Sea Ranch 3BR distant ocean-view home with hot tub — dogs welcome

Summary:

A private, single-level Sea Ranch retreat just down the street from Walk On Beach, with high ceilings, a stone fireplace with wood provided, and a lofty, light-filled living space. Next door to Samson Getaway for multi-family stays. Sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms with hot tub — dogs welcome, a mile from Del Mar's pool and saunas.



The Space:

Private and scenic, this single-level home sits close to the bluffs at Sea Ranch, just down the street from Walk On Beach. You'll be less than one mile from Shell Beach; one mile from the heated pool, saunas, and tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center; and four miles south of downtown Gualala.



Couples and families will feel right at home in this lofty and light-filled retreat. It's even next door to the Samson Getaway, a home that can be rented as well for multi-family getaways.



The living space is modern and open, featuring high ceilings, a sectional sofa, and large windows that face the ocean. Warm your toes by the stone fireplace (wood is provided), curl up with a novel, or play a board game at the coffee table as you watch for local wildlife.



Prepare breakfast each morning in the kitchen, which offers standard appliances, a dishwasher, and a dining space for six. Outside in the enclosed garden, you'll find a gas grill, two patio tables, and a firepit for al fresco meals in every season.



Spend your days walking with your dog on the oceanside Bluff Trail.



Known throughout Northern California for its scenery and tranquility, Sea Ranch is a escape for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.



The natural majesty of Sea Ranch can be all yours -



OUTDOOR LIVING

Step outside to the deck -- your front-row seat for Pacific sunsets and, in season, migrating gray whales. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific -- an experience you won't soon forget. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy a barbecue with the sounds of nature as your dinner music.

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.



Up to 2 dogs are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.
