Hilltop Pool + Patio + Panoramic Views | Wine Country Retreat | Sonoma Sunshine

The ultimate Sonoma countryside retreat is waiting at Sonoma Sunshine. This luxury group escape effortlessly blends incredible views, gorgeous design, a top-notch outdoor space and pool, and a great location to give you a one-of-a-kind wine-country experience.

Detail is key at Sonoma Sunshine, and you’ll find thoughtful touches and curated decor throughout the entire home. From a piano in the living room to a charming inner courtyard with a fountain, there are endless possibilities to create meaningful memories or steal away a romantic moment. Aspiring chefs will love the spacious kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need and boasting tons of counter space, barstool seating, and a gas range. Cozy up by the fireplace in the main living room, or head to the secondary living space for panoramic views and a movie night on the flatscreen TV.

Outside, a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside serves as a backdrop as you lounge poolside, or enjoy the sunshine at one of the multiple lounge areas on the spacious patio. Start your morning in the inner courtyard with the sound of the fountain, and end it by watching the sun set over Sonoma. The home is nestled next to a vineyard, giving you a true wine-country feel.

Four bedrooms offer everyone plenty of space to spread out, with the primary ensuite featuring a luxurious soaking tub. Perfect for friends or multiple families, you’ll have king and twin options for versatility.

A selection of wineries and tasting rooms are ready to explore within a 20-minute drive, and Santa Rosa is only 30 minutes away. Impress your guests from the moment you arrive with incredible amenities, unbelievable views, and a luxury design at Sonoma Sunshine.

Birthday Bashers

Two families came to celebrate 3 children turning 21. We had 11 people and definitely had beds to spare. The property is laid out very well so there was a lot of room to spread out. Very charming atmosphere. Kitchen was well stocked. Pool was a hit.

Great Stay

This property is wonderful! The view alone make the property worth the stay. The house was able to accommodate our group perfectly really made our trip. Would 100% book again and recommend to friends. Note to the owner: The dishwasher should be serviced as it was not running so we had to hand wash dishes. I would also encourage you to heat the pool and the hot tub. Those are huge selling points for the house and would be more enjoyable if they were warm/hot.

Spacious Property in a Picturesque Setting

We celebrated birthdays with the family over the labor day holiday. The property has large spaces both indoors and out and excellent view of the surrounding hills and vineyards. While we enjoyed the house, we weren't thrilled with the customer support. It felt like the responses of couple of our inquiries were AI robot generated. But overall, this was an excellent venue to celebrate a large family gathering.

Family Vacation

Great location and property. We loved the house, pool and the garden that was full of tomatoes. The guest house was nice but did not have potable water. A bottled water dispenser would make it great. We had a problem with the dishwasher which was not corrected until after we left. Customer service was pleasant but was unable to get a repair person there when we needed them. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed. We would definitely return.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Kathleen! We’re so glad to hear that you loved the house, pool, and garden, especially the tomatoes! We also appreciate your feedback about the guest house and the dishwasher. We apologize for the inconvenience with the dishwasher, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We'll certainly look into adding a water dispenser in the guest house and work to improve our response time for future maintenance issues. We’re thrilled to know that despite these challenges, you still had a great stay and would consider returning. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Stunning Views, bed configuration misleading

Wonderful location and stunning views. House was big enough to accommodate our whole family. It was sad that the hot tub/spa could not be heated as advertised. It would have been a nice way to relax. Also the actual bed configuration is confusing and misleading, the “room” with the trundle bed is actually a nook with no door in the primary bedroom. There is also no queen-sized bed (rather 2 twins pushed together). Maybe a little TLC would make it a perfect spot. Our stay was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

5 Stars – A Stunning Glen Ellen Getaway!

From the moment we pulled up to the property, we knew we were in for a truly special week. Nestled among beautiful vineyards with sweeping views of the foothills and farmlands, this home offered the perfect blend of peace, beauty, and comfort.Our group of nine stayed comfortably between the main house (4 bedrooms) and the charming cottage (2 bedrooms). Both spaces were impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully equipped. We loved having two cozy living rooms to relax in, along with multiple outdoor seating areas featuring comfy loungers and chairs—the perfect spots to unwind by the absolutely stunning pool.The kitchen was well-stocked and made meal prep a breeze, and the bathrooms had everything we needed. The only minor issue was that hot water didn’t reach the master bathroom or the hallway bathroom initially, but the management team was quick to respond and sent someone to resolve the issue promptly.Communication with AvantStay was first-rate—they were responsive, professional, and clearly committed to ensuring our comfort throughout the stay.This home is an ideal retreat for anyone looking to experience the beauty of wine country, with easy access to wineries, local markets, and nearby amenities. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to others!
