My wife and I stayed a week at this home for a week in May. The home does indeed have a beautiful view of the Pacific. We spend hours just looking through the picture window. The house is well appointed and comfortable, just right for two people, or a family of four. We actually slept in the downstairs bedroom (we pushed the two twin beds together), because my wife had a knee problem that prevented her from going upstairs to the loft bedroom.
The weather in May at Sea Ranch was quite pleasant -- on the cool side, but that is one of its major attractions for those of us who live in hot inland California. What surprised us though was how warm the house got during the day when the sun was out. In particular the loft got rather uncomfortably warm. We quickly learned to draw the blinds on all of the windows and to open the side windows to let in the cooling breeze.
The neighborhood of the home is pleasant and quiet. A morning walk along the redwood-lined Schooner Drive was quite nice. Sea Ranch Beach Rentals provides a detailed map of the area, which shows hiking trails, including one off of Schooner Drive.
One thing that was a bit disappointing was the local restaurant scene. We have been coming to Gualala for thirty years, so we were familiar with the area. We were saddened to find out that Sea Ranch Lodge, with its wonderful restaurant, is closed indefinitely, supposedly for renovations. We went to St. Orres, which we have been to four or five times, but the service there was not as good as in the past. (I suspect they are suffering from same problems other restaurants in Sonoma County have reported about rehiring help after the pandemic.) Also disappointing was the lack of any place to get a real breakfast. The Ranch Cafe is only a couple of miles from the house, but it only has sandwiches and quiche. Fortunately, the Surf Market in Gualala is well-stocked (they even have their own branded chocolate sauce), so you can get food to fix your own dinners. (We didn't eat at any other restaurants this time, but from our past experiences Cove Azul and Vue Kitchen are ok but not fine dining.)
One more recommendation: check out the Gualala Art Center off of Old Stage Road right after crossing the river. It's free and has some great art work.
