Summary:

A modern two-bedroom Sea Ranch home west of Highway 1 with ocean views from the main living level, the primary bedroom, and the loft office, plus a private hot tub on the side-yard deck. It sleeps 4 — a king and two twin beds — with three full bathrooms, one with a soaking tub. The coast is about 1/2 mile away, Shell Beach about a mile, and Gualala about 5 miles north.



The Space:

SeaRenity is a wood-sided modern home on the west side of Highway 1, about 1/2 mile from the coast, with the ocean in view from the main rooms.



The main level is one open room, and large windows look out to the ocean. The dining table sits at the window with the ocean beyond it. The kitchen opens to the room over a breakfast bar — dishwasher, oven and stove, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, blender, toaster, rice maker — so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. The living side has a couch and a TV.



A spiral staircase leads up to the loft office, which has a desk and an ocean view. It is a workspace, not a third bedroom. A telescope stands in the study nook.



The primary bedroom has a king bed and large windows with an ocean view. The second bedroom has two twin beds. There are three full bathrooms — one with a soaking tub, one with a walk-in shower. A washer and dryer sit in a laundry nook with a small desk beside them.



Outside, the private hot tub sits on the side-yard deck, the spot for watching the sunset. The deck also holds seating, an outdoor dining table, and a gas grill. Past the deck is a yard with a wooded edge where deer, rabbits, and California quail show up.



OUT THE DOOR

The Sea Ranch Lodge, with its restaurant and café, is about 1/2 mile away, and Shell Beach about a mile. Black Point headland is a mile and a half away, and Pebble Beach is about 1 3/4 miles. Harbor seals haul out at Green Cove, 2.2 miles away. Gualala — groceries, restaurants, the Gualala Arts Center — is about 5 miles north on Highway 1.

The Neighborhood:

The Sea Ranch Lodge — restaurant and café — is about 1/2 mile from the house, and the Sea Ranch Chapel about 1 mile. Shell Beach is about a mile. Black Point headland is a mile and a half away, Pebble Beach is about 1 3/4 miles, and the nearest rec-center pool is about 2 miles. Harbor seals haul out at Green Cove, 2.2 miles away. Gualala — groceries, restaurants, the Gualala Arts Center, and the Bluff Trail — is about 5 miles north on Highway 1. Annapolis Winery is 10.8 miles inland. For a day trip, Jenner and Bodega Bay are south on Highway 1.



Getting Around:

From San Francisco, allow about 2.5 hours: Highway 101 north to Highway 1, then up the coast. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County (STS) in Santa Rosa, about 1.5 hours east; pick up a rental car there, because a car is the only practical way to get around Sea Ranch.



Other Things to Note:

The wood stove in the living room is not operational. The house has heating; it does not have a working fire.



Streaming on the TV runs on your own accounts — log in to the services you already use.



Sea Ranch is a dark-sky community, so there is very little exterior lighting. Bring a flashlight for evening walks, then turn it off and look up.



Gray whales pass December through April. Wildflowers bloom April through June: lupine, poppies, iris. Summer mornings are often foggy, and it usually lifts by midday.



Cell service is spotty along this coast. The house has WiFi. 2-night minimum.
