Pinnacle Heights

The stay

Watch gray whales breach from your living room as Pacific storms roll across the horizon. This hilltop retreat puts you above it all with sweeping ocean views from nearly every room. Three bedrooms sleep six comfortably. Just steps from the Pinnacle Gulch Trail leading to tide pools below. Fresh crab sandwiches at Spud Point are 2.5 miles away, Fishetarian Fish Market just 1.8 miles. The Sonoma Coast unfolds before you — where watching the sunset becomes the evening's main event.

The space

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. Two sofas and an armchair face a wood-burning fireplace set against a deep-blue accent wall, the picture windows pulling the Pacific in. Beneath a Tiffany-style pendant, honey-toned cabinetry lines the kitchen and a ladder-back table sets casual breakfasts. A separate formal dining room — ornate table under a skylight, built-in bookshelves stocked with vacation reads — is where evenings stretch over a bottle and a slow second course. OUTDOOR LIVING The wraparound deck becomes your outdoor living room, with built-in bench seating along light blue railings and white Adirondack chairs for morning coffee. The elevated position delivers panoramic views over rolling hills, and a gas grill stands ready for fresh harbor seafood. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The master welcomes you with a king bed on carpeted floors. A second bedroom offers a queen bed with light blue walls and coastal decor, the third another queen bed with a dark metal frame. Sleeps 6.

Neighborhood

Your hilltop perch in Bodega Harbour puts you at the heart of California's most dramatic coastline. The Pinnacle Gulch Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, leading down to tide pools and a quarter-mile beach. For that famous Dungeness crab sandwich, Spud Point Crab Company is 2.5 miles at the harbor. Closer dining includes Fishetarian Fish Market (1.8 miles) for sustainable seafood and The Dog House (1.6 miles) for casual bites. Stock up on groceries at Diekmann's Bay Store (2.4 miles) or grab morning coffee at Captain Davey's (1.6 miles). Doran Beach stretches for 2 miles just 1.4 miles away — perfect for beachcombing and kite flying. The dramatic bluffs of Bodega Head, where volunteers help spot migrating whales January through May, rise 2.4 miles south. Wine lovers can taste cool-climate Pinot Noir at Sonoma Coast Vineyards (1.7 miles), the only tasting room in town.

Guest access

Step out to the elevated deck with built-in seating and Bodega Bay opens up below — vaulted, beamed ceilings and skylights pulling light through the great room behind you. The whole home is yours, with a wood-burning fireplace and ocean views from inside. Punch in the keypad code at the door, and pull up to three cars in the driveway.

Things to know

• The home stays naturally cool thanks to ocean breezes and coastal fog — typical Bodega Bay highs reach only 60s-70s even in summer, so you won't miss air conditioning. • Bring layers! • Morning fog often burns off by afternoon. • The wood-burning fireplace creates perfect ambiance for storm watching in winter — firewood available locally. • The primary renter must be 21 or older. • The deck has stunning views; ocean views from inside the home vary by room. • High-speed internet is available throughout the home. • For the full coastal experience, time your visit for gray whale migration (December-May) or the clear, warm days of fall.
