The house and the views are stunning! We loved everything about the house ! Terry was very good at making us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything. We loved the beds , the Japanese styled toilets and the attention to details . Wonderful stay!

8.0 / 10.0

Incredible views and convenient location just outside town. Good layout and space for both time together and privacy. Lots of flies the whole week, even with doors and windows closed. Also, a bit of clutter including fake plants and “stuff” in every drawer and cabinet. Overall we had a great stay and would consider retuning. Hosts are great.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful house, right on the sea with sweeping views of the Pacific. You can enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the hot tub, the back yard, or right from the living room/bedrooms. The house is nicely updated with a cozy charm. The charming towns of Gualala and Sea Ranch are easily accessible from the property.

Lovely house with fantastic views. Well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. Hot tub and massage chair were a nice bonus. Conveniently located…Close to beaches, hiking and restaurants. Thanks for sharing. It was a great week.

What a beautiful home for our family getaway! The first thing you see when entering the home is The View! Wow! The view of the ocean and the coastline is amazing. We enjoyed watching at least a dozen pelicans swooping along, as well as deer in the morning. The house is clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the furnishing and decor are just right. We soaked in the hot tub as we watched the sunset and the stars coming out at night. The beach was cool and breezy while we were there, but renting kayaks from Riverbend Kayaks we discovered that the Gualala River had perfect calm weather and smooth water for kayaking - highly recommend. Also, the Pt. Arena Lighthouse is a good place to check out. Communication with the host was great. Terry sent a message after we arrived to make sure that we were happy and had everything we needed.

10.0 / 10.0

What a gorgeous home! The views were magnificent and everything about the house was just perfect for a relaxing, restorative, cozy weekend at the Coast. Our communications with both Terry and Megan were warm and friendly, the house was spotless on arrival, and truly comfortable to just hang out in. If you are looking for a perfect house on the Coast, this is it.

There were a few issues that needed to be handled upon check in. We contacted the property manager and the owner, and the items were taken care of. The house was clean. The kitchen appliances were high quality; however, the pots and pans need to be upgraded as well. We made do but would have been easier with better things. This is not out of line with other VRBO properties we have rented. It is too bad more owners don't spend the money or take stock of the kitchen equipment. That being said we had a great time, and the view was great even though we had fog every day but one. Not the owner's fault. If you are going to spend time on the coast this might be the place to rent.

10.0 / 10.0

We had an amazing time we normally stay in Fort Bragg area which I have done my entire life and had never been south of Albion along the coast. This area was not nearly as busy even on the weekend which was great! The home is everything as advertised and then some! This was our first time brining pets and it was 100% accommodating they enjoyed themselves as well. We will be booking this home again later this year. We also seen lots of whales from the back porch heading north. We highly recommend!!!

10.0 / 10.0

We loved staying at Castlerock. Obviously lets start with the views. You really can't turn around without seeing the ocean. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean at sunset honestly felt like the best treat you could ever have. Sitting outside in the morning, drinking coffee with the ocean was magical. The waves are constant and lull you to sleep and keep the peace. The house is well stocked, the kitchen is super user friendly and labeled nicely. Thank you for the binoculars and telescope to try to catch whales and the clearest stars. We felt at home!

10.0 / 10.0

Absolutely wonderful home. If this place were a clover it would have five leaves. Everything we wanted in a NorCal coastal trip. Beautiful views, great beaches nearby, convenient local shopping, restaurants and perfect amenities at the house. The beautiful decks, ample Adirondack style chairs, and a perfectly peaceful hot tub at night looking up at a star-filled sky. There isn't really any way to get better than this unless a butler were involved. We want to go back here again and again.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved this place. Was super clean and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked (though spice cupboard could use a cleaning). The parking was easy and the location was very central to Gualala. But THE VIEW is the reason you stay here. It’s amazing. And the super clean hot tub on the deck watching the sunset is perfection. My only caveat that I would mention for others is that it’s not in a great walking area ( unless you want to walk to town). But all in all a gem of a home and would love to stay at again! Terry, the host, was very accommodating and communicative. It was a great vacation!

If you are looking for a great place to get away from it all and relax this is it. The cliffside view is amazing and perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to make great meals. The bidets were a nice added touch. The locals were very friendly. A great stay all around.

Terrys house and property were absolutely beautiful. Comfortably slept 8, and check in and check out were smooth and communicative. The view from the house is indescribable. Only question is why Terry doesn’t live here full time! Thank you so much Terry for such a memorable getaway. We appreciate you!

10.0 / 10.0

Ideal location super accessible to Gualala, Sea Ranch Lodge and even 2 Fish Bakery, just a bit further! Creative interior design and well outfitted kitchen. The only strange design flaw is that the 2nd floor bedroom, which I'd call the Master bedroom, doesn't have a shower, so you need to go downstairs. Excellent communication with owner!

10.0 / 10.0

This is a beautiful home in an amazing location. We had the most relaxing time, exploring the area, playing games, doing puzzles. The only downside was that our stay was too short! We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful Home! Comfy linens, well equipped kitchen and many thoughtful touches. The ocean is magical. I was celebrating my 69 th birthday with grown up kids and we all were impressed. Our stay was a 5 star experience.

10.0 / 10.0

The property and view is even better than in the pictures. The hosts are also incredibly hospitable and made every part of our stay easy and memorable. This stay was far better managed and cared for than any professionally managed property we’ve stayed at. The hosts love their home and it shows. We felt so comfortable and didn’t want to leave. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is welll stocked, the heating and fireplace work great, and everything was up to date. Our only two (tiny) flags are that it would be even better if the shrubs out front would be trimmed slightly to obstruct less of the view and I failed to realize that the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a shower (guests have to go downstairs to shower). Regardless of the those two points we will most definitely book here again and can’t complain. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The views are incredible. We had deer come by every morning. Terry is a super host! The special added touches like disposable slippers, make-up wipes, Aveeno lotion, etc. just made it feel like a 5-star hotel. The communication between Terry and Megan was outstanding. The home is comfortable, very clean with nice furnishings and the kitchen is well stocked with every item you would need including a Brita pitcher. My family will definitely be returning to this home in the future if available.

Fabulous stay even with losing power for a couple of hours. View of the Pacific was spectacular! Bushes in front of living room window could be trimmed to increase the view of the ocean!

This property is in an incredible location, and we loved taking in the views every day. The property itself is really nice and well maintained. We had a really peaceful stay without any issues, and the host was very communicative and helpful. One feature that I don't recall seeing in the listing are the heated toilet seat/bidets in the downstairs bathrooms. It was a surprising perk that makes the place feel just that little bit more luxurious.

10.0 / 10.0

We were thrilled with everything this home had to offer. We were welcomed by seashell chocolates on the dining table, which was a nice touch. The views are breathtaking and the property is very private. I was pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by two fawns as we unloaded the car. It is always nice to have a gorgeous place to visit that will accommodate the entire family from our 2 year old daughter to my 84 year old mother and furbaby. We were impressed by the changing table and high chair we gladly used for our toddler. There were also some pet supplies and a dog bed under the stairs. Additionally the home comes with warm robes and slippers, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, makeup wipes and Qtips, boardgames and fans if you get warm or like them to sleep. I know i can pack less in future visits because they have thought if everything! The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, Keurig/Coffee pot, tea kettle, utensils and seasonings, coffee, Kcups, tea. We liked that we could cook our breakfast each morning. There is a great market down the street that also offers delicious BBQ on the weekends. Trinks Cafe is a gem and kid/dog friendly. We ate at Sea Ranch Lodge for our anniversary dinner and took a drive to Point Arena Lighthouse the next day. We tried to use the massage chair and hot tub often. We appreciate the host being so responsive and accomodating a last minute change to our travel dates. Thank you for the memories. We will definitely be BACK!!!

Forget any anxiety of wondering if the home will be as good as the photos. It is. Only better because the photos can't describe the sound of the waves and the feeling of flying as you sit, watching sunsets, on the literal edge of America. In addition, the layout affords plenty of privacy, kitchen has everything you need and more, and it is a welcoming home (not a soulless rental). Without hesitation I recommend this place to my friends. What an amazing place!

I booked this amazing home for my daughter and her husband for their honeymoon. They absolutely loved everything about the home - incredible Pacific views, great house design to take in the views, clean, comfortable, quaint town with wonderful restaurants. Can’t say enough about how much they enjoyed their stay. Terry was a fabulous host and made them feel welcome and comfortable. His website had great recommendations for activities and restaurants and he was super responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this home! Thank you Terry!!

This house is in a quaint little town, with beautiful beaches within minutes. Kayaking, hiking and the ocean all around you. A half dozen great restaurants and an awesome grocery store the Surf. Our family had a great time and the views of the ocean from the house, the back yard and the hot tub our incredible. The sunsets were spectacular and the sounds of the waves soothing. We will be back to this house top notch!

We had a wonderful time at Terry's home. The home was immaculately clean and has the most breathtaking views of the ocean. The surroundings are peaceful and relaxing, and there is a grocery store just minutes away so that we could use the beautiful kitchen and dining room to make meals. The hot tub was wonderful, overlooking the ocean. Terry was very communicative, helpful, and kind. Our only regret was not having rented this home longer!

I had four friends for a getaway birthday stay. The listing was amazing for a relaxing time away. The view from this location is unbeatable. Our favorite spot was sitting out back watching the ocean. We saw deer, seals, and whales all from the comfort of our chairs. The owner and property manager were easy to get in touch with and responded to any questions/concerns we had. The massage chair is such a relaxing extra perk. I would love to stay here again in the future.

We were visiting the coast from our home in the Bay Area, with three generations - from grandkids to grandparents. We all had an incredibly relaxing time at this property. The host (Terry) was responsive to my messages and gave me great pointers for exploring this gorgeous section of the Northern California coast. In terms of the home, we loved the views from the rooms, the grill was nice and clean and situated in a pretty garden area, and the hot tub was nice and clean and worked well. The views were straight out into the Pacific Ocean. There were bathrobes provided that we used to make our way to the hot tub, as it was a bit chilly when we visited. We thought that was a nice touch, one we hadn’t experienced before at a VRBO. The home is situated right on the bluff, so the sounds of the ocean were ever present and quite soothing. There were great walks along the ocean just minutes away and a nice Mexican restaurant we all walked to. We’ll definitely be back!

I looked at a lot of rentals in the area and this one had caught my eye. The description of the property matched, and the view of the ocean throughout the entire house was breathtaking. The hot tub was clean, the furniture was in immaculate condition. I can’t wait to bring my family back up and I will be booking this house again!

The views of the waves and rocks are breathtaking. Whale watching by the fire-awesome! Brown pelicans and cormorants on the rocks and tons of seabirds. It was lovely, lovely, lovely. The house is beautifully appointed, clean, spacious and inviting. The beds are super comfy and the bedding top notch. It’s a honey of a kitchen with light, space, a ton of seating and a view. Terry communicated with us efficiently and warmly and anticipated all of our needs. We lacked nothing. The house and Terry contributed to a relaxing, memorable vacation that we will absolutely repeat. What a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to return.
