Bodega Bay Inn is a family-owned 18-room boutique inn in Bodega Bay since 1983 — five-minute walk to the beach. Earth-toned rooms, common room with games and WiFi, neighboring Terrapin Creek restaurant, and 'great buy' pricing make this an accessible alternative to the area's larger luxury resorts.
A family-owned coastal inn since 1983 — a 'great buy' five minutes from the beach.
Bodega Bay Inn is the kind of place that doesn't appear on most luxury hospitality lists — a small family-owned boutique inn that has been welcoming travelers to Bodega Bay since 1983. The 18 updated guest rooms are styled with natural earth tones, simple but inviting furnishings, mini refrigerators, and private patios or decks. While not directly waterfront, glimpses of Bodega Bay are visible from many rooms, and the beach is a five-minute walk away. The scale and ethos make the inn an accessible alternative to the area's larger luxury resorts while maintaining the warm hospitality that defines great independent properties.
The common room offers free WiFi, board games, DVDs, complimentary coffee and tea, and an inviting space for guests to gather and meet other travelers. Though there is no on-site restaurant, Bodega Bay Inn is conveniently next door to Terrapin Creek — a beloved Bodega dining destination — and within walking distance of the village's other restaurants, fishing fleet, and shops. The inn is widely regarded as a 'great buy' — high standards of hospitality at accessible pricing, in one of California's most striking coastal settings.
Ted Dechant is the family owner of Bodega Bay Inn, the 18-room boutique inn his family has run since opening it as an art gallery in 1983 — only converting to a hotel about 15 years later. A UC Santa Cruz alum and longtime Bodega Bay local, Ted is the on-site, hands-on owner guests reliably encounter at check-in: walking the gardens, recommending hikes and restaurants, and running the property as the kind of independent coastal inn that's become rare on the California coast.
The Dechant family has operated Bodega Bay Inn since 1983, making it one of the few remaining independently family-run lodgings on the Sonoma Coast. The 16-room property sits five minutes from the harbor and beach, with glimpses of Bodega Bay from many rooms and a common room stocked with games for guests who linger between coastal walks.
