Welcome to La Belle Vie in Bodega Harbour
La Belle Vie enjoys an enviable position within Bodega Harbour, just a six-minute walk from the Golf Shop, Blue Water Bistro Restaurant and the trail leading to Doran Beach. Come in the front door, head up twelve steps, and you reach a light-filled, single-level home with an open floor plan. Views of the ocean, Bodega Head and Doran Beach stretch out from the living room, kitchen, courtyard and master bedroom.
Comfortable Living Spaces
The living room is anchored by a big gas fireplace and a bookshelf wall stocked with titles on golf, wine and local hiking. An extra-large flat-screen TV swings out from the wall so you can watch it from either the living room or the kitchen. The TV stand holds additional books and more than 40 DVDs. For seating there is a sofa, two reclining chairs and a two-person mini loveseat.
A Kitchen Made for Cooking
The kitchen is the star of the house. A generous granite island with three bar stools sits at its centre, next to a side-by-side Viking refrigerator and a Viking gas range. A well-stocked hutch keeps the glassware, and the kitchen is set up for real cooking with a Dutch oven, slow-cooker, waffle iron, panini maker, pasta pot, quality knives and more. A distinctive corner window with a telescope frames the birds and sea lions on Bodega Rock or along the nearby Coastal Bird Walk trail.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Down the hallway to the left you'll find the guest bathroom, featuring two sinks, two separate cabinets with their own outlets, a hair dryer, extra room between the sinks and a large walk-in shower with three shower heads. Both guest rooms come with queen beds, dressers, luggage racks, benches and plenty of hangers. The master offers all of the same plus a king bed and a water view through the courtyard.

Learn MoreBodega Bay: Where to Eat
These restaurants are either highly recommended to us or ones we have tried ourselves and are happy to suggest. A real gem in Bodega Bay is Terrapin Creek, a cosy and casual dining experience that also holds a Michelin star. If Open Table shows no openings, give them a call. Gourmet Au Bay is the perfect stop when visiting Bodega Head, with a great wine and food menu and sheltered outdoor seating; note that when it is busy the wait for food can be long. Hog Island Oysters is worth the 25-minute drive for fantastic fresh oysters, with outdoor seating only, and calling ahead for a table is highly suggested. Wild Flour Bread in Freestone is a destination for good reason; don't be discouraged by long lines, as they move quickly. Just up the road from the bread store, visit Omar at his amazing cheese shop, Artisan Cheese. Omar will offer you samples of anything, and he also has local specialties, jams and olives. Worth a visit.
Learn MoreSince 1993: La Belle Vie
We bought LBV in the summer of 2018. The house had never been rented out before, so it carries the thoughtful details only a loved, lived-in home can offer — a pull-out pastry shelf, a dual-control wine cabinet and a built-in hutch filled with extensive glassware, serving trays and even a panini pan. That summer we added new bedding, towels, books, videos, built-in USB ports, a cable TV in each room and other touches we appreciated after years of renting homes ourselves. The team at Bodega Bay & Beyond does a wonderful job keeping the house clean and ready for every guest. We visit regularly to check on the 'small' things and usually bring in items guests have asked for, such as a pizza stone. We also have family nearby, so it's a chance to spend time at the beach with our nephews. We hope you enjoy your stay at LBV, and please take a moment to share your thoughts and suggestions with us.
Sincerely, Jennifer and Kevin
