About this house rental
Summary:
Start the day with ocean views and end it in the private hot tub with the surf as your soundtrack. Four bedroom suites sleep 8 in this fully remodeled Sea Ranch home about 300 yards from Shell Beach — with four desks and fiber internet for remote-work stints and a 65-inch family-room TV downstairs. A pet-free home.
The Space:
Just steps from Shell Beach, this hundred-percent remodeled Sea Ranch home pairs ocean views with a private hot tub — a NorCal getaway with room for the whole crew. The top floor holds the kitchen, dining, and living room where the views live; downstairs, a central family room with a 65-inch TV becomes movie-night headquarters, with complimentary YouTube TV, Netflix, and Disney+ through the Bahari House login.
The four bedrooms run in a suite layout (pun intended), and the home is quietly serious about remote work: four desks and fiber internet mean two couples or a multi-generation family can each carve out calls and quiet time without competing for space. A coffee bar, board games, and puzzles round out the common areas.
Evenings belong to the hot tub — ocean air, the famously dark Sea Ranch sky, and the surf as your soundtrack. Shell Beach is an easy few-minute walk (about 300 yards), the Sea Ranch Golf Links are 3 miles away, and your recreation pass opens the community pools, saunas, and courts. Mornings, take coffee to the top floor as the light moves across the water; in whale season (December through April), the horizon delivers spouts and breaches without you leaving the couch.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Four bedrooms with queen beds, plus additional sleeping across 4 twin beds and 2 bunk beds. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 8.

Guest Access:
From the kitchen to the deck, everything in this home is at your disposal. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. 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:
Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include Shell Beach tidepools (3-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (3-minute drive), community heated pool (North) (4-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. Stock up in Gualala, just 10 minutes south, where you'll find grocery stores, restaurants, a hardware store, and gas. Bodega Bay is a beautiful drive for fresh seafood.
Getting Around:
Bahari House is in north Sea Ranch, 300 yards from Shell Beach, five miles from Gualala, and about 55 miles from Mendocino. 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:
Pet-free home -- no pets of any kind, please. Thank you for respecting this rule.
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.
Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

This home was perfect for our group. It was actually better than the online pictures Convey. The view from the kitchen was awesome, and the kitchen is well stocked. We are a bunch of chefs, so that is saying a lot! The knives were even decent (but I still brought my own! Haha) I normally bring my own kitchen supplies, pots, pans, etc. but this was completely unnecessary with this home. I would definitely rent this place again. It’s a stones throw from the beach and seal viewing area. Downstairs are all the beds and bathrooms and upstairs the living area and kitchen. A very comfortable stay for the 6 of us.

We let our California adult children choose the Sea Ranch location for our annual Spring Break celebration, located between our son’s East Bay home and our daughter’s Humboldt home base. The sparkling clean beach house was filled with everything we needed to cook, eat, play, soak, and rest after hours spent on the paths and beaches only a stone’s throw distance from our home away from home. A special treat was the educational value of the Seal Nursery docent program, providing quiet monitoring and unobtrusive learning experiences for all ages.The Sea Ranch residents were uniformly friendly and tolerant of our temporary invasion of their Happy Place. We would’ve enjoyed a grill, but understand the need to protect the peaceful environment that defines Sea Ranch.

This is a lovely home that has been completely updated and refreshed. It is bright, cheerful and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and organized. It has great white water views for a home that is not on the bluff. Only 2 minute walk to Shell beach. We would appreciate a king size bed but the queen was comfortable. We would also appreciate it if the wood boxes for the fireplace were stocked but I know that is next level. :) I have stayed in a dozen Sea Ranch homes and this was so new and fresh and we really appreciated how comfortable it was. I highly recommend this home.

We stay in Sea Ranch at least once a year. This was our favorite property so far! It was decorated so tastefully and fully stocked with everything we needed. We had a group of two adults and five teenagers. The hot tub was wonderful and there was lots of games for us to play. The place is more beautiful in person, and the views were to die for . We saw at least five deer every day in the front yard, tons of quails, bunny rabbits, and hawks We can’t wait to come back here again next year!
