Cozy Carmet Cottage - Bodega Bay Dog-Friendly Oceanview Cottage with Hot Tub

Salt air mingles with the scent of wildflowers as you soak in your private hot tub, the Pacific stretching endlessly before you. This dog-friendly cottage sits directly across from Carmet Beach — your pups can join you for morning walks on the sand. Room for 8 in three bedrooms. Just 3 miles from Bodega Bay's legendary Spud Point crab sandwiches and 1.2 miles from Salmon Creek Beach. The rhythm of the waves becomes your soundtrack here on the wild Sonoma Coast.

Spend mornings on the bluff as fog burns off the Pacific, afternoons exploring the Sonoma Coast's tide pools and trails, and evenings around the dining table with fresh crab from the harbor.

Cream sofas set around the wood-burning stove in the main living room, wraparound windows tracking the Pacific's color shifts through the afternoon. A second family room holds leather furniture, a wet bar with blue cabinetry, and its own flatscreen — kids pile in there, or you mix evening cocktails between sunset rounds. Light wood cabinets and a blue-tile backsplash echo the ocean in the kitchen; casual meals land at the eat-in table while an eight-seat formal dining room stands ready when the whole crew arrives.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step outside onto an expansive wraparound deck offering multiple seating areas and a private hot tub overlooking the Pacific — the kind of soak that redefines relaxation. The back deck sits on the rear of the home, with a clear vantage for sunset watching. Fire up the gas grill for dinner as salt air drifts in and watch the stars appear over the yard below.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The first bedroom offers a queen bed with a white painted wood frame, while the second features a queen bed with an upholstered headboard and coastal-themed decor. The third bedroom is a kids' paradise with twin beds plus a bunk bed configuration — double on the bottom, twin on top. Two Pack 'N Plays and two booster seats are on hand for the littlest travelers. Total capacity: 8 guests.
