Just booked or 8th visit. This is a wonderful location with fantastic hosts, Kevin and Mia. Mia's breakfasts are worth the visit alone but Kevin's local insights are not to be missed. Rooms and cottages are just what you want for rest and comfort each with its own character.

My first visit to the Coast Guard House was to celebrate my birthday. I had gone on line and the web site immediately caught my eye because it was just what I wanted: a B&B that looked really cozy and comfortable, was located away from foot and car traffic and, as an added bonus, had a historical past, a working Coast Guard Station. That weekend was the beginning of a tradition, the yearly trip to the coast for Art in the Redwoods and a weekend's stay with Mia and Kevin for my birthday. Mia's breakfast's are the best, they are yummy and healthy!!! Don't worry, they'll ask if you have any dietary restrictions. The decorative flowers from the garden add to the delightful presentation and every meal seems to last forever as we seem to linger and chat with the other guests long after the plates are empty and have been whisked back into the kitchen. Kevin makes sure we have reservations for dinner, even when we have made very last minute requests. He always has a fire ready in the free standing stove when we come in after dark, a warm invitation to sit and talk with good friends or a chance to read a good book. Although we have been there many times now, we are still exploring the Point Arena area. Every trip brings new adventures, walks along the many beaches, catching a movie at the beautifully restored movie theater in Point Arena, huffing and puffing up the stairs at the Point Arena Lighthouse, exploring the shops and the local hardware store in Gualala, visiting the wonderful botanical gardens in Fort Bragg and walking up and down the pier at Point Arena Cove to watch all the local fishermen as they lower/raise their boats, weigh and mark their fish before delivery to restaurants and markets and watching people dinghy to and from to their anchored boats in the cove, there is always something interesting to watch. AND don't forget there's always the sunset if the fog hasn't rolled in!!!

Afterwards, you'll want to visit the Point Arena Lighthouse or go wine tasting in the Anderson Valley.Most of our guests come to our inn for a relaxing and romantic get-away, to read in the garden, sip wine around the living room fireplace, soak in the outdoor hot tub or just explore Arena Cove.

Fishing from the public pier just below the Coast Guard House requires no license.
