The Sandy Star

We had a wonderful stay at The Sandy Star and couldn't have asked for a better home for our family getaway. The house was comfortable, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.Our favorite part was the private river access and beach area. The cousins had an absolute blast spending their days playing in the river, making memories we'll all cherish. The kitchen was also incredibly well-equipped, making it easy to prepare all of our meals together without missing a thing.One of the biggest highlights was that the home is dog-friendly, which is surprisingly rare with vacation rentals. Our pup had the best time being part of all the family fun, and we really appreciated being able to bring them along.The beautiful deck quickly became our favorite gathering spot. Even on the cooler evenings, the heat lamps kept everyone comfortable so we could enjoy dinner outside surrounded by the peaceful scenery.Overall, The Sandy Star was the perfect home base for our family vacation, and we would absolutely stay here again!

This home was the perfect location for our stay in Guerneville. It's just a few minutes from town center, Armstrong Woods, wineries and only 40 minutes to the pacific ocean. We especially liked having a driveway to park your car. Many rentals in the Guerneville area only have street side parking. The house was great. The kitchen was a dream to use. The living room is cozy and inviting with an incredible ceiling and there is a nest thermostat if you need it. Having a deck built around redwood trees was amazing We spent a lot of time on the deck. We never had a problem with cell phone service while we we there. It's a short walk to the river as well. We didn't use the playroom area so we can't comment on that. We looked forward to spending time at the house after our daily excursions around the area. We are so glad we chose this house for our stay.

I highly recommend this accommodation. The space was especially wonderful for kids and the host was incredibly communicative and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay went well in the setting of an unanticipated power outage in the area beyond their control. The house was equipped with everything we could need and the neighborhood beach was remarkably pleasant. The only quibble I can think of is the checkout instruction to run AND unload the dishwasher prior to departure, which is not a reasonable ask, but that is super minor. We hope to return next year!

The Sandy Star is a beautifully put-together home on the Russian River. It offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing with friends and family. My dog and I had a wonderful time, and my friends loved the experience too. Amazing customer service as well. The folks on the other end of my text messages were super friendly and professional. We’re already planning our return, can’t wait to come back!

Nice view. Great deck and hammock. Comfortable beds. Loved the fireplace. Nice kitchen.
