Perched on the front row of the blufftop - with an entire wall of windows with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, a redwood deck, and a large hot tub – where else would you want to be other than this wonderful Sea Ranch vacation home? But wait, there is more: the home now is 100% solar-powered, with 31 state-of-the-art rooftop solar panels, a new heat pump system (which includes central air conditioning as well as heat), and a new hybrid water heater! There also is a Level 2 (40 AMP) “JuiceBox'' Electric Vehicle charging station at the home, with a 25 foot long charging cable, available for your private use to charge your EV seven times faster than from a standard wall plug. It uses the J1772 universal charging standard, so Tesla drivers should remember to bring the small adaptor provided by Tesla. The home was remodeled in January 2022 with beautiful new Quartzite countertops, the cupboard doors were refinished, and new sinks and fixtures were installed throughout.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom Sea Ranch retreat offers the perfect relaxing space for a couples' weekend. If you want to get in a bit of exercise during your stay, you can walk the breathtaking Bluff Trail, which is situated only a 10-second walk from your oceanfront door. You also can do a few laps in the nearby large, heated swimming pool (40 feet x 82 feet), or play a few games of tennis at the nearby tennis courts. Both the swimming pool and the tennis courts are located in the Del Mar Recreation Center, which is only a five-minute walk from the front door of Seascape and also offers saunas in which to relax and unwind.

It may be tough to pull yourself away from the hot tub, which is situated in the private, enclosed, wind-protected courtyard with a view of the ocean and made cozy with greenery from the nearby courtyard garden. The living room is drenched in sunlight from the vertical grain fir floors to the vaulted ceilings and has an expansive view of the ocean. A long ocean facing wall of large windows flood tons of natural light into the living and dining areas. Complimentary high-speed (1 Gigabyte) fiber-optic WiFi is also provided to keep you connected to friends and family. Additional WiFi nodes also have been installed to extend fast WiFi throughout the home and the enclosed courtyard. Telephone service (VOIP) is included as well, with free long distance calling within the continental United States (excluding Alaska and Puerto Rico).

When the sun goes down, come inside to the sofas in the living room and warm up by throwing a couple of logs onto the living room fireplace. The master bedroom has its own separate wood-burning fireplace. In the morning, fix a breakfast with in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with an electric range and dishwasher. Share snacks around the dining table, which faces out onto the ocean view.

In each of the two bedrooms, you'll find a king-size bed. Each of the bedrooms has its own television, and a third television is viewable from the living room and dining room. All three TVs are connected to a DVR, linked to DISH Network and its package of more than 190 television channels plus additional satellite radio channels. Streaming via Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix (the Premium Ultra HD package) all are available for free on all three TVs. A DVD player is provided to play any DVDs you may have. There also are several classic DVD movies on the shelf underneath the living room TV. A ROKU Ultra Player also is provided to facilitate your connections with various streaming platforms.

Head out for a day at the Sea Ranch Golf Links, just over a mile from your door. Visit Trinks Cafe in Gualala, roughly three miles away, for a bite to eat before stocking up on wine and snacks at the Surf Market. You can walk along the Blufftop Trail to Gualala Point Regional Park to the north or all the way to Black Point Beach to the south. Annapolis Winery is less than a 10-mile drive for an afternoon picnic and wine tasting. Mendocino just 51 miles north is a great day trip for a stroll of a friendly coastal town. However, you may find that you spend most of your time relaxing in the hot tub or wandering the picturesque Blufftop Trail, just steps from your door. A washer and dryer are provided for your exclusive use will make it easy for you to keep your wardrobe fresh and clean.

This Sea Ranch oceanfront blufftop house will be your new favorite place to escape with your friends and loved ones!

We recently have remodeled but do not plan to do any further major remodeling.

If you want true ocean view then secure the house

We loved that it was a few steps from the hiking trail… loved that you could sit and enjoy the ocean view from the living and kitchen area including master bedroom. We enjoyed the fire place but we had to buy presto logs. The closed patio was great to sit and still be able to view the ocean . Again it’s an old house compared to other houses we stayed at. This one was comfortable.

Love the architecture of this home! Plus it's very green...

The layout of this home, its ocean views, and its proximity to the bluff trail are fantastic. We also appreciated the solar power, EV charger, and hottub!

Vacasa Sea Ranch rentals are not clean

House was dirty including dirt in the beds, cobwebs, etc. It could use a barbecue and chairs outside. The view is amazing which could make up for it. Recent Vacasa rentals in Sea Ranch have all been dirty which is a disappointment. We will look for another rental agency after 20 years of renting from Ram's Head Realty / now Vacasa.

Gorgeous view and location

We got what we wanted for this stay: a perfectly comfortable home overlooking the ocean. The house definitely needs a facelift but most of it was easily overlooked because it was clean and the view trumped all.

We just celebrated my husband’s 75th birthday at Seascape. Our son and daughter-in-law joined us and we had a wonderful week. The hiking path is right out the door, the deer were grazing, and the ocean view is spectacular. The house had everything we needed. We felt at relaxed and at home . And , we are returning next summer!

The views!!!

This was my second stay at this home. The very first time that I visited Sea Ranch was at this home. The incredible location and breathtaking views made me fall in love with the area. You truly can’t beat the views—absolutely perfect!The views are stunning from every angle.You can relax in the spa while still enjoying those amazing views. We were unable to get the Jets working for the spa, but the temperature was just right and still made for a great experience.Yes, the house is a bit dated, but that’s not why I come here. The real reason is the views of the ocean, being close to the ocean hearing the ocean and extremely easy access to the incredible trails that Sea Ranch has to offer. All of which this home has!A quick heads-up: make sure not to leave food out—we left a sealed box of donuts on the counter and ants found their way in. But honestly, that’s just part of nature.Can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous Sea Ranch Blufftop Getaway

This home is extremely well located right on the top of the bluff overlooking the amazing Sonoma Coast. Steps from the house is the Bluff Trail offering three miles of blufftop hiking. When tired of the views, the interior courtyard offers a large private hot tub, perfect for viewing the stars at night. The kitchen had all the essentials, the baths well equipped and the bed was quite comfortable. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone seeking a relaxing view-filled retreat. It was a good value for the money.

Oceanfront views

The view is incredible from the living room but the steps and the deck are very creaky and the paint is peeling off. The place would be great with paint job and some less dingy furnishings.

Amazing home and location - incredible value!

We absolutely loved this home and can't wait to return. This was our first stay at Sea Ranch and now I feel like staying in another home would almost be a letdown. The architecture is beautiful, the view is stunning, and the location is first-rate. The home is a little worn, so if you require "fancy" accommodations this may not be an exact fit, but I say this place is still all-around astounding. If the owners ever want to sell, please contact me! :)

It's all about the view!

You cannot beat the view of the ocean from this house. While it is true that the house is in need of a lot of updating, it doesn't matter because look out the windows --spectacular! This is our third time staying here; we'll be back. (All that said, a fresh coat of paint, new towels, and a new dishwasher would work wonders.)

Stunning views, very clean but a little dated

This was a great location with the entire back of the home nothing but windows. It was great to just sit on the couch and look at the ocean since at times it was a bit cold. Beds were quite comfortable. There are some things that could be updated like the microwave and the spa did not have good jets. There was a bit of an ant problem, but nothing terrible. This would be a great stay for two couples since the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home and both have king beds. The bedroom furniture is on its last legs but was fine for our stay.

The view is great. Cleanliness not so great.

The view at this house is amazing. The house is spacious and well equipped. We loved the easy access to hiking on the Bluff Trail and close by to Gualala Downtown. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of our recent stay. There was black mold on the ceiling in one of the bathrooms, which is a serious health hazard. Additionally, there were ants present in both the kitchen and bathrooms. These conditions made our experience concerning. The wifi was working properly mostly in the living room and kitchen. We hope that these issues are addressed promptly for the well-being of future guests.

Showing its age but a beautiful place nonetheless

This is a gorgeous place, although it’s a little run down. Not dirty, just obviously worn down a bit. The place has great views plus direct access to the coastal trail in a quiet part of the world. A few things to know going in: There is some rot on the steps in the back outdoor area that could be a little dangerous for kids. Especially with splinters. There are no blinds in the bedrooms, so if you’re sensitive to light, expect to get up at dawn. The music player is broken so we just played music from our laptop. A sliding door in the back is inoperable. Fortunately there are two sliding doors for the back access so you don’t need it but it would have been nice to have that door open with the screen so we could hear the ocean. So yeah, overall a nice place. You will have a great vacation here as we did, just expect a little west and tear.

Great location, comfortable

Unbeatable location. Right on the Bluff trail, steps away from a neat lookout. Comfortable beds. Spacious living room. Large functional kitchen, lots of cookware which was in a better shape than what we got used to. Stable and fast WiFi - I worked from the house for a bit without a hitch. There is a wall of windows facing the sea - with an awesome view day and night. People walking on the trail can see you, especially in the evening, so there is some limits to privacy. We didn't feel the intrusion at all. The one downside was the noise from the hot tub. We used it a lot, it was clean and pleasant. But it has a soft cover that does not provide any insulation, so the hot tub is running day and night, non-stop. To us that made the inner enclosed yard /deck pretty much unusable. It has a nice table with chairs, and it would offer a nice place to read, write, or lie down at night and watch the stars if it was not for the continuous hot-tub noise.

Perfect for an extended get away

Lovely older home right on the cliff- top. If you love walking, waking up to see the ocean and easy access to Gualala this is a great space! The home has a very open concept and a large enclosed deck. The only drawback is that it can be hard to get privacy if you need a separate space for work or multiple activities.
