Summary:

The Sonoma Coast stretches out before you from this well-placed Sea Ranch home. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Step outside to a deck overlooking the ocean. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 10-minute walk to the heated community pool. Your front door opens to Sea Ranch's 50 miles of trails and the wild Sonoma Coast. Morning coffee tastes different when the view is the Pacific -- and it never gets old.



The Space:

From the comfortable living room to the handmade quilts on the beds, you will feel like the owner has personally rolled out the welcome mat to this Sea Ranch home.



Designed by Phil Bradley and built by Harold Halvorsen, this 1,300-square feet home is built on a natural rock out-cropping overlooking white water and commons near Pebble Beach. There are nice decks on both sides of the house and a small landscaped yard area and enclosed area. This is a great house for a family of six, including up to two dogs. A wood stove supplements the central forced air heat.



Come relax at The Sea Ranch with a stay at this delightful retreat!

The Neighborhood:

Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include community heated pool and hot tub (South) (10-minute walk), Pebble Beach access trail (14-minute walk), Black Point headland trails (2-minute drive). Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. Gualala is a quick 10-minute drive south for groceries, dining, and fuel. For a scenic outing, Jenner and Bodega Bay are further down Highway 1.



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:

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.



Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.



Up to 2 dogs are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
