Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bodega Harbor

Really enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s in Duncan’s Mills—this place had it all! Beautiful scenic views right off the back balcony and easy river access, made us feel immersed in nature. Plenty to do with your own private dock, kayaks, bikes, hot tub, and nearby town/shops just a mile down the road. Would definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing and fun getaway. Kelly was also an excellent, responsive host and helped make our trip nice and smooth. Thank you!

Mary's cabin was a delightful stay! It's nestled in a charming little town. Coming from the city, being sorrounded by towering redwood trees felt magical, especially when stepping outside just before sunrise, breathting in the crisp air, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. During our stay we explored Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve, Johnson's Beach, and even took a quick trip down to San Francisco which is just an hour and half away. Overall, great spot!

Great place! My family of five adults was very comfortable and happy for a birthday weekend getaway. The views are amazing and it’s an easy walk to Portuguese Beach. The kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to prepare meals with no trouble. Best of all, the hot tub worked and was a great way to unwind and star gaze. Very relaxing and restful place.

We had a great stay! Christopher was very helpful and accommodating in all our communications.

My wife and I stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and I couldn't have found a better spot to get away to. It was such a cozy and peaceful location, and Aaron's home had everything we could ever need during our stay. The views were incredible, and the weather was fantastic. Aaron provided an extremely detailed guide to the area that helped us get a feel for where to go and what to do, and we hope to come back someday and stay again to experience more of the beauty of the surrounding area!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.

This coastal home was truly magical—perched right by the ocean with stunning views of the sunset and night sky. The house itself is beautifully designed, with so much love and care evident in every detail. It felt warm, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together. Ted was a fantastic host—very responsive and proactive, even informing us about a PG&E power outage that we didn’t even feel thanks to the battery backup. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and unforgettable stay.

We really enjoyed our time here and extended for an extra night. Majestic views of tomales bay/dillon beach from all rooms/deck and 5 min drive down hill to dillon beach which is dog friendly. The dogs had a blast splashing around in the natural tide pools at low tide.

We had a wonderful stay at David's TreeHouse Cabin! The redwoods surrounding it set the perfect backdrop for a morning on the front deck or a night on the back patio stargazing. The floor-to-ceiling windows and skylight really make you feel up in the trees, and we really loved cozying up by the wood fireplace in the evenings. Bathroom is small but gets the job done. Relaxing and a perfect retreat!

Really nice and comfortable apartment. Convenient to town but located in a quiet rural area. Would definitely stay again if I come back to Sebastopol. I visited on a hot weekend and having the windows open without AC worked out fine.

This place is a real gem. It was so quiet, very clean and very comfortable with absolutely everything that we needed. The house managers went above and beyond to help us and were very friendly and available. We felt right at home. The area is also stunning, very close to great hikes, beautiful beaches, and the town of occidental has some great restaurants, as well as Bodega and Sebastopol which are close by.

My husband and I (along with our 6 month old and our dog) enjoyed a perfect Fathers Day/Birthday weekend at Dennis's cottage! The location couldn't be better - so easy to grab provisions or a quick bite around the corner at the general store, and amazing to be able to walk to the beach in just a few minutes. The cottage is cozy - just the right size for two adults and a dog - with everything you need. Having a washing machine was extra convenient, and the balcony and fire place made for relaxing evenings. We love Dillon Beach and are so happy we found this place! Don't hesitate to book :)

My daughter and I were on a weekend get away. Upon our arrival, Camille greeted us warmly. Our place was located in a beautiful natural setting, among trees. There was also a small water view. It was a very peaceful setting. The bed was very comfortable. Camille was very responsive to any questions we had. My daughter and I had a wonderful time.

This was my second stay at Ewa's cottage. She is a wonderful host. Perfect location. We had planned to eat at a number of restaurants but the Tap Room , which was about 2 miles away, was so good we kept returning for their specials. I highly recommend this listing and look foward to my next stay.

The beautiful pictures and glowing reviews for this listing were a primary reason why we chose to book, and the reality absolutely met our expectations. My boyfriend and I just spent almost a week here to rejuvenate and unplug, and it was the perfect place to do so. We felt an immediate shift in energy upon arriving at this very serene and magical property. It was just as lovely as previous commenters have stated. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marykate, but her son conducted our check-in and was so friendly and kind and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had total privacy but still felt our needs were being taken care of. Everything was also so thoughtfully considered and supplied. Absolutely LOVED the beautiful and adorable free-range chickens. It was so peaceful and therapeutic to see them roaming around. Such a special place. It was a sad day when we had to leave, and I hope we will be back soon.

Nice unit. We did have some plumbing issues with the toilet but the front desk was able to assist. The AC unit also kept reseting itself to 75°. The air circulation is weird so it caused the unit to be extremely hot at night. Otherwise, the property was nice. Will definitely reserve again.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip. It was the perfect place, Kathy was very friendly and gave us so many recommendations around town to check out! The pool and hot tub were very clean and the perfect temperature. She even gave us a welcome bottle of wine and breakfast goodies! Definitely would recommend staying here to all my friends and family.

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

This place is increíble! Hosts were friendly and proactive. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature and the view is unbeatable. The recommendations for hikes and restaurants were spot on. My husband and I had an amazing little getaway and we’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, gorgeous place to stay!

We came a second time to Fred’s river home oasis. Our kids love the grounds and the stream is so peaceful. Pool is delightfully warm and with a Forest view. Come here for a nature escape. We will be back!

I’ve been eyeing Cena and Roger’s place for well over a year and had tried to book another time when it wasn’t available. This year I finally was able to stay and I honestly didn’t want to leave. What a special, unbelievably delightful stay it was. I’m a huge nature nerd and the amount of flowers and greenery made it feel like Hawaii. Tropical paradise. Complete with birds and lizards flirting about. This trip I was in town mostly for Bottlerock but I ended up just lounging around most of my mornings, reading and slowly getting ready for the day. It was hard to leave to go out every day because the property is that peaceful and beautiful. I am so thankful I got to enjoy this stunning space and cannot wait to hopefully stay there again. Roger and Cena are lovely, sweet people. They’ve made this their own little slice of heaven, which they so graciously share with others. Fabulous experience. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Chantelle's home. The location is ideal--tucked away on a quiet street and only 5 minutes away from Sonoma Square. We absolutely plan to rent her home again--it's perfect!

Great Host. Me and my Fiance would definitely stay again. Super comfy beds.
