"This is exactly what a roadside motel should be: clean, friendly, comfortable, affordable, and easy to find. While our room was on the small side, the views just steps away from your door are spectacular."

Private Courtyard with Hot Tub... Ocean View...2 min. walk to bluff

10/10 Excellent
"Our nonprofit organization's board of directors stayed in this lovely home for our annual in-person retreat, and the four of us really enjoyed our time there. The home itself has a unique and interesting design and is situated in a very quiet neighborhood. The 3 bedrooms are lovely, with very comfortable beds, and the bathrooms are lovely as well . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, more than in some homes I have stayed in. Our host was available and responsive, which is always appreciated. Sea Ranch is such a great place, with walking trails along the beautiful ocean and recreation centers with pool, sauna, etc. This home is close to Gualala Point Regional Park and the little town of Gualala -we highly recommend the Vue restaurant. Thanks for a great stay, John!"

Epic Mendocino Ocean Views, 5BR, Tesla Charger

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic experience at this property. The ocean views are absolutely spectacular, and one of the highlights was being able to watch whales right from the deck. We could keep looking out at the ocean throughout our stay and were lucky enough to see whale activity, which made the experience truly special.The evening sunset was beautiful — sitting on the deck and watching the sun go down over the Pacific was definitely a highlight. The combination of the ocean views, sunsets, and whale watching made the location truly exceptional.Another wonderful surprise was the apple trees on the property. The kids had a great time picking fresh apples and eating them right from the trees. It was such a simple but memorable part of the experience and something the whole family enjoyed.The kids also absolutely loved their room, which was filled with games and gave them plenty to do. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with cooking equipment and appliances, with everything we needed to prepare meals comfortably.The house was spacious, comfortable, and very well set up for families. We also enjoyed the pool table and hot tub.The host was responsive and easy to communicate withThe incredible ocean views, whale watching from the deck, beautiful sunset, fresh apple picking, kids' game room, and exceptionally well-equipped kitchen made our experience very memorable. We would definitely come back for a longer stay next time."

"Very good location close to the beach and river. We were able to walk along the beach and kayak in the river, all a short drive from the property. The home had amazing views of the ocean and river as well, and was comfortable and cozy."

"My dog and I stayed for two nights in August 2026. It was an amazing trip, and the house and property are beautiful! We arrived at night and had no problem finding the property, checking in, etc. Check out was just as easy. The house had everything I needed from utensils to a coffee maker and even had a dog bed (my dog is 120lbs and fit perfect). The view is beautiful and the property is close to the town of Gualala along with a couple pet friendly beaches. Overall great experience. I highly recommend and will be coming back in the future."
