Ocean Sunset

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Find the time and space to rest, reflect, and soak up the beauty of the Northern California Coast at this three-bedroom home in Sea Ranch. In this serene setting overlooking the meadow and ocean, you'll have a private hot tub, lovely window-lined living spaces, and amazing access to the Bluff Trail and Walk On Beach.

This home enjoys a highly desirable location within Sea Ranch, with the oceanfront Bluff Trail and the broad expanse of Walk On Beach accessible at the end of Mast Head Reach. You'll be within walking distance of the Monarch Glen, One-Eyed Jack's playground, the tidepools of Shell Beach, and the Del Mar Recreation Center - one of the three Sea Ranch rec centers with an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas for which you'll have passes. And with an electric vehicle charger (outlet only)next to the garage, you'll have no trouble reaching the Sea Ranch Golf Links, downtown Gualala, and the other beauties of Highway 1.

Each day begins and ends outside on the deck, where you'll find the hot tub, a pair of lounge chairs, and a bistro table. It's the perfect setting for watching deer graze in the meadow as you sip your coffee and crack open a book.

Inside, the house has been recently and thoughtfully updated with new hardwood floors and new, comfortable sofas. At the heart of the home is an elevated family room lined with windows, where you can look for whale spouts on the ocean horizon and gather for incredible nightly sunsets. Prepare meals with ease using stainless steel appliances and quartz counterspace in the kitchen, dine in the cozy warmth of the woodstove or central forced heat, and spend your evenings watching movies on Netflix, Hulu Live, or DVD. Three spacious bedrooms, high-speed WiFi, and a private laundry room are provided as well.

Beautiful family getaway

Ocean Sunset is situated near Walk-on Beach, one of the best beaches at Sea Ranch. 2 couples, 2 young boys and a dog were very comfortable. House is spacious, with a well equipped kitchen, a nice hot tub, gas grill, toys and games for kids. The elevated family room with leather couches and ample window seats is perfect, for relaxing, reading or just looking at the scenery including the many deer and occasional other visitors, e.g., fox, rabbits, etc. Highly recommend.

The rental was adequate. Kitchen equipment was decent. Bed linens were fine. Pretty good location. Like with most rentals we have stayed in, there is quite a bit of wear and tear. If you don’t want to worry about messing anything up, you would be fine here. We prefer a nicer place that is well cared for.

Sea Ranch Rental

This home is in a nice quiet cul de sac. You are 100 yards from the beach trail. You have blue water views. You have a lot of wildlife viewings; resident fox, deer, egrets, smaller birds. Close access to Del Mar Rec. Close to Gualala. Good size. The washer and dryer work well. Bed linens were clean. Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Soap provided. Good hot tub towels Hulu streaming is provided.

Paradise on the bluffs

Our family of five (and our dog) loved our stay in this gorgeous, comfortable seaside house. We went for long walks, played board games, cuddled up on the couches for movies, and read tons of books. The fireplace churned out a lot of heat and made the house feel cozy. We cooked all our own meals and I would say that if you like to do the same thing, you should bring your own knives. The house could use a couple more serving bowls/platters. But otherwise the kitchen is reasonably well appointed for a vacation rental. Loved that there was a basket of clean beach towels near the front door, which we used even in January because our fearless children insisted in running in the waves (in long pants) and getting a little wet and sandy. It helped to dry them all off outside so we would track only minimal sand into the house. We would absolutely stay here again.

Slight Improvements and Rating would be 5 star

Ocean views, although through dirty windows, and hearing the crashing waves was wonderful! It was also very quiet and relaxing. The bed in the Primary bedroom was very comfy, but the bathrooms are very Basic, and no Grab Bars! Big Kitchen had great views, but no Blinds to shade the afternoon sun. I cooked dinner early after the first day of sweating and not being able to see dials etc. due to the blinding sun! Beware of Ants, seal and double seal your food, and don't leave anything out! Some bath towels were threadbare, we used the Spa towels which were Big and absorbent. Careful on the back decks where Spa and BBQ are, nails poking through and uneven planks are a trip hazard. TSR is quiet and relaxing, lots of trails to the ocean bluffs, lots of birds, deer, quail and a few night critters. Heard an Owl and saw evidence of Raccoons raiding trash cans! Overall, with a few minor improvements, a Nice Vacation. Thai Restaurant in Point Arena, good! St Orres & Vue kitchen very Good! Surf Market has plenty of groceries, and a great Meat, prepared foods and deli counter! Two Fish Bakery at Stewarts Point, about 8 miles south of TSR, is Outstanding, their Sticky Buns are the Bomb!

Needs updates

Pros- Upon arrival this home was very clean and has a nice layout. Dogs are allowed and that was a plus for our 2 families. There were even some dog bowls for feeding. The washer and dryer are very large capacity. The deck also has a nice layout, a gas BBQ, and a lovely hot tub. Lots of stairs though so beware if you have older folks. The living room is elevated with lots of windows providing partial ocean views. Quite beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies, some spices, (salt, oregano, etc) and 2 large coffee makers, but no Keurig which is pretty commonplace in many hotels/motels/vacation homes. It is a close walk to the beach, the Del Mar Rec center is just about a mile away, and it is only about 3 miles to Gualala. Beach towels are included and there is a sleeper sofa in the room with the single Queen bed but no sheets for it. Cons-King bdrm does not have the additional TV options, only Samsung TV. (a minor thing) Many of the windows around the home "stick" and are difficult to open. Bathrooms are smallish and need some updates. Toilets are low-flush and you must hold down the handle for a few seconds to get everything to go down. Couches and mattresses are worn. End seats on couch lean inward towards the middle. Sides of mattresses are soft-edged. Teapot is old and bottom of teapot "gunk" kind of gets in your water. All bedrooms have just lamp lighting so it's a bit dim if you are trying to get ready in there. Also, master bdrm does not have a mirror in there so for getting ready in the morning, you will have to wait your turn for the bathroom. Bedrooms, (esp master bdrm) are all VERY BRIGHT in the morning. Master bdrm has a skylight right over the bed. There are no black-out curtains in any of the rooms and I found myself waking up before 7am each day WITH an eye mask on. Lastly, there were a couple of holes in the wall. One near the front door, and one in the 2nd bathroom, creepily located right across from the toilet. All-in-all we had a nice time here and were happy that it was clean and we could have our dogs. But we all agreed we would not stay here again unless there are some updates.

Great location, but the house needs some TLC.

The location is wonderful, but the house is really starting to look run down. The furniture and rug need to be professionally cleaned. The kitchen cabinets need to be replaced or refaced. The flooring on the steps leading up to the TV area is cracked in multiple places and is a tripping hazard. More fans need to be provided because the front room gets very warm in the afternoon, and the room with the double bed needs a fan because it doesn't have any windows to open for ventilation (it has a french door, but no screen to keep out bugs and other critters. The dishes did not get very clean from the dishwasher, and yet they were put back into the cabinets.

Great Location, Nice Dog Friendly House

Overall, very nice house in great location close to Walk On beach that allows dogs and has ability to charge e-vehicle. My 80 year old mother had some difficulty with the stairs but managed. House had everything we needed and a nice, big kitchen with great views. The living area is very comfortable and cozy for watching the sunset. Just a few issues that I will list here so they can be addressed by owner/property manager: ants everywhere especially in bedrooms and bathrooms. Seems like they are being treated as most ants were dead or dying. Burners on right side of gas stove cannot be adjusted to low levels. Kitchen sink faucet sprays all over, switch to adjust spray seems to malfunction inconsistently. Unable to adjust TV volume with remote.

Family vacation

Loved the location. Nice hiking trails to the beach. Not to far from the recreation center where the pool was. Beautiful pool. We did drive about 5 miles to the Moonraker recreation center where there were really nice Pickleball courts . My 7 year old grandson enjoyed playing pickleball. Did not have any problems getting on the courts. Town was short distance away where a art festival was being held. Grocery store was also in town. Did not try any of the Resturants in the area, next time. The kitchen at the property was supplied well with pots and pans plus a grill. We cooked all our meals at the house. My daughters and their family really enjoyed the house. Very spacious. We would come again.

The house is nicely prepared. Conveniently located on the North end of Sea ranch. If you require a blender, bring your own because there is not one on the property. Otherwise it says fully equipped as you would need.

Comfortable and pet friendly.

We stayed for 3 nights along with our senior Dachshund. Home was comfortable but dated and a bit worn. Kitchen was well appointed, HULU available and lots of games and DVDs. Hot tub was hot and clean. Quiet neighborhood and short walk to the Bluff trails. First night a fox cruised by the property, barn swallows were nesting in the covered porch outside of the dining room which was fun to watch. Excellent lounging area on the loft area with beautiful ocean and field views.
