Overview
House - 2 Master Bedrooms + 2 full bathrooms - (Sleeps 4)
Phoenix Nest, our 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 gulls 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 on the Havens Neck peninsula. We often see gray and humpback whales and recently blue whales spouting and occasionally breaching out of the ocean.
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
Unparalleled Beauty: Dear Pat,
We were greeted by deer and the gentle barking 'hellos' of the sea lions. The house is so comfortable--more space than we imagined and the light so wonderful.. The view rates in our top three--following the Grand Canyon, Positano, Italy and tied with Villa Cinciano in Tuscany. As we say farewell to the deer and sea lions, we'll promise to return and will always remember the beauty by day and the peaceful blanket of the Milky Way by night.
Thank you for sharing your spectacular home with us.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Awesome, spectacular views!!! The best of all possible worlds--ocean and forest. Your home is so well designed to incorporate the very best views. The music of the ocean infuses and calms us. I needed this spiritual experience.
P.S. Thanks for the champagne and flowers--what a delightful surprise!

Clean and well maintained home with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
I couldn't recommend this place more highly. Newly remodeled, clean home with comfy beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
Location is perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Gualala. Relax on the deck and listen to the ocean and enjoy the views. Take in the amazing night time views of the stars while unwinding in the hot tub. Short drive to several vineyards, some state parks, and The Point Arena lighthouse.
Pat is the perfect host. From the beginning she responded quickly to my inquiry and answered any questions that I had before and during my stay. Loved her special personal touches like a welcome letter in the mail prior to my stay and champagne on arrival.
Pat's home is perfect and I cannot recommend it enough. I hope to return again soon.❤️

Absolutely beautiful home with magnificent views. Listening to the sea lions and the ocean gives a new beginning...Everyone should come here just to relax and soak up the salt air.
The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked. And a bottle of champagne awaits you...
Nicest house we've found on the coast
This was our second stay at Phoenix Nest. We brought friends with us this time. We love this house and it's location. The owner is great and easy to work with. We will be back!
Peaceful and perfect!
Breathtaking views of God's creation!
The home was extremely clean, and we had all the conveniences of home. The local beaches were great for walking and beach coming. The private south beach that belonged to the neighborhood was a short drive away but difficult to walk down to. The north beach had sea lions the entire time we were there. We were able to watch and listen to them from the living room. The hot tub was the perfect way to enjoy the sunset over the ocean. A few things you should know if you stay here: talk to the locals for the best directions to the local beaches. Our favorite was Schooner beach! Bring your own coffee, there was a coffee pot but no coffee. The wind is always blowing, bring warm clothes. Eat at the local places like Trinks and Cove Azul Bar and Grill. There is a little grocery store at Anchor Bay just a couple of miles away, there are super friendly and helpful. Be ready to relax, the views are irresistible and mesmerizing!
Breathtaking views, and privacy
Lovely home overlooking the ocean, well-appointed, comfortable, away from everything. We looked for a place in Sea Ranch to celebrate an anniversary, and were so happy to find Phoenix Nest a few miles north of Gualala, a much more private and peaceful setting. If you're looking for tranquility, views, comfort, and convenience, this is the place. We were also impressed by the variety of good dining options, which hasn't always been the case this far north on the coast. Try St. Orres for a special occasion, and Thai Kitchen for excellent, fresh food. Also, Surf Market in Gualala for groceries.
4 Nights Among the Waves
Staying at Phoenix Nest was an absolute dream. My partner and I live in an industrial part of Oakland, and my parents live in the heart of Chicago, so this was a rare opportunity for us to be away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Photos truly do not do this property justice-- the house looks fairly unassuming from the outside, but upon entering, you feel like you're on a ship, with ocean views that are, once again, almost too beautiful to be captured by a camera without appearing cheesy or cliched.
Some of the activities we especially enjoyed were: grilling, eating, and drinking wine outside; taking advantage of the PRIVATE PATH that allows you to overlook a beach full of sea lions; soaking in the hot tub; reading and writing, and many more things.
We hope to return in the future during whale season, since we've heard that Phoenix Nest has great views for whale watching.
Pat, the owner, was extremely quick to respond and an excellent host overall. The house is unbelievably well-equipped for reading, cooking, and many other activities, and there are lots of helpful signs indicating where things should go. I can't say enough good things about this property! I got used to falling asleep to the sounds of sea lions barking and waves crashing on the shore...
Five stars.

Other Activities: You can often see gray whales migrating south in winter and north in spring with their calves.
