Phoenix Nest, a romantic and spectacular oceanfront vacation home, is nestled on two glorious acres of forest right on the ocean.

The 2500 square foot, newly remodeled home is bright and airy and includes a 44-foot living room with windows throughout overlooking the ocean. The two master bedroom suites also have unsurpassed, sweeping views of the ocean. The house has great privacy. You can hear the waves crash and see the osprey and seagulls fly by as the low tide unveils the rocks and sandy beach. Watch gorgeous sunsets from the deck or hot tub.

You will see sea lions surfing or resting on the rocks. During their spring migration, whales often play with their calves off of the nearby peninsula. In winter, you will see them heading south to Baja.

The bluff is like a garden, covered with plants and natural wildflowers. Known as the "banana belt," nearby rivers provide a more fog-free and temperate climate than other coastal areas.

PLEASE NO CHILDREN, PETS OR SMOKING ALLOWED.

$100 surcharge for certain holidays.

  • We had the most wonderful time at Phoenix Nest! The location is unbeatable, the house so beautifully renovated and spotlessly clean, equipped with everything one needs and hopes for, and the view from the deck is gorgeous at any time of day. Thank you, Pat, for being so helpful and considerate! This was our second stay at your home, and we wish we could just turn around and go right back to this gem on the Pacific!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Nadine, Thanks for your kind and enthusiastic words. I hope you will be back soon. It was a joy to get to know you via e-mail. Take care, Pat

  • My husband and I have been renting different homes in Gualala for the last 30 years.Phoenix's Nest is by far the most wonderful home,setting,location of a peaceful retreat that we have experienced!The nearby hikes were an added bonus.Good restaurants in the small towns within driving distance provide an option for dining if one can pull themselves away from the fantastic view to leave the house.!!!!!!!!!

  • We had a wonderful week at Phoenix Nest, the sun came out every day, tempratures touching 70 degrees every day with a niceonshore breeze, perfect. we were welcomed wit a bottle of Champers, couresy of pat the owner, lovely touch. Phoenix nest was so lovely and to wake up to that view, across the bay and see the sea lionsevery morning without putting a foot on the floor was just amazing I played golf twice at Sea Ranch,a lovely course with more views over the sea and only 15 minutes away by car, ideal. We had our first outdoor hot tub, how nice was that!! nature plays a big part in the enjoyment of Phoenix Nest, with deer,sea lions,seals and Ospreys coming to call, we even got a video of the Osprey catching and carrying a fish in its tallons, a memory we will keep forever. Phoenix Nest Is very spacious with a large outside deck overlooking the bay and has every thing you need for a great holiday. If your reading this and thinking about going their, stop thinking and pick up the phone, you will love it!!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear John and Colleen, Thanks for your enthusiastic comments. We will await your return with more "Champers" and sea lions! It was great meeting you. Warmly, Pat

  • WOW!!!! What an experience and pleasure to be guests of Pat and Sid at Phoenix Nest. The minute we walked into the great room area with the 180 degree full ocean view to our last morning with Champagne (graciously provided by our hosts) and OJ in the hot tub, we knew we would return to this haven. Great walk through the uninhabitated reserve. Every need addressed throughout the house. It is indeed a retreat and will make you forget the every day stresses of life. Thank you for opening up your home. Art and Vicki, Livermore, CA
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Vicki and Art, It was a pleasure having you at our home. I hope you will make the Phoenix Nest a repeat destination. Thanks for your kind comments. Best, Pat

  • Five days at the Phoenix Nest in March were just fabulous. The house was very comfortable and the view fantastic. It didn't matter that the weather on some of the days was less than ideal; we just curled up on that sofa, looked at that incredible view and caught up on some neglected reading. Heaven! A big bonus was not having wi-fi and not being able to use our cell phones. Yes! Total relaxation on one of the prettiest places on the planet!

  • We stayed at the Phoenix Nest for our honeymoon and couldn't have found a more perfect place. The views are amazing and you feel like you have the ocean all to yourself. The house is beautiful and Pat is really wonderful at making sure you have the best experience possible. We are grateful to have found Pat and the Phoenix Nest and we hope to return soon!

  • We spent 10 days in this heavenly location, with views... even this sites "well done" pictures cannot convey! We took Day trips to Mendocino, local wineries and various other beach locations for picnics and hiking. The private beach is for the very hearty only. We cooked all our meals in,and enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sunsets and meteor shower!!

We felt so fortunate to have found this lovely warm abode surrounded by the wonders of the coast. The sights and sounds provided an unforgettable experience. Pat, we feel so lucky to have met you! Your kind and warm nature is evident with each conversation and throughout your home. Thank you, thank you.

  • We have rented many vacation homes in the past but we have never seen one as quiet and peaceful as Phoenix Nest. The neighboring homes are a good distance away and almost every window has a view. The home is well kept and stocked with nice dishes, pots and pans and everything else you might need. We enjoyed every minute of our one weeks stay and did not want to leave.

  • A pure treasure. The views, the hot tub under the stars, birds soarking by, sea lions barking at dawn, exploring Havens Neck, and evey wonderful touch that went into this home makes it the perfect getaway and very hard to leave.
