Quiet hideaway bliss

Stocked with everything you could think of for a few days of utter peace and quiet, the Beekeepers Cottage was super cosy and spotlessly clean, brilliantly located for great hikes in the area, and was perfect for our needs when the wild weather set in - cosy movie nights by the fire are just as grand as sunset hot-tub sessions! David and Juli were also fantastic at communication and made our stay so easy and pleasant. Would certainly recommend!

Ideal Get-A-Way Place

This cottage is a great place for getting away. It is private and very comfortable and beautifully maintained. And while it is a perfect place to read, soak and relax, it is also very well located as a base for exploring Bodega Bay and surrounds. If you are fortunate enough to meet David, your host, you will be in for a treat! We highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Zen

The property was relaxing. David was very responsive, as was his property manager Juli, and interesting to talk to (and Abby). My friend and I had a great time doing jigsaw puzzles, reading, and just relaxing. The car overheated on the way home though. We just had to stop at the Wild Flour Bakery again and steam came out of the hood. Since we had driven a lot the day before, with no issue, something ate holes in the coolant hoses Sunday afternoon or evening while parked at the rental. It will be at the repair shop for until next week. No fault of the host, just nature. It is a great place to stay. Some advice: invest in rodent repellent for your car.

Lovely and peaceful cottage in the heart of Bodega Bay

This cottage is in a perfect location to explore Bodega Bay and surrounding area. The cottage itself is comfortable, quiet, private and peaceful with a well-maintained interior and surrounded by trees and a lovely garden. We enjoyed the hot tub and indoor gas fireplace. The hosts were very responsive and we look forward to returning!

Tranquility in the woods

The Beekeeper's Cottage is such a comfortable and relaxing place to get away. A big thank you to David & Juli for all the amenities, great communication, and care given to the property. My partner & I were struck by how quiet and peaceful it was even though we were a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Bodega Bay (especially on a holiday weekend!). We especially enjoyed waking up with the local turkey vulture family, who like us would come out into the sun to warm up before heading out for the day. Although our teen didn't join us on this trip, the cottage would have easily accommodated us all with plenty of room for meals, playing games, lounging around with our books, and even making a little music. Outside offers plenty of spots for sketching or taking in the trees and bird activity. This is truly a special spot that conveyed to us a strong feeling of love for the land and enjoyment of company. We hope to return again and see it in a different season!

Magical Getaway

This property provided all we needed for a cozy little girls staycation. As Sonoma County Natives, we didn’t need much except a cozy place with a place to relax. This provided just that! I fell in love with the cute, quaint house and the comfortability jt gave from just our two night stay. The added amenities of the hot tub, out door shower, and a bottle of wine upon arrival was above and beyond. Our stay here could have not been better or easier. Thank you David for the beautiful property and Juli for amazing, and consistent communication. This definitely won’t be my last stay here

Bodega Bay Retreat

This property is quiet and secluded at the end of a country road, watched the hawks float on air currents above and the monarchs in the country garden. Very clean, and all the amenities working, plenty of beach towels and fully-stocked kitchen with efficient appliances. What we enjoyed most of all was breakfast on the sunny east-facing porch, and the hot tub, which afforded a breath-taking view of clouds and moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival! Plus the peahen and her family traipsing about the property.

Perfect in Every Way

The property which is at the end of the road is extremely privately and quaint. The whimsical outdoor decorations were a nice touch. We enjoyed a good amount of time on the side deck just enjoying nature. You can hear the seals from the ocean at night. Just about everything that was advertised about the property was better than expected. The bathroom and oversized shower looked brand new and immaculate. We give a 5 star rating for the cleanliness of the entire place. The farmhouse kitchen had all amenities. There was even a bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us in the refrigerator! The master bedroom was spacious with plenty of windows to open and enjoy the smell of the Eucalyptus trees. The manager, Juli, answers texts within minutes. Also, the binder that she created for nearby restaurants, shops and trails was SO helpful. There is no reason that we would look around for other accommodations when traveling to Bodega Bay again. The Bee Keeper's Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. Very comfortable and relaxing time. Thank You!
