Del Mar has a large heated outdoor pool, two tennis courts, and saunas. Moonraker has a small heated outdoor pool, a tennis/pickleball court, and saunas. Ohlson has a large heated outdoor pool, saunas, three tennis courts, a half-basketball court, and a volleyball court. The amenities pass allows for six guests at a time. If you have more than six guests in your party and everyone wants to use the amenities at the same time, you will need to purchase a day pass from the HOA. They are $5/guest per day. AS OF 07/30/25,
Heads up -- there is an active construction project on the neighboring lot. Work typically takes place on weekdays from 7 AM to 7 PM, and occasionally on weekends. While it may result in some noise during those hours, evenings and most weekends remain peaceful and quiet.
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.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Great house: great location, minutes from the ocean and close to gualala and golf course. Great hosts; responsive and helpful. But there just wasn’t proficient or adequate best control. One issue? Fine, I get it, I have chickens. But a spawning ant colony IN the kitchen, a coon living under the porch greeting is nightly, and your standard rodent issues. But we still had a great time, just be prepared for some wild life.

Daniel, thank you for being so straightforward about what you experienced. The ant colony in the kitchen and the rodent activity are things we take seriously, and we hear you that the combination of issues crossed a line from "quirky coastal property" into genuinely disruptive. You're right that raccoons are a reality along this stretch of coast, but that doesn't mean guests should feel caught off guard by the full picture. We're reviewing our pest control protocols for this property to make sure we're doing more than the baseline. We're glad you still found joy in the trip, and we appreciate the honesty it took to tell us plainly.

The place looks just as advertised in the pictures! There was a loft & 2 rooms in the main house that opened out to the main patio and big jacuzzi plus a separate guest house that was very roomy and only a hot tub away from the guest house. The only downside was how hot and stuffy the bedrooms and guest house got in the afternoon, after opening the sliding doors and windows it was ok. Don't expect an AC system since this is on the coast, the cool ocean breeze should and was enough to cool down the room to a decent temperature. Overall a great house with a large driveway for a few cars to fit and exit without blocking each other. It was also about a 10 min walk to the shore where there were tidal pools and seals sunbathing on rocks. Absolutely serene environment and comfortable lodging for a big group. Also major appreciation for the host, Joe, for being super responsive & for accommodating an early check in so that we could make preparations to surprise our friends.

We had a great stay and loved the double hot tub option. It was great having the guest house and our kids enjoyed having their own space to hang out. The beds could use some updating, they were not comfortable and way too firm. There was a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen but it wasn’t a huge amount and they had traps out. All in all it was a great place to stay.
