I recently stayed here with a group of friends and this house could not have been more perfect for us. This home is spacious, yet comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with the staples and has plenty of wares for cooking at the house. The best part, is that EVERY room in the house has spectacular views of the ocean--you are so close you can almost reach out and touch it. We even spotted some migratory grey whales on the deck one morning!

Here is a list of highlights:
Very clean and organized
Great communication with Owner
Outdoor hot tub, perfect for star gazing
Large fire place for extra comfort & relaxation
Games, books, DVDs
Walking distance to a yummy taqueria
Perfect for large groups

We will definitely be returning!

Even better than the description

We've stayed in a number of places on the Sonoma-Mendocino coast, but this home is, by far, the most comfortable of all.

The owners thought of everything their guests could possibly need. The kitchen was exceedingly well equipped, which is a rarity. Fresh herbs growing in the front yard. The ocean views: awesome. The hot tub is perfect. Far Niente is charmingly decorated- you'll fall in love with the lighthouse collection.

And, we couldn't get over how quiet it is- so many places on the coast can have a lot of noise from the trucks on Hwy 1, but not here. You can hear the waves, and at night, you can see a gajillion million stars.

This would be a great place for a large family get-together, with the layout providing plenty of space in the common areas, and plenty of privacy for each sleeping area. It is equally suitable for a romantic getaway. And, while there is so much to do outdoors in the area, there is a ton of "stuff" to keep you entertained should it rain- a large video and music library, etc.

There are many stores in the town of Gualala (including excellent grocery stores), just a "mile down the road".

The owners were very helpful, providing information on special events taking place during our stay. I would highly recommend this property. It is a very special place. We can't wait to go back.

Thank you for making your paradise available for others to enjoy.

This was our second stay at Far Niente, and we again had a wonderful time. Very clean and filled with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. This was an anniversary getaway weekend for just me and my husband; left the kids at home!

Thank you Paul and Mary for sharing your home. The hot tub is wonderful; nothing more relaxing than sitting in the hot tub at night, looking at the expanse of stars. We also enjoyed the fireplace and the balcony. We can't wait to go back again!
