Why the Owner Chose Gualala
After "studying" the North Coast from Stimson Beach to Fort Bragg we found Gualala to be just the right combination of village atmosphere, artistic culture, good restaurants and least overcast days. We wanted an ocean (blue/white water)view and less than 3 1/2 hour drive from Bay Area. Our SeaWatch in Gualala is the perfect match.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhouse
We enjoy the opportunity to just "kick back" and refresh in the solitude and sounds of the surf.
> Meadow & ocean bluff hiking trails. > Small museum of local history & artifacts. > Wildlife viewing (deer, whales, sea birds). > Variety of picnic areas.
> Open daily. > Art galleries, Music & drama performances almost every week. > Wide range of art classes. > Social events.

Owner's Map of Gualala
Judy and I take our golden retriever with us to the coast and enjoy beach walks as well as hiking on the Gualala Bluff Trail. Living in Berkeley we enjoy the active life of a great metropolitan area like the San Francisco Bay Area. However, our time at SeaWatch in Gualala gives us a balance to re-energize and refresh in a quiet place close to nature. We both have had busy lives in educational administration and value the balance that SeaWatch gives us.

Traveler review for this vacation rental 5/5 points Just fantastic! sbtraveler Santa Barbara, CA, USA. Date Submitted: July 01, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008 We loved our stay at SeaWatch and look forward to a return visit. The owners have spared nothing in making this a most comfortable, beautiful place to relax and from which to explore Gualala and surrounding area. It felt more like staying in a good friend's home than a rental. The photos and description were accurate, though it was even nicer than we'd anticipated. The location was perfect- just a short stroll to coffee shops, great little bookstore, grocery stores with all you could need. While there we enjoyed: the great views from SeaWatch, the beach at Gualala Pt, the lighthouse at Pt Arena... It was windy during our stay, so we didn't canoe on the river, but will next time. Most highly recommended! Thank you, SeaWatch!
