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!

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!

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.

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.

Good option close to bluff and views
We really like this house, 2nd visit. I planned a long visit cooking all of our own meals - wasn’t sure about kitchen supplies. It was very well stocked and organized. So if you plan on cooking you’re good to go. I was sad to see that the air hockey table had been removed but the listing and photos still mention it. The master bed seemed way firmer than I remembered from fall 2019 (good to know the mattress was changed but the previous one was far more comfortable). Also the bunk bed is gone (no biggie for us, but some kids might get excited by the photos of it). I guess the take away is to update the photos for the listing. One of our guests also suggested adding hooks by the hot tub for towel hanging. Otherwise, more affordable than other listings with great whale watching/ocean views and easy access to the Sea Ranch bluff trails. Will be back! Thank you

Nice quiet get-a-way! First travel for us since COVID Pandemic!!
Positives: Clean, comfortable, nice setting & private. Nice view of ocean in the distance from living room windows. Beautiful sunsets!! Negatives: Did not use hot tub even though we were charged a $ 45 "Hot Tub Fee". Ice machine inside freezer wasn't working. Used shower in 2nd bedroom and shower head diverter valve was broken and came off in my hand. Called Management office to report condition and they said they would send their maintenance folks out to repair it. Gas BBQ was very dirty and old, so did not use. Overall, a good choice for us as we really needy a change of scenery after being locked in for so long!!! Probably would recommend this place to friends just for the piece and quiet!

Lovely getaway
The property was nicely located, very close to the trails and to Gualala town. Lovely ocean view from the living room. Kitchen is amply supplied with pots and appliances. The house needs some deep cleaning and TLC as well as updating. Dryer not functional. Some dishes left with food residue.

A Sea Ranch Favorite
This was our second time staying at this property. I love how close it is to the bluff/trails. Nice property, clean and kitchen has pretty much everything you would need. New hot tub, we had slight issue (no power) but we were able to have fast and quick communication with Vacasa staff, and it was a simple issue. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
My family of four had a quick weekend getaway to Sea Ranch. We loved the home. My two young children, ages 5 and 3, had a lot of fun with the foosball table, air hockey, and hot tub. The home was very clean and well appointed. We had no hesitation about health and safety during our stay. The home was a short drive to local beaches, and a short walk away from a beautiful waterfront hike. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Air hockey and foosball + great location = wonderful vacation!
This was a lovely house in a great location. We were super close to Gualala so running in to town to grab groceries was easy peasy. The two gaming tables were fun for our kids. The house is beautiful with a wonderful view of the blue water, and we had an easy walk down to the bluffs to watch the waves come in and the seals lie about.

The power went out in a portion of the house so I filled out a form on vrbo but that message for help in finding fuse box/get help but the message never made it to the property manager. We had no power in that part of the house for the last two nights. Eventually I was told I should have called vacasa (how would I know that?) who said they would get back to me but never did. Also: the lockbox didn't work and cleaners were still at property at 4 PM - our checkin time.
