About this house rental

Our house has two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have king size beds. It will accommodate 4 people. The large bathroom has two sinks and both a shower and a bath tub. The house is furnished with antiques and fine art.

It has views of the large meadow that the house is situated in and of the redwood forest behind the house. The meadow and the forest attract numerous animals and birds. You will see deer, quail, wild turkeys, rabbits, and the occasional fox. The birds love to come and circle in the air over the meadow. Ravens, blue jays, hawks, quail, and various small birds abound. The setting is quiet and calming.

Our house has two floors with the two bedrooms on the first floor and the living area upstairs. This provides a wonderful view reminiscent of a tree house. There are two televisions and wireless internet. There is a full size washer and dryer.

The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker and ample storage. It is equipped with dishes, cooking utensils, towels, etc. You do not need to bring anything with you other than your clothes and food.

There is a sunny deck outside and a hot tub adjacent to the deck. One of the private Sea Ranch trails is across the street and easily accessible for your hikes. This area of Sea Ranch abuts to a forested area that is undeveloped. The hillsides above are covered with trees and vegetation.

The large, heated Olympic swimming pool is .7 miles away and you can walk or drive. The dog park is 1/2 mile with a nice trail that you can walk on to get to it. The golf course is 1/4 mile to the clubhouse.

We are located very close to Gualala, a 5 minute drive away. You have easy access to the shopping, restaurants and sights of Gualala.

The coast is a short drive or about a 15 minute walk. There are numerous coves, beaches and tide pools to explore. We keep a trails map in the house so you can find your way around.

You will find our house to be a cozy comfortable place for your coastal stay.

My daughter, her partner, and I enjoyed our 5-day stay in Rich and Wanda's home. Located in a quiet area of Sea Ranch, near lovely trees and paths, their house is furnished comfortably with everything one needs for a cozy stay. We slept well in the big beds under warm duvet-covered comforters and pillows. Their kitchen has all the gear you might need to prepare an 8-course dinner to an afternoon snack, including things like a French press to brew coffee; a citrus press, and even a potato masher. There's a washer dryer with laundry soap provided, which came in handy after we came home a bit soaked from the rain. The hot tub was a special treat. Wanda and Rich have books, a mystery puzzle and games if you don't bring your own. They provide a landline which we didn't have to use, but it would be handy in an emergency if our cell phones didn't work. When it rained, I enjoyed looking out the windows and sketching while my daughter and her partner read or worked. Between the rains, we took walks on the trails, along the beach cliffs, and for my birthday my "kids" treated me to a visit at the B Bryan Ranch, a must see if you are interested in wildlife and wildlife conservation. Rich was great at communicating with us before and during our stay. We're happy to recommend them as hosts and their home as a comfortable place to stay. Thank you Rich and Wanda!

After spending the day hiking with friends up and down the coast, this was a wonderful, quiet and comfortable place to relax in the evening. Lots of space, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, full size washer/dryer, and nice hot shower. It took a moment to adjust to the kitchen/living area being upstairs, as I'd never seen a layout like that before. Very quiet location, with easy access to Highway 1.

We stayed for 6 nights in June 2022 and it was wonderful. We loved the design of the house with the bedrooms on the lower level, where it is cooler, and the open plan living area upstairs. The beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook and play games and relax. We were blessed with sunny weather, which is never a guarantee on the coast. The house gets great sun and light. We loved sitting on the little back deck in the sun. There are beautiful hiking trails all around the property. This house is not on the ocean side & it does not have an ocean view, but you can walk to the end of the street to see an ocean view , and we decided we prefer this side for the privacy and forest trails. We drove to the ocean everyday & were there in a few minutes. We saw the baby seal pups at Tide Pool Beach and tried a different "cove" or beach area each day. My 11 year old son loved climbing the rocks and looking for urchins in the tide pools. We had a few questions for the hosts and they returned our call quickly and were friendly--Thank you Rich & Wanda! We rent a house at Sea Ranch each summer and this house is one we hope to return to again. It was a such a great week for our family. We read in the sunny living room, walked & hiked, saw rabbits, wild turkeys, deer, groundhogs, & seals. We sat in the hot tub, played games, & all cooked together. It is such a relaxing place. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay from Wednesday through Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday. The home is located on the meadow side of Sea Ranch and is in a fairly secluded cul de sac where deer, wild turkeys and rabbits abound. It was very quiet and we enjoyed the wildlife and the quiet (great for sleeping). The bedrooms and living area were very comfortable/cozy. The only recommendation we have is that the owners should put together a little book on how things work in the house (we had trouble with the t.v., had no instructions on how to use the wood-burning stove, and the shower in the only full bath was extremely difficult to use) The keys were mailed to us along with the parking pass but nothing else was really provided. Many of the Sea Ranch houses we've stayed at have a book of this type. Alternatively the owners could send a separate communication with instructions in this regard. Bedrooms are on the ground level and living space is up stairs. Because we had a small dog and an older parent it is unlikely that we would rent this property again.

Property is perfect! This was our 2nd stay, and certainly not the last! We planning on staying here many more times in the future. Hosts were perfect, and we had no trouble at all in the house! Great kitchens, beds, hot tub, everything! Nice and private! Can not WAIT to return!!!

We enjoyed a 5-week stay in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-story home. The house was "homey" and had what we needed in the kitchen (appliances, items for BBQ, dishes, pots and pans), living room (books, games, TV setup) and overall (vacuum, washer/dryer, two decks, hot tub). The owner was very helpful before our stay and during. Thanks, Rich!

We had a lovely time at Rich and Wanda’s house. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed without being the least bit fussy. The hot tub was clean and dreamy in the Sea Ranch fog. Our dog loved sitting into the window seat and watching wild hare, deer and people walk by. It’s a great value for a trip up to gorgeous trails and beaches. Plus, can’t beat the 4 minutes drive to two Gualala supermarkets!

The 3 of us (Wife,Husband and Small Dog) spent 5 weeks at this property in June and early July.We were very pleased with the property. All the basic supplies were available and when we arrived the property was in spotless condition. The beds were comfortable and the water was hot.The property is a very short distance to the bluff trail and also accesses some beautiful walks in the interior of Sea Ranch through the Redwoods.Of significant interest to us ,as longer term guests, was the very reasonable rate charged given the quality of the property when compared to other properties at Sea Ranch that have significant, and to my mind unreasonable, fees attached to the rental. Excellent value for money!!.As in many properties at Sea Ranch there are stairs involved to access the upper living/kitchen area so if you have mobility issues you might prefer a single level house. The owners are great and very easy to deal with. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again in the future.

We haven't always enjoyed the houses on the hillside because they tend to be dark, but this house has a lot of light and a delightful deck. We appreciated the comfy chairs for reading (and reading lamps) and bench seats to watch the deer. The right size for three adults.

This was the perfect house for a month on the coast. Clean, well equipped, plenty of room and quick access to walking trails and the dog park. The owners are lovely people and quick to respond. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book it again!

Rich and Wanda's place in Sea Ranch was a perfect spot for a nice stay in Sea Ranch. While we tend to rent houses on the West of Hwy 1, this house on the East side was still close to all the Sea Ranch trails. There are two tunnels under Hwy 1 for the golf course that made it easy to get to the bluff trail.Rich and Wanda's house was thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials to make our stay easy! They were communicative throughout the entire process.I would highly recommend this place for a group of 2-4 folks looking for a calm serene house in Sea Ranch.

My partner, our dog and I stayed in the Antler house for over a month. We were very happy staying there. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The communication with the owner was excellent. The house is on the east side of the road but still only a short walk to the ocean.

My dogs and I spent a week here taking refuge from the Sonoma County fires. I couldn't have been more comfortable and would love to spend an actual vacation here! The owners were very accomodating. It was quiet and serene-a very healing place. The next door neighbor was friendly also. I've stayed at numerous Sea Ranch vacation homes, and this one would be my first choice for a return visit.

6.0 / 10.0

We absolutely loved staying in Sea Ranch and the house was clean and very conveniently located. However, the house itself has almost no personality or charm. Just an empty shell with all the necessary basics. It would be nice if the furniture was updated and there was some beach towels and some other amenities like some cheap bikes and tennis rackets and board games and the like.

Spent a wonderful two weeks at this adorable little house located on a culdesac just across the road from the pool and tennis courts in Sea Ranch and only several miles from shopping in Gualala. We were escaping the summer heat in Arizona and the trip was just what the doctor ordered! Perfect size for a couple or small family. The house is very well equipped for a rental with most things that you would want for cooking plus a great BBQ on the deck and a Jacuzzi to hop into and enjoy a class of wine. My husband was happy to have good TV reception and I was happy to spend time on the window seat looking out over all the green and watching the deer and the quail just outside the window. We picked this house partly because we had planned to take our little dogs with us with us which ended up not being the case. It is one of the rare places which will let you bring a pet. Rich and Wanda, the owners, were incredibly great to work with in setting up this reservation. I bugged them with lots of questions prior to our visit and they couldn't have been more responsive. We look forward to another trip back to their Antler house on a future trip to Sea Ranch.

The house was easy find and in a convenient location. It is quiet with very little traffic going by on the road. The hot tub was lovely, the bed was firm, kitchen had plenty of equipment.

This was a perfect getaway for me, my husband and our son. The space is darling, clean and very nice bedding. Kitchen was well stocked and place was warm and inviting. Waking up to deer every morning and reading by the sunny windows in a quiet environment was a treat!

My husband and I and our small dog spent 11 weeks in this vacation rental over the summer. The weather was perfect and we hiked all 47 of the private Sea Ranch trails. My favorite were the interpretative trails and the Bluff trail. Be sure to do those if you can. Rich and Wanda were quick to answer our emails and very considerate of our privacy. We received our refundable deposit check within ten days of departure. The home was very clean and comfortable in every way. Everything worked great and you have to see the stars at night to believe it. We had a wonderful summer and look forward to returning to Sea Ranch in the future. I highly recommend this property.

Our second stay. This time 10 days. Very comfortable and in a private and silent location. Being in the north end the house is literally 5 minutes from downtown Gualala. We used the Physical Gym each morning when they open at 6am. I left the driveway at 5:55 and was walking into the Gym at exactly 6. The tree top design is nice. Living and dining upstairs and sleeping downstairs. My wife found the kitchen well prepared and well stocked. We ate all meals in Antler. Thank you for providing a comfortable and reasonably priced home in The Sea Ranch. We plan to be back.

We had a great time staying at Antler House. We have an 18 month old child and a dog and it was very comfortable for everyone. The location is great and it is an easy walk to Sea Ranch trails and amenities. The house was very clean and well appointed, and we used the kitchen for almost every meal including cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. We highly recommend this house for a relaxing Sea Ranch vacation.

We had a very pleasant stay. House is clean, comfortable and adequately stocked with necessities. Nice meadow view, very quiet and serene. Easy quick drive into town and only 10 minute walk to ocean where you can check out the seals lounging on rocks and look at tide pools. King size bed is very firm. Hosts were very responsive and nice.

Super comfortable with a great hot tub, quality mattresses, and a light and airy living room. Really well appointed kitchen with new gas stove and Bosch dishwasher, Cutco knives, olive oil, basic spices, and coffee beans ready to grind; it's a big step up from some less well maintained Sea Ranch properties. Also, having the bedrooms and master bath downstairs with the living space upstairs is a great idea! Owners are super friendly and answered all my questions, including one early on Saturday morning. All in all 5* and we'll DEFINITELY be coming back soon!

Very clean and well maintained pet-friendly house with everything you need. Owners were helpful and responsive. The house is in a great location near Gualala, and just a short walk to Del Mar Rec Center where I was able to swim every a.m.

Sea Ranch is of course a fantastic locale, and this house helps prove it. The hot tub is delightful at night. The kitchen has beautiful dishware and utensils—not to mention great pots, pans, and knives. They even have a basic spicerack so you can make your favorite dishes! There's a blu-ray player for all the movie rentals you get in Gualala, and a heating system that warms the house in mere minutes. There isn't really a view to speak of, but there's plenty of light shining through the multitude of windows. The owners are lovely and detail-oriented as well as well-prepared. The trails nearby are fabulous and within walking distance. If you want a relatively inexpensive way to stay in Sea Ranch and don't need the ocean view at all times, this is the place for you.

This tidy home, in a sunny location with sweet-smelling redwoods in the back yard, had everything that my spouse and dog and I needed, and nothing that we didn't need, and a screened hot tub to boot! We were very comfortable. The location within Sea Ranch was close to a well-built dog park and to the town of Gualala, and a fifteen minute walk or one minute drive to the shore path. After one week, there was much more to do, so we'll be back. The entrance, full bath, laundry and two bedrooms are on the first floor, with stairs up to the living area and half bath, so you'd have to make sure everyone could navigate stairs. Technological reception is slower and weaker than we are used to, but we could still be connected by cell phone, TV and wireless computer. What a wonderful, quiet place to rest, recover, and renew! We hadn't known anything about Sea Ranch before, so we feel very lucky to have found this gem.

My wife, and Irish setter and I stayed 4 nights in the Antler House. After a long winter drive from Maine and a less than satisfactory stay cut short in the Bay Area, arriving here was a wonderful decompress. We have rented in Sea Ranch before but always on the west side of the highway. We could hear a pine needle drop up here in the hills. The silence is wonderful inside and outside the home. We can hear the low, restful sound of the ocean in the distance and that's about all. Each morning we took a long run either up here on the roads and trails, or down the roads and across the highway to the bluff trail and along the ocean. Bliss. After dinner we took flashlight walks all around the roads up here. Deer everywhere. Muddy raccoon tracks on the roof of our van. Vultures and hawks wheeling around the redwoods. We counted southbound 20 gray whales one day, 18 another day as well as groups of right whale dolphins. Harbor seals abound, and sea lions can also be found...and heard! This is a tree top living room home, meaning the bedrooms and full bath are downstairs. The living and kitchen area is upstairs and the view around the area is beautiful up there. Its an extremely comfortable and functional home. The furniture is very comfortable. Love the recliner. The only suggestion I would make is an expanded tv channel choice and the reception on some channels is a wee fuzzy. We didnt come to watch tv, but it is nice at night and to have more choices. They do have Netflix I should mention. Thank you for such a comfortable, affordable, pet friendly home.
