Dog-Friendly Cabin with Ocean View, Private Hot Tub & BBQ near the Lodge

Summary:

Morning fog lifts to reveal blue Pacific horizons -- this is ocean-view living at its best. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Room for 4 in this 0-bedroom home. A short walk from the Sea Ranch Lodge. Miles of bluff-top trails and hidden beaches are yours to explore. Whale spouts on the horizon, hawks riding the updrafts -- nature puts on a show from every window.



Guest Access:

Step inside and settle in -- every room and amenity in this home is yours for your stay. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. This home welcomes up to 1 dog -- the yard and nearby trails are ready for your pup. Street parking is available. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.



The Neighborhood:

Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (a short 4-minute walk), Shell Beach tidepools (7-minute walk), Black Point headland trails (2-minute drive). Between the coastal trails, tidepools, heated pools, and The Sea Ranch Lodge's restaurant, you could fill a week without leaving the community. Stock up in Gualala, just 10 minutes south, where you'll find grocery stores, restaurants, a hardware store, and gas. Bodega Bay is a beautiful drive for fresh seafood.



Getting Around:

Plan for a 2.5-hour drive from San Francisco (Highway 101 to Highway 1). If flying, Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) is the closest option at about 90 minutes east. You'll want a car here -- the winding coastal roads are half the adventure.



Other Things to Note:

Parking allowed in front of the cabin for loading and unloading Long-term parking located a short walk down the road

Children under eight not recommended (bunk beds over the stairs) High-speed Wi-Fi provided allows you to stream your favorite shows and movies on your laptop or the 42” Smart TV.



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.



Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window. Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.



Up to 1 dog are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Don't miss out on recreational opportunities including a hot tub and a sauna.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

we found mouse droppings under the sink and in the food dishes. it was reported to vacasa but so far have not had any significant communication from them. we had to inspect constantly, wash all dishes and surfaces before use and it totally spoilt our stay in the cabin. a mouse was seen in the bathroom whilst in there, and in the living room. we are requesting a refund of one nights fees. please advise. we will be reviewing our stay in this cabin which is a health and safety hazard. we do not appreciate being told that mice are commonplace; we have stayed at sea ranch in multiple cabins and this is the first time to experience this.

Rip Off

For a unit that cost this much and has so many strict rules/guidelines, we expected to show up to a perfect unit. We're okay with not so perfect, but this was totally unacceptable. Especially for our anniversary weekend. Don't waste your time with the gas furnace. Use the one behind the living room chair by the kitchen.A major deep clean was needed. We were super uncomfortable during our stay. Some issues include: Musty/pet smell. There was dust hanging from walls, large cobwebs and dust in the skylight above the the bed, the bedding had a clump of dust and hair in addition to traces of animal hair. The linens in the linen shelf were also a mixed bag of cleanliness. There was CHEWED GUM on the linen shelf. DISGUSTING. The bathroom towels seemed new but never washed so they were shedding on us. There's no washer/dryer in the unit, so we couldn't fix these issues ourselves. The showerhead was grimy and had build up and the shower door track was disgusting. The kitchen items we used had to be cleaned before use. The lamps in the living room have a button on the head to turn on, and the lamp heads were also grimy to the touch. The living room throw blankets were unwashed, smelly, and had hair on/in them. The bathroom window was left open so it was freezing and took forever to warm up.The hot tub was nice. The view was nice, and the cabin felt more secluded than the properties in Sea Ranch that are on the west side of the main road. BIPOC beware of Sea Ranch facilities staff

Beautiful, simple cabin.

We loved the cabin and the hot tub was great. Sleeping under the skylights was special! We would have appreciated the parking pass being left in the cabin for us - so as not to have had to drive to Gualala and back for that after what was already a long drive. And the cabin was 46 degrees F when we arrived! The gas fireplace is lovely but took nearly 6 hours to get us up above 60…. I would recommend during cold weather having the thermostat preset to at least 62 so as to avoid this issue for incoming guests.

A Magical Cabin

The cabin is so cozy and perfect for a couple or a family with 2 children. The skylight over the master bed is incredible because through it you can see the stars at night and the pine tree tops in the day. The recreation centers are great! We went lap swimming in the pool at Del Mar and really enjoyed our swim in the warm water. Our whole experience was absolutely perfect!

Is it for sale? :)

It couldn’t have been more perfect. Exactly as described and with just an overwhelming sense of coziness and comfort. Great location and had all the amenities. The dogs would have even been ecstatic! I’d rent over and over again, but would prefer to buy it! It’s that cute and made for a most wonderful and memorable visit. I’ll be back!

Lovely piece of history!

Loved staying in the hike-in cabin-- old Sea Ranch charm but with all of the amenities. Clean, easy, beautiful, and restorative! My only dislike was finding the local office for a parking pass, it was several miles out of the way and was a bit scary to access behind a strip mall late in the evening. With the cabin being all set up, including a running fire, when I arrived-- I think it could be possible that the parking passes be inside the property upon arrival. Thank you!

Positive and negative. The need for clear communication.

The property was fine for 2 people and in a nice location. However, we did not appreciate being bounced around between VRBO and VACASA. In addition, and even more difficult was the fact that our understanding was that this property could sleep 6. A loft walk in cabin....that is a joke. We were going to bring our grandchildren and possibly their parents at one point based on the "sleep 6" description. One bed in the loft and 2 bunkbeds in the stairwell would barely accommodated 4 of us and would have at great discomfort. Fortunately, out grandchildren could not come with us. The main and only bedroom situated upstairs and the one and only bathroom downstairs for 2 people in their 70s presented difficulties as well. In addition to the property not fitting the description, the "hidden" costs were mind blowing. It would have been nice to hear about the "Owner Fees, Service Fees," etc before giving out Visa information. The gas stove was labeled out of order and even though we were told about it when we arrived, we were also told that it would be taken care of....it never was. "Shared sauna"....where was it?
