Where the ocean meets the sky, your getaway begins!

Perched high on the cliffs of Gualala, this seaside sanctuary offers sweeping 180-degree ocean views that create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories. Imagine sipping sunrise coffee while the horizon glows, soaking in the private hot tub beneath a sky full of stars, and resting peacefully as the ocean’s waves lull you to sleep in cozy beds. Every detail here invites you to slow down, connect, and savor the beauty of the sea.

Inside, the home is designed for comfort and connection. Newly installed flooring throughout the home adds a fresh, modern touch, while the open living space invites everyone to gather around the gas fireplace. A new Smart TV provides easy entertainment after long beach days, and the fully equipped kitchen — complete with a new dishwasher — makes it easy to cook meals together, whether it’s a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring or a relaxing dinner with the ocean as your soundtrack. You’ll also find a newly updated master bathroom, adding modern convenience to this charming coastal retreat.

Outdoors, the two-level deck is made for both quiet reflection and family fun. Watch whales migrate in the distance, view hawks catching a drift up close, and enjoy the ever-changing colors of the Pacific.

What’s nearby:

This home is just a short walk to the charming town of Gualala, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and galleries. Families will love Gualala Point Regional Park, with trails and beachcombing opportunities that spark curiosity in all ages. For a romantic evening, enjoy fine dining at the St. Orres Restaurant just five miles away, or during the day, explore the beauty of the Sea Ranch Chapel. Cooks Beach, a sheltered beach cove, is just a five-minute drive from the vacation home.

A lovely home in a gorgeous setting

The home is a bit unassuming but when you open the door, you’re hit with the grand splendor of the pacific north coast. We will definitely rent this home again.

Beautiful house with a beautiful view!!!

Loved being able to take a dip in the hot tub, gaze at the ocean, gaze at the stars. Close to town too so grabbing any necessities was simple. Easy parking, well equipped kitchen. We didn’t have to leave the house for during the entirety of our stay.

Excellent Location

This was a beautiful property and worked perfect for our family. The house was clean and comfortable and the hot tub, with a view, was amazing. The only down side is no BBQ or access to a washer and dryer, but we knew that when we booked. The beds were comfortable and they offered plenty of blankets and pillows to get cozy. Thanks for a great stay!!!

Birthday relaxation

This property has breathtaking views and you can easily fall asleep to the sounds of waves crashing. The kitchen is adequately stocked with pots and pans for cooking needs. Will definitely return to this property in the future.

It's the view that will bring us back!

View, view, view and sound of crashing waves. Plenty of wildlife coming in and around the house-deer, pelicans, hawks, seagulls, and vultures. Enjoyed hiking the bluffs, going to beaches, going to the top of Point Arena Lighthouse, Kruse Rhododendron trails, tidepools at low tide, and the Gualala Arts Center. Excellent Thai food at Anchor Bay Thai Kitchen, great lunch at Rollerville Cafe in Point Arena, and the BBQ at Surf Market (tri-tip, ribs and baked beans) delicious!

Never again

Nice view but that is the only positive thing I can say. The property is not just dated but downright shabby and poorly supplied….no dishwasher, no BBQ, “fireplace” (silly little gas stove) that we found impossible to operate. We would never stay there again.

This is my second stay here. Beautiful place. Can’t beat the view. And the house is spacious enough for several people to stay comfortably. It’s not the poshest home on the coast but we were very happy with it. That’s what keeps the rent reasonable. It’s cozy and comfy. The hot tub was great. And the location is fantastic!

Incredible view and excellent staff when assistance was needed

The view was unbelievable. We came from Florida and thoroughly enjoyed the cool temperatures gazing at the Pacific Ocean. It was magical. We did have some questions about the property and called Vacasa and they were 100% responsive. Herb did an excellent job of helping us. We would love to come back again.

Great weekend getaway with fab views!

We loved our weekend stay at this place, overall. The views are breathtaking and make up for a memorable experience. The property, though old and slightly dusty (especially near window panes), was overall good. There were minor details that could have been better taken care of throughout the property but that didn’t bother us much. What I wish I knew was the place doesn’t have AC/cooling/fan. Post noontime and until sunset (which is so beautiful from here) the place gets very warm from the direct sun and it became very hard for us to put our kid to nap in the extremely warm rooms. Would have appreciated a portable fan or cooler. Overall, it’s a beautiful stay and we had a great time.

Awesome view, if you can see through the filthy windows!

We feel bad to leave a not so good review, BUT these are ALL easily fixable things. It is really a waste to have such a beautiful place and not show it off properly. My husband and I are not fussy people. We do not mind an older home as it has personality, as long as it is clean. We absolutely loved the hot tub, but the plexiglass that goes around the hot tub was absolutely filthy! It looked like it had not been cleaned in a while with bird droppings running down the side, webs and just plain dirty. Why??? THAT is the main selling point of the home - the amazing view! Then the windows in the house looking out onto the ocean were all filthy as well. The real shocker that we discovered after a few days was pulling out a couple of kitchen drawers to find rodent poop and active traps in the drawers! WTH! We understand that rodents can be a problem, but having poop in a kitchen drawer and traps not removed before guests arrive? The other thing was that the two couches in the livingroom were extremely broken down and need to be replaced. Again, these are such simple inexpensive fixes that would greatly improve the experience for your guests. My husband and I would come back to stay if these things were addressed. Other than that, we really loved the view, hot tub, privacy, etc. Just please give that place a thorough cleaning and for goodness sakes, clean the windows to show off that view! Did not have communication with the manager, but had to complete that line.

Great view—nice place

Nice spacious house perched on a cliff affording a beautiful view. The furnishings are basic, nothing fancy, but it’s comfortable and affordable. We all slept well in the beds and cooked every meal in the kitchen. It would have been nice to have a few more food storage options for leftovers, but it worked out just fine. There was an electrical issue when we checked in that affected the Wi-Fi, but Vacasa responded immediately and the issue was resolved. Wi-Fi worked great for the duration of our visit after that. This is a great place for a family to spend quality time at the ocean without breaking the bank. The view is fantastic.

Take advantage of the beautiful view as much as you can. Gualala and public trails are so close. ...

We loved all of our short little hiking trips, and that the local stores were so close. The kitchen was so easy to cook in.

Amazing view

We stayed for two nights and had an amazing time. The view was beautiful and clearly the best part. The house was clean other than spider webs that could have easily been cleaned up and even more spider webs out on the deck. The glass walls that surround the hot tub were filthy so watching the sunset from the hot tub wasn’t great. That is a detail that should have been address with such a beautiful view. The beds to me were uncomfortable and yes the house was outdated but that didn’t matter much to us or stop us from wanting to come back. Close to the beach and the cute town. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home and view!

My wife and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary, and we loved it. The home is beautiful with tons of space. Could have easily fit a family or a group of friends. The view is even more beautiful in person with the lovely hot tub. Super close to the shops and grocery stores in Gualala. The wifi was great, so much better than I would have expected. And honestly a great deal compared to other rental sites. We would love to come back!

My new happy place…

First of all, the view and location are hands down the best. This cute little home in Gualala was just as described. The bedrooms were comfortable and it was nice having one room upstairs for the teenagers to escape too. Having 2 1/2 bathrooms was also a plus. I would return here in a heartbeat. We spotted several deer, sea lions and starfish from the deck. We also saw ships, boats, and beautiful sunsets every night. The sound of the ocean was absolutely soothing. The kitchen was adequate and we had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Living room couches were comfy. yes they were ants, but that was also part of the rental description and it was not a dealbreaker for us. Some of the dressers were a little aged and drawers were harder to open, but it was manageable. Overall, I think this is one of my favorite rentals to date.
