Walk to hiking trails and gorgeous beaches from this Sea Ranch home, a dog-friendly coastal getaway with a private hot tub and firepit, panoramic views of the ocean, and access to community pools and tennis courts.

Private and scenic, this single-level home sits close to the bluffs at Sea Ranch, just down the street from Walk On Beach. You'll be less than one mile from Shell Beach; one mile from the heated pool, saunas, and tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center; and four miles south of downtown Gualala.

Couples and families will feel right at home in this lofty and light-filled retreat. It's even next door to the Samson Getaway, a home that can be rented as well for multi-family getaways.

The living space is modern and open, featuring high ceilings, a sectional sofa, and large windows that face the ocean. Warm your toes by the stone fireplace (wood is provided), curl up with a novel, or play a board game at the coffee table as you watch for local wildlife.

Prepare breakfast each morning in the kitchen, which offers standard appliances, a dishwasher, and a dining space for six. Outside in the enclosed garden, you'll find a gas grill, two patio tables, and a firepit for al fresco meals in every season.

Spend your days walking with your dog on the oceanside Bluff Trail. You'll come home to an outdoor shower and a private hot tub, as well as WiFi, a flatscreen cable TV, a DVD player, and a collection of films to keep you entertained well into the evening.

Known throughout Northern California for its scenery and tranquility, Sea Ranch is a wonderful escape for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Watch for whale spouts on Walk On Beach, play a few rounds at the Sea Ranch Golf Links two miles north, swim in the heated pool at the Del Mar Recreation Center, or take a drive 22 miles north to the Point Arena Lighthouse to catch a spectacular sunset.

Great place to stay!
I have no real complaints, it was a great place! But this property does need some upkeep. The main bath doesn’t drain properly, the barbecue needs to be replaced, and the vacuum was burned up, all from previous use.

A Wonderful Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend here - the home was so cozy, and the views at Sea Ranch are just amazing. The property manager was very responsive on text, and the end-to-end experience was great. We loved the hot tub and the selection of games and movies - we will definitely be back!

Wonderful spot
This house is a great find in Sea Ranch. We loved the enclosed yard for our dog, the ocean view and outdoor shower. We would have rated the home a 5 but a huge disappointment was that the hot tub wouldn’t heat up. We asked for some money back since this was a critical amenity in choosing this home and were greatly disappointed that we weren’t compensated in some way.

Good location
We liked the enclosed yard for the dog and the hot tub was great. But the shrubs have taken over the outdoor table and the furniture hadn’t been cleaned. Bedroom lighting was insufficient for reading. The toaster has a loose wire and master toilet doesn’t always refill. It was so easy to hop in the bluff trail and there were deer Ev Very morning at breakfast.

Great little Sea Ranch house.
The house is a little smaller than the photos show but it was still plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the utensils and pots/pans that we needed. We used the grill several times and it worked great except for the electric starter (there were matches to fix that problem). The hot tub was clean and hot when we arrived. Some parts of the house are dated but they add to the original Sea Ranch charm. The house is not right on the bluff but still has a good ocean view.

Sea ranch is gorgeous!
Took four generations to stay at Anam Cara. Lovely beach view and a short jaunt to the beach. The hot tub was perfect. The only negative (for the sake of the review), is the house was a bit dirty. The coffee table had sticky smudges, and the extra blankets were thrown on the closet floor disheveled appearing to be used. Otherwise everything was great.

Peaceful, close to beach, dog friendly, drafty
We enjoyed our stay the week between Christmas and New Year, but it was cold and rainy and the thermostat in the living room is not adequate to heat the house past 60 in those conditions... so the first 3 days were chilly! A blanket or throw on the couches would have come in handy. The hot tub was great, the location was great. Comfy seating at a big kitchen table (great for puzzling!) and the wraparound couch, though none of it orients you to the beautiful views of the meadow and ocean in the distance. The kitchen has some nice stuff mixed in with old. We bought scrubby sponges, plastic wrap, and napkins. We also needed to buy toilet paper, fire starter, and matches. Plenty of firewood provided. The bed in the back bedroom had a spring sticking up at shoulder height on the right side of the bed. The heaters in the bedroom and the warm bedding kept us toasty at night. Our small dog enjoyed sniffing around the fenced yard while we soaked in the hot tub. It was hard getting up and out by 10am but we appreciate things are different during Covid. Overall, a lovely coastal vacation.

Safety issues. The need for grab bars in the shower area. The showers are in tubs.
Grab bars also needed in the shower. Hot tub was not safe at all. I have owned two hot tubs in former homes and both were easy to get in and out of. We used it the first night, but chose not to use it again. I will not re turn to this home again.

Sea Ranch retreat
It was a great spot for our group of six women for a weekend gathering. The hot tub is wonderful and the house was very comfortable. Unfortunately we didn't get to take advantage of the lovely yard as it was a wet weekend. My only suggestion is the lighting especially in the room with the bathroom. The reading lights were very dim and I wasn't able to read my book at night. I would also mention that the kitchen and living room might do well with another lamp. I'm sure as the days grow longer it isn't much of an issue but in winter it was noticable. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and all of us agreed we would love to make a return trip.

Our Great Escape to our favorite place at The Sea Ranch
This was our third visit to The Sea Ranch and our second stay at this home. We looked at other options and didn't find anything as appealing. It's perfect for my husband and I and our dog. The meadow to ocean view is awesome. It's a close walk to the bluff trail and beaches. Deer seem to always be in view. We also saw rabbits, snakes, quail and humming birds. The Sea Ranch sheep & goats escaped their fencing one afternoon for a run through the back yard. The hot tub is soothing after a long day out. Please get another frame to help move the cover off & on as it's very heavy. The fenced yard is great for the dog. We like the new outdoor bench seating and the new placement for the fire pit. There are a lot of new items on the inside: flooring, pillows, pots & pans, dishes and bed spreads. I'm sure we will return again for the Magic of it all.

Family Getaway- Aram Cara
Two families of 4 enjoyed our stay at Aram Cara. The views of the meadow and ocean were prime for wildlife viewing. The accomodations were rustic yet cozy. Plenty of seating for everyone. Hot tub and outdoor shower were well maintained and the private garden space with fire pit and dining area were a nice quiet spot. The kids loved the bunk beds, games, and books. Our only ask is for one more set of plates (8), so that we can take a break from doing dishes every meal, and if possible, to secure the bedroom windows as they rattled loudly during the gusty storm that blew in one night and kept us awake for hours (although with Sea Ranch architecture maybe this is an unrealistic fix). Otherwise the accomodations were warm and cozy with great views and perfect for 2 families. Thank you!

The place is in a great location within 5 minutes walk to the beach. It has great ocean view from most rooms. The house is clean and very comfortable for a family of seven plus a dog. The yard is enclosed so perfect for pets. My kids really like sitting in the jaccuzi after walking on trails.

Great seaside escape for families and dogs
Close to trails, beach, with an awesome view of the ocean perfect for pets and families. Kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms and livingroom comfortable. All rooms have a great view! This house has all the bases covered with just a few suggested improvements. The spa's jets were only 1/2 working. A better cable package to include some sports and premium channels would be appreciated, otherwise would love to come back and stay longer next time. Thank you!
