Open the door to panoramic Pacific views and endless coastal sunsets. Step outside to a deck overlooking the ocean. Room for 4 in this 2-bedroom home. Just a 6-minute walk to Black Point trails. Trails, tidepools, and two heated community pools -- all within reach. Cormorants dive and otters float just offshore -- nature's channel plays 24/7 from the windows. The wildflower meadows peak in April and May -- a photographer's dream along the bluff trails.
Gaze out at swaying coastal meadows and the wide Pacific Ocean from this classic, two-story Sea Ranch home. This exquisite oceanfront getaway features wide open living spaces, soaring ceilings, large windows, and plenty of amenities to ensure you have a truly memorable vacation at the coast. This artisan home was built by the owners, a father and son. The tile work and bathroom sinks, as well as all of the art and pottery, was the work of the late owner’s wife. Prepare your favorite recipes in the well-equipped kitchen, and then dine together at the adjacent table. And in the evenings, or on lazy or rainy days, you'll find an inviting living area with a large, flatscreen TV. This home also includes complimentary internet access and a desk and chair in the upstairs bedroom in case you need to sneak off for remote work or schooling. Come and discover the hidden pleasures of Sea Ranch! Sea Ranch is a planned, oceanside community boasting uniquely designed homes, the historic Sea Ranch Chapel, and a 50-mile trail system with multiple beach access points. Take morning walks down to Stengel Beach located less than a mile north or Pebble Beach, just a little over a mile south. Bring your clubs and tee off among the cypress at the Sea Ranch Golf Links five miles up PCH. OUTDOOR LIVING Step outside to the deck -- your front-row seat for Pacific sunsets and, in season, migrating gray whales. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Choose from 2 bedrooms, with queen beds that promise a great night's sleep. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 4. PROPERTY AMENITIES -- 2 bedrooms, 2 bath COMMUNITY AMENITIES (at Sea Ranch recreation centers) -- Heated pools and saunas (at Del Mar, Moonraker, and Ohlson rec centers) -- Tennis and pickleball courts (at rec centers) -- Miles of coastal bluff trails

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.

Great location. Beautiful views. The house was clean and tidy. Easy check in and not too many requirements for check out. It was one of my favorite locations but the house is a bit tired and has unusual layout with many random steps which makes it difficult for anyone with mobility or sight issues.

Neda, thank you for the kind words about the location and views, and for being so thoughtful in how you described the layout. You're right that Albatross Reach has a distinctive, multi-level design with those unexpected steps, and we want anyone considering it to go in with clear eyes, especially guests with mobility or sight concerns. The home is an original Sea Ranch architectural piece, and that character comes with some quirks that aren't for everyone. We'll make sure our listing does a better job of reflecting that honestly. We're grateful you still found it a favorite place, and we appreciate you sharing the full picture.

Very clean, new modern appliances; beautiful warm interior decor with plenty of linens, blankets etc.; wonderful location so close to the headlands trail and beaches yet far enough away from other homes to insure privacy and precious feeling of rural seclusion; very helpful, welcoming and responsive hosts, Could hear the sea from inside the house so very peaceful and beautiful weekend spent there. Thanks so much.
