This Northern California vacation rental is located in The Sea Ranch, a unique community in just south of Gualala and about 50 miles south of Mendocino. Further north, the Mendocino Coast offers breathtaking sights and lighthouses including Point Cabrillo and Point Arena. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.
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. Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. 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. Up to 1 dog 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.

Rainbow’s End - crisp, updated finishes, and all the amenities we needed - very workable kitchen, spacious master suite, and sizable hot tub. With its calming outlook and convenient access to wooded walks to Black Point Beach, Moonraker Recreational Center, and the Sea Ranch Lodge, we found it perfectly relaxing.
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a nice dinner. In the evening, we used the hot tub to watch the stars and listen to the ocean and to keep ourselves warm. It's a great place to escape your work routine and truly relax.
A lovely Sea Ranch house in the classic style with seamless updates. Dog-friendly, cozy, and well stocked. The photos don't do it justice. We had a lovely time, despite an area-wide power outage (the grill and fire place still worked).
It’s clean and the outside is neat.
We frequently stay in Sea Ranch, and always love our stays. This property was beautifully updated and comfortable. The spa was great, and we appreciated all of the dog-friendly amenities!
A great value for Sea Ranch. Nice spot on the ocean side of the highway. It is close to the highway, but we noticed minimal noise from the road. Beautiful ocean view from the home. 10 minute walk to the bluff trail. Amenities were excellent. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. TV area was comfortable and there was wood for the well-maintained stove. Not a particularly large house, but it was perfect for a couple. I imagine it would work well for a small family too. The hot tub was very nice (and large). We have stayed at dozens of homes in and around Sea Ranch, and would place this home high on our list in terms of quality and value.
