Taylor Made Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Wonderfully situated in the heart of the old village, this inviting cottage brings contemporary comfort to the most classic of Bodega Bay settings. Stroll down to the water's edge to watch the fishing boats come and go, and catch unforgettable sunsets from the wraparound porch overlooking the bay.

This single-story home is located in the waterfront town of Bodega Bay, within a few blocks of several cafes, shops, and fishing charters. Whether your interests lie in beachcombing, fishing, or surfing, you'll have South Salmon Creek Beach, Bodega Dunes Beach, and Doran Beach all within two miles. This is also a great home base for exploring the Sonoma and Marin Coasts, with Jenner (11 miles), the Russian River Valley, and Point Reyes National Seashore (35 miles) close by.

This home is nearly a century old, but it's been thoughtfully updated in recent years to enhance its comfort, ease, and original charm. At the heart of the living space is a brand-new kitchen, offering stainless steel appliances and an eat-in dining room table.

Begin each morning with a mug of coffee and a cushioned seat outside on the sheltered patio, and end each evening curled up in the warmth of the gas fireplace in the living room. Set up a board game at the dining room table, use the complimentary WiFi to check tomorrow's tides and surf, and leave the day's swimsuits and clothes in the care of the washer/dryer before turning in for a restful night's sleep.

We came back to this wonderful cottage and will continue to return in the future. It is cozy and comfy, it is fully stocked, doggie supplies too, in an awesome neighborhood, close to everything in Bodega Bay. Check in and out is so easy. And the communication with property management is great.

Sweet home , by a thousand beaches
This house was perfect for our group. We had 1 dog, and the neighborhood was perfect for walking him on a leash. Although there are many state beaches that do not allow dogs, we found Dillon Beach ,Goat Rock , and School Beach dog friendly. the house was clean and cost and both decks were perfect for hanging out outside.

We stayed at the Taylor house for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, with a small grocery store within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable, and the house is beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Nice property. Needs more attention to detail.
We really loved the location and property overall. We know this review might seem like we are nitpicking, but you put faith in advertising and feel this gem isn’t getting the attention to the things that make a vacation rental feel like home. For the price we all pay for vacations one shouldn’t have to be so critical but the issues listed should be addressed.

Excellent vacation home in Bodega Bay
Taylor Made Cottage was perfect for my husband and I plus our small dog. The home is located within a very short walk to groceries and dog friendly restaurants. We could see the Bay and hear the fog horn from the porch and, although the home is located near a "busier" roadway, there was no traffic noise at night. The home is well equipped with towels, pillows, games, kitchen necessities...everything I could ask for to make the home comfortable. Check in was easy, the door lock has a code so I had to be sure to have the code on me whenever locking the door to leave, however, I felt that I could contact the host for help if I needed it. The communication with the host was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacation home to my friends and family.
