One of Sonoma County's most in-demand vacation rentals is waiting to welcome you for a truly unforgettable Sea Ranch stay! Designed by famed architect William Turnbull, this exposed timber frame 'Binker Barn' offers a private oasis nestled on a one-acre lot just east of Highway 1 that features scenic ocean views and lush forest surroundings on three sides. An enclosed garden filled with native trees, flowers, and serene statues exudes a zen-like ambiance. A commanding ocean view provides the perfect complement to the private hot tub where you can see and hear the waves crash on the rocks while enjoying a soak.

Recent interior renovations blend seamlessly with the vintage Binker Barn aesthetic. Updates and improvements include a new gourmet kitchen and an ultra-modern primary bathroom complete with a spa-style shower boasting body sprayers and a rain shower head. A 49-inch smart TV and comfortable sofas provide a spot to stream shows and movies, there's also a central wood-burning fireplace and several cozy sitting areas positioned to take advantage of the home's amazing views. Additional perks include free WiFi and a private washer/dryer.

Overall condition of property was run-down and poorly maintained. Broken cupboards, missing paint, squeaky floors, hot tub with no jets/bubbles where we discovered a dead frog. Also the property had not been cleaned recently; dusty surfaces, not vacuumed, dead bugs everywhere, cobwebs, animal excrement on back deck as well as cigarette butts and empty beer bottle. Very dirty windows made it difficult to use binoculars or to see outside. Termite poop all over master bedroom dresser covering towels, caused by the termites in the ceiling. Loud popping noises from wood beams as house settled at night, all night. When I retrieved a spare blanket from the closet (because there is no central heating), I was upset to discover a live centipede hiding within.

I gave this five stars because overall, the property was great and peaceful and the right price for what it offered. The view out to the ocean is spectacular and the location was exactly what we needed. With that said, a few frustrating things that are good to know before you go (or book this property at all): -- the bunk bed is very high and it doesn't have a guard rail or a ladder. For children, it's basically a middle-of-the-night broken arm waiting to happen. We pulled the mattress down to the floor and it worked out fine. -- The studio heat does not work. You need to use the space heaters. When we plugged in the two that were available, it blew the fuse for the wall outlets. We ended up plugging in one to a different outlet and it worked out fine. I raised the issue but it was not addressed during our stay. -- we did find some mouse poop in the silverware drawer. Gross, but we didn't spot any critters during our stay. -- none of the the wall outlets in the kitchen along the counter space worked, we had to plug the toaster and coffee machine up on the other side of the room and sit them on the floor. -- no control over the hot tub. The temperature was fine though so not a huge deal. -- pay attention to the check in instructions for location of the Vacasa office. Putting the address given into Google maps sent me 10 minutes beyond Gualala and suggested I drive off a cliff. The instructions do have important details on exact location, ignore Google maps.

Be aware the cottage layout is not for every family, and the low windows made the home feel unsafe for young children. There were multiple spots where if you opened a window you could... fall down an entire story (both outside and inside, oddly). Unique space comfortable for adults, raw wood walls and deck meant splinters in fingers & toes. Fireplace is wood burning and its bring your own wood. Central heat is not offered to guests, and since it's an open layout, our foggy weekend was wet and cold inside (you have to tweak with minisplits, space heaters, and wall heaters, so again, fine for adults not ideal for kids.). We might come back without our kids.
8.0 / 10.0
We loved the quiet setting of the home with no surrounding homes or walking trails intruding on its privacy and large bank of windows with bench seats facing an oven view. Also, its nearness to the Sea Ranch Lodge for dining and to the hot spot area for hiking in the redwoods was appreciated as well.

Loved staying here! We all felt right at home. Gualala is such a beautiful place.
