About this property
Inspired by a view of the Sea
A writer's paradise, this home has had more best selling books written within its walls than any home on the Mendocino Coast line. An inspiration to authors (and anyone else looking for inspiration), the energy at 247 Solstice in Sea Ranch is tranquil and still–making it the perfect romantic get away, writer's retreat from the world, or a special family vacation. Decorated with the ocean in mind, the house is elegant and comfortable all at once. Three bedrooms (one set up for kids with two sets of bunk beds sleeping 4), one queen guest room, and one California King, this 2500 square foot home is perfect for one to two couples and four kids. There is also a comfortable day-bed in the living room that can sleep an additional guest.
With chairs and sitting areas to fall back into in every corner, the home is the ideal respite to grab a book and disappear into its pages. A perfect setting to enjoy all of the amenities of coastal living at its best, a short walk from a sauna and heated pool plus tennis courts. The private sea ranch foot path is just off the deck, and stretches for about 13 miles up and down one of the most gorgeous cliff-side coastlines in the world. Walk-on beach is a mere ten minute trek, but there's no need to go further than the front room for full enjoyment of a spectacular view to watch the whales go by from the couch. Additional guest fee for more than 2 persons will be $50.00 per night per guest.

Amazing home with perfect views of the ocean. Living room very cozy and overall an awesome experience. Wish there was a hot tub but you can’t go wrong booking this place for special family vacations. Access with the community pool is clutch. We will be back! Thanks
This house was exactly what I needed to relax, unwind and recharge. The views can't be beat, and the bluff trail is just a few steps from the back deck. What I most appreciated was how comfortable and homey the house felt. Bedding and blankets were extremely comfortable, and basics are provided. Some rentals feel scrubbed and sterile - not this one! This house feels welcoming. I hope to return with my daughter and husband.
The house is well appointed and has a beautiful view of the ocean. Close to trails and beaches, has all the amenities you would need. Our family of 5 had a very comfortable stay and a great time!
We had the most amazing stay! The views from every room upstairs are unbelievable. The house itself was so comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. Communication was fast and easy with the host and she was just awesome! Will definitely be back!
Spent a few nights at this residence towards the end of an extended vacation. The home was perfect for my family and the property manager was very helpful. The home provided perfect views no matter where you were of the ocean and access to the trails/community resources made it to where you never had to leave the area. When returning to the area for a vacation again I hope this property is available.
This is our 3rd time staying at this property and it never fails to impress. The views from every window and the sound of the ocean are our favorite part.
This place hits all the marks. So close to the bluff trail, the views and sounds of the ocean from all rooms and the deck are spectacular. The home is so comfortable, featuring luxurious and tasteful furnishings with all amenities. The thoughtful design well reflects that of the amazing planners and stewards of The Sea Ranch.

Thank you, Tim! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We loved having you as a guest and hope that you return! Thanks again, Tim!
Gorgeous home, close to the water. It is very well equipped and even has a garage available for our use. This was our third stay here and will not be the last.
Just what we were looking for in this short getaway. A house on the cliffs near the ocean, beautiful views from the deck and inside the house. The house is very clean and nicely decorated. Walking the adjacent trail was a great experience. Sitting on the deck listening to the ocean with a morning cup of coffee and an afternoon full of wine and laughter was the highlight of this amazing home. Only downside was the wind.
Our family of four stayed at this amazing location for Spring Break and had an wonderful time. The house is so peaceful and well appointed, the views are spectacular. We would go back in a heartbeat.
We really enjoyed our stay here especially the deck and the ocean views. Sea Ranch is a very special place. Don’t miss the seal beach and long walks on the bluff trail. Also Trinks, Anabel’s clothing consignment and Salvarae in Gualala and dinner at the Sea Ranch Lodge.
