Ocean & River View EVC Hot & Cold Tubs Outdoor Shower Walk to Town Dog Friendly
About this house rental
Nestled in Gualala, this charming house for $777 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Spacious oceanfront property with view of the Gualala River meeting the sea, this home has been delighting people for decades. It s toward the end of a culdesac hidden from the street, secluded yet only 3 to 5 mins walking distance to Downtown Gualala that has Surf Market (organic options), Gualala Supermarket, Trinks Cafe, etc. The location is private and extremely convenient. Well behaved dogs are welcome ($40 per night 2 dogs max). Cedar Chlorine and Bromine Free Hot and Cold Tubs with an outdoor shower. *NOTE: The maximum number of guests allowed at all times on the property is 15. 15 guests include the number of children as some groups might find 15 adults way too cramped. That is really subjective to the comfort level of each group. We try to as transparent as possible to the layout of the house with lots of pictures to give a sense of the capacity of the property, but can not predict how comfortable each group would be with their quantity of guests. **CLEANING: All common surfaces are cleaned and then disinfected with an all natural hospital grade food safe Virucide called Benefect Decon 30. There are extra spray bottles under each sink for use for optional additional disinfection. We also have put 99.9% copper tape on most of the door handles (copper starts killing viruses within 10 mins to 4 hours). We have asked housekeeping to change used linens The property is over half an acre and completely fenced - offering plenty of space for kids and dogs to play! The fence is 5 to 6 feet tall and should work for most dogs except for determined escape artists. A wrap around deck offers views of the Gualala River, Pacific Ocean, and California coast. Cedar wood hot and cold tubs for hydrotherapy on the deck - on a clear night the stars and Milky Way are on full display. Start with the hot and then the cold - alternate back and forth to feel like a million bucks. The deck has two picnic tables and a gas grill. A tree platform in the backyard provides unobstructed views of the river and the ocean - a great spot to read and nap in the hammocks. There are three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs. The downstairs master bedroom has a heated drying rack with a heated Toto Electronic Bidet. The other downstairs bathroom has a classic claw foot soaking tub with a heated Smart Bidet. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are downstairs. The upstairs has two bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own wrap around porch with magnificent ocean and river views with a Jack and Jill bathroom. The other guest room has a twin bunk bed with a convertible sofa that can also become a comfortable double bed (we have extra toppers in the closet). Our fast Wifi is with Business Level with Further Reach (18 to 35 MBPS) . There is a small TV in the living room closet that has a streaming Firestick with Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are also plenty of Blu Ray and Dvds. We do not have cable or Direct TV although you can probably use Hulu to watch regular TV channels if you have an account. We strive to use nontoxic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly cleaning products and toiletries. Examples are brands such as Andalou Organics, Acure, Shikai, etc. Well appointed kitchen has: Kitchenaid Induction Stovetop and Double Oven with Steam Coffee maker and grinder Stainless Steel Electric Kettle Instant Pots Ronco Rotisserie Blender Microwave Toaster Toaster Oven Spices Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Ceramic Anodized Aluminum Induction Pans Electrical Ceramic Tea Kettle Water Filter in the sink Cuisinart Food Processor Electric Waffle Iron Ceramic Muffin Tin Baking Sheets We strive to stock a good variety of spices but if needed there are two grocery stores within a short 5 minute walk from the house. There is a nearby trail to walk along the ocean bluffs and it's less than 2 miles to drive to Gualala Regional Park with trails next to the beach and ocean. You can kayak in the Gualala River. Cooks Beach is a more protected beach that is great to take dogs and kids to - just a few minutes drive up Highway 1 on CR-526.

Directions clear, excellent manual which we referred to at times. We enjoyed both the home, yard and sound of the waves as well as the town. Walked to town on numerous occasions. Spent two days at Gualala Point Park—could not get enough of the outdoors there.

Our main criterion was a home with similar sized bedrooms for 4 families (grandparents, kids with grandkids) and a dining table that accommodates all of us 14. The dot on I is the charming personalized outfit, great kitchen supplies, phantastic hot and cold tubs, the massaging chair, and some more special treats. The views were as advertized and we enjoyed it very much. The host was very responsive, especially during a power outage.

This is our third time staying at what everyone in our family calls “The Gualala House”. The house, the location and the amenities are perfect for our group (11 adults, teens and kids). And the hosts Nick and Judy are lovely, gracious and super quick to respond. We cannot recommend highly enough!

We absolutely love this house! This was our second visit (first visit I was pregnant, this time we had our 16-month-old in tow). Lovely property for the whole family and our dogs to enjoy. Our favorite spot is on the wrap around deck!

This is a beautiful property with an amazing view. The house is clean and stocked with everything you can imagine for a wonderful vacation. I would definitely stay here again and went home feeling a sense of peace and calm from listening to the ocean waves day and night. I love that place! Wonderful hosts.

LOVED this place, would go back. Hot tub with cold plunge of my dreams, loved that it doesnt use chlorine as my skin cant handle it. Only critique is it says sleeps 15 but that must count on kiddos coming, and we had adults and families that left kids behind, and felt we were short a bed. But we adapted and had a wonderful time. What a beautiful place! Loved the huge lawn for lawn games!

Our group of extended family, kids and dogs had a great time! The house and grounds were perfect for both spreading out and being together. We spent a lot of time on the deck and the kids and dogs made good use of the yard. The house is very well equipped, especially the kitchen. The location was perfect!

The pictures did not do the property justice. Our group enjoyed the large yard and being able to spread out comfortably throughout the campus. The kitchen is well stocked with every tool or pantry need you can think of. The proximity to town allowed us to meander down to the farmers market on Saturday and enjoy all that Gualala had to offer. We hope to come back soon.

This is a spacious home with 5 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms.
Perfect for family gatherings, girl's getaways and for multiple couples vacationing together. It is well equipped with all you need and the little town of Gualala is close by as are other attractions of this beautiful coastline of Northern California.
Our total number was only 3 adults + 2 children but there is room for more! If the weather is warmer, there is a nice deck all around to enjoy.
The Property Manager was very responsive to our request for a space heater (it took a day to heat up the house as it was chilly when we arrived) for an elderly member of our group, which was much appreciated. The large TV upstairs was great for the kids and adults!
The Hot Tubs, while an attractive feature, were somewhat difficult to use because of the heavy covers...also the cooktop required reading the instruction manual if you are not familiar with electric induction ranges! Fortunately, the hosts provide a manual for the home. Groceries from the two stores in town were pricey, so suggest a stop to shop before heading out to the coast.
You cannot walk to the beach from here but a short drive North or South of town take you to some amazing beaches.
Good Wi-Fi but unreliable cell phone reception.
All in all, a nice property for a larger group and a perfect place to make your "basecamp" as you explore this lovely area!
Touring tip: Check out the Anderson Valley for Wine Tasting!

Fantastic property- truly a home away from home with everything you need to be comfortable. The set up was perfect for a two-family (with kids) vacation. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Soaking tub was one of a kind. Short walk to town (super close to our favorite cafe)! I love the attention to small details: high quality, environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic soaps and cleaning products; amazing water pressure; large washer and dryer; plenty of towels; a surprise massage chair!
The owner was kind, responsive and clearly cares for this home. One of the best VRBO properties I’ve ever stayed in!

While the house itself is not overly big, there was enough space for all 11 of us (2 families, 2 singles). It is a VERY well-appointed house, with lots of specialty cooking equipment and extras of everything. One thing that this Type A loved: everything was clearly labeled and there were zillions of hooks everywhere for clothes, hats, etc. The one hiccup (and this is likely user error) was the one room that read 2 bunks -- I thought that meant 2 bunk beds (4 beds) but in fact it is 1 bunk bed (2 twins) and 1 big pull out couch. Response to my questions were super fast. Hot tub was rad. Everything close by was a delight but truly nothing is better than having the ocean sing you too sleep every night. Loved staying here.

Nicely located property for our family getaway with six adults, four children and two dogs. We loved the fenced yard so the children and dogs could play without the adults being worried. Nice ocean views from the main deck but beautiful views from the upper deck and observation platform. Everybody wants to stay at this property again!

a spacious and lovely house for our group of 3 families, reuniting post-vaccination for the first time in over a year. plenty of space to settle in, relax, play, eat, be outdoors... we loved the hot & cold pools, the tree house, the proximity to beaches and the sounds of the waves in quiet moments at night or in the morning. a few issues came up but the host was responsive and remedied them. would absolutely book again!

Our family of 11 and two large dogs had the best time in this house! There is more then enough room with lots of beds and portable beds. The views from the house and especially of the deck are fantastic! No beach access, but if you love the sound of crashing waves you will not be disappointed. The house is more like a compound, once you close the gates on the driveway, your are in your own paradise and your dogs can run free as well as the kids and you know they are safe (providing they are not small dogs or jumpers! ) The owners provide all essentials, paper towels, toilet paper, lotions, dish/ dishwasher soap, shower essentials, laundry detergent. Towels, extra blankets The kitchen is well stocked with spices and equipment. The table sits at least 10 and they also have a super large picnic table just outside, and It’s honestly the best stocked kitchen for a rental. The hot tub was a highlight for sure. I would be more then happy to rent this house again and again! Hoping to go back next year!
