It's all in the details at this stunning craftsman home here in the beautiful landscape of Gualala! Boasting unmatched exposed beam ceilings, partial ocean views from the spacious deck, and a lofted layout that will give everyone their own piece of paradise, there will be no need to leave this oasis. Start mornings out slow with a warm cup of coffee in the ocean breeze and let the chef of the group whip up a tasty breakfast for the whole gang in the perfectly equipped kitchen boasting a gas range and all of the appliances of home. After a full day of beach activities, draw a bath in the soaking tub as the dazzling colors of the sunset filter through the trees. When nights cool down, the in-floor radiant heated fir wood floors will be just the ticket to slip right into relaxation mode as everyone reminisces by the warmth of the gas fireplace.

When you want to venture out a bit further, head into Gualala and pop into a local restaurant, hike along the bluffs, or grab a few necessities from one of the grocery stores.

Wonderful Experience!
The house is absolutely lovely! It feels like a treehouse, very private, with fantastic views. Booking and communication was easy peasy. Gualala is a cute little town near by that has everything you need. I would highly recommend this property. I might even book it again in the future.

Tucked away gem
Me and my wife have been visiting the north coast a few times a year for almost a decade now and we always stay in VRBOs. We normally try and book unique homes that embody the vibe of the area. This home was just exactly what we look for. Clean, accommodating and eccentric in the right ways. Would recommend.

Beautiful house
House and grounds are beautiful and in a great location. Thoughtful details throughout the house. The only disappointing thing was the communication with the owner. Owner never replied to my messages. House needed to be cleaned and there were problems with the sink.

Perfect Relaxation House
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! My daughters loved the window seats for reading and the porch was an excellent place to relax and watch the ocean. The claw foot tub was a luxury! We’d definitely stay here again!

Beautiful, thoughtful space
Carefully appointed garden and house. Steep entrance through the garden. Nice to throw the windows open, relax and listen to the ocean. Nicely appointed kitchen had everything we needed.

Beautiful house & property
This is a beautiful property. My only criticism is some cleaning issues in the kitchen. Someone had previously left something in the garbage area (in an enclosed little closet) that had a super bad odor. The cleaning crew did not take care of that issue. Other minor cleaning issues in the kitchen, but overall everything else was clean. The climb to the property is a challenge for us older, out of shape (lol)renters. The grounds are beautiful. The house is one of the best we’ve rented in the Sea Ranch/Gualala area. We & my parents have rented many over the last 25+ years of family gatherings. Highly recommend for comfort & price.

peaceful ocean view home
This house was a perfect getaway to recharge our family's batteries. Fast wireless internet (2 kids doing Zoom school classes was no problem) and the views of the ocean from the deck and master bedroom are amazing. Only a 10 minute walk to Cook's Beach. The neighborhood is very dark and quiet so the stargazing at night was really something special.
