Find the perfect spot for your loved ones to gather at this bright, private home in Sea Ranch. Take in the scenery in this private and spacious setting while enjoying the best of this storied seaside community is at your fingertips - a private courtyard including a hot tub, a distant ocean view from the deck, and the golf course, the Del Mar Rec Center, and downtown Gualala within minutes.
This home sits in an open meadow just east of Highway 1. Scenic hiking trails are accessible from the property, Del Mar's heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas are less than a half-mile walk from the house, and the oceanfront Bluff Trail is only a block or so beyond that.
Enter by way of a sheltered courtyard, where you'll find the hot tub, a gas grill, and cushioned outdoor seating to enjoy in the afternoon sunshine. Inside the main part of the home, you'll be greeted by a two-story great room with generous windows and a gas fireplace to warm you as you watch movies at night. This space blends into an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large island with bar seating, and an adjacent dining room table. An expansive deck - with hammocks, loungers, and rocking chairs - wraps around the house and is accessible through multiple glass doors.
The second-floor loft is a beautiful spot to escape with a good book, set up your laptop, or enjoy a board game. When it's time to turn in, you'll find that each bedroom has its own bathroom and direct access to the outdoors, including a primary suite with a TV, a soaking tub and a shower, and a separate dressing room. The third bedroom is in a detached casita across the courtyard with its own shuffleboard table, refrigerator, and workspace.

We could not have had a better trip to the Northern California and it has much to do with having the Driftwood as our base camp. It is an amazing Sea Ranch property with tons of indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy in solidarity or in community. From sunrise to sunset the ocean views from the deck are perfect for that morning coffee to evening cocktail. The Sea Ranch community amenities also provided us with many options from, hiking, golf, swimming, dining, and pickleballing, which we took full advantage of. We can't say enough about our great stay and we are already making plans to head back!
I’ve stayed a number of houses at sea ranch over the last twenty years. This one stands as one of the better…open space, good direction for prevailing wind. The house was well stocked and comfortable. Additional space was available which is a great outlet for kids. Can’t say enough good things.
We loved our stay. Amazing spot.
I loved my stay at the Driftwood. The home has been really nicely renovated and is positioned in a great part of Sea Ranch. We had some clear nights where we could stargaze late in the evening and relax in the hot tub with all of the lights off. Absolutely loved it!
This house was incredible! A healing space; tranquil, gorgeous, open, amazing location. Magical walks and chats on the deck daily. Super well stocked, nice details everywhere. It was spotless! Highly recommend. Can not wait to visit again.
This rental was perfection! We had three couples and it was the best layout. There are great places to hang out as a group and then multiple places outside to spread out including two separate sitting areas. The stars you can see while sitting in the hot tub are unmatched and we loved the trails that you can hop on right from the yard. Sea Ranch is an incredible area, there is so much to explore and something for everyone. The owners have paid attention to detail and it creates a comfortable and cool atmosphere. Our group travels a lot and this was truly the best rental! We will definitely be back!
This home was exactly what we were looking for. The location is a short walk to the coast in a natural setting, but just a few miles drive from town with all the necessary amenities. The house had everything we needed including multiple outdoor areas to watch the kids run around or watch the ocean and wildlife. Will come up again next year. Thank you!
