Bowsprit Retreat - Oceanfront Sea Ranch home with hot tub & deck, dogs welcome

Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of ocean waves when you escape to this three- bedroom Sea Ranch home, a dog-friendly property with a private hot tub, an expansive ocean- facing deck, and a striking waterfront location. There is nothing between you and the Pacific but fresh salt air and the sound of the surf. End the day in your private hot tub with the ocean as your soundtrack. Step outside and the Pacific stretches before you -- this is the Sonoma Coast at its most dramatic. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. Sea Ranch community pools, tennis courts, and the Lodge are nearby. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Architecture, nature, and the Pacific -- Sea Ranch has it all. Remodeled and updated in Early 2025, the home has two new bathrooms, an updated kitchen, wood paneled walls, hardwood floors, and cozy furnishings-- the living room is full of rustic atmosphere and plush comfort. Gorgeously situated to face the Pacific Ocean and the wondrous rugged cliffs of The Sea Ranch, this home is just steps from the Bluff Trail and only a quarter mile (10-15 minute walk) north of Black Point Beach and the Sea Ranch Lodge. Watch the morning fog blanket the ocean, or use the telescope to search for passing grey whales, harbor seals, and dolphins. The panoramic ocean views continue in the full kitchen, which features a stainless refrigerator, plentiful counterspace, and a dishwasher to take care of the clean-up. Sip your morning coffee by the window at the kitchen table, or share pancakes and bacon with your loved ones around the dining room table for six. But nowhere are the views more magnificent than on the large ocean-facing deck, where guests can relax in Adirondack chairs, use the gas grill to prepare al fresco meals, and soak their sore hiking legs in the luxurious private hot tub. As one of the most understated and stretches of the Northern California Coast, Sea Ranch is a place to escape into nature. Walk among the local black-tailed deer as you hike the Bluff Trail, or play 18 scenic holes amid the cypress and pines at the Sea Ranch Golf Links. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Choose from 3 bedrooms.

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts.

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. December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon. Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash on trails and clean up after them. Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
