The Bluffs at Sea Ranch - Great Ocean Access - High Speed WiFi - Close to Town

Now with fast and dependable Sea Ranch Connect fiber optic internet service!

This Property can be booked online and the calendar is always up to date! This property is limited to 4 guests, no pets will be considered.

Location, Style and Value - The north end is arguably the best Location on the ranch for visitors! It's closest to the town of Gualala with it's shops, markets and eating/drinking establishments. Originally built for an empty nest couple, The Bluffs at Sea Ranch is perhaps the perfect place for a loving couple to reignite their passion. The professionally designed interior is fresh, light-filled and private featuring our signature look with antiques and contemporary furnishings in a modern playful mix. You will appreciate the high quality bedding, pillows and comforters, an updated kitchen with commercial stainless steel appliances, Master Chef cookware, Wusthof knives and all the goodies. Separate laundry, viewing deck, covered patio, private fenced yard, and inviting Jacuzzi spa with views of the Pacific round out the ample amenities.

The two-level master suite encompasses the majority of the second floor. Lounge with your favorite book on the 9-foot window seat and enjoy seasonal whitewater ocean views and glorious sunsets. Then step down to the spacious bath area for a sumptuous soak with the sounds of the crashing waves to help sooth away your worries. The massive California king size bed invites restful slumber with a super high-end Aireloom 'Super Feather Bed' mattress. The second bedroom is located on the ground floor and has access to its own private garden and patio. It's cozy and comfortable and great for extra guests. In addition, on the second floor, is a lofted niche with a full size bed that looks out upon the Sea Ranch Golf Links and acres of natural land on one side and the ocean on the other. The perfect place to escape from someone who snores!

With panoramic ocean views from nearly every window, and acres of wilderness to the east the property is adjacent to Gualala Point Regional Park and the town of Gualala the convenience and walk-ability are unsurpassed. The bluff trail along the ocean side of the property serves as your gateway to the great blue Pacific.

Designed and sited to take advantage passive heating and cooling from Mother Nature, you'll enjoy soothing benefits of radiant floor heating with no drying forced air to stuff up your sinuses.

Again, pets are not allowed - please don't ask. If unauthorized pets are brought onto the property, a minimum fee of $500 will be charged for extra cleaning.

Blissful stay at the Bluffs
Sea Ranch is magical. It’s so easy to leave city life behind as soon as you step into the life and routines of Sea Ranch. The Bluffs is perfectly located with gorgeous sea views and easy access to the trail which is over 10 miles of beauty. The house is fully equipped to cook and incredibly cozy. Loved all the seats and corners to sit and read. We loved our stay.

Tranquility
This VRBO property is the best I have experienced on several levels. Location could not be better and the gardens are simply beautiful. The home is tastefully and practically appointed, creating a sense of calm. This is a well cared property that my fiancée and I look forward to visiting again.

Nice Home near the golf course
Very comfortable home four our family. Great hot tub, close to bluff path, quiet. What more could you ask for in a Sea Ranch weekend? Throw in a well equipped kitchen, and an easy to communicate with owner? Perfect.

Wonderful Second Visit to The Bluffs at Sea Ranch
We continue to enjoy our days at The Bluffs at Sea Ranch and look forward to another visit soon. This home is welcoming and well-organized and has stunning ocean views, soaring sea birds, and excellent access to the Buffs trail system. The kitchen is well stocked, and the house is spotless. Blooming plants surround the courtyard and hot tub. Our stay ended too soon!

Beautiful Ocean Views
We were delighted with this home and its location. The views of the ocean are exceptional. The garden was in full bloom when we arrived. The entire property is carefully maintained, and the kitchen is well-stocked with various cooking supplies. The hot tub was beautiful, as well. We hope to return to this peaceful, welcoming home soon.

Really enjoyable
Great location, close to trail, Gualala point and Gualala. The house was very clean, fabulous kitchen with everything I needed and more, bed very comfortable, decor was top notch, great taste! The only drawback was the sitting room, small but comfortable. The host was very responsive if I had a question, super fast. Wish there was a binder with informations about the house and area. We loved our stay, it is truly a special place.

Smell the Sea and feel the sky…
An absolutely gorgeous house where we enjoyed nature at it’s most powerful. The Bluffs, with fantastic ocean views, has all the amenities for a very comfortable getaway, including a backup electric system. We very much appreciated this during the Atmospheric River storm. A bird’s eye view to the ever changing Pacific and Mother Nature…breathtaking. John is an attentive and communicative host. We look forward to returning in the future. Many thanks.

Beautiful house with amazing views
We had a great time starting at this sea ranch house. It is very well appointed and we had everything that we needed for a relaxing family weekend. We loved taking walks on the trail that runs parallel to the coast and can be accessed right from the back yard. The hot tub was nice for relaxing in the evening. The ocean view from the panoramic window in the master bed is just what we were looking for. The host was also very responsive. We would love to come back to this house again.

Excellent location, the home is fully equipped with everything one could need. Kitchen is fully stocked with top quality cookware and every utensil needed to make a chef feel right at home. Beds are very comfortable. Hot tub well maintained. Beautiful garden. Excellent privacy. The bluffs, beach, walking trails just outside the backdoor. Deer, hummingbirds, sea lions, whales, all just steps away. The sound of the ocean. Amazing property. Thanks again for our stay!

Nice get away. Beautiful views from the house. Loved all the walking trails.
Easy process to rent this house. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It did get 80 degrees inside and out and it would of been nice to turn on some AC inside the house but it was not turned on. And maybe a screen on the patio door in the living room to avoid a few flies that came in. Other than that great!

Difficult weather but a good residence
Rain and wind prevailed, but the views are great and a few short walks were possible. Only suggestion is to take some of the gear off of the key. It was almost impossible to cram it back into the lock box. Lovely place. Thanks.

The Bluffs
We have always loved Sea Ranch and this was our first time at the Bluffs. Great location. We would have liked screens on the downstairs windows so we could let in fresh air and not let in insects or perhaps even wildlife. We were surprised there was no inside exhaust for stove. All in all lovely.

Cosy house with great view and location.
Very comfortable. accessible and cheerful house. Kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms and baths were clean and very useable. Straight on views of the bluffs, ocean and sunsets. Even though the house has two bedrooms and two full baths it would have been a tight squeeze for two couples given that there really was not a separate living room and the sitting area was small. All in all it was great for my husband and I and we would definitely rent it again.
