Wild Meadow

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Please view the TSRA website for current information regarding the use of community facilities, such as the swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts.

This adorable beachfront studio is the perfect way to celebrate your next vacation to sunny Sea Ranch! Every grain of the all-wood interior is brought out by the cascades of natural light coming in through the ocean-view windows, and the antique cabinets, vaulted ceiling, and attractive decor helps to provide a welcoming ambiance throughout. You'll love waking up to the toasty aromas of freshly-brewed coffee and taking leisurely strolls along the redwood trees and coastal foliage lining the ridge to catch glimpses of the deer, fox, and rabbits roaming about the yard. Spend the day at the beach then come home to stream your favorite Netflix movies on your laptop. Later, spread out a blanket or two to enjoy an evening of peaceful stargazing while the ocean surf rolls in below. You can even challenge a friend to a few games on the shared basketball and tennis courts.

Take a short half-mile walk down to Shell Beach Access Trail where you can spot seals, search for seashells, and enjoy the pounding surf of the Pacific Ocean. Want to grab a bite to eat? The Ranch Cafe is just three-and-a-half miles south, and there are more terrific restaurants north of you like Bakery Pizza Mexican Food, Cove Azul Bar & Grill, and Taqueria Del Sol.

Peaceful and comfortable stay

Wild Meadow is very comfortable with all the amenities you would need in a small space (mini fridge, microwave, and electric kettle). The view was gorgeous. Everything was very clean and neat. We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful modern stay at Sea Ranch

Loved this small, perfect lodging. Beautifully decorated in harmony with the tone of Sea Ranch. Down duvet on bed, good walking trails, very quiet, private space, close enough to town,about 5 miles.Ocean views of the whitecaps.

A four star stay!!!

We were close to so many spectacular views and opportunities, and we took advantage of as many as we could in our time constraints. The coastal views, the architecture, The food and staff at the lodge, The hikes, ALL well above our expectations. We also met the owner by chance and she was a sweetheart.

Really Nice Cabin in Great Kocation

Classy Sea Ranch architecture, not a big space, but well thought out in the layout of the main room.Bathroom looks fairly modern.Interesting plywood paneling interior walls.The best part was the large west facing windows, through which you could watch the sun setting over the Pacific.

Room with a view

The view of the ocean was lovely. We couldn’t see the beach but the whitecaps were visible and the breeze was just right. Perfect location to view the night sky over the ocean.

Great Getaway!

A perfect place to getaway from the hectic nature of life. Well appointed, has what you really need in a studio - comfortable bed, reading spot, tea spot -- and an amazing and stunning view. Close to tons of trails and ocean. I could not could have asked for a more perfect place to stay.

A wonderful regenerative weekend

We absolutely loved our stay at Wild Meadow. The home is in a tranquil setting just a short walk from oceanfront trails. The bed was super comfy and sleeping was peaceful with the faint sound of the waves as our only companion. The town of Gualala is a short distance north where we highly recommend Trink’s Cafe and Surf Market. We can’t wait to visit again soon.

Amazing location, spartan furnishings

Great location and view. Room looks as online. I don't expect much but having some basics would be nice like a place to put bags without being on lounge bench, towels for the rec center (they advertise access but only two towels). Nice to have coffee capsules- but all were child like flavors (Eggo, french toast, and breakfast cereal flavorings). The cabinet holding the mini fridge was gorgeous, but one can not sleep if it is opened- it is strikingly loud and creaky

Searanch studio

Overall terrific. Chatted with owner and she was very friendly. Only drawbacks were no real food prep area (though I’m sure that was stated on listing ) and a small deck to look out to the ocean Would have been nice. There were a couple of chairs. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely retreat at Sea Ranch

This ocean view guesthouse is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a retreat. I enjoyed taking walks and hikes, reading inside on the comfy window seat or outside on the Adirondack chairs, and experiencing the beauty of Sea Ranch. It is nicely decorated and has what you need for a simple few day getaway. There is no kitchen, just a small fridge and microwave, so best to remember this when planning! I very much enjoyed my time, loving the quiet, restful few days and will be back!

Would Come Back

We need to come back when there is better weather. That has nothing to do with the property. It was perfect overlooking the water. There was plenty of coffee for the mornings and ample space. The area was clean and everything was very simple. 10/10 really enjoyed this weekend getaway

Great spot with easy access and beautiful views!

Loved this location. Perfect size of accommodation for 2 people. Nestled in the perfect spot for views, hiking, access to sea ranch lodge and Gualala. Everything was well appointed. One thing I would change is we couldn’t access the large outside trashcan for food trash. It wasn’t in the noted location. We had to keep stinky trash in the room.

We loved the studio. It was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Comfortable bed and bedding. Storage. A gorgeous view of natural greenery and the ocean, with two Adirondack chairs for enjoying coffee or wine It was a short walk to coastline trails. The owner was very nice and helpful when we met her. We'd like to return for a visit soon.

Disliked: Communication

Won’t return

Only one bedside table and lamp which doesn’t work because we both read in bed. Very dangerous rug we kept tripping over. We found it impossible to communicate with Vacasa. The ten o’clock morning check out time is ridiculously early. We won’t ever rent through Vacasa again
