Getting Around:

The drive from San Francisco is approximately 2.5 hours via Highway 101 to Highway 1. Fly into Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, about 1.5 hours east, and rent a car. The Highway 1 drive along the coast is spectacular and worth building into your travel day.



Other Things to Note:

Home is equipped with High Speed fiber optic internet 100MBPS. Designed by renowned architect Don Jacobs, the classic post-and-beam construction features large windows and skylights that invite the natural beauty of the outdoors inside, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staggered floor plan provides both communal spaces for gathering and quiet nooks for solitude, including a small private office equipped with high-speed WiFi, perfect for remote work or creative pursuits.



Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Head to the bluffs and keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
