Sunny Home. Hot Tub. Walk to 2 Beaches, Rec Center, Bluff Trail and the Lodge.

Cozy and comfortable beach cottage in the desirable south end of Sea Ranch. Two master bedrooms, each with king beds and ensuite bathrooms, large living and dining rooms with wood burning fireplace, gourmet kitchen, outdoor gas barbeque, vaulted wood ceilings, warm and sunny decks and beautiful views of a meadow, mountains, and sea. A stone’s throw from the Bluff Trail and the ocean and a short walk to Pebble and Black Point Beaches and the Sea Ranch Lodge. Located near the end of a quite, dead-end street, far from the highway. Recently enhanced with skylights, new hot tub and deck, wine cooler, appliances, carpet, furniture, granite countertops, updated bathrooms, flat screen TV's in bedrooms and living room, paid subscription streaming services including Netflix, Amazon prime video, Sling (orange and blue), and Paramount+, custom decorator touches and lots more. Reliable and fast high speed wireless access (100 mps, provided by Sea Ranch Connect) and Bluetooth ready surround sound system!!

The most total reviews, the most 5 star reviews of ANY house in Sea Ranch listed on VRBO. 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, a 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.

Stayed here before and loved it, bringing our dogs. Location is great, just a short walk to the beach. This time the host arranged terrific weather! Thank you. The house itself is very well equipped and maintained. The host has thought of everything---even has an "emergence backup coffee maker."

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.

Wonderful Opportunity

We enjoyed our stay in this very likable home. It is as advertised-set in a gorgeous coastal area. Sea Ranch has a unique vibe with nature truly at your doorstep. We hiked along the bluff trail, watched a high surf crash on the rocks and were greeted by browsing deer each morning. Excellent dining nearby. We will return.
