The Sea Ranch, California
Renowned architect Elee Tsai designed this stunning home – just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge -- to be a reflection of our soul’s connection with heaven and earth. Uniquely situated on one of the Pacific coast’s most spectacular bluffs, Vista Del Mar (“View of the Sea”) boasts broad, unobstructed white and blue water ocean views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and all three bedrooms. Absorb the powerful force of the waves against the black rocks…feel (and smell) the ocean breeze on your face…this is The Sea Ranch at its absolute best.
Recently remodeled, Vista Del Mar features an elegant open floor plan with soaring exposed-beam ceilings and warm wood detailing throughout. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, it’s a short 10-minute walk to the Ohlson Recreation Center and beach where you can swim, play tennis and enjoy a relaxing sauna.
Musicians love taking in our glorious seaside sunset view while playing the Steinway Baby Grand piano – and everyone enjoys the comfy window seats, cozy fireplace and wood-burning stove. Movie fans can curl up in front of the large flat-screen TV (with DirectTV satellite) enhanced by the dramatic surround sound experience of our Bose Acoustimass entertainment center. And those that can’t entirely escape the outside world will appreciate the free nationwide phone service.
The chef(s) in your group will flip over the large, well-equipped gourmet kitchen with its exquisite Honduran Mahogany cabinetry. Grill masters and BBQ mavens always appreciate our high-quality, outdoor grill (with direct propane connection). Overlooking the crashing ocean waves, the spacious 1600 sq. foot deck gives everyone plenty of space to relax and unwind in our classic Adirondack chairs. If you visit in spring or late fall, keep your eyes peeled for seasonal migrating whales. After dinner, why not gaze at the moon in the star-filled sky while enjoying a relaxing soak in our new 50-jet spa tub (which can be closed off for complete privacy).
With its spacious 2800 square feet, Vista Del Mar’s three bedrooms and loft offer comfortable sleeping for eight adults. The home’s warm, welcoming ambiance – complemented by tasteful furnishings – creates the perfect escape for relaxation and enjoyment of nature’s beauty. We also provide fresh bed linens and towels free of charge. Our home is professionally cleaned between guests and our enhanced cleaning and sanitizing processes adhere to all current CDC guidelines.
Please be aware that because Vista Del Mar is located so close to the bluffs (and features natural redwood paneling easily damaged by curious little hands), you must personally inquire about bringing children under age 10.

4 couples vacationed here together in early November. We loved the house. The four bedrooms were all very comfortable. Even the loft was spacious, had plenty of privacy, and had an ocean view. We chose this house to rent because of its location (close to the ocean) and we are so glad we did. Ocean view from almost every room. We cooked all meals in - the kitchen was very well equipped - nothing we needed was not there. The walking paths are wonderful. We did a lot of exploring and hiking. We spotted wild mushrooms everywhere - a mushroom forager's paradise. We used the main pool at the Ohlson Recreation Center. It was fantastic. Huge, heated, and empty. We had it all to ourselves. And there's a wonderful redwood sauna. Our favorite thing about John's house was the hot tub. It has sliding walls for privacy, which you can open to see the ocean (and deer passing by). At night, we'd all sit in the hot tub and marvel at the night sky and count the shooting stars we saw, and breathe in that delicious ocean air. We had a wonderful stay and definitely hope to return to Seascape and rent John's house again. And if you're into hiking: a must-do hike is the Russian Gulch Waterfall Loop trail - spectacular. It's just past Mendocino. After the hike, stop in Mendocino for lunch or early dinner.
Beautiful, well appointed home. Great views of the ocean and easy access to trails. Owner was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommended!!!
What a gem this lovely home is… Set right on the bluffs, the serene setting and zen decor of this beautiful house set the mood for a very special family gathering…. The views from the house were so beautiful that we had to force ourselves to get out and further explore the area, which kept surprising with magnificent vistas, beaches, and groves of wind-blown trees. This was a perfect spot to reconnect with family and nature… Loved it!
We had a brief stay with friends but quickly felt relaxed and at home in this beautiful original Sea Ranch home. Best hot tub and view I have ever enjoyed. Foozball in the garage was a plus for teens
My friends and I visit Sea Ranch annually and sure enjoyed our stay this year in this beautiful home. Just loved the ocean views from each room and all that Sea Ranch had to offer.
Our family including kids (2 & 5), and grandparents, had a wonderful weekend stay at Sea Ranch. John was so incredibly helpful at the time of booking and all the way through the end of our stay. We enjoyed our daily walks around Sea Ranch - including one of the playgrounds on-site (near a Seal preserve!). We enjoyed an afternoon swim on one of the days at the Moonraker pool. We also enjoyed all of the meals we cooked in the kitchen - we brought up many groceries but enjoyed filling in the gaps at The Surf store in Gualala. We hope to be back again soon!
I loved my stay and can't wait to come back. The house is well-maintained, perfectly outfitted, and extremely comfortable. It's obvious that John and his family love the home and take great care of it. The deck is perfect for soaking up the sun. And then there's the location -- privacy, amazing ocean views, soothing ocean sounds, and frequent deer visits. Just sublime.
Beautiful original Sea Ranch house. Well equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed the view from the spacious deck. Would definitely return to this house.
Vista Del Mar is a magical place where one can experience living on the ocean’s edge. Sea breezes, ocean waves, and salty air set the mood. Chasing waves, building sand castles, collecting small treasures are only part of the experience. Walking the bluffs or hiking the forest trails do not disappoint. The house is perfect. The kitchen equipment is excellent, the window seats and beds are comfy. The entire experience is not to be missed!
The location is incredible, literally right at the water. It’s layout was perfect and big enough for everyone to enjoy. One of the best part of this home was the kitchen was fully stocked with every kitchen equipment/utensil imaginable. We loved staying here and would love to come back.
