A wonderful riverfront property with a short walk to the beach - The Sandy Star started life as a traditional Russian River home with wood paneling and floors throughout. Under new ownership, and a complete remodel, the house is bright and light with ample charm and character. Hand painted murals grace 3 bedrooms and modern conveniences and cheery artwork liven up the kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces. And outside is as delightful as inside at this riverfront escape! The beautifully remodeled and bright kitchen faces the living room and sometimes dining space. A long counter seats 6 guests in bright orange tall chairs, all the better to laugh and joke with the "kitchen staff" and enjoy each other's company. Stainless steel appliances - fridge, stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker - and oodles of counter space make cooking a pleasure at The Sandy Star. And there's ample storage space for your sundries. Sip a cup of coffee or tea in the kitchen's seating nook while supervising breakfast preparation. Or linger in the living room with a glass of wine. From the sectional sofa, leather chair and rocking chair you can snug in front of the gas fireplace or turn and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV. Behind the sofa, the console converts into a dining table to seat 6 comfortably or 8 tightly. If the weather is nice, though, you'll want to eat outside! The crowning glory of the living room is the full wall of windows that fold open to the deck! With two outdoor heaters, large picnic table with umbrella, propane BBQ and stunning views of the river - everyone will want to hang out on the upper deck! The newly built decks hover in the redwoods for a mix of shade and sunshine. Mosey down the stairs to the lower patio and deck to the 6 person hot tub (which is available 7 am to 10 pm, only) and outdoor shower. Up a short flight of stairs from the living room, each of the three bedrooms has a queen bed and unique murals painted by a local (Bay Area) artist. Two bedrooms face the river and overlook the back decks and hot tub area while one bedroom faces the street of this quiet residential neighborhood. There's a full bathroom with double sink/vanity, cheery colored walls and subway tile shower with rain shower head. Off the hallway the washer and dryer are tucked into a closet. The fourth bedroom is the kid's room - on the main level, just off the kitchen with a double/twin bunk bed with and views to the river. There are games and toys in the drawers and a door to the huge back deck. A second full bathroom with tiled shower and rain shower head is next to the kid's room and kitchen. A short mosey down a path leads to a fantastic neighborhood beach. You can cut through the backyard or walk around the house to the public easement which serves as a wide path to the river. A double kayak and canoe are locked in the lower backyard for guests to use between mid-June and the end of September, conditions permitting. Stop to pick blackberries in the summer but look out for poison oak. This beach is accessible nearly year-round. Know Before You Book: Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at The Sandy Star is 8 people. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time. Quiet Hours and The Hot Tub: The Sandy Star is in a close-knit residential neighborhood. To maintain a good relationship with our neighbors - and remain in compliance with the Quiet Hours mandated in the Vacation Rental Ordinance - guests are welcome to use the hot tub until 10 pm when the hot tub is set to shut off. After that time, please relocate to the upper deck or inside. The hot tub has power only between 7 am and 10 pm. Parking: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 vehicles. There is space for up to 2 cars in the driveway and an additional car on the street in front of the house. The garage is not available for guests. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance. EV Charger - Available upon Advance Request Only. The Sandy Star has a TurboCord Electric Vehicle Charger with designated 240v NEMA 6-20 outlet. The TurboCord has a standard SAE J1772 plug and works with most electric vehicles sold in the US. The cord is made available to guests who request no earlier than 1 week in advance of their arrival date. In the case of reservations made within one week of arrival, the cord can be requested at the time of booking. Bed Sizes: First Bedroom: Queen Bed; Second Bedroom: Queen Bed; Third Bedroom: Queen Bed; Fourth Bedroom: Twin/Double Bunk Bed. Heat Source: Central Heat and Gas Fireplace with a remote. Rec/Game Room: The game room is an unheated, uninsulated space. Temperature varies throughout the year. A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the nighttime temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house. Stairs: Exterior Stairs - there is a short flight of stairs to the front door and another short flight of stairs from the back deck to the lower deck, hot tub area and playroom. Interior Stairs: There is a short flight of stairs from the living room area to the upper level with 3 of the bedrooms, full bathroom, and W/D. Beach and River Access: The Sandy Star faces the Russian River and a fantastic neighborhood beach. There are two ways to get to the path to the beach. First, you can take the stairs from the back yard by the hot tub and go through a gate in the lower yard. Second, walk out the front yard and turn right, immediately onto the path. Either way, it's a very short walk to the beach and river. Docks & Boats: Docks and beaches are seasonal only and available from mid-June to mid-September providing the summer dams are in. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboats and rowboats that are provided in some of our homes are also available from mid-June to mid-September only. The river is usually too swift for boating in the winter and many docks and beaches are under water until late spring. Work from HERE: A desk, chair and lamp sits in an out-of-the-way spot in the living room - adjacent to the large back deck.

All of us agreed it would be our go-to spot for our annual Russian River vacation. It was great having a separate playroom for the younger kids. The property is so close to the river access we didn’t have to stress about packing a full days worth of snacks or floaties. Communication w the owner team was easy and they were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. ##### Rebecca C.

Looks out over the Russian River, cute little neighborhood, open floor plan and 4 rooms so we all had a bed. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking or plenty of local diners nearby. Weather permitting town is walking distance as well. Great little 9 hole golf course nearby called Northwoods tucked among the Redwoods. The restaurant there has a nice grill and all the fryer food was great. ##### Sean K. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reuben B.

The deck is tranquil and lovely and we found the space to be perfectly appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable for our five-day stay. We loved the hot tub and the proximity to the river - it feels like you have your own private beach down at the shore! We're already talking about when we can come back. ##### Claire A.

Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving Gathering This home is GREAT!!! \*Excellent Layout \*Excellent Kitchen. It lacked in some areas of utensils (But dont all vacation homes?) We were prepared for this & brought the fancy stuff (mixer, cuisinart, serving trays, etc) For typical vacation use (limited cooking) this place has what you need!! \*Fabulous backyard & EXCELLENT for pets!! It is well secured & so clean!!!! \*Fireplace made us cozy & comfortable. We did not use the accodion doors as it was too cold so the indoor/outdoor vibe can only be appreciated in warmer weather. \*This place has sleeping accomodations for more than is listed. The play room (which has a touch of a musty basement smell-- A difuser fixed this) has 2 double futons and 2 mini cotts for kids. \*The beds are not good. If you have a great bed at home, then these beds are a big let down. Im a tough customer here, but it must be said that this is the area that needs improvement. They also need to supply more blanekts and pillows. The beds in the playroom have no sleeping supplies & there is no extra to cuddle up on the couch with. \*Parking is Limited!!! We had permission for day guests as we are local and wanted to eat as a big family. We parked 2 cars at Safeway and got by easily. Beach access is right next to home so there is zero wiggle room for cars. Very narrow streets. That being said, I should add that we parked 2 Full Sized crew cab trucks easily. \*This is a GREAT home that I would absolutely rent again!! ##### Erin S.

Dec 12, 2017 #### Lovely House on Russian River My family and close relatives spent Thanksgiving at the Sandy Star and had a wonderful time in the house. The house is as advertised, and, if anything deemphasize the AWESOME back deck. We were fortunate in that the rains held off and, as a result, enjoyed many hours of relaxing sunset views and conversation on the deck. Inside, the house is in great condition, with a really well stocked kitchen. Everything that we needed for cooking a Thanksgiving meal was there, so less involved family dinners shouldn't be a problem at all. Our toddler especially loved the play room in the basement, and had a ton of fun with the assortment of toys down there. Overall, we had a great trip and would definitely stay again. ##### Michael J.

First off a shout out to the Management company who made the whole process simple. They answered questions extremely quickly, were accommodating and friendly. That small town feeling was there. The House was redone from top to bottom, fun, stylish, artistic and comfortable. The attention to detail shows and we loved it! Beds and linens are great. The Kitchen well stocked. The deck is beautiful. The walk down to the river was pleasant, and short. The only thing that I think could be a detractor for some is that there is no yard and its too far to walk to town. Otherwise, this house is really a gem. Guernville did not disappoint, we had great meals at Boon, and the Market. The pie and ice cream are great at the bank. There are enough shops worthy of a stroll, the river was beautiful, and the Redwoods pleasant in summer. ##### Gayle P.

My friends and I rented the home for a bachelorette weekend. We had 7 women, 2 infants and 2 kids. We all had room to sleep and hang out. The patio deck is the best aspect of the home. There are folding glass door that allow you to open up the entire living room to the patio. The kitchen is also well designed and allowed several of us to cook and hang out. The kitchen also has both recycling and composting. Access to the river is a short walk down a public access path. The path leads to a fairly large course sand beach. The home decor is very inviting. It is sharp and clean, but very inviting. I would definitely recommend! ##### Jeannette O.
