About this property

Inspired by a view of the Sea

A writer's paradise, this home has had more best selling books written within its walls than any home on the Mendocino Coast line. An inspiration to authors, the energy at 247 Solstice in Sea Ranch is tranquil and still–making it the perfect romantic get away or writer's retreat from the world. Decorated with the ocean in mind, the house is elegant and comfortable all at once. Three bedrooms (one set up for kids with two sets of bunk beds sleeping 4) and one queen guest room and one California King, this 2500 square foot home is perfect for one to two couples and four kids. With chairs and sitting areas to fall back into in every corner, the home is the ideal respite to grab a book and disappear into its pages. A perfect setting to enjoy all of the amenities of coastal living at its best, a short walk from a sauna and heated pool plus tennis courts. The private sea ranch foot path is just off the deck, and stretches for about 13 miles up and down one of the most gorgeous cliff-side coastlines in the world. Walk-on beach is a mere ten minute trek, but there's no need to go further than the front room for full enjoyment of a spectacular view to watch the whales go by from the couch. Additional guest fee for more than 2 persons will be $50.00 per night per guest.

Beautiful property

Kristin’s place was amazing. Extremely clean and steps from the Pacific Ocean. We also enjoyed the amenities of sea ranch (going to the pool everyday, private parking). I would highly recommend this property for families. You can have a relaxing day at the beach or pool, or go for a hike and see wildlife. Carole was a great host

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house. We sat out on the deck most of the time. We enjoyed walking the cliff trail and walking down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home.

Outstanding ocean views

We really enjoyed our stay here especially the deck and the ocean views. Sea Ranch is a very special place. Don’t miss the seal beach and long walks on the bluff trail. Also Trinks, Anabel’s clothing consignment and Salvarae in Gualala and dinner at the Sea Ranch Lodge.

You Will Want To Stay Longer

Overall this is a great Sea Ranch house. There are some things that could use a bit more attention to detail, but I would not hesitate to return to this property. It has views & views, inside and out. This rental has the best patio furniture BY FAR of any home we have rented at Sea Ranch. The sunsets from the deck each evening were delightful. Tip for seal sightings. We discovered that the seals congregate on the rocks about 50 yards north of the home at low tide (for us in the morning). Walk to the cypress grove about halfway through it, and then look over the cliff edge. You will get a seal surprise!

Superb Sea Ranch rental!

Perfect location — on the bluff, as well as short walk to the DelMar pool. We were also thrilled to learn (I read three of their books! ) about the Carlsons.
