Morning fog lifts to reveal blue Pacific horizons -- this is ocean-view living at its best. Curl up by the fireplace as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific. Room for 4 in this 1-bedroom home. Walk to local restaurants, river access, and Gualala Point Regional Park. River kayaking, beach bonfires, and redwood hikes -- all from your doorstep.
The space
A walkable, in-town location meets a tranquil country setting at this inviting home in Gualala, a escape with blue-water views of the Pacific Ocean. In this secluded coastal town on the rugged Northern California Coast, you'll enjoy a quiet piece of property that's surrounded by wind-blown cypress and lush vegetation, backing up to a seasonal creek.
The interior makes use of natural wood, including beamed ceilings, richly hued walls, and a staircase that was hand-crafted in the Craftsman style.
When the sun is shining on the coast, you can walk to the bluff at Robinson Gulch, light the gas grill for an afternoon barbecue, or simply relax in the fresh air in the yard or on one of the two decks with seasonal views of the creek. And when the fog rolls in, you can retreat indoors to toss the provided beach towels in the washer/dryer, warm up by the gas fireplace, and watch a DVD or stream a favorite on the Smart TV.
When it's time to turn in, you'll find one bedroom with a queen-size bed on the main level and another, loft-style room with a queen-size bed upstairs; both bedrooms have access to an outdoor deck. Glennen Beach and Cooks Beach are both less than two miles north.
KITCHEN & DINING
Craft your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with dishwasher, making cleanup a breeze. With seating for your group, mealtimes become part of the experience.

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 for wildflower season -- the hills above Gualala and the river trails burst with lupine and California poppies. June through September brings the warmest weather. Morning fog is part of the charm -- it usually clears to reveal blue skies.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Natures Paradise was just that, a paradise! It felt like a home away from home (but with better views 😉). There are several decks you can relax on and all have amazing (partial) ocean views. We enjoyed coffee with the woodpecker and wine at sunset on the decks. The neighborhood is stunning with lots of amazing lookout points with the best sunset views, and just a short drive into town. On the foggier days it was nice to turn on the fireplace and watch a movie/ play a board game since the space felt very cozy almost like a cabin. The kitchen is big and had everything you could think of and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Check in/Check out was smooth and the Casago team was very helpful and easy to get a hold of.
This was the first family vacation I have been on since I was a kid and we all fell in love with this little slice of paradise. I had no expectations going in but I think we might make this an annual trip since everything was so perfect. 10/10 highly recommend!

Casado was very responsive and helpful. Beds are comfy. We loved the roomy decks in back. A negative thing is that the inside is dark. If you want a bright cheery place, this is not it. Dark paneling and low wattage light bulbs make it dim all around. If you will cook, bring your own aluminum foil, etc. Check out is super easy - just close and lock all the windows and doors. Would stay there again.

Viduya, "another wonderful stay" is exactly what we hope to hear, and knowing Nature's Paradise continues to feel like a place worth returning to genuinely means a lot to us. It sounds like the access went smoothly this time around, which is a small but important thing, and we're glad it didn't get in the way of your trip. Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. Guests like you, who come back and let us know how things went, are the reason we care so much about getting the details right.
