Enjoy a Sea Ranch vacation full of family fun at this charming home, a dog-friendly retreat that offers a private deck and hot tub, foosball table, and close proximity to coastal trails, golf, and the Del Mar Recreation Center. This meadow property is wonderfully located on the ocean side of California Highway 1, just blocks from the Del Mar Meadow Trail and the seaside Bluff Top Trail. It's also only half a mile from the Sea Ranch Golf Links and the outdoor pool and tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center, two miles north of Walk On Beach, and less than three miles south of downtown Gualala.

Whether you're planning a vacation with friends or family, this single-level home offers lovely ocean views and endless entertainment for guests of all ages. The nautical theme begins in the living room, which features soft leather furnishings and a wall of windows that face the water. After a scenic day of hiking on the Bluff Top Trail, return home to a flatscreen cable TV, DVD player, VCR, and a selection of VHS and DVD titles for quiet evenings in. More competitive guests will also find a foosball table in the living room, creating a fun and festive atmosphere at all times. Peer through the telescope to observe passing whales, deer, and foxes.

Prepare breakfast each morning in the full kitchen, which offers richly hued cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of space to prepare your Surf Market ingredients. Turn on the sound dock as you gather around the dining room table, and feel free to linger as the dishwasher cleans up. When the sun is shining on the Northern California Coast, head outside to find a deck, patio seating, and even a private hot tub for your ultimate relaxation. You can also walk half a mile to the Del Mar Recreation Center, where you'll have access to an outdoor heated pool, tennis courts, and saunas.

The main bedroom suite has lofty ceilings, a flatscreen cable TV, and a private bathroom with a jet tub and shower. And although Sea Ranch is known as a place to unplug, Ocean Star offers the modern conveniences of WiFi, central air-conditioning, and a private washer/dryer. Your family dog is also welcome to join you, but please note that a small additional fee will apply.

As one of the hidden jewels of California, Sea Ranch is beloved for its unspoiled landscapes, plentiful wildlife, and awe-inspiring beaches and trails. Spend a morning three miles south at Shell Beach, where the receding waves reveal a series of tide pools filled with sea life. You'll also be just one mile south of Gualala Point Regional Park, where visitors can often spot migrating whales offshore. In the mood for a breathtaking coastal drive? Follow California Highway 1 north for 21 miles to reach the Point Arena Lighthouse and Museum, the gorgeous structure that guards the Point Arena-Stornetta unit of the California Coastal National Monument.

It's time to begin a new family tradition - this wonderful Sea Ranch home will be a favorite for years to come!

A great location on the meadows at Sea Ranch near the northern pool and rec center. House is comfortable, with two suites with bath, a Jacuzzi and some nice deck space. While the house had all standard accoutrements, toaster oven, microwave, TV dish washer. It misses a couple things most notably serving bowls for some reason.

No complaints
Looks like they repaired things that needed fixing after the last time I was here. Literally no complaints. This home has easy trail access, a great ocean view and the kitchen is well stocked. The price is right (well, aside from the fees - I hate how they’re snuck in at the end of your booking process, it always doubles the listed rental cost). Ultimately this home has provided me a safe haven at times of need and I am very grateful for it.

Cute & Homey
This was a cute and intimate house for a girls getaway. The only minor thing I would say is how much light switch there was and some didn’t turn anything on. The master room light switch didn’t turn on the lights so you had to manually switch it on, on the lamp. But overall, I loved our stay and would stay here again.

Nice Location!
The house was cute could use some updating in the bathrooms. The carpet was stained, suggestion would be to get it steam cleaned or replace with vinyl wood. We had issues with getting the shower water hot enough. We did bring it to the property manager's attention. They said they would look into it! The location of the house was nice, we were very close to Gualala so it made it easy for us to pick up whatever we needed. It was well equipped in the kitchen. Overall, we love Sea Ranch! Love walking the trails!

The house is nicer than pictured and does have a nice view. The garbage disposal did not work and the hot tub water level was too low for the jets to work but I added water and then it was fine. THE MAIDS NEED TO DUST THE CEILING FANS!!!! I would stay again it was a lovely house and well priced.

Our usual go to..
We love this property and come often. There is normal wear and tear, but we know what to expect since we frequently visit. However, this time we experienced some visitors. There were mice rummaging around in the master bedroom the first night, and we woke up to discover mouse poop throughout the house and all over a dish. Night two there was more poop and now had gotten on a tabletop. We cut our trip short a night because we could not trust the cleanliness especially with our four month old. We had a little set up on the floor for him, which was soiled due to rodents. We called Vacasa after the first night and had anticipated they would at least come and clean or send pest control, but we never heard back. After the second night we called again and requested a refund for the third night, as we did not feel comfortable staying. They declined because mice were common in the area. I get that mice are in the area, but we have never had this issue. The amount of mouse poop was concerning especially since they had been on countertops. We were disappointed to cut our trip short and for the lack of concern about the issue.

Power outage cut short our stay
Good house, good location. Because of the storms we suffered a multi day power cut so no heating, hot water, hot tub, device charging, entertainment or cooking on the stove/oven. Lack of replacement toilet paper was another issue. Also while I did use the hot tub the first two nights before the power cut, the water must have been low PH as it badly affected my skin. whoever maintains the hot tub needs to check it and adjust it each time.

Clean and comfortable
The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. There were good amenities, like toiletries, hot tub, spa bath tub in the master bedroom, washer and dryer, foosball table and games. The rental company was very responsive and checking into and out of the house was an easy process. The kitchen had enough supplies to make a full meal and the appliances were modern. The only issue we had was with the internet and the tv in the living room, which we could not get to work and the dvd player would not work either. The internet issues could have been due to the weather, which was stormy for the whole stay. This house was a perfect reprieve from the outdoor conditions. I would definitely rent this house again.

Good enough
I want to be fair and balanced about the experience. It was not horrible by any means. We had a decent time and overall it was relaxing. I'm not one to complain although I am going to point out a few pros and cons of this property. Cons: ants! spray! they destroyed our food! had to buy raid. bed sucked in master, no frying pan, I bought & left one. air hockey, um where are you?? Pros: Mostly updated, toilet in master, skylight, hot tub, decorated nicely, mostly quiet, close to town, good for kids.

Lovely location, nice house
Sea Ranch is incredible, we have a wonderful time every time we go there. This house was fine, not our favorite. Upsides: great location, great view, comfortable beds, nice hot tub, easy walk to the bluff trail, very quiet and private. Downsides: could not raise the blinds (per the host's request, they ask we turn the slats but not raise the blinds....so views were obstructed), sofa was broken, dishwasher was not running cycles, almost no fire wood supplied, no mixing bowls (at least that we could find). We also couldn't find an exterior outlet to plug our car in, which is of course not a requirement of a rental but worth mentioning. The manager was very responsive and communication was easy. Location at the north end of Sea Ranch meant that the trip to the Surf grocery store was easy. All in all, staying here was just what the doctor ordered after an incredibly stressful election week. Nature heals!!

This is a very nice, well-equipped, relatively typical Sea Ranch home, located in the meadow with an ocean view. You only have to walk ~7 minutes to be at the ocean. We will be staying there again.

3rd stay here. Great view, comfortable house. Just a few things to keep in mind if planning a stay: The jetted tub no longer jets (I would have saved more water if I hadn’t filled above the jets only to find out they didn’t work). The floor of the shower in master bath needs to be redone (though I’m sure the prop managers are aware). The fencing around the hot tub needs repair (not as private with the guys working on the house next door). If you plan on cooking…. The house is very well stocked but needs: olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a garlic press, champagne flutes and a Brita water filter as the water at Sea Ranch is notoriously unpleasant to drink - we brought our brita from home and used the fridge water filter to fill it and that was perfect. The master bed used to be very comfortable but now it’s quite hard. We ended up sleeping in the smaller room because the bed had a softer topper. The microwave didn’t work for us, but I’m sure that will be repaired before the next guest gets in. We still very much love this home and location.
