Romantic Newly Renovated Beach Cottage
The house is very well done and clean and has all the amenities. It is slightly off the beaten path which is perfect if you are looking to get away. Very modern kitchen. Comfy bed. Gualala town is 10 minutes away. A lot of hiking places nearby. Quiet

OCEAN VIEWS, CLIFF HOME on a full acre of land WOW
We recommend this airbnb! I have been traveling pretty regularly for the past 12 years for my job... hotel after hotel. This time I decided to book my own lodging as my husband and baby were tagging along...and this airbnb could have been any more of a perfect match for what I was looking for! The views are beautiful as is the airbnb itself. Tons of windows and skylights create beautiful natural light. The interior has a beautiful wooden cabin feel. The choice of decor is nautical, very interesting provides the warmth of being at a familar home. There is Cooks Beach just a 3 minute drive (great coffee shop in that area) and the center of town is also a 3 minutes drive the opposite direction. Mike has included a variety of board games to be used. Internet was strong and we both had phone service the entire time (AT&T and Verizon). This property was so perfect that my husband and I began to discuss buying something similar down the road. 5 out of 5 stars! Thanks Mike!

A Slice of Heaven in The Sea Ranch
Anu’s house in the Sea Ranch was perfect for our group. So easy to walk to the bluff trail, well equipped kitchen and gorgeous views of the stars from the hot tub and decks at night. We also really enjoyed the ocean view from the master bedroom and sitting in the sun on the front deck.

Oceanfront Home & Private Beach Access
Joanna’s house was a wonderful place to stay with our family. The view is amazing, even better than the pictures, we were content to just sit and relax looking out at the ocean for most of the time. The yard was great for our dog to run around in, and the nearby beach was really fun to explore as well. We hope to return soon!

Ocean View - Casa Balena
We had a memorable stay at Casa Balena. This beautiful home is away from the highway (no road noise) and close to the bluff trail. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The views from the windows were incredible. We definitely would stay here again.

Ocean Heaven Escape
Cozy cabin with a stunning ocean view! The deck was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Everything was clean and comfortable — a peaceful, memorable getaway. Highly recommend!

Sunroom House
Unique and cozy cabin with unbeatable views. I loved sitting at the table in the sunroom every morning with my coffee and just watching the waves crash in. Super close to Gualala, which has restaurants, supermarkets, gas, and all that good stuff.

Sunburst Ocean Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Ted’s place. The home and grounds are stunning, and in a close location to a beach and short drive to town. Ted was very helpful and the trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Cozy Redwood Cottage Near the Mendocino Coast
The cottage was perfect for a long weekend getaway with our dog. It had everything we needed for meals at home and was so cozy. A great launching pad for exploring the Mendocino coastline.

Coastal Cabin, with king bed, big deck, hot tub
The place was awesome. Beautiful scenery. We felt right at home. Ryan and James answered all our questions. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful scenery and all you need to be comfortable this is the place.

TimberTales - A cozy log cabin | Magical lakeviews
Stayed here a second time, can’t keep thinking about the amazing view that I get to share with my family. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful and majestic place.

Modern Cabin within Redwoods of P.A.
We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! Would personally recommend having an suv as the dirt path was rougher than initially thought, but easy to navigate once you do it once. The cabin itself is so peaceful, with complete privacy and separation from the main site. The outdoor shower and fireplace were the best part that we thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommend stopping in a bigger city to grocery shop as the options nearby are limited and some of the stocked goods were expired. Overall definitely recommend and we'll be staying again next time we're in the area!!

The Bridge Cabin
The location is unbelievably beautiful and there were many beautiful touches in the home. It was very comfortable and peaceful for our short stay.

Navarro Property - hot tub | beach | dog friendly
Absolutely stunning property, I could stare at that view for the rest of my life. The main home is gorgeous — still full of it's original details with renovated bathrooms which make it feel completely clean and fresh (a challenge with some of the old wooden cabins in the area). We also loved having two seperate buildings — great for people who are light sleepers or want to sleep in for longer in the morning. I would love to come back here someday, it's truly magical.

Canyon & Ocean View Cabin in the Redwoods
Wonderful cabin, exactly as described and pictured! Had a fantastic time with my pup!

Architect cabin in the Redwoods
Beautiful and serene location! It was the perfect place to unwind and disconnect.
Sea Ranch beach vacation rentals

Sea Pine | Hot Tub with Ocean View
Magical spot, right on the bluffs and just close enough to the trail, beaches and town. Lovely hot tub and well-stocked kitchen. Great to be back at Sea Ranch!

Knix's Cabin at Salmon Creek
The air bnb was comfortable, the host was thoughtful, and I would a million times over recommend staying here. This air bnb was walking distance from the beach and I also got to see wildlife! Saw a few California quails and a fox all while sitting on the day bed in the kitchen. Mary was very communicative and it’s obvious how much she cares about her guests’ experience.

Sea Ranch Forest Retreat with Ocean Views
Staying at this house was an incredible experience, the surrounding nature alone is stunning, and made all the better by the tasteful, super cozy interior design. Big floor to ceiling windows all around the first floor really make you feel immersed in the surrounding woods. Two great outdoor terraces. Very short drive down to the sea ranch lodge, and lots of hiking accessible on foot or a short drive away

Black Point BNB
Kelly’s home is welcoming, beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent and the views from inside the home are beautiful and calming. The beds are comfortable and we appreciated the white clean sheets. The layout of the home is excellent. The hot tub is very clean and appreciated the top of the hot tub being so easy to remove and cover again. The window treatments are easy to work and the attention to detail all throughout the home to make the stay more comfortable do not go unnoticed. This is our fifth rental home in Sea Ranch and now one of our favorites. Furthermore, Kelly is an excellent host as she made herself available as needed and was always very helpful. Thank you for having us.

Redwood Perch: Serene Pet friendly Cabin
Truly unique house on a hill amid towering redwoods. What a privilege to be able to stay here! I was always torn between which window seat to choose based on which view to enjoy! The living room windows are great for dreamy ocean and sky watching, but I loved the view from the office where you feel like you are in a treehouse. Not that you want to work here, but really lovely desk space, and cozy warm with the fireplace on. I really loved it. The kitchen is bright and well equipped. I amazed myself by baking a cake one day and found everything I needed. Also love the nespresso machine for a pre-hike energizer! And hiking up and down the nearby Gulch trail was just a highlight. No need to get in a car, just head out and be surrounded by beautiful woods and get your heart pumping! Carrying luggage up the 60 or so steps is something you want to consider while packing, but after that my legs and lungs adjusted and I'm sure I left stronger than when I arrived.

The Camp - private farmstay glamping
The Camp at Roseman Creek Ranch is idyllic and a wonderful, quiet space for enjoying the natural beauty of the area. We found it to be a perfect spot for exploring Gualala (hiking, kayaking, beach wandering) and taking a day trip up to Mendocino, and we really enjoyed the combination of comfort (hot water, a small fridge, comfy bed, cooking area) and a camping-like experience to help us feel closer to nature and unplugged from the usual day-to-day routines. The ranch is gorgeous; taking a short walk up to the gardens and being greeted by ranch cats and blooming flowers was a real highlight of our stay. We would love to stay again.

The Timber Ridge at Sea Ranch
We had a lovely stay! The home is beautifully designed, very clean, and worked perfectly for our family of four. The kids especially enjoyed the open layout and loft space. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful area of Sea Ranch, which made for a relaxing getaway. Just note that it's a bit farther from the coastal bluffs and beaches, so plan for a short drive if you’re hoping to explore the shoreline. Overall, a great home and a thoughtful, responsive host.

Secluded Oceanfront Beach Cottage and Private Cove
This is truly magical place. The privacy, setting and vibes cannot be beat. Thank you to Marykate for being a wonderful host!

Your guide to Sea Ranch
Introduction
A little over 100 miles north of San Francisco, The Sea Ranch is a sinewy stretch of coastline that offers the ultimate Northern California nature escape. Rocky bluffs cascade into the Pacific, and miles of dirt trails meander through coastal woodlands. Architects have fashioned a secluded community of midcentury oceanfront cabins. The Sea Ranch was conceived as an intentional community in the 1960s, with housing that harmonized with the natural landscape. The result became a sprawl of contemplative cabins tucked away in the woods or on coastal cliffs. Though the population is barely more than 1,100, there is no shortage of things to do in Sea Ranch — especially if you have come for the landscape.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sea Ranch
Thanks to its moderate coastal climate, there’s no bad time to stay in one of Sea Ranch’s iconic vacation rentals. July is the warmest month, when highs can reach 96 degrees Fahrenheit, yet the hot days give way to cool nights in the low 50s. Nights are coldest in December, when temperatures can hover around freezing, though it almost never snows in Sea Ranch. Springtime can be rainy, making it difficult for hiking. For outdoor activities, late summer and fall offer the most pleasant and predictable weather with the slimmest chance of rain. Fall is also the best time for whale watching, when humpbacks and blue whales are migrating along the coastline. Coastal fog or winds can creep in any time of year, so pack plenty of layers.
Top things to do in Sea Ranch
Bluff Top Trail
There are six public trails in Sea Ranch, but the Bluff Top Trail offers the most rewards for your efforts. Running south from Gualala Point Regional Park along the rugged headlands, the route encompasses three miles of windswept views of cypress groves, sandstone formations, and — if you're lucky — migrating whales and sea lions.
Sea Ranch Chapel
Built by local artisans with natural materials, this tiny nondenominational chapel is sculpted like a cresting wave. It integrates craft, art, and architecture with redwood pews, floral stained glass, and sea shells embedded into the structure.
Pebble Beach
Swimmers beware: The waters in The Sea Ranch are not for the faint of heart. Cold choppy surf, undertows, and riptides make it better to admire the ocean from the shore. A flight of stairs leads down to Pebble Beach, where a sandy cove offers tidepools teeming with anemones and starfish. It’s the perfect place to lay out a towel and watch the sunset over the Pacific.
