Great location and great home
We enjoyed staying at this wonderful home. The home was stocked with everything you could need and more. Everything is well maintained and attention is paid to every detail. The house is located so you can take in the beautiful ocean views with a path to the beach right across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, clean house on the ocean
Came with family for a mini vacation, everything went as expected! The house was extremely clean which was wonderful because we had two babies that were crawling on the floors. The location was beautiful, we enjoyed walks to the beach and the beautiful setting. Only disappointment was not being able to go on the golf course trails, which looked beautiful and would make for a wonderful walk. We knew this ahead of time but it was a bit of a bummer once we were there. The hosts were very responsive and the house supplied all we needed for our trip and more!

Girls trip
We came to Bodega Bay for our annual girls trip. The house was beautiful and fit our group of 8 perfectly. The kitchen was well stocked and we made several meals over the weekend. The hot tub was nice to have, and the ocean views were amazing. We loved the trail access across the street and took several walks down to the beach. Check-in and check-out were both easy & hassle free and communication with Debbie and Dave was clear & helpful. Sonoma Zipline information was included with the welcome email and we booked a tour there and had a blast! We hope to make a return trip next year. ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Dave Tarca

Host profile image
I'm Debbie and my husband Dave is a Plumbing/Heating/Electrical contractor and runs his own business Acrat Plumbing, Heating & Electrical (Handy when you run vacation rentals). I run Bodega Bay Rentals, LLC. We own Gull Harbour & Pacific View. I book, maintain and CLEAN. Yes... We do the cleaning. It's the best way to KNOW what's going on in the home. As a professed germaphobe I like knowing I'm providing guests with a clean environment (read reviews).

Both college grads (Dave SSU Business/Debbie Pacific Union Nursing). We are active in our kids lives (college/hs). We've owned & managed commercial & residential property in Sonoma Cnty for 25+ yrs and have rented our homes in Bodega Bay since 2001. When not working we enjoy being outside working our ranch, hiking or playing at the beach. We've hiked Half Dome the past several years and have a slew of Spartan, marathons & triathlon's under our belts. 2021/2022 we hiked Rim2Rim Grand Canyon. If you see me around the harbour, it's usually with one of my furry friends enjoying this beautiful area! If you LOVE hiking...this is a great area...and its how we prepped for Grand Canyon and Half Dome. ASK ME!

Our goal...YOU have a seamless vacation in a home that runs top to bottom. We clean/prep so have hopefully headed off any unwanted issues. We are local and available 24/7 to help at any time...even if just a texted question. Dave as a plumbing/electrical contractor....If an issue pops up...we respond asap. Our homes are self entry and guests given door code so entry at your leisure. Lots of extras. Questions don't hesitate to ask.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our first home in Bodega Bay around the corner (on Gull) from this one in 2001 as an investment. We love the area and renting it out to friends, family & guests. Dave actually did all the mechanical on this home when it was built in the 1990's so we knew it was a solid purchase. Add that to the amazing views of the home & the beach trail across the street and we were sold.

What makes this property unique

Our home sits at the crest of Gull Drive facing water. You can see the current moving, whales from living room windows and sounds of waves and seals. Very relaxing area... Gull Drive is the closest street to access trails/beach of anywhere in the harbor.

Two beach trails off of Gull Drive...one right across the street. The other leading to the Bodega Harbour Clubhouse/Bistro & Bar.

FABULOUS views! Located at the 9th Tee . Kids love the Ping-Pong table. I love going for runs around the Harbour. Hills offer quite the challenge. We love to geocache in the area.

Doran Beach is a wonderful gradually sloping beach for kids to play in. We keep a beach pass to Doran Park in the home for Guests that want to use the 'day use' area at the County Park. I also like knowing the Coast Guard is stationed behind the park should someone need assistance. We keep lots of beach supplies in the home for families.
