Best views on Sonoma Coast!Oceanfront,private hot tub, fire pit, pets considered

After a day of beach combing, Sonoma Coast trail hiking, crab or chowder eating, wine sipping and art collecting retire to your deck for a sunset sip and a lighting of the oceanfront fire pit on the deck. Enjoy views of the stars in the dark sky from the private hot tub. 2 bedrooms and baths are on the top floor. All beds are queen sized to help you drift away to sleep as you listen to the waves. We have resident sea lions that hang out in front of the house and can be seen frolicking throughout the day! At certain times we live on property in separate private quarters with a separate entrance. It is our part time residence. When you send an inquiry for specific dates we can tell you if we will be there at that time. Even then, you will still have the 2 beds/ 2 baths/kitchen / living room/ deck/ fire pit/ BBQ grill and hot tub all to yourselves.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Wifi and cell signal is spotty in this area and is not guaranteed for your stay. At times there may be limited or no wifi access, which can be nice to relax and unplug sometimes. Verizon cell service typically is very strong but other carriers may not work throughout the town. To access beach you have a 1-2 minute drive, or you can walk down the driveway and down a steep hill to the sand. Please ask any questions you have before booking.

Awesome Views!
Little cottage type home sitting above the ocean with amazing views. Easy walk to the beach below. Was a great few day get away listening to the ocean waves. Cheryl is an amazing host and answered my questions several times before our arrival and was very accessible if needed. Thanks for your hospitality.

Met our expectations in every way
Easy, friendly and accurate communication with our host. Beautiful location on the cliff top overlooking sea,rocks and beach. Cooked great meals in the kitchen and played board games in front of fires- both inside and out. Location was great for hiking and a short drive to fun breakfast, lunch and dinner places on the ocean. We will become regulars:)

Peace and tranquility right on the ocean! Heaven on earth!
Property manager was hands down AMAZING! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for ocean view, ocean access, the sound of waves crashing all day and night on one side and beautiful rolling fields and frogs croaking at night on the other side. It’s heaven on earth.

Sounds of the ocean
Lovely family style home directly on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Large amount of deck space for kids and dogs. Beach access right next door. I had a lovely COVID get away just listening to the waves and watching sunsets. Owners are wonderful to deal with.

Stunning beachfront cottage
We just loved staying here so much we never wanted to leave. Beautiful ocean front cottage that has everything necessary for your stay. Complete kitchen, tv’s in every room, and the sound of the ocean. It’s ocean front not just an ocean view like most places here. And Cheryl is extremely friendly and just a text away should you have any questions.

Sonoma Coast beach house with world class beach
Cheryl’s place is what legends are made of. Spectacular views of the Sonoma coastline with access to the beach. We all literally felt life’s tension lift from our bodies and souls as we descended the staircase . Just over the top amazing experience that has given us a lifetime memory.

Unbeatable location
This was our second stay at the property, and the best part about it is the incredible location. Truly unbeatable nonstop views of the ocean, and a two minute walk around the corner to stick your feet in the sand at Scotty Creek beach. Lovely views from every room. Wonderfully attentive owner who is happy to help if there are any questions. Did I mention the amazing location and views???? We already daydream about returning.

VIEWS!!
This place is magical. You are right on top of the cliff overlooking the ocean. There is so much wildlife and beauty to observe. This place is all about the views. There are great outdoor spots to sit and enjoy the ocean or the farm across the road. There are also great windows to see the ocean from inside. Thanks for sharing your place!

Coastal Get Away
What a beautiful location! This is truly a hidden gem. The location was quiet, the house cozy and the outdoor space amazing. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the waves and the sea lions and just relaxing. The fire pit is lovely (although we had just come from smoke due to forest fires and didn't use it as we were just enjoying the fresh ocean air). I'm sure we will return.

Good house, great setting
Comfortable modest home, a bit dated but lovely nonetheless, perched on a spectacular setting above the ocean, a constant welcome presence in our stay there. Very nice hot tub on the road / farm side so can't combine the two (but can hear a symphony of frogs!). Hosts super communicative and helpful. Enjoyed hikes both north and south, with fresh local seafood lunches and returning to the marvelous perch for spectacular sunsets. Note wifi poor (as disclosed on listing transparently). Recommend home and locale highly

Great Stay
My wife and I have been going to Bodega Bay for many years now and this place was one of our favorites. Impossible to get any closer to the ocean and a one minute walk to an uncrowded beach. My 2-year old daughter and I did some "deck camping" and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The indoor bedrooms are also very comfortable. Great location just north of Bodega Bay - away from the crowds, but only 4-5 minutes to get into town. Hosts were very accommodating with excellent communication. Thanks for having us!

Breathtaking views
Perfect get away for hard working folks. You never want to leave the house and view as it is so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. What more can I say? Oh Yes....owners are very nice and considerate. Never met them but great experience by email. Highly recommended from someone who rents a lot of VRBO and Home Aways- Carmel, Monterey, Mendocino, and Sonoma. I will be back to this rental for sure.

Fantastic Views
We have never stayed in a VRBO where the owner was so responsive, helpful and informative. Her recommendations for the area's best clam chowder, hiking trails, and local wineries made our trip quiet memorable. The ocean views from the rental were simply incredible rain or shine. The fire pit was inviting, as well as a soak in the hot tub after a day's adventures. As a bonus, we also spotted sea lions and whales spouting on the horizon. The unit was well equipped and very clean. We highly recommend this rental especially if you enjoy the sound of the surf and crave relaxation.

Best views and beach just steps away!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at this lovely home. The views are quite possibly that best of any home we've ever rented on the Sonoma Coast. The upper level is quaint but and hosts two bed/two bath + the living room and kitchen. There is a third "apartment" on the lower level with it's own coffee maker and bathroom, but it is not accessible from the inside of the main living area (only from outside). The deck was a perfect location for enjoying the waves and sunset, and the firepit made evenings fun. The BBQ looks like it was once propane but now requires charcoal. The beach is just steps away and perfect for morning walks. We look forward to returning to this home!

Serenity by the sea
The views from this home are breathtaking! We had everything to enjoy a getaway off the grid. We were very comfortable in this welcoming home. It was very clean and Debbie had everything set up for us to take full advantage of all the amenities. Debbie was very accommodating and communicated with us to make sure our journey there and stay were great. There are several outdoor spaces , a built in grill, patio area , hot tub, and an ocean view firepit. We enjoyed a sunset by the firepit and wine. Your close to wineries, Russian river, and scenic coastal drives. Restaurants and grocery are all close by as well. Debbie is an excellent host and takes time to make sure you enjoy her property. We definitely recommend this home as a choice to stay in this area.

A True Gem on the Northern California Coast
Spectacular in every way . . . right above the cliff overlooking the Pacific. Perched above the rocky coast with amazing views, it was the perfect location for traveling Coastal California Highway 1. Our host, Cheryl, had everything in order: kitchen drawers marked with contents, night motion lights on the stairs that worked perfectly, hot tub for that late night dip, gas fireplace that came on with the flick of a button, outdoor fire pit on the porch, and she gave some super recommendations for places to visit and eat. Northern California is a different world with rocky coastline, quaint towns that harbor amazing restaurants, and of course wine vineyards galore. We could not have asked for a better cottage and a better host. This place will restore your soul!

Last minute getaway
We rented this property at last minute to avoid smoke in our area. Location is great but you cannot use the stairs, you see in a photo, to get down to the beach. It just takes a short walk to the beach though. AC didn’t work but opening windows worked to cool down the house. Bring your own logs for fire pit. The logs there were outside and not covered. The rate is quite high for what it is IMHO, however we were able to book this house in a wonderful location at last minute because of it, though.
