Casa Panama: Relax in Luxury on the Sonoma Coast

Casa Panama's spectacular setting is overlooking the Russian River Estuary and the Pacific Ocean with breathtaking views and sunny living areas. This well-appointed property is surrounded by thousands of acres of parkland and open space. A haven for restorative retreats, reunions and family gatherings, and for the activity minded, there is bird watching, hiking, biking and kayaking at your doorstep. Four bedrooms and a high-end sofa bed allow you to sleep 10.

The owners unit at Casa Panama is occupied by Toni and your privacy is her highest concern. Entrances and outdoor spaces are entirely separated and privatized. Inside the home, a third of the space between her space and Casa Panama is left unoccupied for soundproofing. Noise is really sincerely never an issue so feel comfortable to not worry about that. There is a very friendly mature miniature poodle on the property along with an indoor cat but neither animal ever has any access to the rental portion inside or out.

Please always call on Toni if you need anything at all. She has been in this business for over 30 years and sincerely enjoys hosting her guests. She delights in helping you plan your stay while taking pride as a long term resident with experience in the area. You will find a well researched Welcome Book in the house with restaurants and things to do plus everything you need to know about how things work at the house. You can also refer to our new Guide Book on this site.

The neighborhood is small and quaint and you will be delighted to know the roads have recently been repaved! This is a seaside town on the hill overlooking the Russian River as it makes its way to the sea. Most of the homes are smaller second homes. Casa Panama stands out as being one of the original homes in the area and is one of the most formidable in size and location. Be sure to visit the coffee shop on the river as you come into town where besides great coffee and sandwiches you will be entertained by local musicians on the outdoor stage. Next door to the coffee shop is a new wine tasting business, the Visitor Center and the Post Office. Kayaks are available just in front on the water making it fun to take a quick trip out to the beach or up river. Walk the beaches. Watch the birds. See the seals. Collect shells and driftwood. Go fishing. Check out Bodega Bay. Zip Line through the Redwoods at Canopy Tours on the way to Occidental! Have breakfast there at Howards Cafe! Eat at the Union Hotel! Shop til you drop. Take the drive back down Coleman Rd to the coast!

Just 10 minutes away on Hwy 116 heading towards Guerneville is Duncans Mills where there are wonderful shops, another great coffee shop with fresh baked pastries and pizza and two wonderful restaurants and a wine shop that has a stellar reputation! There's great sandwiches at the market too!! Don't miss this treasure. See both sides of the street. Christopher Queen Art Gallery is famous!! Tell Nancy Toni sent you.

Stay longer. No matter how long you stay it's not enough. This is an ecotourism paradise!! Take a short walk up the hill into The Jenner Headlands to explore 14 miles of amazing hiking trails along the coast or walk the beaches from Goat Rock to Bodega Bay.

Cafe Aquatica is the town center for coffee, delicious food and live music on the weekends. Afternoons are for wine tasting at Jenner’s new wine tasting bar. We are very proud to be the town where Rivers End Restaurant is located. It is one of the finest restaurants in all of Sonoma County and is about 3 minutes drive away! Beaches and hiking trails are all around the immediate area along with plenty of famous wineries! For shopping don’t miss Duncan’s Mills and Occidental or the fun coastal shops and galleries in Bodega Bay. Or, for deep sea fishing or other water sports Bodega Bay will also accommodate!

Day Trip and explore north along Hwy 1 for Fort Ross and some of the most scenic areas along the California coast or go south and end up tasting oysters on the way to Point Reyes. When Jenner is home base you will be amazed at all there is to see and do.

At Casa Panama, the fenced ground level decks which, include the spa are for your private use. The driveway is shared with the owner but it’s large enough to accommodate several of your automobiles and it does not face the owners area or disturb her in any way.

A majestic setting overlooking the ocean and scenic Russian River in Jenner. 4 bedrooms 3.5 bath "Casa Panama" sleeps two to ten. Casa Panama is located on the hill above scenic Hwy 1, ten miles north of Bodega Bay and 10 miles from Guerneville. This area is marketed as an ecotourism destination because it is surrounded by over 10,000 acres of open space and plenty of nature based activities this region has to offer: walks on the beach, hiking, kayaking and canoeing, swimming, surfing, bird watching, horseback riding, zip-lining, fishing, golfing, paragliding, mountain biking, skate boarding, wind surfing, sea lions and whale watching, fine dining, or just sitting listening to the sea while reading a good book!

As you wander around the terraced decks gazing at this acre of paradise, you will experience both the peace and the drama of the Russian River as it meets the sea. The neighborhood is isolated and quiet yet close enough to plenty of fun activities that will keep you coming back for more. Don’t miss the Jenner Headlands just recently opened, with 14 miles of hiking trails a short walk up the hill.

This eclectic home is designed for your comfort, privacy and indoor/outdoor panoramic enjoyment. Sensuous bedrooms are lavishly appointed with cable TV's, plush comforters, pillows and drapes, giving you first class comfort on quality top rated beds. The hardwood floors, imported carpets, furnishings, and fine art create a luxurious ambiance worthy of a king. Bathe yourself in soothing gold hues in tiled bathrooms with large showers.

The professional kitchen looks beyond the dining room to spectacular views of the mouth of the Russian River as it meets the sea. The kitchen has all new appliances: large gas stove, family-size refrigerator, two stainless prep sinks, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and gourmet cooking supplies. We suggest dinner on the patio for evening gatherings or on the expansive deck overlooking the dramatic river and ocean views.

Fine dining nearby; adorable coffee/ lunch shop just down the hill; shop local boutiques and eat at wonderful restaurants in Duncan's Mills; go wine tasting in Jenner or find numerous wineries up to 30 minutes away, drive up the coast to Fort Ross or beyond or drive down the coast to Bodega Bay or beyond to Point Reyes. There is so much to do here you will truly wish you’d stayed an extra day.

Transit in Jenner is EcoTourism at its best. Mornings are a great time to stroll down the hill to Aquatica Cafe for coffee and pastries or a delicious sandwich and salad. Sit outside listen to music on weekends or just quietly sit and watch the river flow past.

While you're down at the river consider reserving a kayak or a kayaking tour i.e. star gazing or a bird watching trip around Penny Island. Surfing and wind sailing are for the brave at heart or are enjoyable to watch from a distance too. Be sure to visit the Jenner Visitor's Center just next door to the cafe. Another option is to head up the hill from the house a short walk to the back gate of the Jenner Headlands or drive just 1.5 miles north on Hwy. 101 to the Headlands Trailhead main gate. Either way enjoy access to 14 miles of new trails and expansive views in this new park! You will need to bring those hiking shoes! Don’t forget to check Sonoma County Parks for maps of hiking breathtaking trails all along the coast!! We’re pretty sure wine tasting might not be considered an ecotourism activity but for all of you interested, we suggest you check on line for wineries or tours in West Sonoma County. This is also wine country!

The area is well known for Levi’s GranFondo bike race. This event was the brainchild of professional road cyclist Levi Leipheimer who used to train here on these roads which is how his tough training route became a famous event that finishes dramatically coming down Hwy 1! Organize your own group to ride his route event or not with Casa Panama as a perfect starting and ending point.

Rent a car conveniently at the Sonoma County Airport 30 minutes away.

We all need family getaways maybe more now than ever but we need to feel safe. Here's the extra precautions we are taking to advance our 5* cleaning service for our guests and family and friends.

Since viruses die faster in sunlight and in high humidity, we immediately open the house hours before your arrival and air it out completely. At Casa Panama we are fortunate to have the benefit of full sun from sun-up to sundown with a little higher humidity. Couple that with fresh air and sea breezes and you will likely agree this atmosphere can revitalize both your health and your spirit.

As a proactive precaution we are wiping down all hard surfaces including floors, cabinets, counter surfaces, appliances with a bleach solution. Since the best defense against active viruses remains frequent hand washing we make sure there is plenty of soap, paper towels and wipes in all kitchens and bathrooms for your use. All bedding is changed and washed between guests. We want to thank you for your patronage and let you know how much we care about your families’ welfare and your experience here.

Family River/Ocean View Vacation

The house and property is very nice. The gardens are well maintained and the views of the river and ocean are beautiful from the large picture windows, or various deck levels. We had plenty of room for the six of us to gather together, or to go off on our own for quiet time. Great location to visit various parks, beaches, wineries, and restaurants. We would definitely stay again if in the area!!

60th Birthday Celebration

My family and closest friends gathered at Casa Panama for my 60th birthday celebration. What a delight! This house is absolutely fabulous. The views are stunning. You could stay here, not venture out, and be perfectly happy. Kayaking in the rivermouth was unforgettable, with seals popping up to say hi , and bird watching so fun. So perfect for a special occasion celebration. Toni, our host, was lovely. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with her.

The Best

Casa Panama is the best view up and down the Russian River to the ocean at Goat Rock Beach. The house feels totally secluded -- no roofs are in front of you, just trees and the water. You wouldn't even know there's a road below, it's so quiet. The house was perfect for our reunion of 3 families, 10 people total including 4 young kids who had a blast (quietly of course). This could be the nicest place we've stayed in ever, including Europe.

Luxury and Comfort in the heart of Sonoma Coast

The house is gorgeous and spacious with fabulous views of the Russian River and Sonoma Coast. We found it immensely relaxing. A bonus is the kitchen is very well-stocked, the beds are super comfortable, and the house is within walking distance from a cafe, restaurant, outdoor activities, and wine tasting.

Serenity on the River

5 star experience. The description on VRBO is accurate. The property and grounds were beautiful and the overall experience was one of calm serenity. Tony and team were proactive, attentive and overall a delight to work with. In short, if you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful environment, with much to do should you decide to venture out, but beauty and tranquility if you do not, the Casa Panama should be at the top of your list.

Elegant seaside home

The interiors of this house are fabulous. I loved the all-wood floors, walls, and ceilings, with the ceilings painted a high-gloss white to reflect the seaside light. Lots of options for outdoor seating. Easy walk to the convenience store, waterside cafe, or oceanfront restaurant. Quiet! Amazing views over the Russian River and out to the Pacific.

We had the most incredible stay at Casa Panama and Villa Vista - we rented all three spaces for 7 people and it was perfect for everyone to have their own space.

Beautiful home, spectacular views

We had 7 adults and one toddler stay four nights for a family reunion and everyone loved Casa Panama! The table was big enough for 10 for a birthday dinner, the rooms were comfortable, & the decor was charming, especially all the original paintings. Close to breaches, wineries & Armstrong Redwoods State Park. Toni was helpful & easy to communicate with. Road is steep & parking a bit tight. But I’d love to stay there again someday.

Graduation Celebration

The stunning views from Casa Panama were appreciated from multiple vantage points in a house clearly designed to best appreciate them. We took full advantage of the local hike up the hill from the house, and the easy access to launch our canoe. Multiple walks are a short drive away. The house is well supplied for cooking and sleeping (although the pullout couch downstairs would benefit from a pad on top), and several in our party took advantage of the hot tub. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect place for family bonding!

My siblings and I are all in our 40s/50s, and haven’t gone on a family trip together in 20 years! This was the perfect place for us to have an adventure and reconnect. The view was INCREDIBLE, the decks + hot tub were super fun for outdoor hangout/BBQ time, and the bedrooms were all super comfortable. Plus, kayaks are only a 4-minute walk down the hill, and gorgeous beaches + hiking trails are just a few minutes away, as well. If I could give this place better than a perfect score, I would. We didn’t wanna leave and would love to come back.
