About this house rental
Welcome to Ocean Bluff Sea Ranch Abalone Bay, a stunning architectural gem and perfect retreat for your next coastal getaway. This single-story classic Sea Ranch home was recently remodeled by famed architect Obie Bowman, blending unique design with modern comfort.

A portable computer table is on hand, along with a window bench seat perfect for reading and a sofa sleeper (available as an add-on amenity).
Two other areas provide added fun and relaxation. The fully enclosed garden courtyard, with a hot tub, BBQ, dining, and seating areas, offers privacy and ocean views. The ping pong table, stored in the garage, provides great fun for the entire group.

As soon as we arrived at Abalone Bay, my jaw dropped. The property is stunning and exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I came up with two friends, and everyone settled in quickly. Everything you could ask for is stocked at this property. We cooked beautiful meals in the kitchen, played Scrabble in the game room, hopped in the hot tub whenever we felt like it, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the sea from the large windows. My nervous system completely reset. Donna is lovely, and she sends really helpful instructions soon after you book, so you don’t spend any time worrying. Even leaving, though it was sad, wasn’t hard in terms of tidying up. And here is the kicker: dogs are welcome! It was a perfect place. We won’t stay anywhere else when we’re in Sea Ranch.

House was great with a magnificent view. Kitchen was well equipped for our gourmet cooking. Climate was perfect and rooms professional clean and comfortable. Hot tube was one of the best we have experienced.
Kids had a great time fishing, tide pooling and going to the beech. We caught fish almost every day within walking distance from house. Cleaning station was very convenient. One day we caught 7 rockcod, cabizon and Lingcod with the largest 8.5 pounds losing a bigger one. What a great time we had.
We enjoyed fresh sea ranch fish every day along with fine wine.

We had a lovely return visit to Donna and Jorge's beautiful home. The house is perfectly set up for our family of 4: each kid loves having their own bedroom, and the boys especially loved the game room with all of the games and DVDs. The kitchen is very well stocked with all of the supplies and gear you could possibly need. The views from the house are absolutely incredible, and our family loved greeting the seals perched below each morning.
Highlights from our stay included soaks in the hot tub, countless family walks on the bluff trails, exploring the Hot Spot Loop/San Andreas Fault Interpretive Loop, breakfast at Trinks in Gualala, lunch at the Lodge, grilling dinner on the deck, watching tons of World Cup games in the spacious and comfortable living room, and magical visits to Pebble Beach, Ohlson Beach, And Black Point Beach.
This year, our boys also attended a week of Sea Ranch Kids Camp at the Links. They enjoyed their time there, especially the bounce house, art projects, and kayaking trip on the Gualala River.
Thank you so much for hosting us. We can't wait to come back.

Our two-month stay at Abalone Bay in Sea Ranch was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment Jordan and I arrived, we were blown away by the incredible ocean views and the cozy, thoughtful amenities that made the house feel instantly like home.
What truly set this experience apart, however, was our host, Donna. She is by far the most attentive and accommodating host I’ve ever experienced. She truly thought of absolutely everything, anticipating our needs before we even realized we had them. Her dedication to ensuring our comfort made our extended stay incredibly relaxing and seamless.
If you are looking for a peaceful, beautifully appointed retreat on the coast, look no further. We cannot recommend Abalone Bay and Donna's unmatched hospitality highly enough!
