Sea Ranch with ocean view across from Del Mar Pool

Unit Code 34A Lot #4424N. Charlie’s Retreat provides a rare mix of elegant Sea Ranch design, stunning ocean views, and practical comfort for a relaxing vacation.

Designed by legendary Sea Ranch architect Obie Bowman, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home centers on a great room/kitchen with floor-to-ceiling windows and gorgeous panoramic ocean views.

Four ensuite bedrooms flank both sides of the great room, creating ample space for privacy, remote working, reading a good book, or just gazing at the ocean and west meadow wildlife. Both primary suites have stunning views, one with its private deck. All bedrooms have desks and computer monitors too – if you need to work or start on that novel you’ve always wanted to write.

With an open concept great room/kitchen/dining room, cook in the well-stocked kitchen while friends sip wine and kids play board games or watch a movie

The home’s outdoor spaces are abundant, with an enclosed courtyard garden at the front and an expansive ocean-view deck off the great room.

The house also has a whole-house backup generator so you can be cozy during the occasional power outages on the coast.

A fabulous spot for a dog-friendly family vacation, a week of remote working or a retreat with friends.

A wonderful off-the grid weekend

This property is the nicest vacation home I have had the pleasure of staying in. Kitchen was beyond well stocked, beds were comfortable, the list goes on-and-on. The location is blissful and quiet. A wonderful place to spend an off the grid weekend with family and friends.

Stayed here with some college friends and all our little kids. Every room has an en-suite bathroom, so every family had some privacy and our own space. But we spent most of the time hanging in the living room and the back deck. We also enjoyed the fire pit for s’mores and used the grill too. The house is in a great location. We did some walks and a few of us used the tennis courts across the street. Plus we were such a close drive to Gualala that running out for groceries or grabbing a bite to eat was easy.

The four bedrooms are comfortable - two have ocean views, all have attached bathrooms. The amenities are wonderful for a large group - coffee makers, lots of large pots and pans, really all the appliances that are needed with large fridges and plenty of baking goods. There is a nice courtyard in front and a deck in back, perfect for hanging out together.

Best Sea Ranch Stay

Our family has stayed in a variety of Sea Ranch homes for over 20 years. We all decided that this was THEE BEST! The beds were extremely comfortable; having ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom, was a real plus; the natural color tones throughout the house, we're very calming; it was easy to work in the kitchen, and it was extremely well supplied; of the two outdoor patio venues, the front one had heaters and

The view is lovely and the kids had a ball being so close to the pool. The kitchen is wonderfully supplied with every dish and utensil you could want. Having ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom made it easy to share the house with 8 people.

Great place to celebrate an 80th birthday!

This property was amazing! It fit our large family, ranging in all ages, perfectly, along with the dogs. The kitchen had every pot, pan, bowl, and utensil you needed to cook a variety of dinners, including a birthday cake. The court yard was perfect to BBQ as well as accommodate the dogs without having to worry about them running off. The views were amazing! There was an intense storm but we managed a few walks down the trails which were beautiful. Loved how every room had its own bathroom. Would definitely come back! Thank you Charlie’s Retreat!

Wonderful Thanksgiving at Sea Ranch

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time at Charlie's Retreat. Location was fantastic (short walk to the bluff trails and just across the street from the Del Mar Rec Center), the house was incredibly well-stocked, and the rooms were very comfortable. We very much appreciated the ready-instructions for anything that was not intuitive. All in all, Charlie's Retreat was a DREAM and we felt very fortunate to enjoy the week there.

Our one challenge was the lack of counter space for cooking and the limited seating in the living room for movie watching. View was lovely and dining table was great for the family. Home was very clean and appreciated the decorative details. Always a great stay at the Sea Ranch

Perfect House and Location for Family Getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in 20+ houses in Sea Ranch over many years. It's a challenge to find a four bedroom house, especially one that is in beautiful condition and with lovely views. This is a winner. Loved it and would rent it again. Kitchen is very well equipped, though a little tight for more than 2 chefs. Flow of house works very well. Bedrooms are spacious. Bathrooms are updated. Outdoor spaces are excellent. A couple of small items that malfunctioned during our stay (a towel rod, a drawer) but nothing unusual for a rental property.

Charlies Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful home and location. Vacation homes aren't always as good in reality as they are in the photos, but Charlies Retreat did not disappoint. Its a short walk to the trail heads and even short walk to Del Mar rec center - a huge plus. It's also quite private - we never saw a neighbor while there. The interior is exactly as pictured and though the renovations are older they were clearly well done/timeless and the furniture has mostly been updated making the house feel very fresh and high end. It's filled with interesting books and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. The fireplace was not working while we were there and the outdoor fireplace overlooking the ocean looks like it's seen better days, but otherwise the house was immaculate. We would absolutely return and loved our stay there!

Stunning home with gorgeous views and easy access to everything

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 Stars! I don’t normally give detailed reviews, but I’ve stayed in many Sea Ranch rentals and this is far and away the best. We were a house of 8 people for a team meeting – all with comfortable beds and enough space to host 12 for dinner. The house was spotless, bright, and sunny, and the open living/dining/kitchen area was perfect for relaxing with a book, looking out at a stunning view, and entertaining nearby friends. Beds were extremely comfortable – note two bunk rooms with a top bunk that was actually cozy. The kitchen is better stocked than my own home with all the cookware and serving utensils I needed, including a Breville Expresso Maker which churned out the best home coffee I’ve had in a long time! The location is excellent – calming views of open grassland with the ocean in the background, just a 7 mins walk down to the coastal trail, across the street to morning yoga, swimming, and tennis through Del Mar Community Center and just a quick 5 mins drive to Gualala. It is hard to beat the comfort, cleanliness, views, and location of Charlie's Retreat. This is my absolute favorite Sea Ranch home away from home and it will be first on my list on my next visit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 4 couples, 2 kids, and everyone found something to do and fun to be had. Hosts provided many kitchen basics, which was helpful. Towels, linens, beds, and furniture all comfortable and high quality. The books and games were another plus. Thoughtful hosts. And the Sea Ranch rec options also enjoyable--sauna, pickleball, swimming, and of course the ocean. Highly recommend. Front entry stepping stones only minor gripe--having a sprained foot, I found them challenging to navigate. All else lovely.
