Visitors will find themselves ideally located close to Shell Beach. 2 outdoor parking spaces will be available to ensure a spot for your vehicle.

Enter into two living room areas. This space is brightened by large windows creating natural lighting and a scenic view. The main living room is furnished with a sectional couch placed around a fireplace. This sets a cozy ambiance while you curl up with a good book. The second, adjacent living space has shelving with games and books. Direct TV service and high-speed fiberoptic WiFi are also provided for family entertainment. A futon resides against the wall and can additionally be pulled out as additional bedding. A washer and dryer are handily near the kitchen for longer stays or swimsuits.

There are updated appliances and a generous amount of counter space for a chef in the kitchen. Guests are encouraged to keep a conversation going with the chef in the kitchen by taking one of the two seats at the built-in breakfast bar. Alongside this dining space, the dining table is steps away with seating for 8. When dinner is ready to be served, call everyone over to eat a homemade meal together.

Fire up the gas BBQ to grill something tasty. Patio furniture and a table are arranged for you to dine, drink, and unwind outside. Be sure to sit out here during the golden hour and watch a mesmerizing sunset disappear behind the horizon.

Very comfortable house with plenty of space. Great location close to shell beach!

the house was bright and airy, and sleeps many with still feeling like there is privacy. We would definitely stay here again!

House was fine and housed our family comfortably. Standard "rental" furniture which needs some upgrading as well as some of the rooms needed painting or sheet rock repairs. Heat in master bedroom did not work well. The master bedroom got uncomfortably hot in comparison to the rest of the house and could only be adjusted by opening and closing the windows. Also, the house is advertised on different social media sites as both accommodating 7 and 10 people-so which is it?
10.0 / 10.0
Great location! The house provided plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our family of 10, ranging in age from 1 to 71. We did have to do some quick baby-proofing due to all of the breakables at eye-level. The main kitchen light wasn't working and was too high for us to check the bulb. Some working nightlights would have been helpful for the little ones. Too late check-in and too-early check-out and soooo many (often conflicting) rules. Overall, though, a very nice family weekend stay.

House was very nice with only a 15 minute walk to the beach, private with beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend it.
8.0 / 10.0
Not recommended for older adults who need to rise in the night to use the restroom. The master is palatial, bedroom 2 is average-sized, and the loft rooms are tiny, not very private, and the bathroom- shared amongst all 3 of the smaller bedrooms- is a perilous trip down metal spiral stairs. The sink taps need repair or replacement, the fireplace isn’t working, the wooden lawn chairs featured as the cover of the listing were not in evidence, and it’s an 8-minute walk to the trail head leading down to the ocean which is another 8-10 minutes away.
6.0 / 10.0
Overall a good experience. The house is spacious and in good condition. Note that the two upstairs bedrooms are lofts without doors that close so not a lot of privacy. No beach towels but the kitchen had lots of equipment for cooking. There is a table and chairs on the front deck but no umbrella for shade. Check in involved going to the management company’s office in Gualala to pick up the key (and drop it off again at check-out) - seems very unnecessary as the key could have been left in the lockbox next to the front door. Not related to the house, per se, but the restaurant options in Sea Ranch/Gualala are extremely limited and overall, not that great. The high point was Two Fish Bakery in Stewart’s Point - delicious bread, baked goods and sandwiches.
8.0 / 10.0
A very well equipped home: multiple types of coffee makers, crockpot, tons of glassware and dishes, even a couple sizes of wetsuits! Was surprised there were no beach chairs though—those would have been very nice to have. All the beds were very comfortable and the towels and linens were plentiful. The Sea Ranch community is beautiful and serene. Gorgeous coastal landscape with so much wildlife and the walking/hiking trails are everywhere. Easy access to the beach but if you’re going for a “beach day” you’ll need to drive if you have gear to carry. As a matter of fact, this was a very car-centric trip. Lots of driving to get to the community pool, get into the nearest town for groceries, etc. If you have room, try to get groceries in Santa Rosa, Petaluma (depending on where you’re coming from) because prices are understandably sky high in Gualala and if you can stock up before you arrive then less driving back and forth into town. The community pool/tennis courts were great! Never too crowded and the multiple saunas were a real treat.
