Bring the entire family to enjoy the peace and comfort of this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a sun-splashed escape with a private hot tub and deck, dog-friendly accommodations, and nearby access to community swimming pools, tennis courts, and saunas.

You'll find this cozy, two-level home on the hillside east of California Highway 1, offering lovely meadow views five miles south of downtown Gualala. Go tidepooling and watch the local harbor seals at Shell Beach one mile west, take walks on the sandy expanse of Walk On Beach less than two miles west, and spend sunny days enjoying the heated pool, saunas, and tennis courts at the Ohlson Recreation Center two miles south.

With natural beam ceilings, built-in window seats, and a pair of plush recliners, the living space will make you feel immediately at home. Use the provided logs to build a morning fire in the wood stove, curl up by the window to glimpse bobcats passing through the meadow, or set up a board game as a Netflix favorite plays in the background (a DVD player, VCR, VHS library, and free WiFi are also provided).

Begin each morning with sticky buns from Twofish Baking seven miles south, and spend each afternoon preparing al fresco meals on the charcoal grill. Take your dogs for walks on the private local trails (please note that there is a two-dog maximum at this home), stretch out with a good book on the deck, and spend evenings stargazing with your loved ones in the warmth of the private hot tub.

Whether you've come to Sea Ranch to relax, unwind, or reconnect with your family, you'll be able to do it all in this lovely home!

Lovely charming place with great vibes. I really enjoyed staying here. It was comfortable, down to earth, beautiful, clean, and had great energy about it. When we arrived, there were deer in the yard, followed by turkeys, and the occasional swallow swooping around. Just a wonderful place. Very good value, and perfect location. Only suggestion I have is an updated set of glasses and plates, but that's it.

Good family vacation at the Bobcat house

Beautiful house in a very private setting. We had some lovely walks down to the tidal beach. the kids enjoyed seeing the harbor seals at the lookout and we had a family of quail that came to visit in the backyard a few times. gorgeous picture windows and lovely evenings in the hot tub. The kitchen was well equipped but lacking some good frying pans if you like to cook. Sea Ranch is a gorgeous place and we appreciated the guest passes for the pool.

Lovely Home, Serenity and Peace

There were three of us - myself, my granddaughter and her partner, along with my little Havanese pup. The house is spacious - we didn't even use the upstairs at all. The kitchen was stocked with necessities like salt/pepper/sugar, various herbs. We enjoyed the hot tub every day and loved seeing a doe and her fawn walk by in the evenings. We watched many birds in the tall trees and felt renewed after our two-night stay. We would definitely rent the house again.

Great launching point for coastal exploration

The home was pleasant and private. Each of the three bedrooms is relatively private too, making sharing with others comfortable.

Nice home, great for family and pets

We enjoyed this home tremendously with our families and pup. However, I will say that the beds were hard to our taste, and the pillows seemed old/flat. That was a bummer. Other than that, a great place to stay.

Really nice home in great location

We spent four nights in this great home. It's in a nice location on a very quiet cul-de-sac. Close to day hiking trails and Gualala for restaurants. Home was very well equiped - we cooked several meals without finding any missing household items. Hot tub works great...which is sometimes a rarity in rental homes. We would definitely stay here again.

Private beautiful home in the trees

Very nice welcoming home surrounded by trees which makes it very private. Hot tub is delightful, especially during the full moon. It's a close drive to both the amazing Sea Ranch Chapel, as well as to Shell Beach, where the seals and their pups are this time of year. Delightful place to spend a few days! A very welcoming home that lends itself to relaxation and decompressing!

Relaxing stay with Family

Great place for our family to relax and connect. Extra points for the hot tub and allowing dogs. Would have like to have known ahead of time that coffee filters were not provided and to bring our own firewood. There really was not enough for three nights during the winter.

Bobcat House is Lovely

This home is super quiet and serene. The woods surrounding the home are pristine with turkeys, deer, and all assortment of birds enjoying the area. House was just as advertised and clean. The layout of the home is also very nice, easy to move around and still see your guests. Nice spot and I would return next time we stay at SR.

Okay on a budget

This house was just okay if you are trying to save money the kitchen appliances and pots and pans were horribly outdated and the Teflon was peeling off every single PAN which was a health hazard to cook on I had to go buy my own PAN the bed was extremely uncomfortable and hard but it was less money than all the other houses so if you can overlook those things its ok
