Just outside the downstairs door find a versatile outdoor living space that includes several seating areas with a gas grill big enough to serve your entire gathering with ease. Use the kitchenette for serving and cleanup. Enjoy the new undercover bar on that same patio for coffee or wine tasting or for feeding the kids.
A few steps from there are two big deep comfy sofas on the lower deck under yellow umbrellas overlooking the river and coast. Here you can watch the river as it seems to wrap around the property and flow out to sea. This is a perfect place to unwind while watching the the birds and kayakers passing by. Sunsets are breathtaking and yes, you can see the stars! The hot tub is at the edge of the deck with a view through the glass paneled railings.
Casa Panama is located along scenic Hwy 1, ten miles north of Bodega Bay and twelve miles west of Guerneville or 30 miles from Santa Rosa. Enjoy access to California's most picturesque beaches and hiking trails, the Russian River, redwoods, parkland and Sonoma Counties most renowned wineries. See Casa Panama.net page for additional pictures if needed.
The Jenner Headlands is now open with 14 miles of new trail. The park is over 3000 acres with new trails being added every year. This is likely the best hiking with the most stunning views anywhere in Sonoma County! Just across the river is Goat Rock State Beach, which is one of the most scenic beaches on the CA coast. North and South of Goat Rock are 7 state beaches running adjacent for miles and miles of exploration. This ecotourism at its best!
The downstairs floor of Casa Panama has its own garden entrance, living room with kitchenette, bath and bedroom with spectacular river and coastal views with a warm inviting ambiance. You have access to all the outdoor spaces, decks and hot tub.
* I want to acknowledge these are stressful times. 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 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, doorknobs, light switches and appliances with a bleach solution. All bedding, including sheets, pillowcases and comforter duvets are changed, washed and sanitized. We use anti bacterial fabric spray on all soft surfaces.
We want to thank you for your patronage and let you know how much we care about your families’ welfare and your experience here. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions, concerns or comments. toni@casapanama.net

We came as a family with couples and kids to celebrate my mom’s 70th and it was the perfect place. The views of the river and ocean were spectacular. We loved the hot tub and seating areas on the deck. Also loved walking down to Cafe Aquatica for snacks and drinks and wine tasting. The house was clean and spacious. Perfect for a family gathering, but also enough separate spaces for those who need a little social downtime.
House is as advertised, a river paradise. Gorgeous views, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. Even the wifi was decent for that part of the world! (One piece of advice - copy check in procedures incl. lock box key code onto your phone while you're online - cell service is spotty and you might not be able to log on to VRBO to get it when you arrive.)
What a lovely place. The views were breathtaking and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. A bit of a hike to the winerys but worth the commute. We would definitely stay there again.

The best experience!
This house is a magical place. For the last ten years we have taken my father to a home away for his birthday. We have never gone back to the same rental - until Casa Panama. He can sit and look out over the fabulously beautiful view, filled with birds, kayakers, paddleboarders, all sorts of interesting goings on. We had 4 bathrooms, wonderful appliances, every kitchen gadget you could need. great linens, a wonderful jacuzzi - we will probably come back NEXT year as well as we will never find a family get together rental as good as this!!
Nine friends celebrating 50th college reunion. Casa Panama was the perfect getaway. Comfortable and clean accommodations and magnificent views of Russian River emptying into the Pacific Ocean. Spectacular sunsets. This met all of our expectations!
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!!
Casa Panama has stunning views! We loved the house and the beautiful decks. Toni was accommodating and very easy to work with. Very communicative. It was a great vacation!

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.
Casa Panama was perfect for our family gathering and my mom's 90th birthday! Gorgeous views, very lovely and comfortable home. The weekend couldn't have been better. Thank you, Toni, for being a fabulous and responsive host.
Casa Panama fulfilled our every desire in a Thanksgiving vacation home…exquisite setting right on the estuary with view of the ocean and sunsets.
The home is clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is very well stocked with quality pots, pans and dishes.
Planning to return?
Our family reunion was immeasurably enhanced by staying at Toni’s lovely home We absolutely loved the outdoor California room, the deck on the main floor and the hot tub. The kitchen had all we needed for cooking five nights if dinners fir our group of ten Wouks come back again in a heartbeat 💕

Amazing Property
We have stayed at many 5 star houses/hotels and this is a special as they come. Gorgeous interiors. Unsurpassed views. Comfortable layout. Thank you Toni!
My concern always is, “Is this place really going to be as nice as they made it look?” Answer in this case, a resounding yes! We had a group of 9 — 6 adults and three children ages 5-8. Plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of cutlery, dishes, pots and pans. Beautiful decks and spectacular views from the living spaces. Ocean to the right, river in front and to the left. Lots of beaches within a short drive. Cool and scenic places all around. Highly recommend. You get what you see!
This trip was our 2nd annual trip for our group of friends, 9 total. Toni the owner is so easy to work with. She supplies so much more than other VRBO's and the house is gorgeous. The views from all 3 decks is stunning. We already picked our dates for next year!
My friends and I stayed last weekend for a girls wine trip. The location was perfect, close to vineyards, short walk to trails and a quick drive to Goat Rock beach. The views from the upper living room were amazing! We enjoyed our morning coffee each day in the seating area. The kitchen was very well stocked also with pots, pans, utensils, etc.

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.
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. Toni has done an incredible job outfitting and decorating the spaces. We had perfect weather, the views were endless and epic, and the house just lovely, comfy and cozy.
Thank you for opening your home to us.
We will be back!
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.

I am a decorator at heart and a retired decorator by profession. It is with great pleasure that I continue finding ways to make your stay more comfortable. I live nearby but there is always a caretaker available if you have any problems or need any help.
We rent Casa Panama in various combinations of accommodations at certain times of the year. If you prefer a smaller space you can rent Casa Panama’s option of 2-3 of Casa Panama’s bedrooms certain times of the year or Casa Panama’s Villa Vista through June of 2024.
If you need more space than Casa Panama offers you can rent both Casa Panama and Villa Vista and I will open up the area between units normally vacant for privacy and sound. That section has an adjoining staircase and 2 extra long twin beds so the total accommodation is 14 when both are rented together. (This option is only available through June 2024.)
Every day we spend at Casa Panama is like a little heaven on earth and I hope you find the same true for you!
I am originally from San Diego daughter of a well-known fashion professional of the same name and a Dutch father, a cabinet maker who built not only all the furniture but also designed and built our home on a ranch in the country. All of the famous designers visited the ranch for sophisticated parties and events while on the flip side my sister and brother and I might have been out picking oranges, tending the animals or riding our horses.
I have always loved the ocean and have fond childhood memories of daddy taking us out in the San Diego Bay for fishing trips on his cabin cruiser. I have lived on or near the sea for the past 40 years with a memorable stint in the Caribbean for 12 of those years. When I moved to the Northern California area, I just fell in love with Jenner at first sight. The people and the place just resonates a vibe you will never forget.
Why they chose this property
The history of the Jenner area is best told by our local historian Elinor Twohy. For my part I know that the sister of Josephine Santos Wright married and built what is now Casa Panama with her husband in 1950.
History of the Jenner Area by Elinor Twohy
We know that Pomo Indians had been living here for 3,000 years; however archaeologists have recently uncovered significant evidence in the middle of Duncan's Landing which may prove that Pomos were here for 10,000 years.
'Pomo' is an overall name covering six language groups and several different tribes. The local tribe, know as the Del Rio Indians, was friendly with their neighbors from around Bodega Bay, the Miwoks. From a study of the middens, we believe that they had ceremonial gatherings at Duncan's Landing.
In the 1920's the two Penny brothers owned & lived on the twenty-nine acre island that is in the middle of the river, directly in front of the town of Jenner. One brother was drowned in an accident at sea. When the other brother became ill, he wished to live the rest of his life on the island & to be buried there.
Joe Santos had come from Guam, married a local Pomo woman, built a house near the river mouth on Goat Rock Beach, & started a family. Joe agreed to carry out Penny's wishes, & in return the island was deeded to him. Joe then built a house on the island, where the Santos family grew fruits & vegetables, raised dairy cattle, & sold their produce to townsfolk of Jenner and Monte Rio. The Santos family lived on Penny Island until 1948.
One daughter, Josephine Santos Wright, born in 1904 in the original house on Goat Rock beach, still resides in Jenner & provides us with authentic historical information.
In 1975 the island was finally acquired by the State of California Department of Parks & Recreation. It has become a sanctuary for animals and birds; recent sightings include foxes, a bob cat, a mink, great horned & barn owls, & both white & brown pelicans.
What makes this property unique
Jenner is located in the center of thousands of protected open space next to a coastline lined with parks along the coastline. Just a short walk up the hill is the Jenner Headlands 5400 acres park with 14 miles of newly constructed trail.
Discovering the River estuary is best done by kayak. Don't miss the view of the seals at the mouth of the river. Watch for whales and birds as you explore Goat Rock Beach. Goat Rock Beach with its unique vantage points views and trails give you access all the way south to Shell Beach!
From Shell Beach take a historic hike along the Pomo Indian Trail inland through Willow Creek. The Pomos lived in a beautiful valley at the end of the trail. This was the route they took to tish at the coastline.
I fell in love with this property at first sight. The moment I walked in the view just took my breath away. I bought the house from the original owners who were directly related to the areas Native American band of Pomo Indians. The house was hand crafted in 1950 of regional old growth redwoods. The property was carefully selected to get the best of the sun all year around and the best view Jenner had to offer and of Penny Island family home.
Now days we are in the heart of an eco system surrounded by thousands of acres of open space, state parks, beaches, red wood forests, coastal prairies, hiking trails, biking routes and water trails yet only 30 minutes from Santa Rosa and an hour and a half to San Francisco. My staff and I came up with a list of the wildlife we've seen around here. Here it is! Foxes, Osprey, Turkey Vultures, Cows, Deer, Seals, Goats, Pelicans, Bob Cats, Bald Eagles, Hawks, Quail, Rabbits, Humming Birds and Humming Bird Moths.
If you do plan to drive to San Francisco do it at a more leisurely pace through Bodega Bay or Occidental, Freestone, Tomales, Point Reyes, Fairfax and San Anselmo. Enjoy our little towns, vistas, fresh air and coastal views. Relax and stay awhile!
