Gualala craftsman home with ocean views, deck & EV charger
Summary:
Wake to ocean views and the call of seabirds in this light-filled coastal home. Step outside to a deck overlooking the ocean. Room for 6 in this 2-bedroom home. Walk to St. Orres restaurant. All other dining, river access, and Gualala Point Regional Park are a short drive away. Small-town pace, big coastal beauty -- that's Gualala. Pelicans glide past the windows, and on clear days the horizon feels infinite. Summer fog burns off by midday, leaving warm afternoons perfect for trail hikes and tidepooling.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you had such a great stay and that the home provided a well-equipped kitchen and a comfortable setting to spend time together.
We appreciate your kind words and would be happy to host you again.
House and property was gorgeous, clean and cozy. We loved the book nook in the sun. Hot water system did malfunction a few times so that was inconvenient but the house managers were awesome and attentive so it wasn’t a problem. Loved this place, pictures do not do it justice!
Beautiful and unique home in a wonderful location, just across the street from the ocean. We had a lovely time cooking in the beautiful kitchen and enjoyed the ocean view every day!

Serene Oceanfront Retreat in Gualala
Highlights:
- Serene setting with majestic trees, flowers, zen garden and ocean views
- Comfortable, beautifully decorated interiors
- Fully equipped for a hassle-free stay
Minor note: Some of the interior decor is not kid-friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! My daughters loved the window seats for reading and the porch was an excellent place to relax and watch the ocean. The claw foot tub was a luxury! We’d definitely stay here again!

❤️ Loved Our Stay
The house was beautiful. Just as advertised. Absolutely loved the garden that surrounds. I could sit out there all day. Nice for a quite famiky get away. Will definitely be planning another stay.
The house was very welcoming. It was so quiet and peaceful, the perfect getaway for our 30th anniversary. Very comfortable and decorated very well. We loved the landscaping! Kitchen was nicely stocked w/dishes, glassware, utensils and cookware.

Lovely home
Very clean and nicely decorated home. All hardwood floors, well equipped with lots of attention to detail. Loved the window seats and ocean views!
Master suite was perfect, but second bedroom people had to go down 2 flights of stairs to use a bathroom.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad to hear that you found the master suite perfect. However, we understand that having to go down two flights of stairs to access the bathroom from the second bedroom can be quite inconvenient. We appreciate your input, as it helps us improve our accommodations for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.
This property was more beautiful than the images show. Everything was great. Wonderful location, walking access to the beach, house was stunning. Will definitely be returning

Better than expected!
A good location nestled in a wooded property right across from the ocean. A very cozy home with attention to detail.
The house is absolutely lovely! It feels like a treehouse, very private, with fantastic views. Booking and communication was easy peasy. Gualala is a cute little town near by that has everything you need. I would highly recommend this property. I might even book it again in the future.
This house was a perfect getaway to recharge our family's batteries. Fast wireless internet (2 kids doing Zoom school classes was no problem) and the views of the ocean from the deck and master bedroom are amazing. Only a 10 minute walk to Cook's Beach. The neighborhood is very dark and quiet so the stargazing at night was really something special.
Carefully appointed garden and house. Steep entrance through the garden. Nice to throw the windows open, relax and listen to the ocean. Nicely appointed kitchen had everything we needed.
Me and my wife have been visiting the north coast a few times a year for almost a decade now and we always stay in VRBOs. We normally try and book unique homes that embody the vibe of the area. This home was just exactly what we look for. Clean, accommodating and eccentric in the right ways. Would recommend.

Loved the home, the view was great, and decorating was delightful.
The home is obviously loved by the owners who have a great tastes. If you want to watch tv, it is not located in the best place, but we never watched it as the view was great. The walkway to the house is very bumpy and a bit of a slope.
