You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Incredibly Beautiful, Private, Unique Home Perched On The Bluff At Ocean's Edge!

We call our home Standing Wave. For us and our guests, staying here is a relaxing and tranquil experience. Things are calm and peaceful and yet filled with the excitement of the dramatic ocean views.

You won't believe the view, the peace & the serenity here! Come for a peaceful getaway. Enjoy all that this amazing coast has to offer. You can spend the entire day relaxing & whale watching in your private accommodations, or venture out to take full advantage of all that Sea Ranch has to offer...year-round, outdoor heated pools, hiking trails, tennis courts, and more views! You'll want to come back again & again!

Your accommodations will be in our guesthouse, on a gated, private Sea Ranch estate. We purchased this unique property because of the amazing location & privacy, and we love to share it with others. It is one of the largest oceanfront parcels at The Sea Ranch, with commanding views of the Pacific in all directions. The cottage is separated from the main house by a large meadow & rolling hills (see pictures). We are regularly treated to parades of whales & seals, deer migration, foxes, birds, and other abundant wildlife!

Your romantic cottage is studio-style, which is appointed with a wood burning fireplace, tall ceilings with open concept living & comfortable sleeping area. There is a large bathroom with double sinks, as well as a full wet room with double shower & large bathtub. The guesthouse has a kitchenette with cooktop, microwave & mini-fridge (no freezer and no oven). The entire cottage is bathed in natural light with large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean. And if you decide to venture outside, there is a private deck for dining, lounging, or whale watching.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, a stovetop, and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including an outdoor pool and a sauna.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

This property is amazing!! The views of the sunset are incredible and listening to the ocean waves every night was so wonderful. It was so dark we could also see the Milky Way! It was very private and quiet, which we liked. The hosts were very helpful and the unit was well equipped. We will remember this trip for a very long time...and may be planning to come back in the near future!

We've never had our own private cove before. It was wonderful, as were the harbor seals, red-tailed hawks and gliding buzzards. The cabin was beautiful and very cozy. We will recommend it to friends. P.S. Be sure to visit the Sea Ranch Chapel.

Very, very special property...the epitome of modern serenity offering a spellbinding view of the breathtaking vistas Sea Ranch has to offer. All creature comforts accounted for, (and then some), and highly responsive hosts. So fortunate to have celebrated 40 years of marriage in this fantastic guesthouse...can't imagine staying anywhere else, we will return as soon as we are able. Thank you Brittany and Ivy!

Standing Wave is The Sea Ranch's Best Kept Secret!

This was the third (or fourth) time visiting the Standing Wave. It's a wonderful place to stay and enjoy my private Pacific Ocean view! Hosts Ivy and Brittany are wonderful hosts. They are very responsive. We are coming back soon-- if there are still available days! Keep this place a secret--please....Just kidding--you'll enjoy your stay!

The Perfect Place to Unwind

This is a wonderful place to rest and recharge. It’s not ideal for those seeking social interaction or a bustling atmosphere, but if you’re looking to create space for stillness—surrounded by the beauty of nature—this spot delivers. Whether you’re tuning into your thoughts or simply being present with a loved one, you won’t be disappointed.
