Oceanfront Retreat on the Sonoma Coast
Perched above Carmet Beach on the Sonoma Coast, Carmet Crest is an oceanfront home where the Pacific is audible from every room—and visible from nearly every window.
Three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath—no shared bathrooms, no negotiating the morning schedule. The Primary Suite faces the ocean with a king bed and a bath guests describe as a destination in itself: a Romeo and Juliet double shower encased in rare sodalite stone. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a 48″ Wolf range with griddle, stocked down to the spices and a Wolf coffee maker with a built-in scale. The dining table seats eight; four more at the island means the whole group can linger over a meal together.
One thousand square feet of front deck runs the full width of the house—Adirondack chairs, a propane firepit, a gas grill, and during whale migration season, gray whale spouts visible right from your seat. Just across Highway 1, a steep path leads down to Carmet Beach, where the tidepools come alive at low tide: starfish, anemones, and sea creatures in abundance. The private hot tub sits in a fenced backyard under open sky.
The separate rec room—pool table, Pac-Man arcade, its own entrance—gives the group a domain of their own without disturbing the rest of the house.
Carmet Crest is more than a place to stay—it's the house guests come back to.
Nestled on the rugged Sonoma Coast, Carmet Crest sits steps from the beach and ten minutes from Bodega Bay—where Spud Point Crab Company, Terrapin Creek, and whale watching tours await.

"Truly one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the oceanfront views were absolutely stunning. The hot tub was pristine! Highly recommended—we would return in a heartbeat!"
"Front row to the ocean! Beautiful home, well appointed with quality appliances and thoughtful touches throughout. Super clean. Game room was fun. Very well stocked with kitchen and bathroom necessities. Seriously one of the nicest homes I've ever splurged on. Highly recommend!"
"This was an amazing place—each room had its own bathroom, which was amazing. Super clean hot tub with a view of the ocean. The beach across the street is steep but absolutely worth it. Go at low tide—we saw starfish galore. We sat on the deck facing the ocean and saw whale spouts!! The coffee maker makes the best coffee a drip maker has ever made."
