Please view the TSRA website for current information regarding the use of community facilities, such as the swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts.

Offering an enviable location just up the road from Shell Beach, this Sea Ranch home provides wonderful comfort with a blue-water view of the ocean. You'll be able to stroll to the oceanfront Bluff Trail in a matter of minutes each morning, and be welcomed home by an enclosed garden terrace with a private hot tub.

This home was built in the classic Sea Ranch style, with a reverse floor plan that places the main living space upstairs on the second floor. This great room is both open and inviting, offering lofty ceilings of natural wood, a wall of windows that face the ocean, and a sofa, a plush armchair, and built-in window seats to help you admire the view. You can curl up with a book in the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace, set up a board game at the dining room table, or turn on a movie while keeping one eye peeled for whale spouts.

Begin each morning with a visit to the outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas at the nearby Ohlson Recreation Center, and come home to unwind on the back terrace. This fenced outdoor space is perfectly sheltered from the wind, featuring a private hot tub, a gas grill, and a table for al fresco meals. Back inside, the kitchen has every necessary appliance and bar seats for three sous chefs.

After a day spent hiking, beachcombing, and tide-pooling, you'll find the two ocean view bedrooms on the lower level. Additional amenities include private laundry facilities and free WiFi throughout the house.

Will not choose this place a second time

Pros: comfy bed, hot tub water hot, location, BBQCons: ants on the couch, in the bedroom and of course the kitchen, hard to open doors (stuck needed to use shoulder), hot tub jets don’t work, tea kettle had broken off pieces in the bottom, cobwebs, linens pulled down from closet to use were dirty, outside lighting insufficient for finding entry, entire residence smelled of fireplace, some safety issues-screw sticking out of wall in bathroom and poor lighting at entrance. Maybe if the cost were less, I would overlook these things but for the amount paid, I am surprised this home is not better cared for.

Our sons house

The house was tired and needed a lot of care. With it raining there was a lake of water we had to go through and the garage was flooded. The lighting at night is not good so you need a flashlight. The beds were comfortable and clean, but one bedroom door was swollen so it wouldn’t shut. Location was great and the dogs were comfortable.

Good for the price

This is a comfortable house and is fairly priced. We stayed with our two dogs and appreciated the enclose yard. The inside is clean with very comfortable seating. The outside could use a little attention. There were no cushions for any of the chairs or chaise lounge and cobwebs everywhere. The location is close to Highway 1 so during the day the car noise was very noticeable. On the plus side the house is close to trails to the beach and bluff.

Great sea ranch house!

We loved the fenced in yard. It was walkable to the beach and had a beautiful view! The house had everything we needed and was a beautiful mid century ish cabin inside. Would definitely stay again!

Sea Ranch for All

Loved this house, price point was right and the house had everything needed for an excellent time at Sea Ranch. It’s a short walk to Shell Beach, great views of the ocean, equidistant between the two big pools, and easy to pick up the bike route into Gualala. As others have said, the house isn’t as fancy inside (except for its nicely renovated shower, a huge plus after long day at the beach) but it was clean with comfortable beds and a hot tub!

Accessibility

Location is beautiful and easy drive or walk to beach access. Suggestions for owner/property management or for potential renters: This home is not the best for those with mobility limitations as the kitchen/living space is upstairs and the stairs are slippery wood and the hand rail is low. The bedrooms & bathroom is downstairs so up & down is a necessity. Area rugs could use non slip pads or adhesive underneath as they would slip when walking (again a hardship if mobility limitations exist). The bath/shower combo is difficult to enter & exit as it was slippery and no grab bars. Bedroom with king bed lacks ventilation as window does not open and there are no screens on sliders. Only other complaint would be that the jets in hot tub are almost non existent so if a hot tub is a top search feature….this hot tub is more like an outdoor bath, albeit lovely as it sits under a flowering tree that was filled with hummingbirds. Loved the bar apparatus that made it very easy to remove & place the hot tub cover (great invention!) The house was well stocked with dishes, glassware, kitchen appliances & utensils, extra blankets, towels, etc. Not zhushy per se but comfortable. Happy to see that new outdoor furniture was being replaced as we were leaving, as they had definitely ran out their life span.

Sea View

The Sea View property is located close to the bluff trails and one eyed jacks picknick area. We enjoyed our stay. However, the house is rather tired and could use some updating. If you are looking for a newer up to date accommodation this is not the house for you.

Fantastic House

I love the joint kitchen living room everyone can cook and talk and vibe out on the chaise-y couch thing. Also the hot tub was very solid and It's a pretty delightful walk to the coast.

Retro feel

If you like the 70s then this may be the place. I do, so I enjoyed it. Some of the things are a little rundown but if the price is right then I recommend. Great view of the ocean. Hot tub situated under the trees. Kitchen a bit lacking in supplies but sufficient. Bedrooms nice, comfortable. There was no firewood supplied so pick some up on the way or in Gualala at the market. Watch out for ticks in the yard, they are abundant.

Ocean view getaway

This vacation house was seriously underrated from previous reviews! I stayed here for nearly a week with my family and enjoyed a roomy open concept feel with an ocean view. The whales were migrating and we would have had an AMAZING view if we had binoculars…but even so, we could see the splashes with our naked eye!!! Relax in the cute and completely private courtyard, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the hummingbirds which were everywhere!

Relaxing and needs tlc

Lovely great room views and comfy beds. The jets on the hot tub are low-pressure (see other reviews) but the tub was hot. My only real concern was a rental in Sonoma had only 3 wine gkasses.this is wine country. Whats up with that?

Good place for 2

Enjoyed our stay at Sea View. Definitely old Sea Ranch. Enclosed courtyard was lovely and great to have the area for our dog. Kitchen tools could use some updating. Problem we had was the comforter on king bed. Management should have known IT SMELLED AWFUL. Please be more aware when bedding needs to be replaced or at least cleaned. Otherwise a good home and we enjoyed our stay
