Mandolin Wind - Private retreat with filtered ocean view and hot tub
About this house rental
Located in Bodega Bay, this attractive house for $275 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. *** COVID-19 *** Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are taking extra precautions for each rental. We no longer allow quick turns (guests arrive on the same day as last guest depart) between rentals. Our minimum is 28 hours between rentals to allow extra time for cleaning/sanitation. We follow CDC guidelines which includes wiping down all commonly touched surfaces including lockbox, door knobs, light switches, TV controls, bath and kitchen fixtures, etc. Every countertop is disinfected with a spray sanitizer and allowed to air dry. We, of course, leave it up to the guests to follow their own guidelines as far as masks, social distancing, etc. About a 10 minute walk to the beach! A single level house situated on a quarter acre lot with great privacy. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and is equipped for serious cooking. Comfortably furnished home with new Hot Springs hot tub and loungers on the large deck offering views of the ocean and Bodega Head. Mandolin Wind is ideally laid out for two couples or a small family. Generous master suite has a king-sized bed, private bath and 36" TV. The guest bedroom has queen-sized bed, 36" TV and adjacent bath. Top quality linens, hair dryers, washer/dryer, ironing board/iron are all provided. The kitchen includes a great gas stove for the cook, slab granite counter tops and new stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator. Next to the well-equipped kitchen is the dining area, which comfortably seats six. You will also find a wonderful selection of cook books and elegant artwork throughout the house. The large living room features a gas fireplace, high ceilings, 50" HD TV and DVD player with internet connection. There are many windows and sliding door leading to the deck with hot tub and lots of space for relaxing. There is a Weber gas BBQ and table for outdoor dining. Mandolin Wind has a high speed internet connection via Comcast cable to accommodate people who want to get away but have to stay connected. There is a wireless router to allow use of all your internet devices. You can enjoy a round of world-class golf, then have dinner in the Club House overlooking the ocean. There are sliding glass doors out to the spa from the master bedroom and also the living area. Later on, watch the sunset from the private hot tub, while enjoying a glass of local Sonoma County wine; you will live out on the deck! Bodega Bay is a quiet, secluded, peaceful sanctuary, yet only 55 miles from the sophisticated City of San Francisco. Hiking and bike trails abound to explore the rugged coastline. Enjoy a walk around Bodega Head or take the Pinnacle Gulch trail, which leads directly down to the beach. There are many local activities in Bodega Bay, Bodega, Sonoma, Petaluma and Sebastopol, such as the Fisherman's Festival and wineries in all directions. We are so fortunate to have many excellent restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive, including Blue Water Bistro, our own clubhouse restaurant, Lucas Wharf and The Tides, and we can now boast of a Michelin one-star restaurant, Terrapin Creek. We are happy to share all of these wonderful local features with our guests License - 1690

Mandolin Wind was clean, comfortable and cosy. It was well stocked with soaps, shampoo and body lotions. The beds were comfortable with pillows galore. (A couple of softer sleeping pillows would have been a welcome addition). There were grouse (I looked them up in the Audubon Bird Book that was provided) to greet us out front in the mornings and the deer in the backyard were a nice touch. We will definitely return to Mandolin Wind.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mandolin Wind. It was everything we expected, the house was clean, BBQ was brand new, fridge and ice maker worked perfectly. Spa was also working fine. The place is quiet, we used it to visit San Francisco and travel time to downtown is about 1h. You can find a store in Bodega Bay called Diekmann's Bay Store, they had all our need for our stay.
The only remark we could do is the washer and dryer could be upgraded, they worked ok, they are just old.

Mandolin Wind is a beautiful home with a great view and lots of privacy. Clean, comfy and well stocked with everything you could need. We enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub and lounging on the deck. Then a short drive into town for a delicious dinner at the Terrapin Cafe.

We loved the hot tub and the views. Had a great meal at Fishetarian Restaurant, fish & chips. It was peaceful and quiet and safe. What’s not to like? One bathroom sink was not draining well but we just slipped a butter knife under the stopper to lift it a bit. Then it drained. But all the other amenities were abundant, like all the extra towels as well as beach towels.

My friends and I try to do a local long weekend quarterly or so, and we decided Mandolin Wind is our favorite place thus far! Beautiful and spacious house and surroundings with a deck, hot tub and partial ocean view. A bonus were all the deer that visited daily in the back yard. Such a treat! Would definitely come back.

We try to attend the Fishermen's Festival most years but hadn't been since before Covid. We made it this year and thankfully found this home on VRBO. It was perfect for our needs...very comfortable inside and outside. Though quite windy on the coast we were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine with the deck railing providing a good wind break. The location was quiet, great for relaxing after our 2 days at the festival. Enjoyed, we'll try to book again.

We had the most wonderful stay at Mandolin Wind! We had intended to do some day trips into Sonoma but we had such a great time at the house that we never left Bodega. We had beautiful sunsets every evening and enjoyed drinking our coffee each morning with the view of Bodega Head.
House was well equipped for our family and very comfortable. Thank you to our hosts!

Light, bright, spacious getaway property. Perfect for 2 to 4 people. Kitchen is very well stocked for cooking with a dining table, large enough for the jigsaw puzzle.

What a spectacular weekend getaway! The owners were quick to respond to questions prior to booking. Easy check-in, the owners even notified us that we would be able to arrive early since the house was ready.
The house was well stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed. We used the BBQ every night. And the hot tub was absolutely delightful! It’s positioned on the deck to get a view of the ocean/beach. And it was a lovely 1 mile stroll to get to Doran Beach. We took advantage of everything the house had to offer. We would definitely recommend this vacation getaway. And we have already talked about planning a return visit.

Mandolin Wind is a lovely 2bd, 2ba home with a marvelous back deck overlooking greenery and a hilltop view of the bay and ocean. Large sliders and windows give a view from inside out over the back deck. 2 car garage for covered parking if needed, and a lovely, fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking fun. The house was clean and well appointed, and felt comfortable. The owner, Robert, was responsive and helpful with my questions, and check in was as simple as getting the key and opening the door. I gave 5 stars because our experience was exactly as advertised, and was in many ways better than we expected.
