Great home. Quiet location. Easy access
The Beacon in Gualala was perfect. It's a few short minutes to Hwy 1 and downtown Gualala. Groceries at Surf Market and restaurants nearby in Gualala made this an easy home base for exploring the coast. Gualala Point Regional Park and Kayak rentals nearby made it easy to get to the shore. The home felt like staying at a friend's home. Beds were comfortable. House was very clean and well stocked. Deck with an ocean view is a nice place to start and end the day. Check in and check out was easy, hosts were readily available and checked in a few times to make sure we had everything we needed.

Hi Clint,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re so happy you felt at home at The Beacon—that truly means a lot to us. It sounds like you made the most of your time in Gualala, and we love knowing you enjoyed the home as well as the relaxing deck throughout your stay. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope you’ll find your way back to the coast again soon!
Warmly,
Deanna & Duncan
The property owners took a extra special effort to make sure this place had all the conveniences of home and everything in its place. Like most older properties, it has a couple of idiosyncrasies, but those can be overlooked due to the attention to detail provided by the owners. Would recommend in a heartbeat! Loved our stay.
