Lovely place with amazing view
Loved this place. Was super clean and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked (though spice cupboard could use a cleaning). The parking was easy and the location was very central to Gualala. But THE VIEW is the reason you stay here. It’s amazing. And the super clean hot tub on the deck watching the sunset is perfection. My only caveat that I would mention for others is that it’s not in a great walking area ( unless you want to walk to town). But all in all a gem of a home and would love to stay at again! Terry, the host, was very accommodating and communicative. It was a great vacation!

Great home and perfect location
If you are looking for a great place to get away from it all and relax this is it. The cliffside view is amazing and perfect. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to make great meals. The bidets were a nice added touch. The locals were very friendly. A great stay all around.

Magical coast
Terrys house and property were absolutely beautiful. Comfortably slept 8, and check in and check out were smooth and communicative. The view from the house is indescribable. Only question is why Terry doesn’t live here full time! Thank you so much Terry for such a memorable getaway. We appreciate you!

Views for Days or Even a Week!
Ideal location super accessible to Gualala, Sea Ranch Lodge and even 2 Fish Bakery, just a bit further! Creative interior design and well outfitted kitchen. The only strange design flaw is that the 2nd floor bedroom, which I'd call the Master bedroom, doesn't have a shower, so you need to go downstairs. Excellent communication with owner!

Fantastic property, great host interactions
This is a beautiful home in an amazing location. We had the most relaxing time, exploring the area, playing games, doing puzzles. The only downside was that our stay was too short! We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful Home! Comfy linens, well equipped kitchen and many thoughtful touches. The ocean is magical. I was celebrating my 69 th birthday with grown up kids and we all were impressed. Our stay was a 5 star experience.

A no-brainer stay
The property and view is even better than in the pictures. The hosts are also incredibly hospitable and made every part of our stay easy and memorable. This stay was far better managed and cared for than any professionally managed property we’ve stayed at. The hosts love their home and it shows. We felt so comfortable and didn’t want to leave. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is welll stocked, the heating and fireplace work great, and everything was up to date. Our only two (tiny) flags are that it would be even better if the shrubs out front would be trimmed slightly to obstruct less of the view and I failed to realize that the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a shower (guests have to go downstairs to shower). Regardless of the those two points we will most definitely book here again and can’t complain. Thank you!

Exceptional Views - Beautiful Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The views are incredible. We had deer come by every morning. Terry is a super host! The special added touches like disposable slippers, make-up wipes, Aveeno lotion, etc. just made it feel like a 5-star hotel. The communication between Terry and Megan was outstanding. The home is comfortable, very clean with nice furnishings and the kitchen is well stocked with every item you would need including a Brita pitcher. My family will definitely be returning to this home in the future if available.

Fabulous stay even with losing power for a couple of hours. View of the Pacific was spectacular! Bushes in front of living room window could be trimmed to increase the view of the ocean!
