Guest Access:

The entire home is yours to enjoy -- make yourself at home from the moment you arrive. This home welcomes up to 1 dog -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.



The Neighborhood:

Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. Stock up in Gualala, just 10 minutes south, where you'll find grocery stores, restaurants, a hardware store, and gas. Bodega Bay is a beautiful drive for fresh seafood.



Getting Around:

Located 58 miles from Mendocino and nine miles from Gualala, this particular rental faces Black Point Beach, with an expanse of sea grasses between you and the bluff. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.



Other Things to Note:

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.



Up to 1 dog are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

    The views are what had us rent this house. The house has been seriously neglected for a very long time and it shows. The house needs a complete refresh; I would be ashamed to rent this house to anyone. Here is why:The left front burner on stove doesn't work (Sign says right front burner)Master bath heater is broken.Shade chain broken.There is no home manual, very limited info on how things work.Outside kitchen in carport light is burned out.Light over dining room is flickering and goes out on its own.Handle on chest of drawers in master is broken.Many window screens are torn, hence house is full of flies.Door knobs were cheap to begin with and are now failing. Outside doors don't always stay closed.The floors are badly damaged, need refinishing.Dishwasher is damaged, it leans forward all the way to the floor when you open it.I recommend: Replace the stove and dishwasher. Replace doors to outside.Replace all door knobs. Refinish floors. Refinish kitchen cabinets. New heaters in both bathrooms. Replace old bed, foam pad on top doesn't cut it.All homes require regular maintenance. The owners seem to be milking this house without spending on maintenance. It will cost them much more in the future if they keep putting it off.

    The home was comfortable and views spectacular. This is older home, I would describe as cabin retro. Comfy beds and leather swivel chairs let you sip coffee and have glass of wine with the best views. The location is the star - close to trails, walking distance to lodge lots of great wildlife. Views from every room.

    Beautiful location and views. Adequate kitchen and beds were comfortable. Home is older and a bit shabby. But they allow dogs so that may impact how much they invest. House could have been much cleaner. Stove had problem with large burner. We did not use it and it was reported and addressed by staff. Lighting needs improvement -- home very dark unless every single light was on. We moved some lamps to provide light in first bedroom which had only one desk lamp working. Bathroom in hall is small but fine. Master bath is very small and dark with low toilet. Could be charming, but it's not. AGAIN -- location and views were perfect.

    This house is an amazing and exceptional place. As an architect specializing in historic preservation, this home and its unique legacy left a big impression on me. Best I can tell, it's still owned by the same family, and is about as original as it gets. Except for a few updates (kitchen counters and appliances, bathroom tubs and fixtures, roller blinds) everything about this property is original and authentic. It really feels like stepping back in time, to a well loved family retreat that has brought joy to generations of a family. The house was comfortable, quiet, and we'll appointed. We had a fire going in the living room, and used the mini split heaters, and were comfortable the entire time we were there. Even staying up all night with our newborn.Could have asked for a better stay, and really hope that our paths cross again with this property and this family. This is a special place that we are lucky to have experienced.

    This house has the perfect sea view and easy access to coastal trails. The furnishings are a bit dated, but we didn't come for the interior, we came for the beauty of Sea Ranch.

    Fantastic ocean view from picture windows of Black Point Beach. Great walking trails atop coastal cliffs went right by the back porch. Close to the Lodge, where we charged our EV.

    This may be a little but more rustic than many of the other houses in the Sea Ranch, but we try to book it every time we go because it has a genuinely jaw-dropping view and a wall of windows to see it from. If you're in the area to see the natural beauty, there's simply no better spot from which to do it.

    Been going to The Sea Ranch for 35 years and the view of the ocean and crashing waves here is as good as it gets. House itself is very basic but the beds and furniture are all comfortable and very clean. Would stay here again for sure.

    We have been to this house many times and come back because it has such a wonderful view and location. Yes the house is dated and doesn't have all the amenities as many other Sea Ranch houses do, but as long as it's clean and things work, we are happy to return. It appears to be managed better than in the past for which we are grateful. Hopefully before too long new beds will be purchased!

    Together we enjoyed the beauty of nature Sitting cozily in the comfort of your home We laughed, ate and made many memories To mark the birth of our beloved We were in awe of the landscape It's appearance was mesmerizing Many pictures and videos later We still can't settle which angle is best The fire place's central location Allowed us to feel the warmth That this home offers generously The music on the stereo spoke my soul There was space for contemplation Reclining chairs offer so much comfort I'm leaving inspired and connected Our mind and stomachs feel so full

    Sure, this home is a bit dated, but we enjoyed the history of this home, it seems like one of the original Sea Ranch homes, built to be a part of the natural surroundings vs standing out. Very cozy, easy layout, the place is built to enjoy the views and nature, the kitchen is easy to use, and it was the perfect size for us and our dog. Loved being by Black Pt Cove, and the north/south walking trails.
