The Neighborhood:
Welcome to The Sea Ranch -- ten miles of rugged Sonoma coastline where modern architecture and wild nature exist in harmony. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (15-minute walk), Shell Beach tidepools (5-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (5-minute drive). Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. For provisions, Gualala (10 minutes south) has grocery stores, restaurants, and a gas station. Jenner and Bodega Bay are scenic drives south.
Getting Around:
Sea Ranch is about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco -- take Highway 101 to Highway 1 for one of California's most scenic coastal drives. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, roughly 90 minutes east. A car is the way to go for exploring the area.

Best for guests aged 12 and up.
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.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

I think they need to have more towels everywhere most were in the laundry room. Maybe a binder with information about the resources in that area since we had never been up that way. Restaurants, stores things to do and places to go would have been great.
The home was wonderful, well cared for and well-stocked for family style living and cooking…we only had two, very minor, inconveniences…first, when we arrived the Sea Ranch area was experiencing higher than normal temperatures and we were dismayed that the house air-conditioning system was “inoperative”… but fortunately the house cooled down considerably once the sun set, so it turned out fine…second, we were disappointed that the sauna in the master suite was also labeled as “inoperative”…a sauna would have been a lovely ending to a day of hiking and/or swimming…but our overall stay and enjoyment of this spectacular home was unique and very memorable.

Indigo
The house has beautiful views, easy access to cliff trails, and is close to the town of Gualala, (perfect for shopping and take out). There is ample seating, and the kitchen is very well stocked. Plenty of utensils, plates, cooking pans, glasses etc., which is sometimes lacking in vacation rentals. The bedrooms are large and there is a nice back patio. The house is very clean and we were given plenty of tp and bath items. Within walking distance of one of the three pools. A number of non-essential items do not work. (Such as ice maker and garbage disposal). These did not distract from our lovely experience, but you will need to buy a bag of ice.

Hi, Anne! We're happy to read you enjoyed your visit to Indigo. The garbage disposal has been found working correctly, but the ice maker is non functional. It is not an advertised amenity and will not be repaired. Thanks!

Beautiful space, well appointed & stocked, responsive host
One of the nicest vacation rentals I've seen, especially in Sea Ranch. Really generous common spaces and lovely bedrooms, well-stocked kitchen (LOVED how many plates, glasses, etc. there were - never had to panic about running out), lovely outdoor space. We used the hot tub and it was great. All & all a terrific rental, I'd definitely go back.
Indigo is a beautiful home at Sea Ranch with an unobstructed view of meadows and the ocean. Great kitchen and very comfortable beds. Really loved the house. Instructions for obtaining parking hang tags and a rental agreement that would permit access to SR pools and other facilities were missing at check-in and the app was not clear about how to obtain these. This caused some problems for us. Also, while the kitchen was very nicely kitted out, there were only two replacement trash bags (for a 6 night stay) and insufficient dishwasher pods for the stay. This felt stingy considering the expense of the rental.

Absolutely Incredible
Immaculately clean, incredible view, super comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen.... I have high standards for vacation rentals and this blew them all away. In a dream life, I would live here.
The home is beautiful, comfortable, well stocked, spacious, amazing location and views. Vacasa service was terrible - they didn’t leave the passes for parking and access to the rec centers, so we could have gotten towed and couldn’t access the rec center on our one full day there. We had to hunt down their local offices and they were closed. They don’t respond to the phone calls or emails to resolve anything. What if a pipe burst or something? Unrealistically early Checkout time with upsells for a late checkout while asking us to strip beds and get laundry started even though we are paying almost $300 for cleaning.

Peaceful Perfection
We loved our stay at this Sea Ranch home. It was a quiet location with a view I’d the ocean, numerous deer and hares. The waves crashing on the shore made the hot tub seem exotic. There were more than enough kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc. We had brought all out food and spices so that made life easier. Our family uses the board games, etc. when it rained in between star gazing at the clearest of skies we’ve seen in ages.
We can’t wait to go back!
