Don and Sharon Hamilton are second generation native Northern Californians. They have owned this building for over 20 years, and have upgraded it from time to time, and lived in it between other projects. Currently, they live downstairs in Unit #2.

Recent remodels of Units #1 and #2 also included new dual-paned windows throughout the whole building, new colorful Florida-style paint, awnings and palm trees. We love the beach vibe, and when we're not in Santa Rosa, look for us over on the Florida Gulf Coast at Indian Rocks Beach.

Don still sells real estate, while Sharon, former Realtor, is now a full time novelist. Some of her books as well as others are yours for the taking upon your stay.

We are honored to host you. Enjoy your stay with us!

Walking distance to downtown, as well as Town & Country Market, a boutique grocer with world-class meats and a deli that rivals any in the county. Proctor Terrace Elementary school is nearby, with a blacktopped hoop area and soccer field. First Presbyterian Church is located on the corner of McDonald Avenue and Pacific. Don't miss City Garden doughnut shop on 4th Street, as well as NY Pie (and they deliver). If you desire a taste of NOLA, The Parrish has cheese and shrimp grits and strong coffee that will melt your insides.

Montgomery Village is also close by, about a 20 minute walk, with numerous shops and restaurants, with lots of outdoor dining choices, at all times of year. Safeway and CVS are very close.

Montecito Health Club is behind CVS and across the street. They allow day passes (arrange through them), and has a spa, two pools, tennis courts, fitness areas and access to personal training. There is also a large family pool for health club visitors behind the Flamingo (passes required).

Our Proctor Terrace neighborhood is perfect for dog-walking, leisurely biking or just taking an afternoon stroll. Our vintage 1940's building fits right in with the neighborhood style and flavor. You'll find it a dog-friendly area with friendly residents.

By car, closest hospital is barely 2 miles away, Memorial Hospital, with world renowned Kelly Cardiac Care center.

Reservations for wine tours, trekking, zipline canopy tours and other activities can be arranged through the reception area at the Flamingo Hotel, and several wine tours begin there.

We hope you'll come back year after year, like some of our guests. We'll treat you like family!
