The Space:

Tucked away in a meadow and surrounded by trees, this home provides a comfortable haven with pockets of the ocean through the forest. You'll feel at peace surrounded by trees, with the occasional coastal breeze floating in when you're relaxing in the private hot tub on the deck. It's perfect for stargazing, and beach towels are provided so you can enjoy a soak whenever you like. If you feel a little chilly, just head inside and relax in front of the gas fireplace or wood stove. Prepare yourself a drink at the wet bar and relax in the connected common area.

Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
