Awake to the sounds of blue heron, river otters, bald eagles, harbor seals, the river, and waves. Skip traffic! This small getaway jewel shares its address with the best of the Pacific Coast and Sonoma County. Relax and contemplate the surrounding beauty from this cottage hideaway. The Russian River is your front yard, and Pacific Ocean is just around the bend. So, bring your kayak or rent one, pack a picnic, and walk the oceans’ edge, hike a trail or two, and view life a little differently. Located in view of "Penny Island" – a bird and wildlife sanctuary - in the Russian River Estuary in Jenner by the Sea on the California coast, guests praise the views, quick walk to fabulous food, and access to miles of trails and beaches to explore. Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Erinleigh by the Sea is 2 people not including kids under 3 years old. Quiet hours are from 9:00 pm until 7:00 am. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at all times. A Note About Our Cleaning Fees: Thank you for supporting our local business! When you stay with us, you support local families at work. We think everyone deserves a decent living wage, and we make sure to set the rates and fees so that our cleaners earn a living wage in beautiful Sonoma County. Parking: There is parking for a maximum of 2 vehicles along the fence and in front of the garage. The garage is not available for parking. RVs, trailers, and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. Bed Sizes: Bedroom: Queen bed. Heating: There is a propane “woodstove” which heats the whole cabin plus a smaller bathroom heater. Cooling: The house does not have air conditioning. Being at the coast, the nighttime temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house. There is a ceiling fan. Kitchen: Erinleigh by the Sea does not have a dishwasher or garbage disposal as it’s on a septic system. The kitchen is fully stocked (minus groceries) for your stay. Bathrooms: The bathroom includes a shower over a classic cast iron bathtub. Washer/Dryer: This home does not provide a washer/dryer. Location: Properties along Hwy 1 are a mix of permanent residents and vacation rentals, families, working folks, hotels, resorts, restaurants, and shops. To honor this balance, we ask guests to park only in the spaces described above and respect the quiet hours in addition to general family-friendly, residential neighborhood expectations. Your actions along the estuary greatly impact our environment. Thank you for helping to continue the tradition of a mutually beneficial relationship between vacation rentals, local community, and nature! Road and Other Noise: Erinleigh by the Sea is located directly next to and below the Hwy 1. Traffic is busiest on fair weather weekends and tends to quiet in the evenings. Not as much of the traffic noise carries to the house as it is situated below the road and there are new windows, but sound carries across the water, and you’ll hear life music from Café Aquatica and folks paddling the estuary during the day. Wildlife and waves can be noisy too! Road to Erinleigh by the Sea: No matter how you get here, the last part of your journey is along Hwy 1 which is twisty and turny in sections. With drivers in a hurry and taking their time. Please be cautious when pulling onto and off the road. Rural Setting and Critters: We live in a rural area with ants, spiders, rodents, and larger critters from raccoons and mountain lions to bears. While we make the best effort to protect against them from coming into homes, we also do not use poison where it can harm wildlife, pets, and children. And keeping all critters out is simply not possible. We appreciate your help in putting tasty smelling items into refrigerators, proper disposal of trash, and understanding that ants (especially) come in without warning and may not have been present at the time of cleaning. Cell Phones: Please be aware that many cell phones will not have service at this location. There is wifi. Stairs: While the living areas in the house are all one level, there is a flight of stairs from the parking area to the front door. Please look at the photos if stairs are a concern. Pet Policy: No Pets. Service animals are always accommodated under the ADA. Fencing: The area between the house and Hwy 1 is fenced with a locking gate. The rest of the property is not fenced. A Note About TVs: The Smart TV has Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, and hundreds of streaming channels. Guests are welcome to bring their login info for these apps. The television does not have cable services. River Access: While perched above the river, there is not direct access to the water from the house. The Jenner Boat Launch is 0.2 miles from the house and the perfect (safe) location to launch your kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard. Conditions vary from year to year and can change rapidly – use your best judgement to determine your risk level and comfort in the water/physical activity.

One of my top favorite airbnbs of all time. By Margo W – stayed Aug 2024 This is the third time I've stayed at Erinleigh. Peaceful, welcoming, quiet, clean, and bright. This stylish vacation home is \*thankfully devoid\* of airbnb-typical staged word art and cheap furnishings. The bed is medium-firm and the dining and kitchen areas perfectly proportioned for the scale of the unit. If I had to critique: The bathroom is the weakest part of the unit. It's dimly lit. Sink is dual faucet with spigots that are too close to the sink bowl. The clawfoot bathtub/shower, while antique-y, is cramped and somewhat cumbersome to get in and out of. The standout feature is the porch that extends out over the Russian River. During a previous stay, I was awakened by the call of a pair sea lions swimming past the porch. On this last trip a family of 5 river otters swam past the unit looking for breakfast. There are usually a variety of birds around. The sound of the ocean soothes the soul when sitting out on the porch. Verdict: Will stay again. By Todd D – stayed Aug 2024 This rental was great. Serene and peaceful location. The house was clean and tidy and had all the necessary amenities etc. We will come back again soon! :) By Frank D – stayed Aug 2024 The house was lovely, and right on the water as promised. The house was comfortable and more than enough space for two people. Very easy check-in and out, and clean. By Vicki S – stayed Aug 2024 Perfection, look no further if you want to be in Jenner. The nightly rate is quite steep; but the property is very lovely. I would highly recommend it if you are able to afford the price. By Francesca S – stayed Jul 2024 This is a wonderful little cottage right on the Russian river. It has great views and is pretty much right in Jenner. The place was quiet, clean and comfortable. The only thing that I would say, is that there is no door on the hallway side of the bedroom or curtains on the French doors. So, for those on different sleep or work schedules, this may be an issue. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay. By Eric B – stayed Jul 2024 Loved this place! We celebrated our 10th anniversary with wife there. We loved the quietness and views! We plan to visit this place again in the near future! By Aram M – stayed Jun 2024 We had a wonderful stay at a beautiful location. The house was perfect for the our 2-day getaway. The views are stunning and falling asleep to the lapping of the river against the shore was a little slice of heaven. By Thomas A – stayed Jun 2024 Erinleigh by the Sea was everything as described and more! The perfect get away for a couple. Comfortable, cozy, and clean, it is simply a gem. Be sure to go to River’s End restaurant. We walked. Very romantic, delicious food/wine, and impeccable service. By Peter B – stayed May 2024 I had a wonderful stay here. The view, the location, the house itself was all absolutely perfect. Very peaceful and quiet tucked away from the road. Will definitely be coming back. By Kailey D – stayed May 2024 This was a great little getaway for me and my wife. It was great to relax on the back deck while watching the seals, otters, and birds. The view is amazing. We would definitely recommend this stay and would return ourselves. Loved!! By Randy L – stayed May 2024 Everything was exactly as pictured - beautiful, clean and very nicely appointed. Check-in was smooth. Thank you, we had a lovely stay!! By Susan S – stayed Apr 2024 The cabin was a perfect 5 day getaway. Clean, cozy, charming decor and amazing views! Our weather was kinda rainy while there but we soon determined that didn’t matter one bit.
