We loved the location of the home. The view of the ocean and trees were amazing.
Mary

The house is only a short distance from the ocean, providing for lovely walks. The house is spacious (except the 2nd bedroom and bathroom) and the kitchen was well equipped. We were comfortable.

Property info

Summary Your deck doubles as a whale-watching station during migration season at this ocean-view retreat. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific. Room for 6 in this 2-bedroom home. Near the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Morning coffee tastes different when the view is the Pacific -- and it never gets old. Summer fog burns off by midday, leaving warm afternoons perfect for trail hikes and tidepooling. The space Find rest, relaxation, and unbounded natural beauty at this two-bedroom Sea Ranch home, where you'll have a private patio with views of the ocean, access to the community's swimming pools and saunas, and an ideal location a few steps from the golf course and the Bluff Trail. This airy, single-level home sits on the ninth hole of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, offering guests immediate access to the Salal Trail, the Del Mar Meadow Trail, and the oceanfront Bluff Trail. You'll be one mile south of the beach and whale-watching spots at Gualala Point Regional Park, two miles north of Walk On Beach, and two miles south of the galleries, shops, and markets in downtown Gualala. An ideal escape for a romantic getaway, a couples' retreat, or a family with grown children, this home is also just one mile from the Del Mar Recreation Center, where you'll find a heated outdoor pool, saunas, and two tennis courts. Step into the foyer to be greeted by lofty exposed beam ceilings, tile floors, and a chandelier that adds a sense of occasion to your trip. This entryway opens into a bright and modern living room, where you'll find two sitting areas with plush sofas, soft white carpeting, a chinoiserie screen, and even a baby grand piano to provide a soothing vacation soundtrack. Grab a newspaper at the Surf Market in town each morning, and relax as the morning fog retreats.

Neighborhood info

The neighborhood Take a morning stroll along the Bluff Trail in search of whale spouts, and return home to soak in the sunshine on the patio. Between the coastal trails, tidepools, heated pools, and The Sea Ranch Lodge's restaurant, you could fill a week without leaving the community. Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1. Getting around Walk the streets of Gualala to peruse the eclectic galleries and restaurants, or catch an unforgettable sunset at the Point Arena Lighthouse 21 miles north up California Highway 1. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area. Other things to note Plug your iPhone into the sound dock, use the free WiFi to stream your favorite playlist, or choose a book from the shelves and savor the morning quiet. *Good to know: Best for guests aged 12 and up. 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. Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
