Romantic Oceanfront Home with Dramatic Sea View, Hot Tub and EV Charger
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.
From the hot tub, enjoy watching sea lions surfing or resting on the rocks on the Havens Neck peninsula. We often see gray and humpback whales and recently blue and killer 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. Bob and Helene Indianapolis

Better than the photos! Spectacular ocean views from every window. Comfortable, clean, upscale property situated ocean front surrounded by beautiful gardens. Wildlife abounds. The house is comfortably furnished and has comfortable beds with premium linens. The kitchen is a cooks dream stocked with premium cookware and many small appliances. Owner is generous and available. A rental dream!

Dear Linda,
You lucked out with some fine, sunny winter weather. I'm so happy to hear how much you enjoyed yourselves. I hope to see you next year if not sooner.
Warm regards,
Pat
Phoenix Nest is a pretty special place. Perfect getaway that sits on a bluff with incredible views and plenty of opportunities to relax, read, play music, enjoy nature, and just be (even in the rain). Well appointed kitchen is really great. Would love to return again. Pat is a very kind and generous host.

Thanks so much, Leo. I'm really glad you "weathered the storm". It was quite a rainy period and I'm so glad that you enjoyed all the different moods the weather created. Please come again!
A magical spot on the Coast. The drive up on the PCH is always worth it. We spent 2 weeks staring at the sea in splendid isolation. Books, reading, and soaking. Can’t say enough about the view. Our host’s communication was just right. Need a break from the world (with WiFi if you HAVE to have it)? We’re planning our return as we sit at the airport.
Great property with stunning views, very comfortable and the owners are very nice and easy to work with. We have travelled to the area many times and this is one of the best properties we have experienced.

Dear David,
Thanks for your enthusiastic review. I'm so pleased that you loved our home and I do hope you will come back some day soon.
Best,
Pat
Beautiful home, well equipped, amazing views! Owner was very communicative, friendly, and helpful. Everything you need is here! There are even passes to private beaches nearby. Being a couple of older ladies, we were not aware of all the stairs so this was a challenge for us but probably not for most. Highly recommended this place!

Hi Lorraine, We have a fully accessible house. I wish I had known you needed a level-in environment. We have a second driveway that allows you full access. Next time, please remind me and I will give you further instructions. Best,
Pat
Pat's cottage was perfect for a quiet long weekend for me & my husband to celebrate our anniversary. The house is full of interesting art and books, and clearly well-loved. You don't need to leave the house to get amazing ocean views in all directions, but if you do want to get out and about there are many options for hiking in the area.

Dear Anna,
Thanks for your kinds words about our house. I
am glad you appreciated our varied library and many art pieces. I hope you will come again soon.
Warm regards,

We have stayed at a number of beach houses in the Gualala area and we gave The Phoenix Nest a 4.5 out of 5.Clean, great views, nice deck and hot tub. The weather was a 5 out 5, clear and warm. The first night in the hot tub the stars were amazing as was the Milky Way. The electric car charger refused to work after the first charging session. We communicated this to Patricia and she immediately responded with other charging locations in the area.

I apologize again for the charging problem. I will look into it immediately. Thanks for your review. Pat
We loved this property, it was the perfect stay for this weekend. We stayed at the house cooking all meals and afternoons at either the patio or the beach close by. We can’t wait to come back!
