Quaint Ocean Getaway, Walk to Beach, Dogs Invited

A perfect get-away for those who want to witness the abundance of nature on the Sonoma coast, surrounded by charm and comfort. Wedged between two dog friendly Sonoma State Beaches on a charming street west of the Pacific Coast Highway, this tiny jewel has everything you need. To the West, you’ll experience stunning sunsets, rejuvenating sea breeze, and the calming sounds of the waves. To East, you’ll see pastureland with bucolic rolling hills.

The House
80 years ago it was the stables of an adjacent ranch. It was tastefully converted by folks who made it their home for 60 years. We updated and brightened it, but maintained its original character with its wood paneling and Dutch door entry. The kitchen has gorgeous butcher block counters, a nespresso machine, a Breville oven, a full-size oven, a microwave and a dishwasher. The main living space has two sofas (one is a sofabed) and dining room table that seats four. The bedroom is cozy with a queen size bed that overlooks a private garden. Our remodeled bathroom utilizes every inch of space with a new shower, toilet and vanity. The water pressure is great!

A perfect spot for a couple. The sofabed in the living room can sleep an additional person or a couple of small kids. Dogs are welcome!

The Landscape
The front yard is a succulent showcase with something blooming year-round. Off the bedroom is lovely courtyard. From bed enjoy the birds at the birdbath or relax in the seating area with your morning coffee.

Activities
It’s a 5-minute walk to the state-maintained paths of Duncan’s Cove and Wright’s Beach. At The Cove you’ll find tide pools filled with ochre sea stars, sea anemones, mussels and dark, rich seaweed. Three miles north are tide pools at Shell Beach, home to sea anemones and occasionally small octopus.

Across from Shell Beach is Pomo Canyon trail that will take you to second growth redwood trees. Wrights Beach leads to the Kortum Trail, the longest cliff side trail in California. An easy and glorious walk! Great for the family.

Other activities include wine tasting in the Russian River Valley, horseback riding on the beach from Chandler Ranch, surfing at Salmon Creek Beach, pampering at the Osmosis Spa, hiking among ancient redwoods at Armstrong Grove, golfing at Bodega Harbor, kayaking and swimming on the Russian River…. The list goes on and on and we are happy to provide suggestions!

Internet and TV
Hi-speed internet gives you connection anywhere inside the house or out in the gardens. Fubu is used for live TV and streaming apps available include Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Hulu, etc. There is an Amazon Firestick.

Sweet spot!
We had a wonderful weekend away from the city without having to go too far from SF, but still felt like we were out in the country. Short walk to the beach, beautiful but not a beach you can really swim at, would have to drive a bit for that. Awesome to have a functional wood stove which added a nice relaxing vibe after sundown. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy little cliff house
We had a great time. It was very relaxing. Small place which worked out perfect for us. Easy walk to the beaches, which the dogs enjoyed as well. One beach has a pretty steep stair access so be careful. We really enjoyed our time. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your home.

Not quite what we expected...
While the house was cute, and the location was great, it was not at all what we expected. The ocean view was between two houses across the street. And it was a lot of steps to the beach, including, once you walked to the cliff, going down a fairly steep cliff path to get to the beach. If you know those things going in, it will be a better experience.

A great weekend was had
We came onsite and the place was easy to get into and nice and clean. The preliminary information received was all correct. Heaters were needed at first then the days warmed up and we no longer needed them. The kitchen was well appointed, and easy to work in. The bed was soft and comfortable. We truly had a great visit, we hope to come again, I think that is the best information to offer.

Perfect seaside getaway
Cute, quaint cottage. Perfect weather, spectacular views, close to a variety of beaches, hikes, and parks. Most amazing thing was falling asleep and waking up to the sound of ocean waves and feel of ocean breezes.

Weekend getaway
Perfect location! House was clean and had all the amenities desired. Small shower mentioned elsewhere was not an issue! Comfy bed! If I’m going to have one suggestion/ complaint- it would simply be there were no wine glasses- we made due with other glasses just fine however!! Definitely would rent again!

Cozy getaway for two
The house was adorable. It had everything we needed. Close proximity to multiple beaches. Only thing it lacked was a comfy and clean bed. The linens had a sour smell as if they had been washed and the bed was lumpy. Sorry, just being honest. But the rest of the place was very comfy.

Beautiful garden and cute property
We stayed this past weekend and were really pleased with the property and location. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with succulents and natives and even a barn swallow nesting in the doorway. The house is relatively an inline with one bedroom with not feeling small besides maybe the shower. The east side of house butts next to Highway 1 but you wouldn’t know it’s there. Plenty of utensils, spices, coffee maker and whatever you need to cook a meal-and someone left some bourbon which we indulged and contributed to the bar with some tequila. Super clean inside with the most comfortable bed ever, with books, games and a backyard patio. Walk down to Duncan Cove and Wrights beach within 5 minutes and quiet neighborhood. We will definitely come back thanks again!

Favorite VRBO ever
This place was perfect. Close to the beach and town. Beautiful and cozy home. Our favorite part was he could hear the waves of the ocean at night and lots of cows across the street. I highly recommend this place and we’ll definitely be coming back again.

Amazing house
Best WiFi experience at a vacation rental ever (Starlink satellite). The house is full of interesting things. Kitchen was well stocked. This is an historic horse barn, and you'd never know unless they told you. The garden is well maintained and, paths through it are well marked and easy to use. The enclosed side yard does exist and access is through the bedroom.

Perfect location & size
This house was perfect for an anniversary weekend with our dog. It’s just about a 5 min walk to two different dog friendly beaches. The house also has a VERY well stocked kitchen with enough blankets to keep you warm at night. It’s also equidistant between the downtown of Bodega Bay and Jenner. Great experience, will visit again!

Magical Honeymoon on the Sonoma Coast
Our recent honeymoon at the cottage was an absolute delight! The location couldn't be better; right by the coast, allowing us to go hiking straight from our front door. We spent a few days exploring the rugged and stunning Sonoma coast, trekking through the redwood forests, visiting vineyards for tastings, and indulging in a Japanese-style spa. While the restaurants in the area are great, we appreciated that the cottage was fully equipped with everything you need to cook a great meal. Watching the sunset while sipping a glass of wine and admiring the succulent garden in front of the cottage was so much fun and the vibe was incredibly peaceful. You can really feel the environment of the coast on the property, the air is so clean and the sound of the ocean helped us zonk out at night after a long day. As was mentioned in other reviews, it can get chilly at night. The cottage has some electric heating and some extra radiators in the closet which worked great, but we preferred to rely on the wood burning stove. We found it to be a charming addition to our stay, and enjoyed curling up by the fire in the evenings. We loved our time at the cottage and are already planning our next trip back!
