Toto House

The stay

Panoramic ocean views greet you from the moment you walk through the door. Your deck is a front-row seat to the Pacific. Room for 6 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 12-minute walk to the heated community pool. Trails, tidepools, and two heated community pools -- all within reach. The rhythm of the waves sets the pace here -- unhurried mornings, lingering sunsets, deep sleep. Winter storms put on a show from the safety of the living room -- nature's own theater.

The space

Toto House, a classic family-friendly Sea Ranch home, lets you vacation in style with panoramic ocean, meadow, and sky views and beach access a short walk away. The well-appointed gourmet kitchen and large dining area are great for feeding a large group while the woodstove and private deck offer comfort in any weather. Designed by Steve Brodie, AIA, and named after an indigenous word for owl, this home and its backyard meadow are visited by wildlife including birds, deer, foxes, and more. This house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to one of the famed hedgerows and near the scenic Bluff Trail, which offers views of the ocean and access points down to the sandy beach. Salal Creek Cove is about a five-minute walk away, Walk On Beach and Shell Beach are about 10 minutes away by bicycle, and Gualala Point Park is about 20 minutes on foot. A five-minute drive will bring you to groceries, art galleries, and restaurants in Gualala.

Things to know

Full kitchen (with dishwasher and commercial Wolf range with extra-large oven) 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. 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 and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons. Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.
