Birthday and anniversary trip

Beautiful property with expansive, excellent views. The home is very well laid out with plenty of room for all of us. The furnishings are both comfortable and modern. The patio and hot tub area is very nicely landscaped and immaculate. Our little beagle Daisy also enjoyed the views and walks. It was perfect even with some rain.

Beyond Wonderful

Abalone Bay was the most wonderful home I've stayed in - the ocean views, the proximity to the bluff trail, the gorgeous interior and setup, and Donna's proactive communication were all well beyond expectations. I can't recommend this home enough and hope to return in the very near future. We are so grateful Donna shared her home with us!

perfect ocean stay

The house is immaculate, stocked with everything you could possibly need, overlooking the ocean. Completely stocked kitchen with fancy gadgets, hot hot tub, comfortable furniture/beds, fabulous master shower. Steps from a bluff side trail that goes for miles and miles of scenic coastline. Stay and I'm sure you'll be back, as will we!

Gorgeous Views!

What a comfortable home! Everything one needs to feel at home. Extremely well equipped and easy. Great location near seal hangout and we were visited by fox and deer. Walk right out to the bluff trail. Husband and his brother loved the ping pong table on rainy days.

Wonderful property, wonderful hosts

This house is beautiful, the property is as well. Right on the coast, exactly as pictured. It’s about a 40-60 minute lovely walk to the lodge for coffee and snacks- the trail along the water at Sea Ranch is one of the best parts! Donna, the host, was extremely responsive and has been wonderful - we left something important at the house and she helped locate it and get it back to us. Will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful Sea Ranch property

Our four-night stay was a superb, relaxing getaway at a five-star property. Everything was top-of-the-line, from bedding and furniture to appliances and audio-visual equipment. We even played some ping-pong! Donna was wonderfully communicative and accommodating, and the downloadable guide book was detailed to a fault, yet easy to search. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Perfect

This home could not have been better - the views, location, the interior, the setup, the communication - all perfect. It had everything we needed and more, was incredibly well-stocked, and the location on the bluff with its views and proximity to the trail could not have been better. Donna is the best communicator I've ever worked with as well!

Terrific Visit to Sea Ranch

Abalone is next level for a wonderful stay at Sea Ranch. Donna goes over and beyond to communicate and make the home feel so special. This is no ordinary rental- it’s in beautiful condition and the location is one of the best. The kitchen is well stocked from a crock pot to a waffle iron and the jacuzzi is in a perfect location to soak in all the stars. We will absolutely stay here again and are so grateful Donna has made this beautiful home available to others!

First class relaxation!

This is our second stay at Abalone Bay and the first since the renovations. The home was amazing before but it is now even more gorgeous and the views--spectacular! The home is stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal, books to read, games to play, etc. The hot tub was so relaxing and the home is located right on the bluff for easy access to enjoy walks and the sunset. The host, Donna, is available for any questions and truly cares that you have a wonderful experience. We can't wait to return more more comfort, relaxation, and incredible views.

Another fun stay at Abalone Bay

Abalone Bay has become our favorite place to stay in Sea Ranch. To start with, it allows dogs and has a fenced in area for them to play. Our dog loves coming back. Beyond being a great place for dog lovers, it is located right on the bluff trail, has great views of the ocean for whale watching, and has a very well equipped kitchen with just about anything you need while staying there. Donna, the owner, provides a professionally done guide book that suggests where to eat, hike, fish, go for entertainment, and answers questions regarding operating anything in the house. One of the most important things to us is that although it allows dogs, the home is very clean with no dog smells.

Perfect for our intergenerational family with adult children and dog- gorgeous view and location

Abalone Bay was perfect for our family of 6 including our young adult children and our dog. We've been to Sea Ranch many times and this house was by far the best, for many reasons: location and view, light, and setup for a family and couples. The view from the living room was amazing- a cypress tree and the ocean with sufficient privacy from those walking by the ocean. The enclosed courtyard was perfect for our dog to go outside safely. We spent our time on the trails and playing games in the living room. Very tastefully decorated too. Donna is very helpful and responsive. I am mobility impaired and while the house is not formally ADA, it met my needs well as someone who uses a walker and wheelchair and has help- ask if you need more details. All in all, a wonderful, peaceful time and we would love to return.

A perfect place to enjoy the beauty of The Sea Ranch

It's hard to say what I love and loved about Abalone Bay. It is pretty much everything. I believe this was our 6th visit. Does that say anything? The home is well taken care of and lovely. The view is stunning and relaxing. Our weather was a changing Fall pattern: rain, sun and a windy day. We love it!!!! Try to leave time for lunch at the Lodge at Sea Ranch and enjoy the view there as well as the tomato soup and grilled cheese!

Christmas time at Sea Ranch

We decided to take a pre-Christmas vacation at Sea Ranch the third week of December. Upon arrival at Abalone Bay, my wife and I were very pleasantly surprised when we walked in and found the home fully decked out for Christmas including the tree, decorations, candles and even the place settings. The owners go out of their way to make the property feel like a home instead of a vacation rental…and it works! The location of Abalone Bay is special but the property is managed better than any other Sea Ranch property that we have stayed at. As a bonus, we had a day that was 75 degrees (in December!) and sunny with moderate winds providing for a perfect day for a long walk on the bluff with our dog, Bear.

Another relaxing stay at Abalone Bay

We have become a regular at Abalone Bay because it ticks all of the boxes. Being located on the ocean bluff is perfect for taking walks on the Sea Ranch trail and for viewing the sun disappearing into the ocean. Our dog loves it here because of the unique sights, sounds, and smells along the trail. The house is fully equipped having everything necessary for making a multi course dinner or just mixing a cocktail. Surf Market in Gualala has most of what you need for either. Our favorite places for breakfast are Trink’s Cafe in Gualala and Twofish Bakery in Stewart’s Point. Donna, the owner/property manager provides a guidebook that has everything you need to know about staying at Sea Ranch.

Abalone Bay is the single best place for us at Sea Ranch, and we've sampled many!

There is nothing that Donna hasn't thought of AND provided at Abalone Bay. Staying here for the weekend with our family and our dogs was as comfortable as it would be if this were our own vacation home. Not kidding, the kitchen is better equipped than our kitchen at home; the decor is perfect for Sea Ranch, the location is beautiful, and every thing we needed for our weekend was here for us when we arrived. We have stayed at more than a few places in Sea Ranch, and this is the one we will use exclusively from now on. Really, really nice. And Donna was gracious and available for anything we needed (nothing!), and her instructions and online guide for Abalone Bay are complete and extremely useful. Overall grade: A
