Sea Ranch 3BR ocean-view home with private hot tub — dogs welcome

Summary:

Overlooking meadow and ocean near the end of Mast Head Reach, with the Bluff Trail and Walk On Beach within walking distance. Window-lined living spaces, a private hot tub, and an EV outlet cover the essentials; Del Mar's pool, tennis, and saunas are minutes away. Sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms — dogs welcome.



The Space:

Find the time and space to rest, reflect, and soak up the beauty of the Northern California Coast at this three-bedroom home in Sea Ranch. In this serene setting overlooking the meadow and ocean, you'll have a private hot tub, window-lined living spaces, and access to the Bluff Trail and Walk On Beach.



This home enjoys a highly desirable location within Sea Ranch, with the oceanfront Bluff Trail and the broad expanse of Walk On Beach accessible at the end of Mast Head Reach. You'll be within walking distance of the Monarch Glen, One-Eyed Jack's playground, the tidepools of Shell Beach, and the Del Mar Recreation Center - one of the three Sea Ranch rec centers with an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and saunas for which you'll have passes. And with an electric vehicle charger (outlet only)next to the garage, you'll have no trouble reaching the Sea Ranch Golf Links, downtown Gualala, and the other beauties of Highway 1.



Each day begins and ends outside on the deck, where you'll find the hot tub, a pair of lounge chairs, and a bistro table. It's the perfect setting for watching deer graze in the meadow as you sip your coffee and crack open a book.



Inside, the house has been recently and thoughtfully updated with new hardwood floors and new, comfortable sofas. At the heart of the home is an elevated family room lined with windows, where you can look for whale spouts on the ocean horizon and gather for incredible nightly sunsets. Prepare meals with ease using stainless steel appliances and quartz counterspace in the kitchen, dine in the cozy warmth of the woodstove or central forced heat, and spend your evenings watching movies on Netflix, Hulu Live, or DVD.



Bring your pup along -- this home welcomes up to 2 dogs.

Getting Around:

Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.



Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.



Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.



Up to 2 dogs are welcome (max 75 lbs each). Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.
