A writer's paradise, this home has had more best selling books written within its walls than any home on the Mendocino Coast line. An inspiration to authors (and anyone else looking for inspiration), the energy at 247 Solstice in Sea Ranch is tranquil and still–making it the perfect romantic get away, writer's retreat from the world, or a special family vacation. Decorated with the ocean in mind, the house is elegant and comfortable all at once. Three bedrooms (one set up for kids withtwo sets of bunk beds sleeping 4), one queen guest room, and one California King, this 2500 square foot home is perfect for one to two couples and four kids. There is also a comfortable day-bed in the living room that can sleep an additional guest.

With chairs and sitting areas to fall back into in every corner, the home is the ideal respite to grab a book and disappear into its pages. A perfect setting to enjoy all of the amenities of coastal living at its best, a short walk from a sauna and heated pool plus tennis courts. The private sea ranch foot path is just off the deck, and stretches for about 13 miles up and down one of the most gorgeous cliff-side coastlines in the world. Walk-on beach is a mere ten minute trek, but there's no need to go further than the front room for full enjoyment of a spectacular view to watch the whales go by from the couch. Additional guest fee for more than 2 persons will be $50.00 per night per guest.

    Very nice bluff house, and well-situated on the property with both direct unobstructed ocean and long down coast views. (On a clear day the Sea Ranch Lodge is actually visible using binoculars...)There is a large deck facing the Pacific. Sliding glass doors from the great room, kitchen, and main bedroom all access the deck, with stairs leading from the deck directly to the bluff trail. Kitchen is well-stocked, with everything needed for cooking any type of meal.Walk On Beach is an easy 15-20 minutes south via the bluff trail.Grocery shopping in Gualala is about a five minute drive north on Highway 1.Communication with the property manager was excellent.Attached pictures show views from:1) inside the house (great room sliding glass doors) looking down coast across the deck,2) inside the house (great room window), and 3) outside the house (on the deck) looking up coast at sunset.Highly recommend this house!

    We had the most amazing stay! The views from every room upstairs are unbelievable. The house itself was so comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. Communication was fast and easy with the host and she was just awesome! Will definitely be back!

    Spent a few nights at this residence towards the end of an extended vacation. The home was perfect for my family and the property manager was very helpful. The home provided perfect views no matter where you were of the ocean and access to the trails/community resources made it to where you never had to leave the area. When returning to the area for a vacation again I hope this property is available.

    Just what we were looking for in this short getaway. A house on the cliffs near the ocean, beautiful views from the deck and inside the house. The house is very clean and nicely decorated. Walking the adjacent trail was a great experience. Sitting on the deck listening to the ocean with a morning cup of coffee and an afternoon full of wine and laughter was the highlight of this amazing home. Only downside was the wind.

    Loved the views, steps to the walking path...we were told steps to the beach...but not the case there was a cliff. However that was OK...we loved everything about it. Very calming weekend which is definitely what was perfect for us. Could hear the ocean at night. The deck was wonderful. That is where we spent most of our time. Just starring with a Mimosa in hand. Kitchen was well appointed. We will be back.

    This place hits all the marks. So close to the bluff trail, the views and sounds of the ocean from all rooms and the deck are spectacular. The home is so comfortable, featuring luxurious and tasteful furnishings with all amenities. The thoughtful design well reflects that of the amazing planners and stewards of The Sea Ranch.

    Overall this is a great Sea Ranch house. There are some things that could use a bit more attention to detail, but I would not hesitate to return to this property. It has views & views, inside and out. This rental has the best patio furniture BY FAR of any home we have rented at Sea Ranch. The sunsets from the deck each evening were delightful. Tip for seal sightings. We discovered that the seals congregate on the rocks about 50 yards north of the home at low tide (for us in the morning). Walk to the cypress grove about halfway through it, and then look over the cliff edge. You will get a seal surprise!

    Kristin’s place was amazing. Extremely clean and steps from the Pacific Ocean. We also enjoyed the amenities of sea ranch (going to the pool everyday, private parking). I would highly recommend this property for families. You can have a relaxing day at the beach or pool, or go for a hike and see wildlife. Carole was a great host

    The picture presentation doesn’t do justice. It looks much better in real life. It is right on the ocean just a few steps from the porch and you will find yourself on a pathway that goes along the cliff with stunning views. Sea Ranch itself is a beautiful community very quiet and tranquil. House was nicely decorated and we had plenty of room to accommodate 4of us. Kitchen was extremely well stocked. We did cook and knifes were very sharp:) Driving from San Francisco and along the coast might be a bit of challenge if you are not familiar with it but we really enjoyed it. The view from the porch and sounds of waves were magnificent. We did have really great time!
