PROPERTY AMENITIES

-- 1 bedroom, 1 bath

-- Private hot tub



Guest Access:

The entire home is yours to enjoy -- make yourself at home from the moment you arrive. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.



The Neighborhood:

Nestled where the Gualala River meets the Pacific, this small coastal town offers local dining, art galleries, and easy access to Gualala Point Regional Park. Kayak the river, explore tide pools, or hike the coastal bluffs -- all within minutes.



Getting Around:

From San Francisco, the drive is about 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS), about 90 minutes east, and drive the coast from there. Having a car opens up the entire Mendonoma Coast.



Other Things to Note:

Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring wildflowers (April-June) blanket the coastal headlands and the banks of the Gualala River with vibrant color. Summer on the Mendonoma Coast (June-September) means warm days and the occasional morning fog that burns off by lunch.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The view from this property is absolutely incredible—truly 10/10 and the highlight of our stay.Unfortunately, there were serious safety and maintenance concerns that significantly impacted our experience. My husband fell through a weakened section of the deck next to the hot tub, which is a major safety hazard and could easily result in serious injury. This issue should be addressed immediately.Additionally, the bathroom and kitchen are in need of updates. The shower handle kept falling off when we turned it on and the outdoor barbecue was a challenge to use as we had to lift propane tank up onto something to make a connection. These areas would benefit from maintenance and upgrades to ensure guest comfort and usability.With repairs and improvements, this property has the potential to be a wonderful place to stay, but guests should be aware of these concerns.
