Floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, private hot tub on the enclosed courtyard, fenced yard for kids and the dog, EV charger. Sleeps 8 in 3 queens plus a sleeper sofa.

The space

A vaulted great room with two anchors: a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace at one end and a wall of glass at the other, looking across the meadow to the Pacific. The ocean view carries to the dining table and the primary bedroom. CHEF'S KITCHEN Great gas range and hood, roomy fridge, dishwasher, air fryer, pod and drip coffee makers, and a full run of cookware, bakeware, and flatware. Spice rack stocked; salt, pepper, and oil provided. Eat at the granite breakfast bar or the long dining table built for group dinners, puzzles, and pizza nights. THE GREAT ROOM Sunken and beamed, with deep sofas around the fire (firewood provided), a smart TV, and board games. Foggy evening? Light the fire and watch the last color leave the water. OUTDOOR LIVING Private hot tub on the enclosed front courtyard, yours any time; Sea Ranch is a dark-sky community, so a night soak comes with seemingly infinite stars. Front patio with an outdoor sectional and BBQ grill. Fenced, enclosed yard where young kids and the dog can roam. FAMILY LAYOUT Primary suite upstairs with the ocean view, smart TV, desk, and ensuite bath. Two quiet queen bedrooms downstairs. Sleeper sofa in the living room. SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Three queen bedrooms plus a living-room sleeper sofa sleep up to 8: - Bedroom 1 (primary, upstairs): Queen bed, ocean view, smart TV, desk, and an ensuite bath with a tiled walk-in shower and oversized single vanity - Bedroom 2 (downstairs): Queen bed with a small desk - Bedroom 3 (downstairs): Queen bed - Living room: Sleeper sofa - 3/4 bath: Glass walk-in shower and pedestal sink The two downstairs bedrooms sit away from the great room, so kids can sleep while the grown-ups stay up by the fire.

Neighborhood

Returning guests may know this home as SeaBreeze Sanctuary. It sits on the hill side of The Sea Ranch, where the meadow rolls down toward Highway 1 and the Pacific fills the horizon. A trail runs right below the house, and the Shell Beach trailhead is a short walk away; from there the 0.65-mile Shell Beach trail crosses meadow and pines to a wide sandy beach with tide pools. Plan on 15 to 20 minutes door to sand, including the Highway 1 crossing. The oceanfront Bluff Trail runs for miles past coves and tide pools, and forest trails climb into the redwoods and Bishop pines behind the house. Walk On Beach and Black Point Beach are close by car. Wildlife is part of the stay: deer and wild turkeys cross the meadow, quail scurry along the fence line, harbor seals lounge on the rocks below the bluffs, and gray whales pass offshore during their half year stays along the banana belt. The Sea Ranch Lodge offers oceanfront dining, drinks, and sunset views, and Sea Ranch Golf Links is a short coastal drive. Gualala is about a 10-minute drive north: Surf Market for groceries, Trinks Cafe for breakfast and pastries, plus galleries and small shops. Head south along Highway 1 for Two Fish Baking Company, Fort Ross, and the Jenner coast. Ask about the owner's nearby foraging outing along this stretch of coast; it is arranged separately and is not part of the stay (see other things to note below).

Things to know

The private hot tub is on the enclosed front courtyard and is yours to use any time. Please keep voices low after 9 PM. The Sea Ranch is a designated dark-sky community. Exterior lighting is intentionally minimal, so bring a flashlight or headlamp for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast, hot tub included. Cell service in The Sea Ranch can be spotty. Wi-Fi is provided, and there are desks in the primary and second bedrooms for remote work. All TVs are smart TVs, sign in with your own streaming accounts.
