The split-level apartment adjacent to the house is the perfect getaway for a couple and/or friends. It is beautifully appointed with artistic touches and stunning 180 degree views of the Russian River as it flows into the Pacific. There are two outdoor sitting areas overlooking a lovely landscape of California plants and flowers in the foreground with the river and ocean in the background. Within walking distance is spectacular hiking as well as the little town of Jenner. Toni and Teri are gracious hosts and left a detailed and helpful information book with directions to local restaurants, hikes, and activities. But the vistas from every room are so beautiful that you might just want to chill! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

My husband and I are an older couple who've been renting vacation homes for 25 years. And this home is one of the nicest that we have ever visited. The panoramic view of the river and ocean is unique and breathtaking. The home itself has every imaginable amenity: a great kitchen, luxury bedding, and an extremely comfortable loft for reading and TV viewing. and the way in which the architectural design captures the views and natural light is dazzling. The overall effect is incredibly restful, my husband and I have never slept better, and came home more relaxed than we've been in years. The layout and decor capture the spirit of the surrounding area perfectly, and the effect is truly magical. We can't wait to return.

The view is the real deal. Large windows and a deck overlooking right where the Russian river empties into the Pacific. Sunsets were to die for. Jenner is off the beaten path, but Guerneville is just 15 miles away. Even that drive is amazing--and there is a cute little group of art/gift shops/restaurants about half way to Guerneville called Duncan Mills. But if you want quiet and relaxing this is a great spot.

What a lovely stay. While there we were already looking at he availability calendar to see when we should book another visit. :) The townhouse couldn't be nicer, cleaner, cozier! The bed was incredible, the shower alone is reason to stay here/come back. As many have mentioned, the Jenner Headlands are literally up the street and the trails are beautiful and pup-friendly! We had a much needed, long overdue wellness weekend away. Toni is *incredible*! Very sweet, hospitable, and accommodating. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for hosting us! :)

What can we say about this exceptional place?! The views are truly unparalleled, and the space is thoughtfully designed for peace and comfort. We loved watching the sunsets from the patio, grilling outdoors, and taking nearby hikes along the beautiful coastline. Check-in and -out was easy, and Toni was very communicative. We will definitely be back!

Toni and her staff have created beautiful accommodations! We have vacationed all around the world, this place is world class. World class to the minute detail of high quality linens and hand made hand soap. The house has a wonderful Art Gallery feel as the are many local artist original paintings depicting the Jenner surrounding landscape. A one of kind vacation rental home! We loved of time here and we will be back soon!!!

This guest house is so gorgeous! We stayed with two couples, and though one of us had to sleep on the pullout couch, there was plenty of space for a couple nights. The space is decorated beautifully, with interesting art and amazing natural light. The house was clean and well-appointed. The view was spectacular - we all wish we had stayed a couple extra nights just to relax on the deck and enjoy it. The check-in process was slightly hectic, as there is literally zero cell service in the neighborhood, and the listing was not very obvious that there are two rentals at the same address (main house and guest cottage) which have entrances only a couple yards apart. The main house had other renters there, but they had so many cars parked that our entrance was blocked and we thought we had been double booked! We then had no way of contacting the property manager as we had no service. We finally figured out where the entrance was, and our stay was perfect from there on out. I would definitely come back again to spend more time here!

Owner Response

Awwwww, that was a wedding group and they checked in a few days ahead. By the time you arrived they had spread out. I’ll do a better job with signage from now on. Thank you for the heads up.

We’ve stay over the last 30yrs of our marriage at many rental homes. From California, Hawaii, Costa Rica and the East Coast our travels have taken us to many places and many rental homes. We don’t like to stay in hotels, preferring to stay in private home rentals whenever possible. We were looking for a couple of days to get away for our Anniversary. Villa Vista was one of the most well appointed and cleanest rentals we’ve stayed in over the years. That being said, it’s also one of the most spectacular views in our history of renting. The pictures on the web site don’t do it justice! Toni and Teri have put their personal touch all over and it shows! We’ve never stayed at a rental that was so well appointed art. I guess it reflected how we might decorate a house that we live in. Our house walls are covered in art. We indeed hit the weather just right as we know how the coast can be in the late summer. Not a lot of dining choices in Jenner but Bodega Bay is a short jaunt down the road with numerous restaurants and small town charm. Beaches are too numerous to list and the hiking trails... take your pick. Great spot, great house!
