Gualala is a small town located on the Mendocino Coast in northern California, known for its beautiful beaches, redwood forests, and laid-back atmosphere. The town is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and art galleries, as well as several campgrounds and hiking trails. One of the most popular things to do here is to visit the Gualala River Redwood Park, home to a grove of ancient redwood trees, some of which are over 2,000 years old. Visitors can hike through the park, picnic, or camp. Another popular activity is whale watching. The town is located on a major whale migration route, and whales can often be seen from the shore or from one of the many whale watching tours that are offered. If you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Gualala is the perfect place for you!

Nice and functional home

Great views on the ocean from multiple places, also on the forest behind. Everything is very functional and in good shape. Terrific location, although you can't walk to the ocean. Minor caveats: terrible wifi and no dishwasher.

Lovely stay

An excellent quiet relaxing holiday. Beautiful 'cabin' with everything you'll need in the kitchen, spa tub, majestic views & great location for hikes, dining & hanging with the locals. Trying to carve our another spot on the calendar for the next trip. Tip, leave no food out on the counter. There's a bit of an ant issue.

One of the Very BEST Rental Homes I've Ever Rented

This home is beautiful and there were no surprises because the home was exactly as shown in the pictures (this is not always the case). The home was EXCEPTIONALLY clean. The decor was just perfect - not too much, it felt like a home and the colors were just enough. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone that is going to visit the Mendocino coast. Lots of attractions are nearby, A-1 restaurants are in the area. Great place to stay and visit the northern California coast.

Very nice but could be better

The house is charming, somewhat isolated and quiet. 3 stars for a terrible long uphill gravel driveway. Comfortable beds but uncomfortable sheets in master. Limited cooking supplies such as pots and pans and finally a bathtub drain that doesn’t close.

Wonder Experience on the Pacific

My wife and I loved our time in the cabin. It was clean and comfortable. Most importantly, it had a beautiful view of the Pacific, whether you were looking from the large front window or relaxing on the deck. The cabin was also a wonderful starting point to explore Mendocino County. The folks at the Anchor Bay store were extremely helpful and kind. I would highly recommend the Hi-Tor cabin.

Great place

We loved this house! It was exactly as showed on the photos. Beautiful ocean views from every room, clean and the perfect size for 2 adults and 2 kids. In the woods but close to supermarket and beach acres. You can’t walk to the beach but it’s like a 5 min drive. House is well equipped and Wi-Fi works great. My only wish that check out would be at 11 am not 20 am. We had a lot of fun and planning to return here. Everything was really perfect!

Great weekend getaway

I needed a quick weekend getaway from Napa, and this house was in the perfect location. I could pop up north to explore Mendocino, or head south to explore Sea Ranch. The home itself was well appointed and looked just like the photos. Everything was clean, and working. The view was nice, and when I open the windows or sat on the deck I could hear waves, birds, and even seals barking. Kitchen was set up well. The jetted tub worked great and made for a nice soak at the end of a day of exploring. I'd book this place again.

Great view and location!!!

This was our second time in the Gualala area. The home is cozy and clean. The kitchen is fairly well equipped. The both beds are very nice with nice linens.
