INSIDE THE OPEN PLAN

The sun-filled living area pairs distant ocean views with golf-course green — a flatscreen, dishwasher kitchen, and deck hot tub bracket days that split between Del Mar pool laps and Gualala Point wave watching. HBO, DVD, and Blu-ray options cover foggy-night entertainment after Bluff Trail walks with the dogs.



GUALALA POINT ORBIT

Gualala Point Regional Park and Bluff Trail access are minutes down the road — harbor seals on the shelves below, gray whales in season, and Del Mar Recreation Center's pool and sauna when you want a swim. The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant sits eight minutes by car; Gualala groceries 10 minutes north. Pickleball and tennis courts at Del Mar round out active days without leaving the north end of The Sea Ranch.

The Neighborhood:

Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (2-minute drive), Shell Beach tidepools (8-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (8-minute drive). Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. For provisions, Gualala (10 minutes north) has grocery stores, restaurants, and a gas station. Jenner and Bodega Bay are scenic drives south.



Getting Around:

Sea Ranch is about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco -- take Highway 101 to Highway 1 for one of California's most scenic coastal drives. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, roughly 90 minutes east. A car is the way to go for exploring the area.



Other Things to Note:

Wake up each morning to read the newspaper and prepare freshly ground coffee and homemade waffles in the kitchen (with a dishwasher), and gather around the dining table to admire the views and use the free WiFi to post photos of the morning's sunrise. Keep an eye open for harbor seals as you walk your dogs on the Bluff Trail (Good to know: a two-dog maximum applies), and come home to soak in the private hot tub, toss your bathing suits in the washer/dryer, and gather in the living room for a night of cable, HBO, DVD, and Blu-ray favorites on the flatscreen TV.



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.
