Cozy Carmet Cottage With two beautiful beaches within a few minutes' stroll and a private hot tub overlooking the ocean awaiting your return, this inviting home just north of Bodega Bay offers a tranquil, memorable experience on the Northern California Coast. Step inside to find a living space with travertine and hardwood floors, windows that run the length of the house, and lovely views of the Pacific Ocean. The living room features a wood-burning stove, a flatscreen TV mounted above the hearth, and comfortable sofas to sink into after a day spent beachcombing. There's plenty of room to cook in the kitchen, as well as ample space to dine at the eat-in table, in the eight-person dining room, and outside on the expansive deck with a gas grill and a view of the water. As the sun begins to set, it's the perfect time to soak in the hot tub on the raised portion of the deck, gather around the outdoor firepit in the yard, or move into the recently added family room to mix cocktails at the bar and find a game or a movie to watch on the second flatscreen TV. And with two Pack 'N Plays, two booster seats, a washer/dryer, and an assortment of toys, this home is sure to bring comfort and ease to guests of all ages.
