Charming beach cottage in the desirable south end of Sea Ranch. Two bedrooms, each with king beds and separate bathrooms, large living room with wood burning fireplace, gourmet kitchen, vaulted wood ceilings, warm and sunny decks and beautiful views of ocean, meadow and mountains. A stone’s throw from the Bluff Trail and the ocean and a short walk to Pebble and Black Point Beaches and the Sea Ranch Lodge. Located on a quite, dead-end street far from the highway. Recently enhanced with skylights, new hot tub and deck, wine cooler, appliances, carpet, furniture, granite countertops, custom decorator touches and lots more. High Speed Wireless access and iPod ready surround sound system!! Bring your work and all your tunes and stay an extra week.
The Sea Ranch is internationally known and revered for its attempt to blend man-made structures with their natural setting. This most picturesque area of California, 100 miles north of San Francisco dotted with distinctive homes, spreads for about ten miles on either side of Highway One in the coastal Sonoma County. The building design is unique in its architecture, and the challenge to 'live lightly on the land' is on-going.
With three swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts, a 18-hole championship golf course, and 45 miles of hiking trails that meander along the coastal cliffs, through meadows and forests, there is no shortage of outdoor activity for your Sea Ranch vacation. And after a hard day of having fun, soak in the spa, have a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset over the ocean.

Why Keith Brown chose Sea Ranch
Sea Ranch is without equal. The ocean, mountains, wildlife - a little something for everyone in one of the most pleasant and tranquil climates on the planet.
What makes this House unique
A peaceful meadow setting with mountain and partial ocean views. Only 100 yards to the ocean so no shortage of the calming sounds of the ocean surf. Lots of deck space for socializing with friends and the perfect two bedroom/bath arrangement for two couples. A well equipped kitchen for the perfect dinner.

Best place ever!
My sister and I spent a wonderful quiet weekend in this little piece of heaven. Very nice spacious house. Loved the views and of course the hot tub. We spent the wet weekend with the fireplace on. Lots of firewood to use which was great. Seriously, this is the best rental home I've rented. The owner has everything together. Thanks Keith!

GREAT GETAWAY
This is the second year in a row that we have spent a week at this Sea Ranch property and both times it was extremely enjoyable. The house is fully-equipped with amenities and necessities throughout making your stay both as comfortable and convenient as being in your own home -- with the bonus of having an ocean view and beaches within close walking proximity. The house has been very clean upon arrival on both occasions that we stayed and we didn't encounter any problems. The owner, Keith, is very prompt and responsive to any concerns or questions you may have both prior, during and after your stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is traveling with a dog or seniors -- as it is one level and easy for short hikes to stair-accessible beaches. We look forward to being able to return to Sea Ranch and stay at this property again.
Loved it! Liz...
Got sick with a bladder infection, really bad pain! Called 911, took an ambulance to Santa Rosa. I was treated well. Went home, missed one day. Everything turned out o.k. Thanks for everything, Greetings from Liz...
Great Location in Sea Ranch!
My wife and I and our dog stayed in Keith's house for 3 nights over Easter weekend. Having been to Sea Ranch and Gualala many times, we wanted a comfortable home that was located convenient to all the activities we enjoy in this area. This house fit the bill perfectly.
The cul-de-sac was quiet and the trail access was located at the top of the street, which allowed us to travel either direction along the bluff easily. The proximity to the bluff allowed us to hear the ocean inside with windows open, and also while grilling and relaxing in the hot tub after many miles of hiking, which we did daily.
We had easy hiking access to all of our favorite beaches, as well as being located across the street from Annapolis Road which takes you to the airport and a few small shops, and where we did the San Andreas Fault hike for the first time, and enjoyed the Gualala River at The Hot Spot.
The house itself was very comfortable and well stocked. The master bedroom bed was quite comfortable. When you book hotel rooms or places that are pet friendly you always wonder about cleanliness, but this house was spotless. We used and enjoyed the fireplace each evening, it was a great way to take off the evening chill. The house actually felt more spacious than the pictures appeared, and the vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows in the kitchen gave the whole house a bright and airy feeling. The weather was beautiful for our stay, but the house is so well stocked with things to do in inclement weather that it wouldn't be an issue to be housebound for a bit either. The pet towels at the back sliding door were a great thought, so you can dry them off from the beach and weather without worrying about the better towels.
Keith is very organized, which is helpful when you are looking for something in a new environment, and everything in the house was in good working order, including the grill and hot tub. We had a very relaxing weekend and we would definitely book this home again!
Comfortable, inviting, relaxing.
Our stay at the property was magnificent. The house is impeccably maintained. The fireplace made the house very “homey” and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything (and more!) than we could have needed. And the trails along the bluff were easy to access. We will definitely return!
Terrific refreshing break with our family
The house is located near hiking trails with beautiful sunsets. A really nice stay in a tranquil setting
Location
Sea Ranch is on a remote section of the California Coast. People come here to relax, hike, enjoy the scenery, and laze away the day on the beach.
