    Wow! This place is awesome! Terry (host/owner) was very attentive, responsive and welcoming. The moment you walk in the door you know your in for a treat! The views are phenomenal. The beds were so comfy as well as the furnishings. The hot tub was great with the same wonderful views. Property ground were full of beautiful plants and plenty of outdoor seating. O and the message chair was a fabulous addition to relaxation. I can go on and on about this great find. We would love to stay here again sometime.

    We had a wonderful family get away at this beautiful home, perched on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean! Really wanted to give it 5 stars, as the host Terry was very responsive and super helpful, but home seemed to have a few maintenance issues (Keurig coffee maker dirty/ not working, pots/ lids mismatched, out of alum foil/ saran wrap, washing machine not working properly) that made it difficult at times. Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

    Our host was very responsive and accommodating. When we initially had an issue with the kitchen equipment, he and his on site manager went out of their way to make it right. Outside of this one issue, the amenities were all wonderful. The beds were very comfortable as well as all of the furniture. The bathroom supplies were all plentiful. The hot tub was enjoyed by some of our family. You could not ask for a better view of the coastline.

    Incredible views and convenient location just outside town. Good layout and space for both time together and privacy. Lots of flies the whole week, even with doors and windows closed. Also, a bit of clutter including fake plants and “stuff” in every drawer and cabinet. Overall we had a great stay and would consider retuning. Hosts are great.

    Beautiful house, right on the sea with sweeping views of the Pacific. You can enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the hot tub, the back yard, or right from the living room/bedrooms. The house is nicely updated with a cozy charm. The charming towns of Gualala and Sea Ranch are easily accessible from the property.

    What a beautiful home for our family getaway! The first thing you see when entering the home is The View! Wow! The view of the ocean and the coastline is amazing. We enjoyed watching at least a dozen pelicans swooping along, as well as deer in the morning. The house is clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the furnishing and decor are just right. We soaked in the hot tub as we watched the sunset and the stars coming out at night. The beach was cool and breezy while we were there, but renting kayaks from Riverbend Kayaks we discovered that the Gualala River had perfect calm weather and smooth water for kayaking - highly recommend. Also, the Pt. Arena Lighthouse is a good place to check out. Communication with the host was great. Terry sent a message after we arrived to make sure that we were happy and had everything we needed.

    What a gorgeous home! The views were magnificent and everything about the house was just perfect for a relaxing, restorative, cozy weekend at the Coast. Our communications with both Terry and Megan were warm and friendly, the house was spotless on arrival, and truly comfortable to just hang out in. If you are looking for a perfect house on the Coast, this is it.

    There were a few issues that needed to be handled upon check in. We contacted the property manager and the owner, and the items were taken care of. The house was clean. The kitchen appliances were high quality; however, the pots and pans need to be upgraded as well. We made do but would have been easier with better things. This is not out of line with other VRBO properties we have rented. It is too bad more owners don't spend the money or take stock of the kitchen equipment. That being said we had a great time, and the view was great even though we had fog every day but one. Not the owner's fault. If you are going to spend time on the coast this might be the place to rent.

    We had an amazing time we normally stay in Fort Bragg area which I have done my entire life and had never been south of Albion along the coast. This area was not nearly as busy even on the weekend which was great! The home is everything as advertised and then some! This was our first time brining pets and it was 100% accommodating they enjoyed themselves as well. We will be booking this home again later this year. We also seen lots of whales from the back porch heading north. We highly recommend!!!

    We loved staying at Castlerock. Obviously lets start with the views. You really can't turn around without seeing the ocean. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean at sunset honestly felt like the best treat you could ever have. Sitting outside in the morning, drinking coffee with the ocean was magical. The waves are constant and lull you to sleep and keep the peace. The house is well stocked, the kitchen is super user friendly and labeled nicely. Thank you for the binoculars and telescope to try to catch whales and the clearest stars. We felt at home!

    Absolutely wonderful home. If this place were a clover it would have five leaves. Everything we wanted in a NorCal coastal trip. Beautiful views, great beaches nearby, convenient local shopping, restaurants and perfect amenities at the house. The beautiful decks, ample Adirondack style chairs, and a perfectly peaceful hot tub at night looking up at a star-filled sky. There isn't really any way to get better than this unless a butler were involved. We want to go back here again and again.
