Offering an enviable location just up the road from Shell Beach, this Sea Ranch home provides wonderful comfort with a blue-water view of the ocean. You'll be able to stroll to the oceanfront Bluff Trail in a matter of minutes each morning, and be welcomed home by an enclosed garden terrace with a private hot tub.

This home was built in the classic Sea Ranch style, with a reverse floor plan that places the main living space upstairs on the second floor. This great room is both open and inviting, offering lofty ceilings of natural wood, a wall of windows that face the ocean, and a sofa, a plush armchair, and built-in window seats to help you admire the view. You can curl up with a book in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace, set up a board game at the dining room table, or turn on a movie while keeping one eye peeled for whale spouts.

Begin each morning with a visit to the outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas at the nearby Ohlson Recreation Center, and come home to unwind on the back terrace. This fenced outdoor space is perfectly sheltered from the wind, featuring a private hot tub, a gas grill, and a table for al fresco meals. Back inside, the kitchen has every necessary appliance and bar seats for three sous chefs.

After a day spent hiking, beachcombing, and tide-pooling, you'll find the two ocean view bedrooms on the lower level. Additional amenities include private laundry facilities and free WiFi throughout the house.

Fantastic House
I love the joint kitchen living room everyone can cook and talk and vibe out on the chaise-y couch thing. Also the hot tub was very solid and It's a pretty delightful walk to the coast.

Good for the price
This is a comfortable house and is fairly priced. We stayed with our two dogs and appreciated the enclose yard. The inside is clean with very comfortable seating. The outside could use a little attention. There were no cushions for any of the chairs or chaise lounge and cobwebs everywhere. The location is close to Highway 1 so during the day the car noise was very noticeable. On the plus side the house is close to trails to the beach and bluff.

Sea View
The Sea View property is located close to the bluff trails and one eyed jacks picknick area. We enjoyed our stay. However, the house is rather tired and could use some updating. If you are looking for a newer up to date accommodation this is not the house for you.

Ocean view getaway
This vacation house was seriously underrated from previous reviews! I stayed here for nearly a week with my family and enjoyed a roomy open concept feel with an ocean view. The whales were migrating and we would have had an AMAZING view if we had binoculars…but even so, we could see the splashes with our naked eye!!! Relax in the cute and completely private courtyard, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the hummingbirds which were everywhere!

Relaxing and needs tlc
Lovely great room views and comfy beds. The jets on the hot tub are low-pressure (see other reviews) but the tub was hot. My only real concern was a rental in Sonoma had only 3 wine gkasses.this is wine country. Whats up with that?

Retro feel
If you like the 70s then this may be the place. I do, so I enjoyed it. Some of the things are a little rundown but if the price is right then I recommend. Great view of the ocean. Hot tub situated under the trees. Kitchen a bit lacking in supplies but sufficient. Bedrooms nice, comfortable. There was no firewood supplied so pick some up on the way or in Gualala at the market. Watch out for ticks in the yard, they are abundant.

Good place for 2
Enjoyed our stay at Sea View. Definitely old Sea Ranch. Enclosed courtyard was lovely and great to have the area for our dog. Kitchen tools could use some updating. Problem we had was the comforter on king bed. Management should have known IT SMELLED AWFUL. Please be more aware when bedding needs to be replaced or at least cleaned. Otherwise a good home and we enjoyed our stay

Accessibility
Location is beautiful and easy drive or walk to beach access. Suggestions for owner/property management or for potential renters: This home is not the best for those with mobility limitations as the kitchen/living space is upstairs and the stairs are slippery wood and the hand rail is low. The bedrooms & bathroom is downstairs so up & down is a necessity. Area rugs could use non slip pads or adhesive underneath as they would slip when walking (again a hardship if mobility limitations exist). The bath/shower combo is difficult to enter & exit as it was slippery and no grab bars. Bedroom with king bed lacks ventilation as window does not open and there are no screens on sliders. Only other complaint would be that the jets in hot tub are almost non existent so if a hot tub is a top search feature….this hot tub is more like an outdoor bath, albeit lovely as it sits under a flowering tree that was filled with hummingbirds. Loved the bar apparatus that made it very easy to remove & place the hot tub cover (great invention!) The house was well stocked with dishes, glassware, kitchen appliances & utensils, extra blankets, towels, etc. Not zhushy per se but comfortable. Happy to see that new outdoor furniture was being replaced as we were leaving, as they had definitely ran out their life span.

Nice cozy home...
We had a good stay at this home. It's in good condition and within walking distance to Shell Beach. The house was clean, and reasonable stocked, which hasn't always been the case when staying in Vacasa homes, especially over the last couple of years. The hot tub was nice and clean, but the jets don't work. We didn't mind, as we just used it for soaking purposes. The kitchen is a bit lacking, specifically in dishes. There were only three of us staying for the week, but we had to wash everything twice a day or there weren't any more for use. There is a lack of mixing bowls and storage containers and/or ways to cover leftovers, so that's another thing that people would need to bring. The house was really clean, but the carpets and the couches all have lots of stains and could use a steam clean. We did have an issue with the fireplace, but the local office called us the next day and took care of it in a timely manner, which we really appreciated. The staff at the local office is super-friendly and very professional. Finally, even though this is the first trip out of about five Vacasa stays over the last several years that was reasonably well-stocked (laundry detergent, garbage bags, towels, paper towels, cleaning supplies etc.), they still only gave us only one roll of toilet paper for the entire week. We are no longer in the throes of a pandemic and there is not a shortage of toilet paper, so it's a bit ridiculous to pay $450+ per night to stay in a home and not have a decent amount of toilet paper. I am not camping, so I don't see why I would need to bring this to a rental home. A few more rolls wouldn't hurt the bottom line.

Sea Ranch for All
Loved this house, price point was right and the house had everything needed for an excellent time at Sea Ranch. It’s a short walk to Shell Beach, great views of the ocean, equidistant between the two big pools, and easy to pick up the bike route into Gualala. As others have said, the house isn’t as fancy inside (except for its nicely renovated shower, a huge plus after long day at the beach) but it was clean with comfortable beds and a hot tub!

Cozy cottage with nice, but basic, amenities.
Nice location with views of the ocean in the distance. My only reservations were (l) the jets in the spa were really weak, (2) the shower head in the only shower was really short, and (3) I wish the online listing had mentioned that you need to bring your own coffee. But the cottage had a nice, rustic feel and made for a nice weekend visit overall.
