Description

Ojo House is a charming midcentury modern and vintage-styled home set in the delightful neighborhood of Rein’s Beach, Monte Rio – almost to Duncan’s Mills. Named for the “eyes” of wildlife and your traveling fur babies – always curious and wondering “what’s next?” From deer grazing in the adjacent field, songbirds and owls, to otters at the river and foxes watching from a distance, Ojo House is nestled in the coastal zone of Sonoma County, with birdhouses and pollinator-friendly plants throughout the yard for maximum wildlife viewing.

You’ll love the individually collected vintage and hand-crafted décor throughout the house. Each item speaks to the fun and quirky nature of the home and community! The main floor includes the living room, kitchen, bedroom, full bathroom, and steps down to a bonus room/office/laundry room. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom are off the hallway and landing overlooking the living room. Preserved from the original 1972 construction, open redwood beams and stairs and stained glass kitchen cabinets show off unique workmanship.

Mature rose bushes, hydrangeas, and wisteria bring fragrance and color to the property – feel free to cut a few to bring inside. Lounge in the hot tub with a glass of wine, taking in the magnificent views of the rolling Sonoma County hills or wander down to the Russian River for a dip. The towns of Duncan’s Mills and Jenner are minutes away with excellent restaurants, shopping, and wine tasting opportunities. Coastal beaches, tidepools, exquisite sunsets, and hikes along the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean await.

Location: Ojo House is in a cozy residential neighborhood. It is a mix of permanent residents and vacation rentals, families, working folks, and visitors. To honor this balance, we ask guests to park only in the driveway and space directly in front of the yard and respect the quiet hours in addition to general family-friendly, residential neighborhood expectations. Thank you for helping to continue the tradition of a mutually beneficial relationship between vacation rentals and local community! Ojo House is in a rural community, but sound carries so we ask guests to be aware of noise – especially once quiet time starts at 10 pm. The road to the home is one lane in sports and you may need to stop/pull over for oncoming traffic. There are deer and other wildlife on the roads and in the area. We recommend taking the road slowly.

And there is one flight of stairs inside the house from the living room to the 2 upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. Rustic paths and open spaces throughout the yard are kept clear throughout the year but may be uneven. These are not lawns.

Pet Friendly: This home welcomes up to 3 well-mannered dogs and considers other pets. If you have more than 3 dogs or other types of pets, please contact us before reserving.

Fencing: The front and back yards are fully fenced, but we always recommend checking the fence line before letting your dog off-leash.

We were blown away by this home. Our party of six enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The hot tub was luxurious and clean; a perfect way to the day. The home is about 15 minutes from Guerneville and the neighborhood had residential access to the Russian River. Thanks to the hosts for the wonderful stay. Trust me, you won't regret booking the Ojo house! -via Airbnb

Such a lovely cozy home. It was perfect for a family get away not too far away. It was in a great location close to the river. Saw a friendly cat on her daily stroll, hummingbirds, blue jays while seeping coffee enjoying the beautiful view. Thank you for sharing your peaceful home.

Creative Refuge

Reviewed on 2024-07-17 by Ondrea , Mill Valley, CA United States

This house, this location, this gem is a refuge and an expansive experience in one. I came here (the drive itself is majestic) to get some solitude away from the distractions of daily life for some focused creative time immersed in nature, and it provided just that…with the added perk of easy access to community, good food, and eclectic shopping. There’s nothing like waking up to a blanket of fog in the trees in a well-curated, cozy home and tucking in for the evening in front of a warm fire with all the perfect comforts for a solid sleep. And the nature? Like I said, majestic. From redwoods to beach, this location is magnificent inside and out.

Beautiful home, perfect for our relaxing long weekend. House feels fresh, clean and really tastefully done - way nicer than the typical short term rental, this actually feels like a home. Location is perfect, nice quiet cul de sac, with river access at the end of the street for cooling dips. I plan to return for a longer visit - solid WiFi and ability to work from here making it possible for me! Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

Thank you for the lovely review! We hope to see you again!
