It's all in the details at this stunning craftsman home here in the beautiful landscape of Gualala! Boasting unmatched exposed beam ceilings, partial ocean views from the spacious deck, and a lofted layout that will give everyone their own piece of paradise, there will be no need to leave this oasis. Start mornings out slow with a warm cup of coffee in the ocean breeze and let the chef of the group whip up a tasty breakfast for the whole gang in the perfectly equipped kitchen boasting a gas range and all of the appliances of home. After a full day of beach activities, draw a bath in the soaking tub as the dazzling colors of the sunset filter through the trees. When nights cool down, the in-floor radiant heated fir wood floors will be just the ticket to slip right into relaxation mode.
What's nearby:
Perched in an ideal location for coastal exploration and dreamy days on the sand, you will have no trouble filling your time making new memories to last a lifetime. Cooks Beach is where you will find the soft sand and crashing waves you have been dying to get a taste of, and the best part is that it is a half-mile walk from your front door. When you want to venture out a bit further, head into Gualala and pop into a local restaurant, hike along the bluffs, or grab a few necessities from one of the grocery stores.
Things to know:
High-speed WiFi
Full kitchen
There is a 'Welcome Wagon' locked to the new lamppost by the front gate. The code is provided in the check-in email. Please return and lock back up before departing.
**PLEASE NOTE THE WALKWAY TO THE HOUSE IS UPHILL AND CAN BE SLIPPERY, USE CAUTION**
