Now with fast and dependable Sea Ranch Connect fiber optic internet service!

This Property can be booked online and the calendar is always up to date! This property is limited to 4 guests, no pets will be considered.

Location, Style and Value - The north end is arguably the best Location on the ranch for visitors! It's closest to the town of Gualala with it's shops, markets and eating/drinking establishments. Originally built for an empty nest couple, The Bluffs at Sea Ranch is perhaps the perfect place for a loving couple to reignite their passion. The professionally designed interior is fresh, light-filled and private featuring our signature look with antiques and contemporary furnishings in a modern playful mix. You will appreciate the high quality bedding, pillows and comforters, an updated kitchen with commercial stainless steel appliances, Master Chef cookware, Wusthof knives and all the goodies. Separate laundry, viewing deck, covered patio, private fenced yard, and inviting Jacuzzi spa with views of the Pacific round out the ample amenities.

The two-level master suite encompasses the majority of the second floor. Lounge with your favorite book on the 9-foot window seat and enjoy seasonal whitewater ocean views and glorious sunsets. Then step down to the spacious bath area for a sumptuous soak with the sounds of the crashing waves to help sooth away your worries. The massive California king size bed invites restful slumber with a super high-end Aireloom 'Super Feather Bed' mattress. The second bedroom is located on the ground floor and has access to its own private garden and patio. It's cozy and comfortable and great for extra guests. In addition, on the second floor, is a lofted niche with a full size bed that looks out upon the Sea Ranch Golf Links and acres of natural land on one side and the ocean on the other. The perfect place to escape from someone who snores!

With panoramic ocean views from nearly every window, and acres of wilderness to the east the property is adjacent to Gualala Point Regional Park and the town of Gualala the convenience and walk-ability are unsurpassed. The bluff trail along the ocean side of the property serves as your gateway to the great blue Pacific.

Designed and sited to take advantage passive heating and cooling from Mother Nature, you'll enjoy soothing benefits of radiant floor heating with no drying forced air to stuff up your sinuses.

Again, pets are not allowed - please don't ask. If unauthorized pets are brought onto the property, a minimum fee of $500 will be charged for extra cleaning.

Great home with a great view

We had such a peaceful and wonderful time at this beautiful home. The views are spectacular and you can hear the sea from the deck. The hot tub was nice and hot and also has a view of the sea with the gate open. The home is decorated with class and style. The walking path along the coast is easily accessible and we went for beautiful walks every day. I highly recommend this home!

Beautiful, peaceful stay at The Bluffs at Sea Ranch

We loved our stay at this home in Sea Ranch. It was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, stylish and well-furnished with everything we needed. The location was perfect, tucked away near the northern end of the Bluff Trail, offering both privacy and the stunning coastal scenery. The house and area are incredibly quiet, making it an ideal spot to unwind. We also enjoyed the hot tub and garden. Overall, a fantastic stay—we would definitely return!

Best we've stayed in at Sea Ranch

We've stayed at Sea Ranch on and off for 20 years, and when you put it all together, this property tops all the others.It's beautifully designed, fully equipped, and has furnishings more akin to a high-end resort than a beach rental. The attention to detail is impeccable.You have an unobstructed view of the ocean from multiple windows and seating areas throughout the home. You're steps from the Bluff Trail.You're about as close to Gualala as you can get, for quick grocery trips and dining options.

Beautiful home in beautiful Sea Ranch

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, having passed through Sea Ranch on a previous trip to the area and wanting to return back. The aesthetics and vibe of the community are very much our style, and we loved seeing all kinds of wildlife from the back porch and from the huge windows upstairs. We picked up groceries early on from one of the nearby grocery stores and found the kitchen to be adequately equipped for cooking meals there, which we did. I would recommend being judicious about timing and length of showers so as to not encounter any scarcity of hot water. The bed was extremely comfortable and I loved the window bench in the master. It’s a good place to set up home base if you have some work to do, which I did, and had no issues with internet speed on my laptop. The hot tub was nice and hot, and overall I really enjoyed the privacy of the spaces inside and around the house (it’s nice having ample window treatments to be able to leave the blinds up during the day for wildlife spotting but have the option of closing up in the evening once it’s dark outside and the interior is lit). We would certainly return.

Blissful stay at the Bluffs

Sea Ranch is magical. It’s so easy to leave city life behind as soon as you step into the life and routines of Sea Ranch. The Bluffs is perfectly located with gorgeous sea views and easy access to the trail which is over 10 miles of beauty. The house is fully equipped to cook and incredibly cozy.

Smell the Sea and feel the sky…

An absolutely gorgeous house where we enjoyed nature at it’s most powerful. The Bluffs, with fantastic ocean views, has all the amenities for a very comfortable getaway, including a backup electric system. We very much appreciated this during the Atmospheric River storm. A bird’s eye view to the ever changing Pacific and Mother Nature…breathtaking. John is an attentive and communicative host. We look forward to returning in the future. Many thanks.

Immediate access to trails. Best location to town as well with easy access to Trink’s and their delicious baked goods. Raspberry cream cheese scones are incredible. The home had a spacious and completely private outdoor area with a large hot tub that we used often. The bathrooms and kitchens were very well stocked and we especially appreciated all of the different coffee making options. I really enjoyed the Mokka pot. We will definitely make returns to Sea Ranch and hope to stay here again.
