    Coastal Prairie Trail

    This was our first time here, and I can simply say it is now one of our favorites. Check in was super easy. Our room included a nice patio that allowed our dog to roam in and out and gave us easy access to walks as there is a side gate off the patio that is close to a few short trails on the property. The staff were just wonderful and dedicated to making our stay enjoyable. They provided us with many activities that always included our pup, as well a wonderful eating establishments. I would highly recommend the Bodega Bay Inn as a perfect place to spend some vacation time. Don't forget to include you pup, they'll love it!

    Excellent stay! They were so amazing towards our dog and had treats and love ready for him. Very close to so many beautiful places to take pictures and visit! Leslie in particular was so friendly!

    I'm an introvert who doesn't feel comfortable talking with strangers so I appreciated the mobile check in. The room was amazing, it felt very homey like an Airbnb! I stayed in the Library room so I was on the ground floor with a patio attached to my room. They had installed a fountain to drown out noise from the adjacent road. Such a pleasant sound. The room had a fridge and a communal kitchen with Keurigs and free coffee and tea. I would downgrade the review a star for the lack breakfast pastries but there is a delightful coffee shop right next door. There is also a vending machine with sodas, oatmeal and other snacks. I wanted to give this place five stars because the staff really made me feel very comfortable. There were very few guests so I had time to talk with them. The gentleman I talked to before I left was friendly and genuine, a rarity these days. Love this place!

    The two hosts we spoke with during our stay were both wonderful! Check in and check out texted instructions were well done and on point. Since our stay was completely prepaid I suppose we wouldn't have even needed to speak to a host if we hadn't wanted to. Our Bay View room was in a separate building a bit down the road, which appears to contain two guest rooms and an employee quarters, all of which seem to share a "common" room containing a small kitchen and fridge, a large outdoor deck and a hot tub. Our Bay View room was upstairs. The room was very clean and the bed was great. We appreciated the view from the small balcony. Interesting layout, but we had a great stay.

    The Bodega Bay Inn is nicely located right off Highway 1 in Bodega Bay. We stayed in the Bay View Room which had a common kitchen nook ( had coffee cups, refrigerator and microwave). This room also had a nice outdoor deck and access to the hot tub. It was more like staying at an ARBNB than an inn. From the deck, there is a view of a meadow, the bay and the Inn. However It is a little funky with the layout and decor but it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

    We stayed at the Bodega Bay Inn for our anniversary. The room was comfortable but cold. Fortunately there was a heater which we kept on most of the time. I was glad I brought slippers I recommend bringing a pair. The entire room and bath had tile flooring which did not warm up. It was bright with sky lights which we were able to open and close. The patio was great for Huckleberry. We could let him out and were not worried he would wander away. The shower was like a soft rain. I would have like stronger pressure. The staff were friendly and helpful. They loaned us a water dish. If we are back in the area we would stay there again.

    Creekside room 14 we loved the deck!It got too windy to sit out there long though!

    Enjoyed our 2 night stay.We stayed in Creekside room #14.King bed with access to large private deck. We didn't hear any of our neighbors,slept soundly. FYI it gets super windy here so bring warm clothes!We planned on having beer on our deck but had to cut it short because I was freezing lol! The only cons is no sitting area inside room and not "safely"walkable to any restaurants other than Terrapin Creek Cafe (highly recommended!)and Roadside Coffee.That's pretty much any hotel in Bodega Bay though! We enjoyed Bodega Bay,very low key chill place with lots of amazing seafood and make sure to walk Bodega Headlands(it gets very cold) We tried to get in at Doran but they turned us away because parking lot full. I saw a few families with kids and the kiddos looked miserable.Not sure it's good for kiddos since it gets extremely windy but could be wrong.

    The room we stayed in was huge with a nice big patio for our doggie and Pete and Leslie took such great care of us. Love the location and the price. We will definitely be back again soon!

    A nice hike in   Bodega Bay.

    Spent a birthday (my partner's) weekend at the Bodega Bay Inn. Lovely room (Lighthouse #7) with comfortable King bed and lots of space, patio and accessible shower. Coffee room upstairs with makings for a breakfast. Great restaurant across the parking lot, the Terrapin Café where we had a fabulous dinner. Staff in both places very helpful and accomodating. Nice hikes nearby, especially the Bird Trail, tho not too many birds that weekend.

We ran into an issue after booking through a third-party site, but they stepped in right away and took care of everything with kindness and professionalism. Rebecca especially went above and beyond--she fixed our 3rd party wrong booking via complementary upgrade- T H A N K Y O U! Traveling with our kids, we truly appreciated how smooth and stress-free they made everything. The service was outstanding, the views were beautiful, and the entire experience felt special because of them. We're so grateful--thank you again! We'll definitely be back. And the Filipino breakfast was such a great touch--an awesome reset from all the fish, chips, and chowder!

    A Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Views…read more We stayed at The Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay while celebrating a birthday trip from the San Jose region in mid-January, and we could not have asked for better weather. It was sunny every day with temperatures in the mid-60s, which made Bodega Bay feel like a perfect winter escape. The week before it had been raining like crazy and some areas had been flooded. We really lucked out! The hotel is located on a hill, not really next to the water, but because it is situated on the hill, it has great views. Our 2nd story room on the top of the hill was spacious, quiet, and extremely comfortable. The high vaulted ceiling with a skylight made it feel open and airy, and the layout included a couch and small table with chairs, which was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening. We also appreciated having a coffee pot and small refrigerator in the room. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. We saw deer grazing near the bushes and trees, which added to the peaceful coastal feel. The views are excellent, especially from the second-floor units, overlooking Bodega Bay on one side and rolling grassy hills with cows on the other. The hotel is very quiet and restful. Housekeeping was excellent (thank you Grace), and the front desk staff, Evelyn and Tyler, were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. The wellness center is really nice with a large T-shaped pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, workout room, and shaded tables for sitting, eating, or enjoying a drink. Parking is plentiful with some covered spots, plus the hotel is right next to a 76 gas station, which is very convenient for that long drive home. The hotel restaurant is directly across the street on the water and has great views of the bay. Seals, birds and an occasional fishing boat can be seen. There is another restaurant closer to the hotel rooms but it was closed during our stay. A couple of minor wishes: the workout room could use a large mirror, a few more weights, and maybe even a Concept2 rowing machine (hint, hint). And the TV in our room could also be a bit larger (I know, were not their to watch TV, but we love HGTV!). Lastly, if you do not want to deal with stairs, request a ground-floor room. There are no elevators. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend The Inn at the Tides. It was the perfect home base for our first visit to Bodega Bay. Looking forward to staying there again ... hopefully soon!

Pros: this was a very charming estate and the staff was beyond kind to both of us and our pup. He was welcome everywhere except the dining room, the pool and spa. The room was very cute and clean. The only downside for me and my allergies is that there is wood fireplace in each room. The bathroom had plenty of hot water. The breakfast was from 8-10 am in the dining room and had a decent meat-less spread. Toast, bagels, oatmeal and toppings, plain yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, fruit salad, coffee, tea assortment and juices. The grounds are super cute and weather permitting there is a movie playing on a projector with complimentary s'mores to cook on the outdoor wood fire. Since we had our dog, we didn't use the pool or spa. "Aunt Kay" we interacted with the most and was so kind to both of us and Dio. She made our stay! Not only was she informative but also checked in on us when we we'd pass through the lobby. Dio was a big fan of her. Cons: if you have allergies or are sensitive to wood smoke, this is not your destination. Again, there are wood burning fireplaces in each room and a large fire pit by the movie. The room we stayed at is across from the pool and it can get noisy. You can also hear everyone that walks in front of your room. Along with that there is a lot of wildlife, so you may need ear plugs. If you need to sleep in the dark, the front blinds are going to still let in light, so bring a sleep mask. Update: we got a text that I forgot my socks in the room. They offered to mail them to us, we declined. I don't remember the last time house keeping and the front office too the time to be that considerate.

The room and bathroom are really spacious, clean, and the two king beds are huge in the room. It's a great amount of space for a couple or larger group. Lounging here or in one of the several communal areas is welcoming. The grounds are better kept than many years ago, but there are still some pockets that could use some care. But the reception Chex mix/ wine, movie night with s'mores, lawn games, make the larger property feel cozy. And while I didn't get to the jacuzzi or pool, I wish I had! What made me write this review though, is the gluten free and dairy free options for breakfast. They have homemade bread to toast which had me coming back for seconds. Usually, gluten free is so disappointing, but not here. Delicious! On top of all this was friendly and informative staff. Lovely stay. Hopefully, we'll be back in another 10 years.

I have quite a bit of feedback of this business especially as they finish remodeling and rebranding. Based off the old photos the rooms seem like they have improved a lot so I am hoping they do well overall. Location: 5/5 It's right in front of the beach, you get a nice view of your room faces the bay and there's a small coffee shop, local burgers and hot dogs, and post office next door, also Fishetarian is so close! Great for a coasty vibe and a beer. Check-In/ Check-Out and staffing: 2/5 Upon arrival (around 1pm) we were told our room wasn't ready and we could not check in until 4pm. The lady at the front was very friendly and offered us some chocolate while she processed our payment. Once checked in, process was smooth but what really upset us was the limited staffing they have on site generally. No one is there at check out (11am) and they don't arrive until between 1-4 which isn't good for a hospitality business. Overnight our neighbors were up until 5AM. Drinking and smoking cigarettes on their balcony so we weren't able to enjoy our outdoor space. There was no one to call and notify to tell them to keep it down. They were also jumping or dropping furniture idk it was loud thuds though, so I'm sure the people below them were annoyed too. In the morning we requested a different room and they were apologetic but did not find us a new place and thankfully our neighbors checked out. I really hope Bodega Coast Inn followed up with them because they were an inconsiderate group of adults acting like they were in college. Definitely ruined our night and made the next morning hard to enjoy because we were so tired. I also requested a complimentary night but they ghosted me and stopped responding. The room: 3/5 Beautiful renovated room with a mid century modern vibe. Only complaint is the shower. It was clean but the way the glass half-wall is situated splashes water EVERYWHERE. If they don't address this, they will need to do a lot of maintenance on floor repairs for water damage. We had to lay a towel on the floor each time we showered. The property was also undergoing renovations and there was no noise at night but the spa wasn't operating or in good condition. Generally I would recommend this place. But I hope they staff someone to be available overnight for noise complaints because it can easily become a party room without anyone from the company knowing and guests not having a good experience.

First impressions of the king suite were great: stylish, modern, and freshly updated. Unfortunately, it also came with a side of "Eau de Pine-Sol" so intense it could qualify as a third guest. We opened every window and door in a desperate attempt to air it out, but the scent stood its ground like a pine-scented fog of war. By bedtime, my sinuses were staging a protest, and the birthday getaway vibe had definitely taken a hit. The silver lining? By morning, we could breathe like humans again. Now, about those windows: charming in theory, but none of them had screens. The bedroom window opened right onto a sidewalk, which meant a parade of passing strangers just a few feet away. With no A/C and a security risk that felt more "live stage performance" than "private suite," we ended up sweating it out with the windows closed. The bed also had... character. The headboard was completely detached from the wall, and according to my husband, his side of the bed offered a gentle downhill slope--ideal for sledding, not so much for sleeping. All that said, I actually really like this place. It has great bones and a lot of potential they're actively working on. I'd absolutely come back, but next time I'll book a second or third-floor room, and I'll be calling ahead to make sure it doesn't smell like a pine forest exploded indoors.

We stayed in the Seal's unit, which is the largest of the 3. For the price it's tough to beat the location. The cabin sits on piers directly over the bay when the tide is up. You do get a bit of road noise due to the location directly off highway 1, but late at night, the road is not well traveled. The unit is cleaned by tenant's so it's not professionally cleaned. Still, it was not too bad. The unit could benefit from a new bed and perhaps some updated dishware. It would really pop with some new furnishings, but then the price would likely increase. Sitting out in the hot tub on a star filled night makes these issues are little more excusable. We had some outstanding food at Terrapin Creek Cafe and Spud Point Crab Co.

We got to see an amazing sunset from the balcony and seals swimming just offshore. It was nice to have a kitchen to make a simple breakfast. You do need to bring your own linens and towels, but that was not a problem for us. You have to clean the unit before you leave, but it did not take more than an hour. The only negatives for us were the shower was somewhat clogged and we weren't able to enjoy the hot tub because it needed cleaning and was slimy. We booked on extremely short notice, so we can't fault the owner for not having time to check on the unit before our arrival. He was easy to work with and responded very quickly to phone calls. We had hoped to use the available kayak, but ran short on time. If you are not looking for a 5 star, fancy hotel, this is your place. The relaxation factor of having your own space, combined with the reasonable price made this an ideal escape.

The interior is modernized design, it is an open concept that has a queen size bed also a pull out sofa bed in the living area, TV Blu-ray player, a small kitchen, private deck overlooking the bay, bathroom showers, and a shared yard with propane barbecue. is a quaint little spot for two people, and I love that they are dog friendly here they have stuff for dogs to use just in case you forgot your stuff. They have utensils, cups plates, spices, and some teas in their cupboards. In 2017 we use the same company to rent a house property on Gull Dr. That home was a very spacious home. We had our kids with us so it was nice to share it with other people plenty of space, open concept and they also had. It was a four bedroom house and it also had a washer and there were two spaces for parking and they also had a gaming area in the garage. For our 10 year wedding anniversary hubby decided to come back to the place we met and fell in love. But this time around he rented Albatramonto property that's up stairs from the original Tramonto property that we stayed at 11 years ago. This one it was almost identical to the original location we stayed at, but this one had a breakfast nook and two split patios. One patio facing the ocean and the other patio facing the tides wharf. The company was really wonderful. They made us a little heart towel and gave us a bottle of sparkling rose for our anniversary. Just be wary of ants, especially during the winter season just don't keep food out in the open or unsealed. If your ant problem gets really bad, then call the company up and they'll come out and spray. The only complaint we really had was the heater they had didn't warm the place enough and it was really cold. luckily, they had layers of blankets on the bed to keep us warm. The sunset are still amazing to watch from the patio. Parking is a little tight for this property. Brianna was the person we had dealt with, and she had simply been nothing but helpful with the bookings. The nice part about this company is everything is done online via email and to check into your property. You never have to go to the office. You can just show up at the actual vacation home and the key is in the lock box. every time you call them, there's always someone there to pick up the phone and answer any questions that you have. we will definitely be back here again in the near future you can never go wrong with any of the properties. The view is just superb for sunsets.

The fire dept. came and the whole house smelled like smoke all weekend which I guess was better than the overriding mold smell of the place before the smoke incident.

The property will get bad reviews on Air B and B now because of him. He didn't do his job and is childish to boot.
