Coastal Dream - Bodega Bay Dog-Friendly Ocean-View Cottage with Hot Tub

Soak in the private hot tub as Pacific fog burns off the bluff, then walk five minutes to Schoolhouse Beach or Carmet Beach to comb for sea glass and driftwood. This nautical-themed Carmet cottage sleeps 5 across two queen bedrooms and a sofa bed, with a wrap-around deck, gas grill, and ocean views from the living room. Dogs welcome.

Spend mornings watching fog lift off the Pacific from the wrap-around deck, afternoons beachcombing for shells, driftwood, and sea glass at Schoolhouse Beach and Carmet Beach (both a short walk from the door), and evenings grilling fresh oysters as the sun drops over the water. Coastal Dream sits in the quiet, quaint Carmet neighborhood on the Sonoma Coast, with all-new nautical and beachy furnishings throughout.

Sink into the coastal-chic sofas in the sunlit living room, where ocean-inspired artwork lines the white-paneled walls and an HDTV is ready for foggy-afternoon movies. Sliding glass doors pull the deck and ocean view straight into the room.

Cook with everything you need in the galley kitchen — granite counters, stainless appliances, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and stove handle anything from coffee to a full crab feast. Meals inside happen at one small round table in the corner of the room.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the wrap-around wooden deck where the private hot tub waits beneath the coastal sky. Fire up the gas grill for sunset dinners, then linger at the table-and-chair set under the market umbrella as the Pacific turns gold and crimson.
