Abalone Point: Oceanside Panoramic View Home
Our home is a perfect rental for two families or 3-4 couples. We have completed a 360 sq. ft. loft addition in late December 2016. The house AND casita sleep MAXIMUM of 8. (Children are included in the maximum of 8 and absolutely no exceptions.) Our home is very well maintained (one of number one reasons people appreciate our home) and tastefully decorated with a Sea Ranch/Pottery Barn look. The kitchen was torn out and completely changed to a gourmet kitchen in fall of 2023. . Four decks to enjoy panoramic amazing ocean and garden views. Easy walk to Shell Beach and privately located at the end of the cul-de-sac. Located on .5 acre with empty .5 acre lots on either side. Holidays (President Weekend, Easter weeks, Memorial and Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, are high season.
Three gas fireplaces, 2 large HD television with DVR, hot tub, free wireless internet service included. Wireless will allow streaming (Netflex, etc). Main House: 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 queen sofa bed (top of the line American Leather brand) in loft, Casita (a second detached master suite): 1 Queen. There is an openness to this home not only inside with its many windows but outside too. The home is bi-level with 3 steps to kitchen and bathrooms. Unique to our house is the large open mowed space surrounding the house which has allowed for many a whiffle ball game, soccer, bocce, frisbee or kite flying. Bring your bicycles to enjoy either mountain biking on the trails or biking Leeward Road for a 8 mile roundtrip from our house on a road with little elevation change. TRANSIENT OCCUPANY TAX CERTIFICATE: 1086N QUIET HOURS: 10p.m. to 7 a.m. 2 Car Passes given. May have additional car in driveway without permit. We designed the detached 'Casita' for a unique suite with its own deck, gas fireplace, and spectacular views. Family & guests cannot decide which master suite they like best at the house. Our decks give you lots of options for sun or shade & protection from wind. The solar effect on the vast front windows keep the house toasty warm on cold days.
Our home provides linens with the beds made so that you can enjoy your visit from the moment you walk in the door. You will find kitchen & 8 bath towels too. Through our years of renting, we discovered many homes lacked kitchen amenities. We enjoy cooking & decided to outfit the kitchen with good kitchen dishes, sharp knives, All-Clad style pots and pans, lots of spices and seasonings for the gourmet chef. Views from the kitchen windows will make you want to cook. The couch and window seats will draw you for a nap, reading a book, or watching the wildlife. Deer love to graze around the house . Don't be surprised to see hawks, turkeys, or a fox walk by. You can take a walk or bike ride to Shell or Tidepool Beach. The seals are always there, taking their naps or watching you as you explore the beach. Another favorite spot in the house is the game table (downstairs & upstairs) with views as you do a jigsaw puzzle or play one of the many games provided.
One-Eyed Jack playground is a short distance away and our grandchildren love exploring the cypress hedgerow next to the playground.We are sure you will enjoy your stay and love the peacefulness & beauty of The Sea Ranch.

Abalone Point is a wonderful home for an extended family reunion. My large family, consisting of four siblings and our spouses, spent three nights here. We loved the spacious layout and great kitchen facilities. The beautifully decorated home features multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for spending time together, while allowing for separation when a bit of space apart is needed. The fourth bedroom in the Casita was great for the late-to-bed, late-to-rise couple. There are good local dining spots if you're not in Sea Ranch to cook, but we made good use of the excellent kitchen facilities every night. The Wi-Fi worked well and consistently throughout our stay. Although we took one side adventure to Fort Ross, we spent most of this trip walking the bluffs, hanging out on Shell Beach and at Gualala Point, playing games, and simply enjoying each other's company at the beautiful home. I personally loved the handmade octopi in the bedrooms. More adventurous travelers can explore the northern coast, kayak on the river, or head into the wine country. If you love Sea Ranch and want to share it with family and friends, Abalone Point is a great place to stay.

This house was a magnificent place for our family to stay for the Christmas holidays! It was spacious, warm and dry, and offered an especially well-stocked kitchen. With the casita, we all had plenty of space to spread out, and with the coastal and up-in-the-hills walks, plenty of space to roam. Access to the rec centers, with their pools and saunas, was also welcome. Brava!

Weekend at Abalone Point
We had a wonderful stay at Abalone Point. The house was well located with a view of the ocean and had everything we needed for a family get-away. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed walking the Bluff Trail each day. The owners really care for their home and it shows in the way it is maintained. We look forward to staying there again.

A World Away
Abalone Point offers a wonderful respite from urban hustle and bustle. We stayed as a family of four (kids 6 and 3) and the house was perfect for our needs. The location is perfect - 10 to 15 min walk to the perfect beach for tide pools (or 3 min drive, with easy parking), 10 min drive to Gualala for groceries, 10 min drive to "The Hot Spot", 10 min drive to Sea Ranch Lodge and 2Fish bakery. The house was very clean, cozy, and well-suited to cooking or lounging (huge sofa, games, puzzles, multiple TVs and good wifi). We loved watching the local deer by day and stargazing from the hot tub by night. We would love to return!!!

What a lovely place to vacation!
We had a large family group and rented several Sea Ranch houses for a long weekend. It was lovely! The house was immaculate with beautiful views everywhere we looked. The host's instructions were clear for both check in and check out. We had no problems finding it. The host was very responsive whenever I had a question. The wildlife was breathtaking. The stars at night were spectacular. The host even provided great suggestions for things to do on the area. I would stay here again!

Peaceful retreat
We loved our time at Abalone Point. The home is on a cul-de-sac with a spectacular view. It is a short walk from the gorgeous Shell Beach. There is a large yard in the front, which is perfect for outdoor games. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. It is spacious, well-equipped, and nicely organized. There was a great selection of spices and vinegar on hand! We appreciated the multiple patio areas to lounge and enjoy the view. The hot tub is lovely as well. The house includes fun, creative touches such as beautiful collections of shells throughout the house. We look forward to our next visit!

What an enjoyable, relaxing family vacation! The days were spent exploring the great outdoors, from nature trails through the towering redwoods to the many coves along the coast.

Relaxing Retreat
I celebrated my office manager's birthday with another coworker up at this property in Sea Ranch. It was such a beautiful and relaxing property that we never left except to enjoy dinner the first night of our arrival. Everything was labeled in the kitchen to make it easy to find what we were looking for. It was so quiet and a truly wonderful escape from the daily grind. Can't wait to come back again next year and do it all over again! 😁
