About this house rental
Summary:
A short walk to a tree-lined trail connects your front door to the bluffs and the Pacific. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Curl up by the wood burning stove as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Room for 7 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 1-minute walk to the Del Mar Recreation Center with a heated community pool, saunas, community garden and tennis courts. Trails, tidepools, pickleball courts, golf and two heated community pools -- all within reach. The rugged Sonoma coastline unfolds from the deck -- raw, dramatic, and endlessly watchable.
The Space:
Breathe in the fresh ocean air at this three-bedroom Sea Ranch retreat—a charming escape with two decks, partial ocean views, and shared recreation amenities just a short walk away: outdoor pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts and saunas. Take a breathtaking walk on the oceanfront Bluff Trail with multiple access points just a short walking distance from the property, tee off at the Sea Ranch Golf Links one mile north, and pick up groceries and peruse the eclectic art galleries in downtown Gualala three miles north.
While the exterior maintains that iconic Sea Ranch architecture, the interior is tastefully updated full of warm, natural woods, stainless steel appliances, and large windows that frame the ocean and meadows. Ease into the day with a soak in the standalone jetted tub room, bring your coffee outside to one of the furnished decks, watch birds and wildlife in the adjacent meadow and take sunset strolls to Walk On Beach before preparing dinner in the elegant open kitchen.

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.
Up to 1 dog is welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.

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..."
