This cozy cove cottage provides you with everything you need to feel right at home during your Gualala getaway. A large deck and a fenced yard give you and your guests plenty of space to spread out and take in the stunning views of the ocean and the rocky cliffs of the California Coast. Best of all, this home also includes a private outdoor hot tub where you can soak your worries away. Please be aware the fireplace in the photos is not an available amenity at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.


What's nearby:

About two miles south of town you will find other attractions such as the Bluff Trailhead in Gualala Point Regional Park for a beautiful oceanfront hike, or Sea Ranch Golf Links for those looking to spend some time out on the greens.

Beautiful ocean views

This little place was perfect for us. The furnishings were clean and comfortable, hot tub with view of water was super! …..And it was already heated when we arrived. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment for cooking and all necessary utensils. A nice little yard and deck. Close to highway, but no highway noise! The only irritation/confusion was the VRBO & Vacasa relationship. Why two businesses we had to respind to. That is not very personalised

Relaxing Getaway - Inaccurate Listing

The house was very nice. The view was amazing. Kitchen had everything needed to cook for two.Minor noise from California 1, but not much.Hot tub was wonderful.Be aware, though, that the house DOES NOT have a working wood stove, despite the title and listing information for the property. This was something of a disappointment for us.

Amazing views

Everything was just perfect for our stay. The house was clean, the bed was comfy, shower had great pressure, hot tub was hot and clean, and the view was simply amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer! The only thing that would have made it better would be a couple more pillows, since we did use the pull-out bed for our kids.

Cozy With An Awesome View

This is a comfortable place for a couple. Amenities are close at Gualala. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the waves in the cove below. Our only issue was that when we arrived, the code that unlocks the door didn't work. It was easily remedied by calling VRBO who gave us a new code.

Lovely and relaxing

I was recuperating from an injury and this was the ideal location. We found it exactly as described other than it's in Gualala, not Sea Ranch. The hot tub with the ocean view was great and everything we needed was provided or available a short drive away.

Nice location but property not kept up

When we arrived we found that the blinds in the bedroom were broken open and that made us on comfortable. By the rough nail holes in the wall we were able to jimmy a curtain out of the only other sheet we had because we felt it was unsafe. It was very cold there and we were not provided with blankets and the bed has a thin questionably clean sheet, dusty and scratchy comforter and 2 very sad pillows. The bed room has low ceilings, side tables with unfinished plywood sharp edges, and folding chair in the cornered. The aesthetic that matched a child bedroom. Over all hours was dusty and our allergies weren’t happy. We tried to contact the host about the low flow toilet that was clogged when we arrived but did not hear back from our host at any point in our trip. We also contacted them about finding the lights to the hot tub and not hear back either. The property is located right off Highway on which is convenient but ultimately very loud and the little house shook when the garbage was picked up early (also not mentioned by host). At night it’s pitch black and the host conveniently left us two broken flash lights on the counter to help us out. The hot tub was grimy and had a layer of skin on the rim of the tub and needed to filled when we arrived. The view from the hot tub is great though. Our last day the power went out and we were isolated without service or a way of getting directions, also did not hear from host or find directions on how to use the fire place. Kitchen had no salt, oil or seasonings, dishes were rough hardly clean and the sponge left your hand smelling of mildew which was gross. In the bathroom they provided us with dove body soap which was convenient. The bath mat was disgusting and had seen better days and was immediately put in the. Also the dryer did not work. The view from the back of the property is incredible but the property is poorly managed and dirty. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this property and am still waiting to hear back

Good location

Property has a good view overlooking the ocean. Access to the highway is pretty scary, it has really bad line of sight looking either direction. Thought about sleeping on the Murphy bed until we saw the urine stains on the mattress. We never opened that again. Hot tub is not very private. A lot of general maintenance is required for this property..

A Beautiful View

The cottage was a little bit closer to Hwy ! than I thought it would be, so we could hear some road noise at the very early hours of the morning, (commuters?) I am a light sleeper, so this may not be such an issue for other guests. The cleaning girl was still there when we arrived right at our check-in time and said she had only been there for 45 minutes. So I think she should have allotted more time for her cleaning. The outdoor patio table and glass patio doors weren't cleaned at all. Otherwise, the place was very cozy, cute and clean on the inside. In the future, I'd rather pay a little more and have a place a little bit further from the highway noise.

Rest and recenter getaway

We had an amazing time relaxing and resenting is shutting all the anxieties of the modern world for a few days.The house provided incredible views that made it so much easier and natural to delve into natures beauty and let it cleanse you. We loved discovering the coast and indescribable views that it has to offer! We were awestruck and every single turn, seems like. The house itself is very warm cozy and welcoming. I’ve never had such an amazing view right there in the living room! All the amenities were very convenient and comfortable. The hot tub was the highlight of every evening.We definitely intend to come back! Thank you so much for the hospitality!
