Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bodega Harbor

We had an excellent stay, and our family trip to Sonoma and Napa Valley was fabulous! We definitely would stay here again.

Very nice house and terrific host. Highly recommended!!!!

Mary's house was very quaint, clean and just what I needed for a peaceful get away...would definitely stay again.

We loved the place. Perfect for a few friends to hang out. The shared living room space allowed for relaxing and comfortable area to chat. The dining table downstairs also worked out great for a shared meal. It truly is a beautiful home, and I definitely would recommend and rent again. Location is quiet and you can't hear the traffic on River Road at all. Since it was winter and a bit chilly, we didn't use the outdoor space. But I hope to rent this beautiful place again in the spring or summer to enjoy the outdoors. Thank you, Griselda, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Nancy was a wonderful host and her home was absolutely perfect! Our group of 6 was able to relax and enjoy wine country without worrying about a thing. We had fun in the game room as well as the hot tub, and even had time to watch a movie. The location is perfect, both close to town and also secluded. The house is clean, well appointed, and extremely welcoming. We hope to be back to visit again!!

Jeanette’s house is nestled in the woods a perfect setting to get away. The house was very comfortable and well stocked with just about everything you can think of. There was a lot of artwork and homey touches. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful and peaceful cottage on the river! Everything was just as pictured, with warm designer touches. The hot tub was wonderfully clean, and the linens were crisp and fresh. Second (outdoor) bathroom and shower downstairs was a great surprise. Fireplace was lovely. A really well managed property in a unique location. Try ziplining, or an in-house massage :). Loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We would rent this place again! We chose it as a holiday retreat because it looked like a good place to entertain our friends in the area, with a large open kitchen and comfortable lounging spots, and it delivered in that regard. As is the case with almost any short-term rental, if you're planning to do significant cooking, you'll need to bring your own kitchen tools -- we packed in (or had friends bring over) a food processor, hand held mixer, decent knives and a vegetable peeler. The place had a Vitamix blender and an immersion blender, both of which were a happy surprise. The other happy surprise: A beautiful Christmas tree.

Amazing view of the Tómales Bay, Dillon’s beach and Point Reyes. Enjoyed fresh oysters and elephant seal watching for a perfect getaway! Toni’s place was spacious and very comfortable for 5 of us plus dogs. Would love to stay again!

Perfect place! Clean and comfortable. Good location. Linda was communicative and pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.

Truly, home was so perfect, warm, inspiring, and welcoming. A short walk to the beach, many places to read, create art, and just enjoy the wild and beautiful location. Sha Sha was a great communicator and the home had everything we needed to ring in the new year!

Amy and Edgar are the most gracious hosts! Any issues (unlikely) are dealt with quickly and without a fuss. The rooms are nice and nicely appointed. Not stuffy but comfortable. The location is great if you like to walk. The trailhead is a short (steep) walk up the hill. Plenty of great restaurants in San Anselmo and Fairfax to make you feel like you need that workout! Marin hiking is world-class in general. Just find a trailhead and start walking!

The entire experience was just lovely -- and as advertised! We'd love to stay there again. Although Lisa and Dana were off in Arizona, they responded to a couple of inquiries in almost real time! And the food in the freezer was a welcome surprise as well.

The house was perfect for us. The location was close to everything we wanted to see and do. Very close to hiking and a short drive for day trips to wine country and exploring cities and beaches. Annie was a great host. Checking in was very easy and she was available for anything we needed. I'd look forward to staying in her home on future trips.

We were looking for a place that was dog friendly, private and peaceful , in a scenic area and fun for our family of 4. Sweet Creek delivered. We wish we could have stayed longer but the one night we were there was special for our family and Cookie was a super gracious host. Thanks.

We’ve just returned from spending a wonderful week in Heron House at The Sea Ranch. For those readers in a hurry, let me simply say that we will book this home again. We would recommend Heron House, without reservation, to our best friends. I don’t think we found anything wrong with the house and its amenities. Indeed, we have never stayed in a rental house that was nicer or that had more of the conveniences that make this a home, not just a place to stay. The views of the ocean are stunning from the deck and living room, and there is a back deck that is peacefully pointed toward the trees that line the Northern end of Sea Ranch. We haven’t stayed anywhere that had a better equipped kitchen. The bathrooms were spotless, as was the rest of the house, and big walk-in showers were available in both bedrooms. I’m looking at our calendar now to see when we have the time to visit again.

Beautiful home and very quaint town. The home and backyard were gorgeous and there’s a great restaurant or two a few minutes walking away. Very drivable to downtown Sonoma which was super nice.

Stayed here with my partner and really enjoyed the view and the amenities. The host were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable and sauna and outdoor shower was phenomenal. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely house in a quiet neighborhood. Amenities and supplies were as described, and the house had a very open, relaxing and warm flow to it. Great family trip especially with the heated pool in winter! Gina was very helpful and responsive with all of our questions ahead of and during our stay.

The most incredible home and location!! So far exceeded our expectations!! The setting was gorgeous and serene and perfectly located - short drive to amazing restaurants and vineyards!! We’re already searching for our next opportunity to visit this amazing property!! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!

This was ideal home for we five friends looking to enjoy wine tasting, great restaurants, shopping, cooking in-house, spacious rooms. Large attractive table for meals; cozy kitchen nook with afternoon sun; living room ideal for relaxing and playing charades. For the reasonable extra fee, we enjoyed the warm pool in cold winter. Beds were comfy-so important. Nice to have the 2 bathrooms. Located just under 2 miles from Sonoma Plaza and close to local wineries. Nearby- outstanding Sonoma Market for fresh everything. Quick communication from host.

If I could give a 10 star review I would. We stay in a lot of different places. The birdhouse is so peaceful and has all of the things you could need in the kitchen. We will definitely be back.

Great find in Sonoma! Well located with easy walks but in a peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of space for our four women on a girls’ trip!

Great place to be especially if you like to walk/hike (forest, beach, pool) and don't mind going uphill. The view is also great as this house is high above the ocean.
