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.
