About the host
Hosted by Donna Martinez
My husband, Jorge, and I have always had a love affair with the Sonoma Coast, and most especially with The Sea Ranch. Just before we made up our mind to purchase our home, Jorge went diving in the waters below. There, he harvested his first 10" abalone! That cinched the deal and gave rise to our naming our new home "Sea Ranch Abalone Bay" for the cove that graciously gave up the yummy mollusk. Unfortunately, harvesting abalone is no longer possible, but spearfishing and fishing off the bluff remain a favorite activity for Jorge and me, and our many guests. We'll be happy to share some of our insider tips with you, too!
We give back to our community globally and locally.
We have always believed in the importance of family, friends, and giving back to our community. No matter where we have lived over the years we have always been active in the community we call home. That connection shows that we are all linked no matter where on the globe we or our guests may be at any moment.
In these times of climate change with its global warming, it becomes even more important that Abalone Bay recommits itself to the original covenant of The Sea Ranch, "to live lightly on the land,". Further, we also declare a climate emergency. Based on the science before us, we promise actionable steps to stop the climate emergency we now face. For that reason, we have joined initiatives that supports tourism businesses, organizations, and individuals that declare a climate emergency and take purposeful action to reduce their carbon emissions.
We also act locally as members of the Sea Ranch/Mendocino Community. A portion of the proceeds from your guest rental is given directly back to the people of "Mendonoma." We also invite our guests to join us in this endeavor. Local non-profits we support include: Coastal Seniors, Action Network, Redwood Coast Humane Society, and Redwood Empire Food Bank.

Why they chose this property
From the very first moment we set foot on the bluff where our home now rests, we knew The Sea Ranch would forever be our sanctuary. The call of the ocean—sometimes gentle and sparkling, other times wild and dramatic—pulls you in, its shifting moods painting a new picture every day. Here, nature doesn’t just surround you; it greets you at your doorstep. Deer pause to quietly graze in the meadow, a fox or bobcat may cross your path, while herons and pelicans glide gracefully across the horizon. My husband, ever the angler, delights in beginning his mornings with coffee before strolling to the cliff’s edge to cast his line for the day’s lunch.
Meanwhile, the kids and I wander down the trail to say hello to the harbor seals lounging just steps away. This is the rhythm of life here—simple, grounding, and endlessly renewing. We purchased our home not only for its beauty but with a vision of gathering and sharing it with the ones we love. Over time, we expanded to include a game room and garage complete with ping pong and outdoor games, as well as a private courtyard with a hot tub just off the principal bedroom—perfect for soaking while gazing out to the endless ocean and stars above. What drew us here, and what continues to hold us, is the harmony of joy, relaxation, and connection—among family, friends, and the extraordinary natural world that makes The Sea Ranch unlike anywhere else.
