About this house rental
Summary:
A short walk connects your front door to the bluff trail and the Pacific. Three bedrooms sleep up to 7 in this updated Sea Ranch home with two furnished decks, partial ocean views, a wood-burning stove, a jetted-tub room, and a ping pong game room — and your dog is welcome. The Del Mar Recreation Center's heated pool and courts are a one-minute walk.
The Space:
Breathe in the fresh ocean air at this three-bedroom Sea Ranch retreat — two furnished decks, partial ocean views, and the Del Mar Recreation Center's outdoor heated pool, tennis, pickleball, and saunas a one-minute walk away. Multiple Bluff Trail access points sit within a short walk of the property, the Sea Ranch Golf Links tee off one mile north, and downtown Gualala's groceries and galleries are three miles up the road.
While the exterior keeps that iconic Sea Ranch architecture, the interior is tastefully updated and full of warm natural woods, stainless steel appliances, and large windows framing ocean and meadow. Ease into the day with a soak in the standalone jetted-tub room, carry coffee to a furnished deck, watch birds and wildlife work the adjacent meadow, and take a sunset stroll to Walk On Beach before dinner in the elegant open kitchen. On foggy evenings, the wood-burning stove does what wood stoves do best.
Bring your pup along — this home welcomes 1 dog, and the bluff trails were made for morning walks together. A game room with a ping pong table settles any after-dinner debates, and bicycles are available for exploring the quiet Sea Ranch roads. From December through April, keep an eye on the horizon — gray whales migrate just offshore, and the decks make a fine viewing platform.

Guest Access:
From the kitchen to the deck, everything in this home is at your disposal. This home welcomes up to 1 dog -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.
The Neighborhood:
Welcome to The Sea Ranch -- ten miles of rugged Sonoma coastline where modern architecture and wild nature exist in harmony. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (1-minute walk), Shell Beach tidepools (5-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (5-minute drive). Between the coastal trails, tidepools, heated pools, and The Sea Ranch Lodge's restaurant, you could fill a week without leaving the community. For provisions, Gualala (10 minutes north) has grocery stores, restaurants, and a gas station. Jenner and Bodega Bay are scenic drives south.
Getting Around:
This home sits on the west side of Highway 1, just around the corner from an outdoor heated pool, saunas, and two tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.
Other Things to Note:
You can even use the free WiFi as you relax by the fire.
Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.
Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.
Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
Welcome to bring one dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash while using the trails and clean up after them.

Very nice house. Clean and comfortable. Very good if you have kids or dogs.

Beautiful place to visit, we had a wonderful time. Had everything we needed in the house. It was lovely being able to sit back and watch our kids play outside!

A cozy and convenient location.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
We spent a week in The Barn.
First the positive things: proximity to the recreation center (if you use that); plenty of kids toys and games, so if you come with a bunch of kids, this place is accommodating; the soaking tub is nice; dog friendly aspect is appreciated; architecture is interesting; both decks are sunny and the deck furniture is comfortable; the living room wood stove is nice and there's plenty of firewood.
Now the negative aspects: housekeeping could have done a much better job--there were dirty bowls in the drawers, refrigerator handles were sticky with residue, balls of pet hair behind the living room couch; master bedroom windows toward the ocean do not open--only the side window opens and it lets in highway noise; master bedroom gas fireplace does not operate; the adult bikes are not maintained and are dangerous to ride; the house location is line of sight to the highway and traffic noise is constant (this is clearly shown on the map so it's not an unknown negative aspect, only a heads up); DVD player was broken and Vacasa advised us to operate it with a butter knife; thermostat operation is frustrating and weird; there was no place at all to store food, so we had to store food on the counter and during the night the mice ate holes in our food containers so we had to throw it away--Vacasa advised us to store food in cupboards as a solution; mattress in second bedroom slopes steeply into the center of the bed. For these reasons, we will not be returning to The Barn.

"The house is lovely and spacious. It was very clean upon our arrival (no sign of any ants, as mentioned in other reviews). Very peaceful decks on two sides of the house, to enjoy the morning and after..."
