Oceanfront - Hot Tub - Newly Remodeled Cottage

Fox Kit Cottage offers an exciting ocean experience in sumptuous comfort. As you scroll through the pictures you will see there is nothing in Bodega Bay like it. Well-appointed, it has two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed, the other with two twin beds, and one bathroom. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or a vacation for a small family.

With its remodel in 2011and further enhancements in 2018, the cottage continues as an upscale retreat for its owners and guests. Sitting above Wright’s Beach, views dominate from nearly every room, and intense ocean scenes are customary. From the beautifully designed deck and spa, you will relax, unwind, and feel what the power of the sea can do for your soul.

The ocean is not the only attraction. There is wildlife everywhere. Birds, whales, and fox (the cottage’s namesake) are just a sampling. From two short paths – Monterey Pine Path, and Bluff Path, you will enjoy the coastal landscape and incredible views. The spacious lot hosts a majestic, intricately intertwined, 40-year old Monterey Pine tree, with a path under its canopy and a stone bench to sit and admire natural arbor artistry. The Bluff Path takes you down to a bench amongst the freshwater springs, flowering foliage, with the vast ocean below.

Furnishings reflect a commitment to clean contemporary design, local art, and attention to detail. Amenities include quality bedding, thick bath towels and robes, and natural toiletries, setting this home apart from others. Those who like to cook will appreciate the 5-burner gas stove and fully stocked kitchen. For more details go to foxkitcottage dot com.

There are activities nearby for everyone: Horseback riding on the beach, surfing at Salmon Creek Beach, pampering at the Osmosis Spa, hiking among ancient redwoods at Armstrong Grove, golfing at Bodega Harbour, abalone diving, kayaking and swimming on the Russian River, zip-lining at Occidental. The list goes on and on, and we are happy to provide suggestions!

Wonderful views!
If you want to stay at a place with a great view, look no further. Upon approach the house looks wonderful and is surrounded by many plants and an epic tree to the left. Upon our arrival a neighbor greeted us and offered our kids some popsicles to enjoy in the hot tub, she was very pleasant and friendly. Ocean views from the kids room, the dining area and tv room. There is a good sides wooden deck and large garden filled with many succulents. My wife loved the garden and our family had aphotoshoot in the big tree. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the pantry had some useful items as well. The jacuzzi was on and ready but unfortunately we never got to use it as there were high winds. Downsides - bathroom ceiling is a bit low in areas including in front of the sink. If you're tall, approaching the sink from the side may be best. If you're short, the bathroom sink to be fairly high. Beware of ants, but hey living by the beach tends to come with the risk of ants. Keep a clean kitchen and airseal your open snacks, even then you will run across them. I wouldn't recommend sitting on the toilet before checking for ants or leaving toiletries exposed on the counter. There is spray in the pantry, which will come in handy. The bigest downside for us was that we werent aware of the ant problem until we ourselves had an ant problem.There are small traps throughout the house you will eventually come across as well, we just wished we knew ahead of time.

Great view but needs maintenance and simple cost improvements. BEWARE.
I wanted to take some time before I wrote this review to accurately describe the property. The view from the deck is simply beautiful. House overlooks the ocean and its quite a feeling to wake up and see the ocean. However, the property management and property needs work and attention. The first issue we were greeted with was ants. Each morning the counters were covered with ants. We cleaned every day. More issues include cookware that was a hodge podge of goodwill level pans. The pans are in horrible shape, utensils were a mismatch of random items. We tried to cook eggs in the pans, but that was failure. The overall kitchen items were old, worn out and needed replacement. The overall kitchen needed some love, etc There was no aluminum foil, the spices were all out of date, salt of out stock, etc. We had planned to cook one item, but the kitchen was bare bones. The bedding in the master bedroom has spots of blood on the comforter. The blind in the master bedroom was broken and held held together with binder clips. You couldn't open the blinds in the master bedroom for light.We reached out to the property manager for towels as only 2 towels were provided. We had read a few reviews of a beeping noise. The management company had removed the smoke alarm. BEWARE. Overall, great views but the management/owner needs to remedy some of the problems. We reached out afterwards and they said never been brought up before. Property owners seem cheap and don't care about issues.

We loved this property! The pictures can’t do the view justice! There’s nothing like watching the surf and sunset from a spa, a balcony or comfortable sofa! We so enjoyed the layout of the cottage and all the amenities. We have to mention Meg, the neighbor who welcomed us so sweetly with a homemade treat! She was so friendly and helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay! We will definitely be coming back!

Sublime Bodega Coast Cottage
What an absolutely sublime coastal property the Fox Kit Cottage is! Immediately we wished we’d booked at least 3 nights because two full days at minimum is a must. The cottage felt more like a small home in that it was spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we didn’t need to purpose half the items we brought along (such as pots, measuring cups, etc.). A delight to prepare meals in, truly! On top of the thoughtful kitchen was the comfortable bedding. My mom had the master bedroom as she’s recovering from knee replacement surgery. She loved her bedroom and cozy queen bed. I was in the second bedroom on the bottom bunk. What a restful little room with its high-quality foam mattress and window ocean views to wake up and gaze upon. I was impressed. The living furnishings were all comfortable too and the home was pristinely clean. I have rented many homes globally and this by far supplied the most “livable” and versatile furniture (plus plenty of toiletries and other conveniences like paper towels and tissues). Fabulous and considerably sized bare wood dining table too. Loved it! And of course, the cheery on top was the impeccable, unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, in all its magnificence. Taking it in from the amply sized hot tub was an enormous bonus too. We spent a lot of time soaking, and it did wonders for my mom’s healing knee. What's more, check-in and check-out was a piece of cake!

Unplugged downtime in a magical place
Ocean air, clean well appointed place, comfortable beds, incredible views, beach walks, sweet neighbors and a magical Monterey pine made this a perfect place for a restorative stay. Nature put on a five star performance as well; we enjoyed sunrises, sunsets, beautiful days and cozy nights. We also loved exploring Bodega Bay and enjoying the fresh seafood.

Favorite view!
My husband and I stay in multiple oceanfront properties every year all up and down the CA coastline. Fox Kit is one of the most stunning views we have had from our deck. The rugged rocks below make for some pretty spectacular crashing waves and, overall, the property is very private and peaceful. As other reviews have stated the ceiling in the bathroom is low but, even though we are both tall, it really wasn't a big deal and in no way detracts from what a great place this cottage is...inside and out!

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and charming, with many thoughtful touches, and the view is spectacular. Unfortunately, we weren't clear that the bathroom is pretty far from the master bedroom, and is a bit cramped. Also, the master bedroom is pretty dark.
