wind is a beautiful home with a great view and lots of privacy. Clean, comfy and well stocked with everything you could need. We enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub and lounging on the deck. Then a short drive into town for a delicious dinner at the Terrapin Cafe.

Very relaxing. Easy to get to and close to restaurants, shops and scenic ocean views and beaches. Good beds. Appliances and kitchens goods very nice. Loved hearing the soft fog horn and watching deer and quail from the deck. Would recommend this house.

My friends and I try to do a local long weekend quarterly or so, and we decided Mandolin Wind is our favorite place thus far! Beautiful and spacious house and surroundings with a deck, hot tub and partial ocean view. A bonus were all the deer that visited daily in the back yard. Such a treat! Would definitely come back.

Perfection
We had the most wonderful stay at Mandolin Wind! We had intended to do some day trips into Sonoma but we had such a great time at the house that we never left Bodega. We had beautiful sunsets every evening and enjoyed drinking our coffee each morning with the view of Bodega Head. House was well equipped for our family and very comfortable. Thank you to our hosts!

A home we'd return to
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.

Annual Fishermen's Festival
We try to attend the Fishermen's Festival most years but hadn't been since before Covid. We made it this year and thankfully found this home on VRBO. It was perfect for our needs...very comfortable inside and outside. Though quite windy on the coast we were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine with the deck railing providing a good wind break. The location was quiet, great for relaxing after our 2 days at the festival. Enjoyed, we'll try to book again.
