Ocean Waves

Details

*Please read full description prior to booking to ensure understanding of home’s amenities.

Welcome to "Ocean Waves," a captivating coastal hideaway designed by Carson Bowler, perched dramatically on the cliffs of Gleason Beach. This unique home invites you to immerse yourself in the tranquility of oceanfront living with expansive windows that frame breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and endless sea.

"Ocean Waves" retains a charming, vintage character, designed for those who appreciate simplicity and a break from the modern digital world. With no Wi-Fi and modest amenities, this home encourages a truly disconnected and peaceful retreat. The living area features a convenient Murphy bed, perfect for relaxing by day and transforming into a cozy sleeping space by night. Above, a sleeping loft offers a semi-private bedroom retreat, where the sound of the waves makes for a soothing lullaby.

Heating is managed with a pellet stove and baseboard heaters, ensuring comfort against the coastal chill. Includes limited cable channels, and while there is a landline, mobile reception may be inconsistent—though Verizon users generally receive good service.

Please be aware that the home's stunning proximity to the ocean means that the large windows often bear the marks of salt spray. A hose is available for quick clean-ups, but the sea’s presence is a constant reminder of your close connection to nature.

Whether you're seeking a serene spot to unwind with a book or a picturesque base for coastal exploration, "Ocean Waves" offers a blend of rustic charm and spectacular scenery, making it the perfect getaway from the hectic pace of daily life.

*California State Beaches are not dog friendly and include Bodega Dunes State Park, Colman Beach, Miwok Beach and Salmon Creek Beaches. All Sonoma County Beaches and Parks allow dogs.
