This cozy cove cottage provides you with everything you need to feel right at home during your Gualala getaway. A large deck and a fenced yard give you and your guests plenty of space to spread out and take in the stunning views of the ocean and the rocky cliffs of the California Coast. When the temperature drops, toss a log into the wood stove and curl up on the couch to dive into a book or watch a movie. Best of all, this home also includes a private outdoor hot tub where you can soak your worries away.

What's nearby:
Being right on the water, you will no doubt want to spend your vacation lying on the beach, soaking up the sun. Glennen Gulch is just over a half-mile from your front door and offers sandy shores from which you can launch your Pacific adventures. Necessities such as grocery stores, banks, gas stations, as well as shops and restaurants are less than three miles away in downtown Gualala. About two miles south of town you will find other attractions such as the Bluff Trailhead in Gualala Point Regional Park for a beautiful oceanfront hike, or Sea Ranch Golf Links for those looking to spend some time out on the greens.

Heaven on Earth

The Cove House is perfect! One morning, I spent an hour and a half watching two little whales directly in front of me, in the little cove. They kept looking up at me! This home is peaceful and has everything you could possibly want or need. I was struck by how many people wrote in their guest book about having "epiphanies" and "taking stock in their life" and "a new perspective on my life". I had experienced the exact three statements well before I read the guest book. TRULY A MAGICAL PLACE. Thank you to the owners!

Second time staying here

This was our second time staying here. We love coming up in the off season as there’s less people in the area. It’s usually rainy but we got lucky this trip.

Beautiful view, cozy house

The view was amazing, the house was very cozy and well stocked. It could use a few updates - the electrical outlets are loose and things did not stay plugged in well, the blinds have seen better days, and the baseboard heaters are not up to the task of heating. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes, the living room is very comfortable, the windows make everything feel very open. The hot tub was amazing. The house is located very conveniently to Gualala and Point Arena. The Surf market is nearby and had a great selection - especially for such a small market - and was reasonably priced. I would absolutely stay there again.

Great romantic getaway house but with a couple of shortcomings

We spent 4 nights at this house and it was pretty stellar. The view is amazing and the hot tub was great. I would give this home 5 stars except for the following minor issues. We like to cook and we planned on making all of our meals here. The problem is that the stove top has some issues. The burners would get to temperature but then fade out and then get hot again. It made cooking very challenging. The second issue is that there was a mouse in the rafters. It only occurred one night but we could here it making noise and squeaking. I know that the location is near the woods so I wasn't too concerned but it terrified my partner. The third issue is that that the check in time is 4pm and the check out time is 10am. This cut down on the amount of time that we could enjoy the home. 10 am is very early to depart after 4 nights of relaxation. 11 am would be better. Noon would be optimal.
