The Bluff Trail and the beautiful, rugged shoreline are mere steps from this oceanfront home in Sea Ranch, spectacularly situated an easy stroll from Shell Beach. This is a place to wake up to a view of the ocean and cap your evenings by barbecuing, dining, and watching stunning sunsets outside on the expansive deck.
This multi-level home boasts an enviable oceanfront location close to the midpoint of Sea Ranch, with the Bluff Trail right outside your back door. Shell Beach - a local favorite for tidepooling - is half a mile north and Stengel Beach is less than a mile south. You'll be just over a mile from the Ohlson Recreation Center and its heated outdoor pool, saunas, and tennis courts. Small-town Gualala's markets, galleries, and conveniences are only five miles north as well.
Enter by way of a private, sheltered courtyard to be greeted by a living space with lofty ceilings, details of richly hued wood, and a back wall of picture windows framing the ocean and open meadow. Curl up in the window seat with a good book and the gas fireplace flickering, use the telescope to glimpse passing seals and whales, and set up a favorite board game at the dining room table.
The kitchen is uniquely equipped for family holidays and special get-togethers, offering a wealth of cooking and baking tools that include double ovens and a six-burner gas stove. There's a gas grill and an outdoor dining area on the deck overlooking the ocean, and an inviting den back inside where you can watch DVDs late into the night.
All of the bedrooms have views of the ocean, each in its own wing of the house. Additional features include complimentary WiFi and a private washer/dryer.

Summary: The location of the house is unmatched, you can literally sit in the living room and see whales in the ocean. Amazingly beautiful quiet area. The house is a good size and nicely decorated for the most part. The telescope did not work. And as others have noted the sheets for the pullout bed are very hard to find. FYI we found them in the walk-in kitchen pantry in a bin stuffed under the shelf. The house is beautiful, but it needs a deep clean. Lots of areas behind furniture with dustballs, light switches and kitchen areas not wiped down etc. There was one major issue during our stay. The smaller bathroom, which is downstairs from the main living area, was covered with tiny black flying insects (smaller than fruit fly) when we arrived. We understand this is a nature area, but the room was essentially unusable. It seemed they were either coming in through the screen or hatching somehwere in the room (vents?). Anyway, kind of a bummer. Property manager sent someone to clean up who only cleaned up some of it. The room was still not useable. We were told we could get a partial refund but then never heard back. I might think twice about renting from Vacasa again after that experience.In short, a beautiful, spacious house in a gorgeous location, but with some challenges in property management.
