    BEFORE YOU BOOK

    Our goal is complete transparency so there are no surprises.



    If you have questions about accessibility, traveling with children, bringing dogs, or any feature of the home, please ask before booking. We're happy to provide additional measurements, photographs, or information to help you determine whether Abalone Bay is the right fit for your stay.



    SAFETY & COASTAL ENVIRONMENT

    Sea Ranch Abalone Bay is located in the internationally recognized coastal community of The Sea Ranch, where homes are thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape. Sharing this remarkable environment also means understanding and respecting its unique characteristics.



    Ocean Bluffs & Sneaker Waves

    The home is located approximately 25 feet from ocean bluffs with drops of about 40 feet to the rocks and Pacific Ocean below. Bluff edges and nearby trails are not fenced.



    ✓ Good to Know: Children and pets must be closely supervised outdoors. Please stay on designated trails and never turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves can occur without warning and can sweep adults and children into the sea.



    Wildlife

    One of the joys of The Sea Ranch is its abundant wildlife. During your stay, you may see deer, wild turkeys, hawks, rabbits, raccoons, lizards, snakes, native insects, grazing sheep or goats used for vegetation management, and occasionally horseback riders on community trails.

    Professional pest control is provided inside the home.



    ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING

    A 120V outlet and 240V receptacle are available in the garage.



    ✓ Good to Know: Guests must provide their own compatible charging cable or adapter. Guests are responsible for any damage resulting from incompatible equipment or improper use.



    SECURITY DEPOSIT & GUEST RESPONSIBILITY

    We collect a $500 refundable security deposit separately before arrival.



    ✓ Good to Know: The deposit is fully refundable following inspection, provided there is no damage beyond normal wear, missing items, excessive cleaning, HOA fines, or charges resulting from violations of the Rental Agreement or published house rules. Guests are responsible for damage caused by themselves, members of their party, invited visitors, children, and pets.



    OUR COMMITMENT

    We believe informed guests have the best vacations. If you have questions about accessibility, the coastal environment, traveling with children or pets, or whether Sea Ranch Abalone Bay is the right fit for your stay, please ask before booking. We're always happy to provide additional information, measurements, or photographs so you can book with confidence.



    ✓ Good to Know: Wildlife and insects are a natural part of the coastal environment. While we promptly address concerns inside the home, wildlife in surrounding open space, trails, neighboring properties, and the Pacific Ocean is beyond our control and is not grounds for cancellation, refund, or relocation.



    EXTERIOR SECURITY

    For guest and property security, exterior cameras monitor the front entrance, driveway, and rear trail entrance.



    ✓ Good to Know: There are no cameras inside the home or within the private courtyard. Tampering with security equipment may result in immediate termination of the reservation without refund, as permitted by the Rental Agreement.



    TRIP INSURANCE

    We strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance for your peace of mind.

Beyond Wonderful

Abalone Bay was the most wonderful home I've stayed in - the ocean views, the proximity to the bluff trail, the gorgeous interior and setup, and Donna's proactive communication were all well beyond expectations. I can't recommend this home enough and hope to return in the very near future. We are so grateful Donna shared her home with us!

Wonderful property, wonderful hosts

This house is beautiful, the property is as well. Right on the coast, exactly as pictured. It’s about a 40-60 minute lovely walk to the lodge for coffee and snacks- the trail along the water at Sea Ranch is one of the best parts! Donna, the host, was extremely responsive and has been wonderful - we left something important at the house and she helped locate it and get it back to us. Will definitely be coming back!

Abalone is next level for a wonderful stay at Sea Ranch. Donna goes over and beyond to communicate and make the home feel so special. This is no ordinary rental- it’s in beautiful condition and the location is one of the best. The kitchen is well stocked from a crock pot to a waffle iron and the jacuzzi is in a perfect location to soak in all the stars.

First class relaxation!

This is our second stay at Abalone Bay and the first since the renovations. The home was amazing before but it is now even more gorgeous and the views--spectacular! The home is stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal, books to read, games to play, etc. The hot tub was so relaxing and the home is located right on the bluff for easy access to enjoy walks and the sunset. The host, Donna, is available for any questions and truly cares that you have a wonderful experience. We can't wait to return more more comfort, relaxation, and incredible views.

Perfect for our intergenerational family with adult children and dog- gorgeous view and location

Abalone Bay was perfect for our family of 6 including our young adult children and our dog. We've been to Sea Ranch many times and this house was by far the best, for many reasons: location and view, light, and setup for a family and couples. The view from the living room was amazing- a cypress tree and the ocean with sufficient privacy from those walking by the ocean. The enclosed courtyard was perfect for our dog to go outside safely. We spent our time on the trails and playing games in the living room. Very tastefully decorated too. Donna is very helpful and responsive. I am mobility impaired and while the house is not formally ADA, it met my needs well as someone who uses a walker and wheelchair and has help- ask if you need more details. All in all, a wonderful, peaceful time and we would love to return.

Another fun stay at Abalone Bay

Abalone Bay has become our favorite place to stay in Sea Ranch. To start with, it allows dogs and has a fenced in area for them to play. Our dog loves coming back. Beyond being a great place for dog lovers, it is located right on the bluff trail, has great views of the ocean for whale watching, and has a very well equipped kitchen with just about anything you need while staying there. Donna, the owner, provides a professionally done guide book that suggests where to eat, hike, fish, go for entertainment, and answers questions regarding operating anything in the house. One of the most important things to us is that although it allows dogs, the home is very clean with no dog smells.

A perfect place to enjoy the beauty of The Sea Ranch

It's hard to say what I love and loved about Abalone Bay. It is pretty much everything. I believe this was our 6th visit. Does that say anything? The home is well taken care of and lovely. The view is stunning and relaxing. Our weather was a changing Fall pattern: rain, sun and a windy day. We love it!!!! Try to leave time for lunch at the Lodge at Sea Ranch and enjoy the view there as well as the tomato soup and grilled cheese!

Christmas time at Sea Ranch

We decided to take a pre-Christmas vacation at Sea Ranch the third week of December. Upon arrival at Abalone Bay, my wife and I were very pleasantly surprised when we walked in and found the home fully decked out for Christmas including the tree, decorations, candles and even the place settings. The owners go out of their way to make the property feel like a home instead of a vacation rental…and it works! The location of Abalone Bay is special but the property is managed better than any other Sea Ranch property that we have stayed at. As a bonus, we had a day that was 75 degrees (in December!) and sunny with moderate winds providing for a perfect day for a long walk on the bluff with our dog, Bear.

Another relaxing stay at Abalone Bay

We have become a regular at Abalone Bay because it ticks all of the boxes. Being located on the ocean bluff is perfect for taking walks on the Sea Ranch trail and for viewing the sun disappearing into the ocean. Our dog loves it here because of the unique sights, sounds, and smells along the trail. The house is fully equipped having everything necessary for making a multi course dinner or just mixing a cocktail. Surf Market in Gualala has most of what you need for either. Our favorite places for breakfast are Trink’s Cafe in Gualala and Twofish Bakery in Stewart’s Point. Donna, the owner/property manager provides a guidebook that has everything you need to know about staying at Sea Ranch.

Staying here for the weekend with our family and our dogs was as comfortable as it would be if this were our own vacation home. Not kidding, the kitchen is better equipped than our kitchen at home; the decor is perfect for Sea Ranch, the location is beautiful, and every thing we needed for our weekend was here for us when we arrived. We have stayed at more than a few places in Sea Ranch, and this is the one we will use exclusively from now on. Really, really nice. And Donna was gracious and available for anything we needed (nothing!), and her instructions and online guide for Abalone Bay are complete and extremely useful. Overall grade: A
