The house and the location are just stunning. This was one of the most serene places we've ever stayed.
Happy to report that the complaints (which did make us a little apprehensive about this place) were either unfounded or addressed by the owners:
- Kitchen was well stocked: pots, pans, utensils--you can cook a modestly-ambitious meal here. The bad: the spices were scant, and the pop-up toaster didn't work (but they have a toaster oven/air fryer!).
- House overall was in great shape. Some reviews made it sound dingy, but that was not our experience. There are some nitpicks, but overall very clean and well kept. We saw a few ants, but not enough to worry about at all.
- Hot tub worked perfectly.
I think we'll be back. The location is unbeatable; it feels like you have the whole shore to yourself. We walked for 2 hours and only saw 3 people. Maybe that's our reward for staying on a weekend with rain in the forecast. Views of the ocean are unobstructed. There's a cluster of large rocks 100ft or so off shore that attracts birds and produce big sprays of water, and you can sit anywhere in the living room and watch.
The house is on the northern end of sea ranch, so you can get into Gualala in a few minutes for groceries, dinner, etc.
