Summary:

Nothing between you and the Pacific but fresh salt air and the sound of the surf. End the day in your private hot tub with the ocean as your soundtrack. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Room for 4 in this 3-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. Architecture, nature, and the Pacific -- Sea Ranch has it all. Step outside and the Pacific stretches before you -- this is the Sonoma Coast at its most dramatic.



The Space:

Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of ocean waves when you escape to this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a dog-friendly property with a private hot tub, an expansive ocean-facing deck, and a striking waterfront location. Gorgeously situated to face the Pacific Ocean and the wondrous rugged cliffs of The Sea Ranch, this home is just steps from the Bluff Trail and one mile north of Black Point and the Sea Ranch Lodge.



With paneled walls, hardwood floors, and soft leather furnishings, the living room is full of rustic atmosphere and plush comfort. Watch the morning fog blanket the ocean, or use the telescope to search for passing grey whales, harbor seals, and dolphins. The panoramic ocean views continue in the full kitchen, which features a large refrigerator, plentiful counterspace, and a dishwasher to take care of the clean-up. Sip your morning coffee by the window at the kitchen table, or share pancakes and bacon with your loved ones around the dining room table for six. But nowhere are the views more magnificent than on the large ocean-facing deck, where guests can relax in Adirondack chairs, use the gas grill to prepare al fresco meals, and soak their sore hiking legs in the luxurious private hot tub.



As one of the most understated and stretches of the Northern California Coast, Sea Ranch is a place to escape into nature. Walk among the local black-tailed deer as you hike the Bluff Trail, or play 18 scenic holes amid the cypress and pines at the Sea Ranch Golf Links.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Choose from 3 bedrooms. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 4.

Guest Access:

From the kitchen to the deck, everything in this home is at your disposal. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. This home welcomes up to 1 dog -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Parking is available in the garage. 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. Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.



Getting Around:

It's also only eight miles south of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, nine miles from the shops and restaurants of Gualala, and 28 miles from the Point Arena Lighthouse and Museum. This home is also just 58 miles south of Mendocino - the perfect day trip for those in search of a majestic coastal drive along California Highway 1. 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:

The wood stove is not a listed amenity of this home.

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.



December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.



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.

    This was a good stay in many ways . The property however has a lot of deferred maintenance and the garage was especially dirty and not cleaned. It is good the owners have upgraded the kitchen and the bathrooms but there is a lot of old items and “junk” in the house that is very old and unnecessary. I would also suggest a deep clean to make your guests feel better. The expense is in line with a 4 star hotel and frankly the property as a whole does not meet those standards, so it feels over-priced. The setting and location is good but I would not return for the aforementioned reasons. I can send photos. I also would say that I do not believe Vacasa inspected this property. Would also appreciate getting less notices and messages from you. Check out time should be 11am as 10 is too early. PS it seemed the door was open( unlocked)!when we arrived and we left it that way.

    What a magical house! We’ve stayed all throughout Sea Ranch and you can’t beat this location nor the house itself. It’s well-maintained, spacious and comfortable (plus, pet friendly!).

    Best vacation rental ever. Will only book this place going forward when we visit Sea Ranch. Super clean, great location and the views are amazing. It's pet-friendly but you wouldn't think it was because it's so clean! Hot tub is fantastic, no issues with TV or wifi. Kitchen is stocked really well with all modern appliances, dishes, cookware, you name it.There are three deers that visit! You can also hear the ocean waves from the property when you sit in the hot tub.Truly an amazing property, worth the money.

    Overall I think this rental is good for a small family but could use some updating here and there. The main thing I believe prospective renters should know is that Vacasa asks that you drive 20-ish minutes (one way) from the house to pick up a parking pass within 24 hrs of arrival. That wouldn't be a big deal if we were staying for a while, but since we were there for just one day, I risked it and did not pick it up. I feel for what we paid, that pass should have been at the house. Not sure why that isn't the case already. The pros of the house: Pretty cool Sea Ranch architecture, great location that’s close to the lodge, ocean and trail, 2 nice new bathrooms , nice new large kitchen, a lovely view, and outdoor space for gathering. The oks of the house: The hot tub was large but kind of dated and had weak jets. Even though there are 3 bedrooms, just know that only one is large with a view and the others are small and uninspired. And I would say that even though the size and view from the large bedroom is great, it really could use some updating/freshening up. Some of the artwork was covered in cobwebs just adding to an overall “just good, not great” feeling. All in all, I'm not sure it's worth the price for a couple but we did see a bobcat on the porch, so maybe it is! :)

    Lovely, spacious, well appointed home with stunning views of the Pacific and its coastline, with breathtaking sunsets. We’ve been coming to Sea Ranch for more than 25 years and this is one of the nicest homes we in which we have stayed.

    House was much closer to beach than the pictures showed. A lot of friendly people walked by on the trail within 100 ft. of your porch. Views were unobstructed and magnificent.

    There are no words to describe the amazing view right out the front windows . Great beaches are within walking distance. Surfing in the waves right out in front of the house. I found everything to be very clean and tidy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal and make your stay comfortable The primary bedroom was large with the same amazing view as the front room . Bed was very comfortable. My son and his lady friend stayed in a guest room with a partial ocean view and were very satisfied. There is a work space for those who may need to do a little We will definitely rebook this vacation rental again soon.

    Our family has come to Sea Ranch for over two decades now, renting a dozen different houses and always loving the experience. The last few times, we've stayed at this place on Bowsprit close. We love this house. It is absolutely perfect! Right on the bluff top and on the trail by the water front. No noise, except for the gentle giant The Pacific and its deep and powerful breathing. We love the house location, and a big highlight for us is that there is an enclosed garden where we can let the dog run around and sniff everything! Whenever we come there, she recognizes the place and becomes exuberant with joy (just like us)! We are so grateful to the owners for making their lovely house available!

    We spent a girls weekend at this property and overall had a really great time. We would come back for the view alone as we spent 90% of our time here on the deck. The check in process is cumbersome. We didn’t know till the day before we had to drive to the property management office to pick up a “welcome packet” which in reality was a parking pass you hang in your window. This seems like an unnecessary step for the renter to do. This “packet” could have easily been left at the property by the property manager when they come before we arrived to do things like turn on the hot tub. They also didn’t tell us we were able to check in early till 12pm, but we weren’t planning on leaving till 12 anyways because it’s a long drive. If we had known early we would have taken advantage of the extra time. But that’s minor. The property itself is nice, and very well stocked. My only complaint is the house definitely needs some updating. Paint is peeling, the flooring is missing around the second toilet, and there’s mold in random places (it’s right on the water so it’s constantly damp, so I’m sure mold is a constant issue). I also wish they would wash the windows that face the water before each stay. All of that being said, we had a great time. You absolutely cannot beat the view, and although the house needs some updating, it was comfortable and worked perfectly for our stay. We would stay here again!

    This home has to rank as one of our favorites in Sea Ranch. It had a great location - right on the bluff and more or less equidistant between Black Point Beach and Pebble Beach. It has expansive windows both in the living room and the master suite that give great views of the ocean and the sunset. The kitchen was relatively well appointed (except coffee filters!) and the beds were quite comfortable relative to other Sea Ranch homes we have rented. The small suggestions for improvement we had were (1) the furniture needed vacuuming. The living room couches had dog hair and crumbs on them when we arrived and made me allergic in the evenings; (2) the trees around the home - especially the tree that looms over the hot tub - needed some pruning. The hot tub was a bit of a disappointment because of this tree as you couldn't see much of the sky because the tree has grown out over the hot tub, which was not clear from the images; (3) the windows (with those incredible views) needed cleaning when we arrived. We were initially just bummed about it but then discovered a hose on the deck in front of the windows. One quick rinse of the windows and the views returned and were spectacular for the duration. All in alll a great stay that we would definitely want to return to in future. Thank you!
