Guerneville Private Home for Rent: BEACH RETREAT - Property 22915

From Beach Retreat, wander down the path to Froggy Beach (Drake's Estate), the largest and most beautiful of Russian River beaches?with sandy dunes and shallow water access, perfect for sunning, swimming, boating, and fishing, as ospreys and herons dive for dinner. This leash-free bit of paradise, a few steps down the path from the lawn, is private to this little neighborhood so it's uncrowded and unspoiled.

With a wall of glass looking out to trees and gardens, Beach Retreat enjoys the most beautiful of natural settings. Filled with sunlight, the open kitchen/dining/living area opens to a sunny deck for lounging and dining. The decorator furnishings are charming and comfortable, the fireplace creates a cozy ambiance, and the artwork is a feast for the eye. A private, fenced front deck holds a six-person hot tub, while the landscaped sunshine-filled backyard is an oasis of tranquility. This home enjoys great privacy and a sense of solitude. If you need to stay connected, bring your laptop -- this home has wireless high-speed cable Internet access.

Beach Retreat sleeps six, with three bedrooms (two queen beds and a double bed), and two baths, each with shower. For larger groups, check out the nearby rentals in Houses Close Together at the bottom of our home page.

Beach Retreat, along with the dozen other homes on this beach, has little view of the river, as there are protected trees and shrubs between the homes and the river, lending privacy to the homes. Less than two miles to downtown Guerneville, this home is convenient to Johnson's Beach with boat rentals, the Pee Wee Golf Course, and Guerneville shops and restaurants.

Forestville is most convenient to wineries, Sebastopol, and Santa Rosa, followed by Guerneville and Monte Rio.
There is little difference in temperature between Guerneville and central Monte Rio. Forestville will be slightly warmer, while Duncans Mills and Cazadero will be slightly cooler. There is no air-conditioning here (with a few exceptions): the ocean breezes provide natural cooling at night and homes in warmer areas have fans. The Northwood golf course area is 2 - 3 miles west of Guerneville and, although this is technically Monte Rio, these homes are as close to Guerneville as they are to central Monte Rio.

Duncans Mills is close to the ocean, with some marine influence, yet still enjoys warm, sunny days in the summer.

Cazadero is redwood forest, with an all-year creek running through it; in general the most secluded homes will be found here.

Homes along the river are generally not as private as the homes along the creeks or in the forest, although there are exceptions. The river homes are rarely fenced and most will have some small degree of road noise since River Road, running along the river, is the main artery for the area. We do have some river homes free of all road noise. If this is a major issue for you, please ask us.

There is a 24-hour Safeway and a health food store in Guerneville and smaller markets in Forestville and Monte Rio, as well as a general store in Cazadero. On Hwy 166 north of Sebastopol, Andy's Market is worth a stop. There are video rentals in all towns except Duncans Mills. Guerneville has bicycle rentals. The best shopping is in Guerneville and Duncans Mills.

Boat rentals are in Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills. Boating depends upon river and weather conditions and many homes with boats have seasonal docks. We cannot guarantee boating will be possible or safe anytime other than mid-June through mid-September.
