About this house rental

Summary:

Perched high on the Gualala cliffs with sweeping 180-degree ocean views, this seaside sanctuary is built for slowing down — sunrise coffee as the horizon glows, starlit soaks in the private hot tub, waves below as you fall asleep. Newly installed flooring freshens the open living space around the gas fireplace. Sleeps 7 in 3 bedrooms.



The Space:

Where the ocean meets the sky, your getaway begins!



Perched high on the cliffs of Gualala, this seaside sanctuary offers sweeping 180-degree ocean views that create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories. Imagine sipping sunrise coffee while the horizon glows, soaking in the private hot tub beneath a sky full of stars, and resting peacefully as the ocean’s waves lull you to sleep in cozy beds. Every detail here invites you to slow down, connect, and savor the beauty of the sea.



Inside, the home is designed for comfort and connection. Newly installed flooring in much of the home adds a fresh, modern touch, while the open living space invites everyone to gather around the gas fireplace. A Smart TV provides easy entertainment after long beach days, and the fully equipped kitchen — complete with a new dishwasher — makes it easy to cook meals together, whether it’s a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring or a relaxing dinner with the ocean as your soundtrack.



Outdoors, the two-level deck is made for both quiet reflection and family fun. Watch whales migrate in the distance, view hawks catching a drift up close, and enjoy the ever-changing colors of the Pacific.

This house was right on the ocean! It's was super clean and had everything you need for nice stay. The only down side is there is no available laundry. We used the hot tub every evening! It was a perfect way to unwind and relax! The view from the deck was stupid beautiful! You find yourself at a loss for words to describe the scene before you! Every sunset, a masterpiece! The bed was very comfortable. This was a perfect place to decompress and chill out!

This property was absolutely amazing! The posting did not do it justice. It was exactly what we needed for our mama’s weekend away.

We feel bad to leave a not so good review, BUT these are ALL easily fixable things. It is really a waste to have such a beautiful place and not show it off properly. My husband and I are not fussy people. We do not mind an older home as it has personality, as long as it is clean. We absolutely loved the hot tub, but the plexiglass that goes around the hot tub was absolutely filthy! It looked like it had not been cleaned in a while with bird droppings running down the side, webs and just plain dirty. Why??? THAT is the main selling point of the home - the amazing view! Then the windows in the house looking out onto the ocean were all filthy as well. The real shocker that we discovered after a few days was pulling out a couple of kitchen drawers to find rodent poop and active traps in the drawers! WTH! We understand that rodents can be a problem, but having poop in a kitchen drawer and traps not removed before guests arrive? The other thing was that the two couches in the livingroom were extremely broken down and need to be replaced. Again, these are such simple inexpensive fixes that would greatly improve the experience for your guests. My husband and I would come back to stay if these things were addressed. Other than that, we really loved the view, hot tub, privacy, etc. Just please give that place a thorough cleaning and for goodness sakes, clean the windows to show off that view! Did not have communication with the manager, but had to complete that line.
