Enjoy a private hot tub and ocean views in the distance at this two-bedroom Sea Ranch vacation home. With a fun and beachy decor, this getaway is perfect for a memorable family vacation or even a relaxing couples' getaway!

Located on the east side of Hwy 1, this meadow home is a quick one-mile drive to the Sea Ranch Golf Links or just a mile further to Gualala Point Regional Park and town. You can easily pick up groceries at Surf Market or head south on the highway for eight miles to reach the Sea Ranch Lodge and its restaurant, small gift shop, and stunning bluff-top location.

Once inside the charming Casa Contenta, you'll head up the stairs to the living room, kitchen, and dining area. This bright and open space boasts tall wood beam ceilings, lots of windows, and a wood stove for chilly coast evenings.

Watch a DVD on the Blu-ray player or use the iPod dock to listen to your favorite music through the Bose speakers. This home also offers WiFi, but please be aware that this area can be somewhat inconsistent for cell and internet service. For families, there's a cute nook for the kids to play and a selection of movies and games.

A deck off the living room is a great place for your morning coffee or an afternoon spent with a good book. There's also a gas grill if the weather is nice.

Back inside, the full kitchen will make preparing meals a breeze. In addition to a refrigerator, stove-top/oven, and dishwasher, you'll also have a microwave, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, and a mixer. You'll have seating at both a dining table and a breakfast bar. Both bedrooms suites offer queen beds and there's also an air mattress available if you have the maximum of six guests (four adults are allowed). Both comfortable bedrooms have direct access to the deck with the private hot tub. In addition to the two full bathrooms, there is also a half-bath on the landing between the first and second floors.

Additional amenities include a private washer/dryer, a wet bar, and a Smart TV with Netflix streaming capabilities. Casa Contenta is a short walk from the Burbank playground and is right off of the nearby trail. During your stay, you'll have full access to all of Sea Ranch's pristine beaches, trails, and rec centers with tennis courts. Or, simply enjoy 'the sweetness of doing nothing' during your stay!

On days you don't comb the beach, soak in the private hot tub, or wander the bluff trail, a day trip to Mendocino is about 52 miles north along the coast. You can also do some wine tasting at Annapolis Winery, just 14 miles southeast.

Book today and enjoy a relaxing escape to the picturesque Northern California Coast at this Sea Ranch vacation home!

A very quiet & relaxing stay
We loved the hot tub, the modern kitchen, and the distant ocean views. We also loved watching the wildlife, walking on the roads and on the bluffs. The dark skies at Sea Ranch wowed us for several nights of star-gazing! Finally, we really enjoyed the close proximity to town (Gualala). Have stayed in this home twice now, and we will be back again!

Everything you need!
We had an awesome time here. The home was perfect for this remote location, quiet and peaceful, while being centrally located to golf, hiking, and services like; restaurants groceries, shops, and gas. This home was equipped with al the essentials to cook and be self-contained in a roomy pleasant environment as well.

Lovely home with great views.
This home was beautiful on the inside. The views out the windows upstairs were great. Got to watch gorgeous sunsets. The best part was watching the deers frolic and chase eachother in the meadow. Waking up to many huge male turkeys out the front door was a bonus as well. I would definitely love to come back to this home.

Beautiful vacation house on a spacious lot.
Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. We enjoyed watching the wildlife (turkeys, deer, fox) wander through the yard. The secluded hottub was amazing. We made several short day trips (San Francisco, Sonoma Valley, exploring the coastal beaches, Gualala). A beautiful area and a highly recommended place to stay.

Highly recommend this property. It’s not on the bluffs but you can walk via the trails to get there, or do a short drive. The house itself could use some additional dishes and glasses that aren’t plastic and new pillows!

All the basics are there
Clean, nice view of meadow and deer. Quiet neighborhood with playground nearby and easy walk to Gualala Park. Nice hot tub, but lights are out in tub. Chairs at hot tub and on little outside deck are old and uncomfortable. Could use another couch in living room. Queen beds seem smaller than queen size, at least for larger people.

Great place away from the city
Wonderful, spacious, clean, bright, and private family getaway near the ocean, forest, meadows, and state park. After walking the trails, seeing the sights, or visiting the nearby town of Gualala, you can take a dip in the community pool, soak in the backyard hot tub, or just lounge around. The deer, birds, & sheep were bonuses. One point for improvement is the electric sockets. Most were very loose which made charging and plugging in devices/appliances difficult (potential electrical hazard & cause for circuit tripping).

Great (elite) location / “OK” overall stay
Sea Ranch is fantastic. Both houses we rented seemed to have been set up by penny-pinchers. Why have terrible cheap-o mattresses; lowest end paper products? Why have ZERO kitchen supplies? Hey….at least warn folks so we bring everything, as shopping in Gualala is not what one wants to do. I kind of put it on Vacasa, and it seems like an institutional failure. But even so, Sea Ranch is crazy good so what are you going to do? PS - the door to the hot tub will auto lock you out of the house - very scary if you cannot climb the 8’ wall.

left a lot to be desired
I tried to contact the property manager multiple times about these issues but unfortunately they were not receptive to hearing what was going on. the neighborhood and view were good, and there was nice natural light in the place. but that’s about it in terms or pros. here are the issues that arose during the stay: * no heat throughout house. just space heater and wood stove. it is a two story house * for the wood stove there was only a small bundle and we needed to buy the rest. this seems flawed. like if a vrbo house had a faucet but then the guest had to pay extra for the water to run * speaking of water, it takes about 15 minutes of the water running to even get hot. sink and showers alike * no way to turn on or off fan on stove but there is a sign that says we must use fan when cooking * stove did not work longer than enough time to heat water on the kettle. could not cook on it at all * broken soap dispense that sliced my hand i am not usually one to write a bad review but i’ve tried multiple times to get in touch with the property company and have gotten nowhere with them. they need to make some serious changes before it is safe for guests, especially during the winter.

Fake Photos, Unresponsive Customer Service
House was clean upon arrival, but we were jarred that the plush leather couches represented in the photos weren't there - they'd been replaced with other upholstered ones. Furniture bait and switch didn't feel good. Fireplace details of the reservation told us to bring only kindling because firewood would be provided - but it was firewood stored outdoors and it had rained all week - so that was a bust since it was all soaked. And this is especially offensive because a pellet stove is the only upstairs heating - so all of a sudden we were out another $100 on wood for our four night stay. Kitchen was poorly equipped - no dishrack to dry dishes or scrubber to get scrambled eggs off a pan - seems like they didn't expect us to cook. I email alerted Vacasa immediately upon our arrival about these deficiencies (a phone call made at the same time to the local office went to a line with no voicemail set up, just rang forever), and didn't get an email reply for two days. Then I was told a local rep would reach out ... which happened another two days later, and while I missed that call I returned with two voicemails spread over four days - but still no one has called back and I'm sick of chasing them. I would leave a less harsh review if not for this lack of effort by customer service. Very disappointing, as I've been coming to Sea Ranch for 40 years, and this was the worst experience I've had up there. Hot tub was clean and functioned well. Would not recommend this house, would not recommend Vacasa, and will say for the price we paid - this was a rip off.

Clean, comfortable and very cold
The house was very pleasant, and extremely clean, with a nice sunset view. However, the only source of heat in the main living area is a wood stove which is a lot of work. We had lovely stay - but just know this if you rent this place in the winter!

No instructions
Usually there is a notebook with instructions, how to use tv, checkout procedures, etc. None here . Many great things, comfortable, clean, and quiet. A few upgrades, better shade to block sun so tv can be used in daytime, kitchen needs silverware for adults and pan for roasting or baked dishes. We noticed broken locking handles on lower windows.
