Private Courtyard with Hot Tub... Ocean View...2 min. walk to bluff

10/10 Excellent
"Our nonprofit organization's board of directors stayed in this lovely home for our annual in-person retreat, and the four of us really enjoyed our time there. The home itself has a unique and interesting design and is situated in a very quiet neighborhood. The 3 bedrooms are lovely, with very comfortable beds, and the bathrooms are lovely as well . The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, more than in some homes I have stayed in. Our host was available and responsive, which is always appreciated. Sea Ranch is such a great place, with walking trails along the beautiful ocean and recreation centers with pool, sauna, etc. This home is close to Gualala Point Regional Park and the little town of Gualala -we highly recommend the Vue restaurant. Thanks for a great stay, John!"

Sibley | Beautiful Ocean Views & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this place for just the two of us. Great vicinity to the Bluff Trail, nice views complete with hot tub on the deck, wonderful spaciousness and sun in the common rooms, with the master bedroom set back in the calm and dark. (We slept so well! Super comfortable king mattress, too.) If we had to quibble, it would be that the bathroom and kitchen might call for some updating (but we didn't mind at all and appreciated the pricing on a less 'fancy' place). Everything was well thought-out, clean and efficient."

"The house is super clean, full of amenities and super comfortable beds with soft sheets. Good nature views and peaceful to spend time on the back deck. The king bed and extra twin is upstairs via a very narrow & steep spiral staircase. This is pictured in the listing. Sea Ranch is very relaxing and we loved walking along the cliffs and exploring the beaches. Very relaxing getaway."

"Needed a place to stay for my son's wedding at the Sea Ranch Lodge. This place was perfect for two people. Great location and very quiet. The Japanese Tea House theme was very nice. Would stay here again. Host let us get in early which helped with logistics. (The only thing I wish the house had was a Keurig.... the big coffee pot was a bit much when I only wanted one cup.)"
