About this property

Stunning views near beaches and bluff

Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. This oceanview Sea Ranch vacation home offers a reverse floor plan for amazing living and dining room water views, as well as a private hot tub, and a contemporary and bright interior.
The space
Boasting a location on the west side of iconic Highway 1 on a quiet, dead-end street, you'll be right near miles of bluff trail with 180-degrees views of the ocean. Pacific Pearl, a second-row oceanfront home, is wonderfully located in the center of the Sea Ranch complex with great access to all amenities. A quick half-mile walk to Stengel Beach. A mile walk or pleasant bike ride to the Ohlson Recreation center to take advantage of a swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, tennis and sauna. Ohlson Beach, also a short mile away, is perfect for a picnic, beach combing, reading a book, watching wildlife or chasing waves. If you are a little more ambitious, walk the bluffs in either direction less than 2 miles from the house and you’ll be observing seals at their rookery at the TSRA Marine Preserve or Shell Beach. Golf is 3 miles away at the Sea Ranch Golf Links. Or cozy up in a chair at the home, where whales can be seen from all rooms of the upper floor of the house during their migration along the coast many months of the year.
Guest access
Perfect for small families, this home offers a lot of space with a nice layout for your group of up to six. Flip pancakes in the full kitchen each morning, before heading out to explore the Breaker Meadow Trail outside the backdoor or a stroll along the bluff accessible 100 yards from the property. The master suite offers a private deck and a jetted tub for extra vacation pampering. Two comfy living areas, free WiFi, 3 desk areas in bedrooms, and 4 televisions with Roku & Chromecasts make this a great choice for unwinding on the Sonoma Coast in style.

The house was a great combination of open space for gathering together and then little nooks to focus on a book or just to gaze out over the expansive Pacific Ocean. We were lucky to see whales on two occasions from the upstairs dining room/living room area. Although we were just adults it would be a great place for a family with kids as there are outside areas to play.

Amazing Pacific Pearl

We had an amazing stay, what with the spaciousness of the house, the hot tub, and the proximity to hiking trails, both on the coast and up in the redwoods. Spectacular!

Beautiful house, wonderful stay

This is a really beautiful, well-maintained house, with sweet personal touches, a fantastic view, and a super kind and responsive host. You really can't go wrong. Beds are big and comfy, kitchen is unbelievably well stocked, and we even saw whales from the living room. I very much recommend this home.

Relaxing stay.

Great place and location. The home had everything you would need and more. Comfortable beds, tons of places to sit and read or just look out at the ocean. Kitchen was very well stocked and had great appliances. Also, the communication with the owner was almost instantaneous. 5+ stars!

Pacific Pearl

Very nice layout of the property. Enjoyed having cooking, dining and entertainment on separate level with great views. Bedrooms and associated baths were comfortable and well appointed. The only negative thing our group encountered was the scented conditioner or detergent used on the bedding. Two in our group have allergies that were affected by this product. We addressed the problem by washing the linens etc. with an unscented detergent. Loved the quietness and access to so many trails.

Birthday getaway

There’s something magical about Sea Ranch and arrival reminds you of how you felt the last time you visited. This time we stayed at Pacific Pearl with fabulous ocean views. The light streaming into this home was exquisite. I felt like a cat sitting in the sunlit chair by the window watching for whales. I swam everyday at Ohlson and we biked around the area too. We caught an amazing jazz show at Gualala Art Center and enjoyed a few dinners out and about. Mark was a fantastic host, communicative and available. The property was clean and comfortable with lots of great books to peruse. Many thanks…until next time.

Amazing week at Pacific Pearl!

We had an absolutely wonderful week at Pacific Pearl. It was one of the best houses we have stayed at for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids under 10). The layout was great - the downstairs hang out area was perfect for the kids and we loved that they could play in the backyard. Beautiful and easy walks from the house in two directions. We used the owner's passes to swim at 2 of the rec centers. The house has amazing views, tons of books and dvds, very comfortable furniture, plenty of towels, and the hot tub under the starts was heaven. Beds were super comfy and on the softer side which is our preference. The desks were also nice when I had to do a little work. Great appliances in the kitchen - the house really had it all. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect Week

Brooklyn, NY came to visit to Sea Ranch and what an enjoyable week we had. The house was perfect for a family of four to spend the week. Enough space for adult children to visit with their parents. The husband was out every morning for his daily run. Mom and daughter enjoyed walks along the trails. Views around house and Sea Ranch were spectacular. Communication with host flawless. Check-in easy. House was perfect for a few family game nights. Hot tub was clean and used often. Something to do everyday in Sea Ranch. Don't miss a trip to Two Fish Bakery. Thanks, Mark, for a wonderful space to enjoy a family retreat! We'll be back soon!

Peaceful and relaxing

The location of this home is ideal for a relaxing vacation. It's ideal for slowing down and enjoying the nature around you. We loved the assortment of trails around and proximity to so many parks. The home is exactly as pictured and the chairs are super comfy. The house does get pretty warm in afternoons from all the west facing windows. With our visit in October, it was no issue and the open windows were great. It is something I'd ask about if I were going in warmer months and was used to air conditioning. Again, not a problem for us, but just a thought for others planning. Super host and lots of communication inside on home features are offered.. We had a great time.

Modern connected convenience in a raw organic setting

We loved our ten days in this home, and it does feel like a proper home with books, games, and a fully equipped kitchen. The views to the ocean are spellbinding and the walks to local beaches a daily highlight. The house is digitally connected with automated features such as timed blinds to preserve the dark night skies and a live weather station. Mark was on hand by phone with any questions. There's a laundry downstairs, a hot tub in the garden and a lovely balcony which catches the sun from early in the morning and looks out to sea. One day was stormy so we stayed in with plenty to read and play. When the sun came out we learned how to play Cornhole!
