Summary:

Morning fog lifts to reveal blue Pacific horizons -- this is ocean-view living at its best. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Curl up by the fireplace as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Room for 4 in this 4-bedroom home. Just a 6-minute walk to the heated community pool. Miles of bluff-top trails and hidden beaches are yours to explore. Hear the surf from your pillow and watch the waves from your coffee spot.



The Space:

Step out onto your private deck and breathe in the crisp ocean air as you revel in the peacefulness of this Sea Ranch getaway. With room for up to four guests, this dog-friendly home will make your Northern California Coast vacation stress-free. Perched on the bluff, this home puts you just a few steps from the Bluff Trail that runs along the coastline. Just under 10 miles from golf at the Sea Ranch Links, you'll also be around 10 miles from Gualala and its handful of eateries and galleries.



Abundant light pouring in from the many ocean-facing windows in living room, welcomes you into this spacious home. Lounge on the couch as you flip through the cable channels, or watch your favorite DVD. The private washer/dryer will help you stay on top of any laundry needs you may have during your stay. Grab a bottle of wine and head out to the view-filled deck. Watch the waves roll in, and the sun set slowly past the horizon as you sip a glass of local Zinfandel. Fully equipped with everything you'll need to whip up a culinary creation, the kitchen has the pop of granite counters to add to the cooking experience. Let the dishwasher do the clean-up as you get everyone together around the large dining room for a night of games and laugh-filled stories.



When it's time to retire, this four-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom home can easily sleep up to four guests. With two soft double beds and four bunk-style twin-size beds, there will be plenty of space you for your guests to spread out. You can bring along one dog companion! This home only has 4 twins. Only bottom bunks are made up, top bunks are not accessible. When you're done, spend the rest of the day enjoying the featured local artist at the Gualala Arts Centers. If it's a Wednesday or Friday, cap the day off with a dinner at Trinks Cafe and then head back to your Sea Ranch retreat for a relaxing evening. Don't forget to enjoy the shared pools available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers.

Parking is available in the garage. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.



The Neighborhood:

Rent a kayak to explore the picturesque Gualala River. Between the coastal trails, tidepools, heated pools, and The Sea Ranch Lodge's restaurant, you could fill a week without leaving the community.



Getting Around:

Sea Ranch is located on the Sonoma Coast, approximately 2.5 hours north of San Francisco via Highway 101 to Highway 1. The closest airport is Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area. The scenic drive along Highway 1 is part of the experience.



Other Things to Note:

Heads up -- there is an active construction project on the neighboring lot. Work typically takes place on weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM, and occasionally on weekends. While it may result in some noise during those hours, evenings and most weekends remain peaceful and quiet.



Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.



Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash on trails and clean up after them.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
