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. Sonoma County TOT Number: 3110
