Stunning Skydeck. Hot Tub. Walk to 2 Beaches, Rec Center, Bluff Trail and Lodge.
Come enjoy broad blue and white water views, the sound of crashing waves, winter sunsets, and starry nights from a very unique sky deck. Cozy and comfortable beach cottage in the desirable south end of The Sea Ranch. Two master bedrooms, each with king beds and ensuite bathrooms, large living and dining room, wood burning fireplace, updated kitchen and bathrooms, wine cooler, flat screen TV's in bedrooms and living room, and paid subscription streaming services including Netflix, Amazon prime video, Sling (orange and blue), and Paramount+. Reliable and fast high speed wireless access (100 mps, provided by Sea Ranch Connect) and Bluetooth ready surround sound system!!
Private hot tub and garden, multiple decks with nearly a dozen Adirondack chairs and a table and chairs for 4, outdoor gas barbeque, and beautiful views of a meadow, mountains, and sea are included. A stone’s throw from the Bluff Trail and the ocean and a short walk to Pebble and Black Point Beaches, Moonraker Recreation Center, and the Sea Ranch Lodge. Located near the end of a very quiet, dead-end street and far from the traffic noises of Highway 1. A short 5 minute drive to Two Fish Bakery in Stewarts Point.
Deal directly with the property owner - not a faceless rental agency. No need to drive to Gualala to pick up or drop off keys. Perfect for a one or two couple get away.
The Sea Ranch is internationally known and revered for its attempt to blend man-made structures with their natural setting. This most picturesque area of California, 100 miles north of San Francisco dotted with distinctive homes, spreads for about ten miles on either side of Highway One in the coastal Sonoma County. The building design is unique in its architecture, and the challenge to 'live lightly on the land' is on-going.
With three swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts, an 18-hole championship golf course, and 50 miles of hiking trails that meander along the coastal cliffs, through meadows and forests, there is no shortage of outdoor activity for your Sea Ranch vacation. And after a hard day of having fun, soak in the spa, have a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset over the ocean.
A maximum of two small-to-medium dogs allowed. A pet fee of $50 is required. Operation of this house is regulated by Sonoma County. Mandated performance standards are summarized below. Failure to meet these performance standards could result in a $1500 fine. Fines imposed by Sonoma County will be deducted from funds held as a security deposit.
• Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at all times. • Guests should avoid activities during quiet hours (i.e., between 9 PM AND 7 AM) that disturb neighbors such as parties, slamming car doors, extended conversations outside, gatherings on decks or in hot tubs, etc. • Outdoor burning of solid fuels is prohibited, including fire pits. • If a Voluntary Evacuation Order is issued, guests must leave the property immediately and exit the evacuation zone. • Possession or discharge of fireworks is strictly prohibited. • Dogs must be on a leash when not in the home or car. Continual nuisance barking by unattended pets is prohibited.
Children under the age of 6 are not allowed in the spa. The spa cover must be replaced when spa is not in use.

Great Property. Everything is very organized and labeled so it makes it easy to navigate the rental. The outdoor space is lovely. The sky deck is a great place to have coffee in the morning. Water views from each bedroom. The living room has a wall of windows so you can watch the deer. Keith was very thoughtful about pets and has towels by the back door if their paws get wet. Great location would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Keith the host was great and helped me with my user error on operating the electronic keypad front door lock. He even texted later during our stay to make sure everything was OK. It was! We found the house kitchen to be unusually well-equipped for a vacation rental and clear directions were posted at the point of use for devices/appliances, and a helpful notebook of tips, instructions, etc. was also provided. Loved the roof deck. We brought old towels and sheets to dry dog and prevent tracking in sand, but a stack of old towels and sheets also was supplied for guests with pet who may not have thought to bring their own.

We had a wonderful stay at this Sea Ranch home. Although the weather during our visit was quite rainy, the house itself was incredibly cozy and comfortable, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time indoors. The kitchen was very well equipped, the living room was inviting with a great fireplace, and the hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after a day of coastal weather.When the skies cleared, we were able to fully appreciate the property’s outdoor spaces. The roof deck is fantastic — with beautiful ocean views — and the home’s location provided easy access to the miles of well-maintained Sea Ranch trails. We loved being able to walk along the bluff and take in the scenery.Communication with the owner was excellent. During a storm-related power outage, they reached out proactively to let us know what was happening and provided helpful guidance so we could remain comfortable until power was restored. That level of care was much appreciated.Overall, this home is thoughtfully appointed and well cared for, with everything needed for a comfortable and restorative stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily return. We love Sea Ranch, and this home was a wonderful place to experience it.

This is a lovely home in a fantastic setting. The house inside and out was very clean, well equipped, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to beaches and walking trails, but if you never left, you’d still feel the effects of being in the middle of an unusually beautiful natural environment. From inside, we saw deer, a fox, jackrabbits and multiple varieties of birds through one of the many well placed windows.

For anyone who has stayed at Sea Ranch over the years, they know how in earlier times owners who rented their homes treated their guests like, well guests. Well appointed kitches with fresh spices & all the right stuff, super clean and organized and welcoming. This was that kind of place. There were even robes in the closet. Wonderful.

Wonderful house and location!!
We stayed at the house this past weekend and could not have been more pleased with the property! The house was exactly what we had expected and the location was amazing! The kitchen was complete with everything needed and we cooked all our meals there during our stay. The bed was very comfortable, which is hard to find at so many places! We enjoyed having the wide choice of streaming services available and we enjoyed using the hot tub multiple times during our stay! We will plan to stay here again on return trips to the Coast!

Great deck
The location is a ten minute walk to the coast trail which was great. The outside deck area was wonderful and we spent every afternoon here. The updated kitchen worked well. Everything was labeled and detailed instructions were everywhere. The house does need a deep cleaning as everything was very dusty and we had reactions to it.
