Casa Playa - Bodega Bay Oceanview Home near Golf Course

Wake to ocean views from this hillside retreat overlooking Bodega Bay's 11th fairway. Soak up panoramic water views from the front balcony or unwind on the back deck facing the golf course. Two king suites and a game room with pool table make this ideal for two couples. Just 0.3 miles from Pinnacle Gulch Trail and 1.2 miles from The Dog House restaurant. The rugged Sonoma Coast beckons — where gray whales cruise past rocky headlands and fresh crab sandwiches taste better with salt air.

At Casa Playa, mornings begin on the deck as the dew burns off the fairways, afternoons walking the bluff trails or playing the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course, and evenings watching the sun melt into the Pacific. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams open the main level; a sectional and purple accent chairs face the gas fireplace as sliding glass doors frame the ocean-view deck. Teal lower cabinets pair with quartz counters in the kitchen, and the island doubles as casual seating. Downstairs the rec room takes over — a full-size pool table and a 75-inch satellite TV stand ready when the fog rolls over the 11th fairway. OUTDOOR LIVING Two deck areas maximize your time outside. The front balcony with wood railings offers ocean views and seating for watching the fog roll in. The back deck features composite decking, an outdoor sectional with navy cushions, and a gas grill — all facing the 11th fairway. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Two king suites anchor this home. The first welcomes you with navy accents, a macramé wall hanging, and sliding glass doors to outdoor space. The second features a striped coverlet, wood dresser, and textured accent wall. Sleeps 4. PROPERTY AMENITIES -- Gas fireplace -- Full kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, air fryer -- Washer and dryer -- Pool table and game room -- Gas grill -- Parking for 3

Catch the afternoon light pouring through the skylights and vaulted ceilings, then move out to the deck or the dedicated game room with the full pool table. The whole home is yours, with a gas fireplace and an indoor-outdoor flow built for slow days. Punch in the keypad code on arrival, and pull up to three cars into the driveway.

Your Bodega Bay retreat sits perfectly positioned between ocean adventures and the Links at Bodega Harbour golf course. Walk just 0.3 miles to Pinnacle Gulch Trail for tide pooling and dramatic rock formations, or 0.3 miles to Rebello Point. The protected waters of Estero Americano Coast Preserve lie 0.6 miles away. For dining, Captain Davey's Coffee and Ice Cream (1.2 miles) serves morning fuel before beach days. The legendary Fishetarian Fish Market (1.4 miles) offers sustainable seafood and outdoor seating. Drakes Fireside Lounge sits just 0.7 miles away for evening cocktails. Stock up on essentials at Diekmann's Bay Store (2.0 miles) or grab fresh crab sandwiches at the harbor. Beach lovers can reach Doran Beach in 1.0 mile for calmer waters perfect for families, while the wilder Bodega Dunes Beach stretches 3.2 miles north. Doran Regional Park (1.5 miles) offers 2 miles of sandy shoreline, picnic areas, and a fishing jetty.

Bodega Bay is about 90 minutes from San Francisco — a beautiful drive up 101 and out Highway 1 through farmland and coastal ranches. Park up to 3 vehicles in the driveway. A car makes exploring the Sonoma Coast effortless — it unfolds for miles in either direction. Cell service is light along the coast, so downloading offline maps before you arrive is a good idea.

The home stays naturally cool thanks to coastal breezes and the shaded hillside location — no AC needed even in summer (highs rarely exceed 70°F). The recreation room downstairs offers rainy-day entertainment with the pool table and large TV. Beach gear including chairs, umbrella, toys, and a wagon are provided — perfect for Doran Beach adventures. Families appreciate the high chair and stroller. Bodega Bay fog is part of the coastal charm, especially summer mornings. Layer up — it's often 20 degrees cooler here than inland. The best weather typically arrives in fall (September-November) with clearer skies and warmer temperatures. Winter brings dramatic storm watching and gray whale migrations visible from Bodega Head. Don't miss Spud Point Crab Company for legendary crab sandwiches — arrive early on weekends to beat the lines.
