Guest access
From the kitchen to the deck, everything in this home is at your disposal. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. This home welcomes up to 2 dogs -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Driveway parking is available at the property.

Things to know
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.

We stayed with a group of friends and it was a great time.
Very close to beaches. Deers walked by throughout the day. Kitchen was great to cook in for our group.
We also loved the amount of books and games they had, overall a very peaceful and restoring stay.🙂

Our stay in sea ranch was a dream! The house is stunning and blends right into the landscape. There is a trail that walks right down from the back porch to a stunning beach. The hot tub was amazing and the kitchen was very well stocked

My partner and I spent several days at Cadwalader House with friends (three other couples), and the house was a perfect fit for us: large enough to hold us all, but still feel intimate. Convenient access to the Bluff Trail, well-equipped kitchen, lovely porch with hot tub, and bonus points for a very comfortable TV room where we piled in to watch the World Cup final.

great place for my yearly family vacay including our two dogs and two grandkids.... they all loved it.... one upstairs bedroom is above living room with tv and has an open balcony so tough to fall asleep up there, if there's conversation or tv on underneath but it was manageable. a bit of difficulties with the tv and some plumbing, but we managed with two showers instead of three. The wildlife that came to see us were peaceful and calming and the short walk to that little beach was perfect... quiet with tons of shells etc for the kids and the dogs got to run with the waves. A great 5 days for my family.

We had a wonderful stay. The house had all the features and advantages that drew us to it, and it's right in the heart of our favorite part of Sea Ranch. The hosts were very responsive, including immediately sending someone to solve a minor electrical issue that arose during our stay. We'd happily come back!
