“The home is beautifully appointed with incredible views of the ocean. Amazing kitchen. We hope to stay again!” - Cameron
Welcome to Dew Point Retreat, a peaceful coastal escape perched on a bluff in Gualala, just five minutes from town but a world away from the everyday. Wake up to the sound of crashing waves and panoramic views of the Pacific. This tranquil retreat offers front-row seats to unforgettable sunsets, migrating whales, and star-filled skies, all from the comfort of your private deck.
Dew Point Retreat is where the rugged beauty of the Northern California coast meets laid-back luxury. Here, it’s all about sea breezes, sweeping views, and the calm that only the ocean can bring. This peaceful retreat invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature, your people, and yourself.
Perfect for couples on a romantic getaway, families reuniting, friends escaping the city, or anyone seeking creative inspiration from nature’s grandeur.
The home is surrounded by serene outdoor spaces designed for pure relaxation. Gaze out over the expansive ocean or up at the starry night sky while staying warm beside one of the firepits. Fire up the grill and gather with loved ones for a BBQ in the lower patio, because nothing pairs better with the ocean breeze than a savory meal shared outdoors.
The spacious deck offers sweeping views of the coastline that seem to stretch forever. Watch for passing whales, unwind in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars, or drift off for an afternoon nap to the rhythm of waves racing to the shore. The fresh ocean air, quiet seclusion, and endless views create the perfect setting to reset.
From the main 1000 sq ft deck to the elevated Crow’s Nest, every vantage point invites you to breathe deep and slow down. With multiple seating areas thoughtfully placed around the property, you’ll experience the ever-changing colors and moods of the sunset each evening.
Inside the Home: - Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the ocean - Open-concept living and dining areas - Chef’s kitchen with modern appliances - Cozy gas fireplace for misty mornings - Loft nook for work, reading, or overflow guests
Step inside to an open-concept living space centered around floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the Pacific. Cozy up by the fireplace, get lost in a good book, or simply sip coffee or wine as the ocean puts on a show. Dew Point Retreat makes you fall in love with the quiet rhythm of coastal life.
Simply looking out the large living window to find Osprey fishing, the occasional Bald Eagles, large numbers of California Brown Pelicans, seals with their pups lounging on submarine rock and seasonal whale watching.
Further in, the fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a joy, with modern appliances and all the tools you need to create a seafood feast or a simple breakfast spread. The adjacent dining area is ideal for low, scenic meals as nature plays your soundtrack.
At the end of each day, retreat to one of four tranquil bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for rest and relaxation. There is also an additional sofa bed available for your convenience. Outfitted with plush linens and calming décor, they offer a peaceful close to every coastal adventure. The primary suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom, sweeping ocean views, and private access to the deck—perfect for a quiet morning coffee or sunset wind-down.
The second bedroom offers a cozy queen bed, while the downstairs king bedroom and twin room provide comfort and privacy, with serene views of the surrounding landscape. The upstairs suite feels like a private observatory, with floor-to-ceiling views and direct access to the deck for sunset wind-downs.
Modern comforts meet laid-back charm. Thoughtful touches and top-notch appliances let you focus on the moment—not the to-do list.
“Honestly, I don’t think this house could be any better. The view from hot tub, is something magical - the Pacific Ocean as far as you can see. The kitchen is a dream! Everything was top notch, and I am a picky traveler!” - Annie
A beach nearby and stunning water views make this vacation home the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature at its most beautiful.
Just five minutes from the heart of Gualala, Dew Point Retreat puts you close to charming shops, coastal hikes, kayaking spots, and the stunning Bluff Trail at Gualala Point Regional Park. Explore tidepools, take a scenic drive along Highway 1, or venture north to Mendocino for a day trip.
Whether you're here to rest or roam, Dew Point Retreat is the kind of place that lingers with you. Come for the views, stay for the serenity, and leave with a heart full of ocean.

What a great spot!! We loved the deck and hot tub, place was clean and spacious. And we just sat in front of that window and watched the ocean for hours. Family of seals in the cove were pleasant company! Host was a great communicator and very easy to work with. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!
Such a beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for including the ocean view! The host was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
We had an amazing weekend at Dew Point. It surpassed our expectations in terms of amenities and views. The host was extremely accommodating and helpful.
The property, the house and the hosts were all wonderful. This is a spectacular location and house for a get away.
Special shout out to the view and kitchen.

Cheers Alex! Thank you we enjoyed hosting you and hope you will join us again!
Our 7 night stay at Dew Point Retreat was amazing! There are incredible views from all the windows - waking up to the view from the master bedroom was breathtaking. The art throughout the home and outside was stunning. We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen, again with the great views from the sink. Host Harman was very helpful throughout our stay. Looking forward to returning!

This beautiful home overlooking the Pacific was such a comfortable first getaway for our family of 4. Spacious, updated and beautiful, it had everything we needed. Great views, enclosed deck perfect for toddling people, plenty of blankets, tea and a hot tub for being extra cozy in changing Northern California climate.California fir being ext
We had the most wonderful stay over the Thanksgiving holidays with our family. Everything from stacked kitchen with great appliances and modern bathrooms to great-smelling and comfortable beds (a rare find these days) worked perfectly to make our time at the house unforgettable. And the views!… we already miss the views. We will definitely try to rent this place again in the future!

The four of us had an incredible time at Dew Point. The house is stunning, the views impeccable and the communication with the owners excellent. There are so many beautiful ful sitting areas and the nearby towns and coast are charming. The owners designed the home to perfection and even had a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us. We can’t wait to return!

My family and I stayed in this gorgeous house in Gualala. The view was breathtaking and the extra amenities were a fabulous perk. If you love to cook like I do, you will love the kitchen! Top notch appliances and everything you need to make your stay comfortable. This will definitely be on my list of houses to rent again.

Cheers, The Duckhams
Our stay was really magical. The home is outfitted with everything you could possibly need - lots of towels and kitchen accessories. Everything was very comfortable, including the beds and the sofas -we especially appreciated the blackout curtains in the bedrooms. There were cozy blankets in every room and the hot tub, looking out onto the cliffs and the ocean was relaxing and peaceful. It was also very easy to communicate with the owner and the house had a manual that made staying there very easy. Our family would love to be able to stay there again.

Annie! We wanted to make sure and thank you for your amazing review from May! We hope you will remember Dew Point when you thin about your next get away! Have a wonderful Fall Season.
Thank you again! The Duckhams!
Sometimes, when you search for a nice place to stay, to treat your family to a special get away, you fall prey to property embellishments. In this case there were zero embellishments. This home is loaded with amenities. It has a first class kitchen with everything you need to make anything. The common living and dining areas are spacious and comfortable. As are all of the bedrooms. To top all of this off , the views of the coastline are fabulous.

Walt, we wanted to personally thank you for you wonderful review! Keep us in mind for your next get away! Have a wonderful fall season! The Duckhams
We were two couples each with a toddler, and this house served as an excellent base to explore the area. (The only problem was we didn’t really want to leave the house!)
The house has fantastic views, as pictured, and high quality furnishings and finishes. At the same time, everything seemed hard-wearing so we felt able to relax despite having two toddlers running around. (The cliffs to the ocean were no issue for smaller kids due to the beautiful enclosed deck, which has swimming-pool-style gate—leaving only the internal stairs to protect).
Luxurious quality in every aspect of this home. It was the perfect venue for our stay, and was the ideal setting for a family meal after we attended the memorial service for our mom. The kitchen was very well stocked, and being able to eat both inside and out on the patio with those spectacular views was a wonderful way to conclude our day.My girlfriend was amazed that every time she went to look for something, not only did they have it, it was exactly where she would have put it. The heated toilet seats quickly became a family favorite, and my biggest issue was needing to drag my girlfriend out of the house when we needed to head home. The master bedroom simply has to be seen in person to do it justice.If you stay here, you will not be disappointed.
