Mar-Tiny - Bodega Bay Salmon Creek Waterfront Cottage for Two and Dogs

Salmon Creek flows past your deck as harbor seals play in the tidal waters below. Curl up by the gas fireplace with your pup after exploring the beach — just a short walk away. This intimate cottage for two sits directly on the water with sweeping views across the creek to distant hills. Spud Point's legendary crab sandwiches are 1.5 miles south. Your front door opens to the wild Sonoma Coast, where gray whales pass in winter and the sound of the Pacific carries on the breeze.

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.

A turquoise sectional and matching armchair gather around a woven rattan coffee table, the gas fireplace anchoring the room beneath exposed white ceiling beams. Large windows frame the wetlands and Salmon Creek beyond. The kitchenette runs along one wall with open shelving, a white-tile backsplash, a full-size fridge, and a toaster oven — enough for simple meals but no full oven or dishwasher, so plan one or two dinners out at The Casino in Bodega. A natural wood dining table seats four by the window.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Step onto the wooden deck with wire cable railing to take in panoramic views of Salmon Creek and the surrounding wetlands. Red wooden chairs and blue Adirondack chairs provide multiple spots to settle in, while a gas grill and red-and-white striped patio umbrella make outdoor dining a delight. String lights create warm ambiance for evening relaxation as the sun dips below the waterline.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The bedroom offers a queen bed with a white headboard and coral accent pillows beneath exposed white ceiling beams. Skylights over the queen let the sunrise in. A tall wooden armoire provides ample storage, and pendant lighting with nautical wall decor complete the coastal retreat. The cottage comfortably sleeps 2.

• The kitchenette is perfect for simple meals but lacks a full oven and dishwasher — plan accordingly or enjoy the many excellent local restaurants.
• The cottage stays naturally cool thanks to coastal breezes and doesn't have air conditioning — you'll rarely need it here where summer highs reach only the 60s.
• Salmon Creek Beach is an easy walk from your door — perfect for morning dog walks.
• Keep your pup leashed near the creek as harbor seals often rest on the banks.
• The gas grill on the deck is ideal for grilling fresh seafood from local markets.
• Internet is Xfinity and works well.
• The primary renter must be 21 or older.
• The string lights on the deck create magical evenings — the switch is just inside the sliding door.
• The access road can flood during rare high-tide (king tide) events — usually only 1–4 inches, though water can reach the driveway. Pack waterproof boots just in case.
