Writer's Retreat or Romanic Getaway? (31+ days only) Month Long Vacation Rental
Heartland Studio is a former Writer's Retreat. With it’s ocean view, private entrance and parking, barbecue area, outside table and direct walkway to Zikar Park, the studio also a perfect a romantic getaway.
We encourage you to take a pleasant stroll down to the pond and explore the redwood groves beyond. You’ll find chairs and little tables are up within them, perfect for simply sitting around, enjoying the rustling of the breeze as it makes its way through the trees.
The wall décor are original pieces of history. In the bathroom are early works of Van Arsdale (circa the 1920’s) and Alberto Vargas’ work from Esquire in the mid 40’s. Over my desk, you’ll find Alex Raymond’s 1934 Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers from 1935. We hope you’ll enjoy our collection of movie posters including Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, Shirley Temple and Ronald Reagan, and the westerns of John Ford. All the happy pieces around the fireplace are the work of my wife, who loves collecting these treasures from the golden era of film.
