About this house rental

This is a cozy eclectic cottage with stunning panoramic ocean views of Anchor Bay Beach from living room, dining area, master bedroom, and bathroom. It features a private stairway to the beach! Watch whales from the living/dining room, bedroom, deck and hot tub, see Osprey dive into the waters, relax as Pelicans glide over the waves, listen to the distant sea lions from across the ridge, and let the soothing sounds of the waves lull you to sleep.

The home is a 1/3 mile walk to the town of Anchor Bay where there is a grocery store with plenty of healthy/organic foods, and an excellent Thai restaurant. The town of Gualala is 4 miles away with more grocery shopping, a lovely bakery/coffee-shop (Trinks, their carrot cake is out of this world!), art galleries, and restaurants. And there is plenty of coastal hiking in the area including Bowling Ball Beach, Point Arena Light House, and Sea Ranch trails. Go a bit further, and in 45 minutes be in the lovely and historic town of Mendocino. Enjoy the boutique stores, fine dinning, and galleries in this ocean-side haven.

This home has been in the family for over 30 years. It is truly a magical retreat. Walk into the living and dining area and you have immediate panoramic Pacific Ocean views, and this continues to the Master Bed and Bath Rooms. The Master Bedroom has a very comfortable queen size Tempur-Pedic mattress. It has an adjoining bathroom with shower and walk in closet. You will not be disappointed by the view you wake up to! The second bedroom also has partial ocean views and has 2 twin beds and a 1/2 bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with updated pots, pans, and dish-wear. It has newer gas stove, refrigerator, and washer/dryer. There is an open living-room/dining-room with a sliding glass door to the deck. The living room has a wood burning fireplace, two swivel chairs to better enjoy the view! There is a modest flat screen TV with satellite channels.

Anchor Bay is the stunning jewel of the Sonoma -Mendicino coast. Out of the "10 Best Beaches of the Pacific West" was rated the 3rd best beach by Sunset Magazines June 2, 2009 issue ,after #1 Laguna Beach and #2 "Aliomanu Kauai, come see it for yourself!

Watch the parade of California Gray Whales March through May from the comfort of swivel chairs through the bay window, most whales and spouts seen in 1 day 347!!

Anchor bay offers the salmon fishing fleets a calm and tranquil nighttime anchorage during salmon season, (May through October) watch the mesmerizing lights from the bay window, a peaceful and rare sight. Most ships in the bay 57 in one night!

8/05/2022 Extra special treat is the "nightly show" of dozens of salmon fishing boats, anchored in the calm waters of Anchor Bay, resting during the summer evening with their mast lights gleaming, being reflected in the ocean waters of the present salmon fishing season. No where else along the Pacific coast can this spectacular event be seen! One to be long remembered.

An amazing experience you will not regret. The view and beach access are unrivaled and teeming with so much wildlife. The tide pools on the beach featured sea anemones, star fish and hermit crabs, and even a baby abalone. We spotted humpback whales from the comfort of the cottage picture window, as well as a bald eagle! The Mexican sage in the garden just in front of the picture window also hosted a constant stream of hummingbirds. Just watching the pelicans glide mere feet off the swells or watching the oyster catchers ride the waves was entertaining. Definitely magical and minutes from fine dining at St. Orres (which I highly recommend if you have the budget) and the adorable town of Gualala where you can find anything you need. The food was great everywhere we ate and best part and best kept secret had to be Anchor Bay’s “banana belt” micro climate which sheltered us from the bad weather hitting the rest of the coast. Oh, and the stargazing was spectacular when weather permitted. We also enjoyed the hot tub, and slept very well. The cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was an experience we will never forget!

Amazing property, well equipped and has the best location if you love the ocean. In addition, you have a private stair case down to a lovey beach! The hot tub on the deck overlooking the cove was the highlight for me, I spent everyday from the late afternoon til bedtime enjoying the ocean and the stars! This place is a true gem, thank you Piper for sharing your wonderful property with us, we will be back again if you will have us:) Linda and Bill

Bed was comfortable and view can’t be beat! Tricky driving in and out of property. Not a walkable neighborhood but great place to relax and enjoy a beautiful beach near restaurants too.
