Guesthouse in Sebastopol

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 681 reviews

Sun Drenched Flat

Put up the burnt-orange parasol and settle down with book on the patio while the barbecue heats up. Sitting above a garage in a serene, walkable neighborhood, this sunlit retreat's beachy cream painted paneling gives it a chilled, refined vibe. Check out all that Sebastopol has to offer at: visitsebastopolnow.come This second story house is a very desirable space, located close to town, still being set on a very beautiful street in an friendly established older neighborhood. It is nestled between other structures on the property. One being a "Tiny House" that is right next door, my home sits behind the flat. The house has a full kitchen with all the utensils and necessary cooking items, pots pans etc. Large toaster oven that will even fit your frozen pizza. There is a space in front with some Adirondack chairs and BBQ if you want to relax outside. The house has its own separate entrance off the driveway. My house is in back of the flat, I may or may not see you, but I am available for any questions at any time. You will more than likely be greeted by our white cat with orange tips (named White Boy). If he gets a chance, Charlie our very exuberant Golden Doodle will give you a warm excited welcome. Located just 1 mile from the heart of the sweet town of Sebastopol, this area is a handy stepping off point to explore nearby wineries, scenic beaches, and shopping and restaurants at redwoods. A very nice mile walk to town or a five minute drive. There is a flight of stairs that you climb to get to the Flat space, it does not have wheelchair access. There are cats on the property, but they do not go inside the flat. Our Goldendoodle is extremely friendly. The leather couch folds flat into a double bed for accommodating two more guests. Access to the bathroom is through the bedroom however. There is no dedicated parking, however the street parking directly across from the flat, just up from, but not in front of the three mailboxes is usually always open.
