Aptly named, “Pacific Vista” offers soothing blue water views of the ocean from this east-of-One setting. Deer, rabbits and wild birds inhabit this meadow-like area, and the rare and dramatic cove called Hearn Gulch is an easy hike away. The house is approximately 10-15 minutes north of Gualala on Iversen Road.

This is a spacious, relaxed and open single-level home that clearly invites the visitor to be at rest. The expansive greatroom holds a generously equipped kitchen, lovely dining area and very comfy living room. This all opens to the patio with a fantastic new hot tub. Perfect for easy outdoor BBQ-ing, dining, and gazing. Up to date furnishings and appointments make this the perfect home away from home!

The office provides a cable modem and printer for your convenience (you supply the laptop). Also in the office is a great futon which makes for easy sitting OR sleeping.

The guest room has a queen bed, and is just off the hallway from a full bathroom.
The huge master bedroom has a king bed, seating area, and door out to the patio. The ensuite bathroom is also very roomy, and offers dual sinks, and a large shower. This room enjoys the same lovely views as the greatroom.

Also included is a garage for guest use and a propane BBQ.
Your dog is welcome for an additional pet rent of $65.

We’d like to start the house description with a few excerpts from the guest book:

“What a romantic and peaceful setting to the beginning of our life together. Soaking in the Jacuzzi, playing on the beach, lounging on the deck, and cooking dinners together, this has been our best vacation ever!”

“Thank you for sharing your lovely home – I’ve stayed at many places along the coast, but this has got to be the best.”

“From the beautiful Napa Valley to the beautiful Blue Dolphin Cove. What a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was breathtaking. We will be back.”

“G. and I have rented many, many, many rentals alomg our beautiful coast in the last 8 years. We both agree this is by far the most romantic one yet.”

“On our first night here, my boyfriend (now fiance) proposed to me on the deck while we watched the sunset.”

“One of our favorite things was being able to see the whales. We saw dozens while we were here.”

Now, for a few details about Blue Dolphin! Spectacular views sweep south and west across Island Cove. The many rocky mini-islands add to the drama. Some days will seem nearly tropical. Others will thrill you with Nature’s power and changing personality. 

Intimate dining with an infinite view. 

Color…warmth…something to please the eye with every glance. While Blue Dolphin’s bluff-top location certainly contributes to the beautiful setting, the stylish furnishings and playful accents hold their own very nicely. 

Two luxurious bedrooms each with a queen bed and ocean view. 

The bathroom with deep tub is centrally located between the two bedrooms. The view is across the top of the hot tub, and beyond into the cove. There is an additional half-bath just off the living room. The loft has gorgeous views, and also offers the satellite TV with VCR and DVD.

Enjoy the views from this vista point. You can easily imagine calling out the orders to weigh anchor and hoist the sails as you gaze out from this “Captain’s bridge.” Actually, this photo was taken from the master bedroom balcony.

Windsong renters have access to the private beach of Island Cove. This is a remarkable sandy cove, with rocky islets just off-shore. Perfect for diving, sun bathing, watching sea lions and birds on the rocks, or a lovely picnic.

Built in 1994, Windsong is a finely crafted contemporary home with all the amenities, in a one-in-a-million setting on the rugged cliffs north of Gualala. Inside…The greatroom, dining area, breakfast nook and kitchen all share the marvelous high ceiling and airy spaciousness. It’s so easy to enjoy the view from just about anywhere in this perfectly designed house. The layout of the kitchen and family areas make entertaining, cooking, and enjoying conversation so easy! Just off the greatroom and dining area is the large guest bedroom with queen bed and bathroom.

The elegant spiral staircase leads to a sumptuous and private master bedroom suite with an Eastern king bed, sitting area, balcony and bathroom with a large tile shower with a window.

You’ll love the hot tub at this amazing home which is dramatically located just a few feet from the edge of the cliff! The hot tub deck is through the door right next to the dining table, and you’ll find a charcoal BBQ just outside the front door.

So many quality appointments and special touches are found throughout this beautiful, well maintained home. These are a few highlights: satellite TV/VCR, stereo with CD and dual cassette players, wood stove, central heat, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave. You’ll have to experience the rest in person!

All this, plus a detached studio above the garage with bathroom and queen bed.
