Villa Vista, The Absolute Jewel of Jenner
About this villa rental
Situated in Jenner, this attractive villa for $367 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. A tri-level apartment with stunning water views from each floor. A private deck off the master bedroom overlooking the Russian River and the Pacific OceanBreathtaking views of the Russian River & the Pacific from this private suite. A short stroll down the hill brings you to kayak rentals & Cafe Aquatica for best coffee, sandwiches, pastries, & live music on the weekends. A short stroll uphill brings you to the Jenner Headlands gate which you can enter with our proprietary code. I want to acknowledge these are stressful times. We all need family getaways maybe more now than ever but we need to feel safe. Here's the extra precautions we are taking to advance our 5* cleaning service for our guests and family and friends. Since viruses die faster in sunlight and in high humidity, we immediately open the house hours before your arrival and air it out completely. At Casa Panama we are fortunate to have the benefit of full sun from sun-up to sundown with a little higher humidity. Couple that with fresh air and sea breezes and you will likely agree this atmosphere can revitalize both your health and your spirit. We want to thank you for your patronage and let you know how much we care about your families’ welfare and your experience here. Jenner is an eco tourism paradise surrounded by 10,000 acres of open space and trails and a river and the ocean! Please ask us if you need help planning anything from hikes to zip lining and wine tours or fishing, golfing, paragliding, mountain biking, skate boarding, wind surfing, kayaking, shopping or just sitting around listening to the sea while reading a good book! Villa Vista is the owners unit at Casa Panama and will be occupied by the owner again on 7/1. It will not be available to rent after that date. If you are interested in a smaller unit now that Villa Vista is no longer available, please also consider looking at Casa Panama 2-3 Bedroom Option on this site. We try to make that option available off season Sunday through Wednesday. We also open that opportunity up when Casa Panama has not rented during anytime of the year and that is usually posted 1-3 weeks before it’s available. If you are interested and it helps you tell Toni you’d like to be on a list to be notified and she will be happy to do that. Please always also call on her if you need anything at all. She is the owner and living on the property after 7/1. She has been in this business for over 30 years and enjoy’s hearing from you. She delights in helping you plan your stay while taking pride in being a long term resident and knowing the immediate area. You will find a well researched Welcome Book in the house with restaurants and things to do plus what you need to know about how to work everything at the house. Jenner is surrounded by 10,000 acres of open space and parkland. The proprietary gate to Jenner Headlands is just a few minutes walk from the house so you can leave your car behind and hike 14 miles of new trail with gorgeous views in all directions. Kayaks or tours from Watertreks can be arrranged just down the hill on the river. Kayak to beach if you want or go up river as far as you dare. Cafe Aquatica is on the river just a short walk down the hill for coffee, tea, and delicious sandwiches and open-air music. Next door is a nice wine tasting bar and a great gift store. Don't forget to discover all the trails, water activities, zip lining and sporting options like mountain biking, golfing or even fishing an eco tourism destination offers. Shopping is grand at Duncans Mills. Art galleries there are amazing along with more to see in the art world in Guerneville, Graton, Occidental and Bodega Bay. For wine tasting see our wine tour ideas developed with fun places to stop and see along the way! There is so much to do and beauty to witness in this area you may need an extra day or two! We have a restaurant guide in the house or online but if you need more help planning ask Toni for help. You will access the house from the driveway walking in onto a deck that takes you to a sliding glass door into the kitchen level. The bedroom and bath is an open floor plan down one level. The living room area is up a short flight of stairs from the kitchen and it has a sleeper sofa for extra guests. Villa Vista is a part of the Casa Panama property. It was the owners unit for years and will be available through July 1, 2024. It has three different levels than are in the main house. Special attention was given when designing the unit to make it very private and isolated from the rest of the house for the owners. It was opened as a vacation rental just recently and has the best of view on the property with a unique sense of peace and quiet that makes it really special. Special soundproofing insures your privacy with a section of the house blocked off between floors. There is a private gated entry off of the parking area with one space designated to Villa Vista. There is a private gated entry off of the parking area with one space designated to Villa Vista. You can drive to Goat Rock beach in just about 5 minutes or rent a kayak and paddle over across the estuary. If you drive, the parking lot on the sandy side gives you access to the river. Park close to the restrooms and take the trail behind it to the river for a sheltered spot with a scenic river view and a lovely place for the kids to play. Another great place to hike is Shell Beach. To get there drive South on Hwy 1 about 3 miles to the entrance clearly marked. Shell Beach is a gorgeous hike along the coastal bluff or go across the Hwy on the Pomo Trail to Willow Creek. Check the park system maps for more hiking trails. Don’t forget you can walk from the house up Willig to the back gate of the Jenner Headlands. Or, if you'd like to see the main gate entrance you can drive 2 miles north on Hwy 1 to park there and experience the coastal side of the Headlands. Fort Ross is another 10 minute drive north with plenty of parking and shouldn't be missed!

This property is clean, stocked, and thoughtfully laid out. Beautiful detailed artwork throughout and comfort just where you need it. We loved the style, and the views from every room are breathtaking. Garden full of blooming coastal plants loaded with hummingbirds. We hope to comeback soon!

Location was perfect, the views from the unit and the decks were breathtaking. Communication with owner was easy. Bed was very comfy. Inside and outside all felt very nice, beautiful, and well cared for. Grill was easy to use. Only small bummer was the group staying in the attached unit was very loud which made relaxing outside slightly less peaceful.

The view of the river valley and the ocean were so beautiful! The house is super nice and even cuter than the great pictures on VRBO.
Toni was very available even though we didn’t need anything😊

There are 3 appartements in the same large house. They are separate and vis a vis is limited. Nevertheless, the acoustic insulation between apartments is limited. Our unit was decorated with taste and very functional.

Very well appointed and comfortable 3 level apartment with decks for outdoor enjoyment of a superlative view. It was foggy in the mornings and I felt cocooned and cossetted. When the fog cleared off the views of the Russian River and Pacific were stunning. It was a great spot to relax and unwind.

If you're looking to spend time in Jenner, this is a great spot to consider. There is ample deck space for time outside, and the interior layout provides for a variety of 'vibes'. When the internet for the town went out, our host (who lives nearby) checked in on us to make sure we were ok and let us know how to reach out for help if needed.

We had the most incredible stay at Casa Panama and Villa Vista - we rented all three spaces for 7 people and it was perfect for everyone to have their own space. Toni has done an incredible job outfitting and decorating the spaces. We had perfect weather, the views were endless and epic, and the house just lovely, comfy and cozy.
Thank you for opening your home to us.
We will be back!

This is a perfect house, in a perfect location, with a perfect view. We truly enjoyed our stay and once we parked, we didn't use our car again until we had to leave. It is a five minute walk to town and a five minute walk to access the Jenner Headlands Preserve which offers miles and miles of amazing hiking trails. Toni was an amazing host and we would definitely return in order to reduce the stress of everyday life. I would recommend this property to anyone as long as it it not during the same time I plan to return.

This property is absolutely beautiful and everything as shown in the pictures, and more. I was in transit from the Bay area back to Bend and trying to escape the heat. This place was the perfect office...staring out over the river and ocean all day was mesmerizing (I did get some work done! wifi worked great, although no streaming of movies). Every afternoon spent at the beach by Goat Rock was perfect for the dog. The upstairs living room was super cozy and comfortable, while the bedroom downstairs stayed nice and cool and also had the beautiful view. Hosts are responsive and helpful.
I'd say the only challenges (mostly user error) were learning the compact drawer refrigerator (I came prepared for cooking as not many close restaurants or stores), and the combo microwave/convection oven (missed that detail the first night, but worked great once I figured it out). Oh, and satellite tv never wanted to work for me...but user error again, I'm sure. Watched DVD movies instead which was fine.
The other challenge was parking. I can't imagine driving up and parking a giant SUV or large sedan. Parking is more for a compact. My jeep cherokee fit fine, but when the other rental unit had tenants and multiple cars it was a bit tight getting in and out of the the little driveway.
Overall, a super deluxe stay and absolutely beautiful. I will definitely stay again!

This listing was amazing, I still cannot get over the views! The place was clean and beautifully decorated. Communication with the host was always accommodating and they provided fast responses. Jenner was a cute little town with great access to parks and nearby attractions. We would love to stay again if we are ever in the area!

Ok, but...
Everything is as advertised, beautiful location and well-landscaped property. We had everything we needed but clothing hangers. There is no way to hang up your clothes in the one-bedroom unit. There is a closet but no pole for hangers, which seems strange. We gave the property three stars because of the check-in process. Two days before our arrival, Toni called us and explained there was a mistake and moved us from the one-bedroom to the 4-bedroom unit and said she would send out a confirmation email with the lockbox code, which she did. We thought there must be some issue with the one-bedroom unit and hence the move. We checked into the 4-bedroom unit, unpacked, and proceeded to have dinner out. Upon returning from dinner, all hell broke out. The party scheduled for the 4-bedroom was waiting outside. Toni was traveling, but she sent a friend to straighten this out. Her friend was speechless when we showed her Toni’s email sent to us. She simply didn’t know what to say. We now repacked, moved to the perfectly good one-bedroom unit, and unpacked again. Why we were moved to the 4- bedroom was never explained to us. Nor did Toni ever say she was sorry for the mixup. In some strange way, we feel Toni still thinks we are somehow at fault.

I cannot say enough good things about this location. As a photographer, I LOVED that stunning shots are just outside on the deck. We hiked Jenner headlands from the door and spent hours at the rivers mouth watching the seals play in the water. It was just what we needed to relax.

Terrific views, comfortable space
This place is terrific in so many ways - light and bright, clean, comfortable, high quality furnishings, well equipped kitchen, great views, artistically decorated, easy parking, nice outdoor lounging space, easy access to hiking and beaches nearby, good wifi and TV channel availability, responsive and friendly host, and more. That said, as with any rental, pay attention to the description to make sure the details work for you, such as stairs, bathroom open to the bedroom (toilet is private), on/off gas fireplaces for heat. Overall, we had a great getaway here and we'd definitely go back. I highly recommend it!

This was our 3rd stay at Villa Vista in 2021, and we can't wait to return. The views of both the river + ocean (rare!) are breath-taking, and the house is perfectly angled to capture both vistas. The windows & skylights offer natural light everywhere and lovely surrounding terraced gardens and color. (The photos online don't begin to do it justice!) The home itself is super comfortable - but also charming, with tons of artistic and personal touches.
Top notch bedding and cookware, and electric fireplaces upstairs/down for plenty of warmth. Also, the hosts are SUPER responsive and go above and beyond to meet personalized needs. We wish we could give it far more than 5 stars!

My husband and I have stayed at many homes listed on VRBO over the last 15 years, all along the California, Oregon and Washington coast. This home is by far one of the top - certainly a 10+! The views from all locations are amazing, the entire interior of the home is beautifully decorated and the decks just add to overall experience. We are very familiar with the area but never have stayed in Jenner...we will be back! Toni was here when we arrived and shared some interesting information on her travels which are evident in the decor of the home. My husband loved the cozy reading/TV room upstairs, as did I. Thanks Toni for sharing your home with us!

Great property for sunning and grilling on the deck with expansive water and hill views. Hiking, kayaking, and flying kite on the beach were within minutes of the door. A fantastic place to spend our anniversary.

My husband & I decided on a getaway that combined the redwoods and ocean. Villa Vista fit the bill perfectly. Toni’s lovely home was well-appointed with everything you could need for cooking, comfort & beauty. Our favorite spaces were the decks with beautiful flowers, plants & trees in abundance - and the views of the Russian River & ocean were incomparable! Toni was readily available by text for anything we might need. We would definitely recommend this property & would love to return some day!

Incredible Home
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 breath-taking. 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 in 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 & decor capture the spirit of surrounding area perfectly, and the effect is truly magical. We can't wait to return!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Vista. The views from the kitchen/living area were spectacular and the porches were great spots to soak in the sunshine and cool ocean breezes. The house exceeded expectations from what the listing describes and Toni was prompt with all communication and just lovely all around. The bed was super comfy as well. We used this spot as a home base for hiking trips (Jenner Headlands), beach visits and exploring the coast on Hwy 1. Can't recommend highly enough! Will be back.

Villa Vista is lovely spot for a serene getaway. The home is thoughtfully laid out and beautifully appointed and felt like a safe, clean place to visit during the 2nd SIP of Covid. The views have already been described but they are awesome! The kitchen is well stocked for cooking which is particularly important now because there are few easy restaurant options open. Thank you for a lovely stay!
