About this house rental
Summary:
The ocean is your backyard -- hear the waves from every room in this coastal haven. Curl up under a cozy blanket as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Warm up in the community sauna after a brisk beach walk. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 9-minute walk to the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Cormorants dive and otters float just offshore -- nature's channel plays 24/7 from the windows.
The Space:
A serene and private getaway awaits you and yours at this modern, seaside home. Sweeping vistas of splashing waves will fill your vision from the open living room. Complete with ample seating, a large TV, this space is perfect for morning cups of coffee, relaxing afternoon hangouts, and late-night movie viewings. Steps from here, the chef's kitchen positively gleams with its granite countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. Indulge in your culinary creations gathered around the breakfast nook.
Curated for your comfort, the primary suite is soaked in sun and features a spa-like en suite bathroom. Relish moments of self-care while rinsing off in the enormous walk-in shower. The home's additional bedrooms are just welcoming with soft linens, warm wood finishes, and plenty of natural lighting. The interior perks extend to a private washer/dryer and internet access.
Outside, not only will you have access to a pleasant yard and ocean-view balcony, but also to the community's shared pool, sauna, tennis court, and basketball court. Gualala Bluff Trail, Shell Beach, Gualala Arts Center, and Sea Ranch Golf Links are all located mere minutes away.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Spread out across 3 bedrooms -- the master features a king bed for a truly restful night. Additional sleeping includes 2 queen beds. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 6.
PROPERTY AMENITIES
-- 3 bedrooms, 3 bath + 1 half bath
COMMUNITY AMENITIES (at Sea Ranch recreation centers)
-- Heated pools and saunas (at Del Mar, Moonraker, and Ohlson rec centers)
-- Tennis and pickleball courts (at rec centers)
-- Miles of coastal bluff trails
Guest Access:
Step inside and settle in -- every room and amenity in this home is yours for your stay. 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:
The Sea Ranch is a one-of-a-kind coastal community on the Sonoma Coast, where miles of trails wind through meadows, forests, and along ocean bluffs. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (9-minute walk), Shell Beach tidepools (7-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (7-minute drive). Explore over Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails, discover tidepools at low tide, swim in heated community pools, and end the day with dinner at The Sea Ranch Lodge. Gualala is a quick 10-minute walk south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.
Getting Around:
Plan for a 2.5-hour drive from San Francisco (Highway 101 to Highway 1). If flying, Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) is the closest option at about 90 minutes east. You'll want a car here -- the winding coastal roads are half the adventure.
Other Things to Note:
Fireplace is not available for guest use. Garage is off access and not available for guest use. 2 cars can fit in the driveway
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.
December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Very well stocked kitchen with utensils and cookware. We’ve been staying at Sea Ranch for more than 45 years and have rented hundreds of homes, most of them on the bluff. White Water is one of the best places we’ve been. The only drawback was being able to burn only waxed paper logs.

Perfect Sea Ranch getaway.

Great house with amazing views. Kitchen well stocked.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Great oceanfront location at this nicely appointed home. A little path out back door takes you right to the bluff trail. Kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped compared to most rentals; think gram scale, Silpats, burr grinder, storage containers, spices, etc. My one wish would be a grill, even if electric. There must have been one at some point in the past because there are quite a few oversized grilling tools.
Del Mar pool is nearby, and Gualala, with two great grocery stores, is a 3min drive north.
Had to partake of live Tour de France on TV; plenty of apps for streaming including Peacock.
