SAFETY & COASTAL ENVIRONMENT Sea Ranch Abalone Bay is located in the internationally recognized coastal community of The Sea Ranch, where homes are thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape. Sharing this remarkable environment also means understanding and respecting its unique characteristics.
Ocean Bluffs & Sneaker Waves The home is located approximately 25 feet from ocean bluffs with drops of about 40 feet to the rocks and Pacific Ocean below. Bluff edges and nearby trails are not fenced.
✓ Good to Know: Children and pets must be closely supervised outdoors. Please stay on designated trails and never turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves can occur without warning and are capable of sweeping adults and children into the sea.
Wildlife One of the joys of The Sea Ranch is its abundant wildlife. During your stay you may see deer, wild turkeys, hawks, rabbits, raccoons, lizards, snakes, native insects, grazing sheep or goats used for vegetation management, and occasionally horseback riders on community trails. Professional pest control is provided inside the home.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING A 120V outlet and 240V receptacle are available in the garage.
✓ Good to Know: Guests must provide their own compatible charging cable or adapter. Damage resulting from incompatible equipment or improper use is the guest's responsibility.

We're always happy to provide additional information, measurements, or photographs so you can book with confidence.
✓ Good to Know: Wildlife and insects are a natural part of the coastal environment. While we promptly address concerns inside the home, wildlife in surrounding open space, trails, neighboring properties, and the Pacific Ocean is beyond our control and is not grounds for cancellation, refund, or relocation.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Martinez
We're Donna and Jorge, and welcoming guests to Sea Ranch Abalone Bay has become one of the great joys of our lives.
Like many of our guests, we first fell in love with The Sea Ranch because of its quiet beauty, dramatic Pacific coastline, miles of ocean bluff trails, and the chance to truly slow down. We created Abalone Bay as the kind of oceanfront retreat we always hoped to find—elegant without being formal, beautifully equipped without being fussy, and comfortable enough that you can simply settle in and exhale.
As a retired educator, hospitality has always meant helping people feel confident, cared for, and inspired. You'll find that reflected throughout your stay—from thoughtful communication before you arrive to our digital guidebook filled with local recommendations, walking trails, favorite restaurants, wildlife tips, scenic drives, and insider suggestions gathered over years of exploring The Sea Ranch.
We continually invest in the home with the same care we would for family. Whether upgrading the kitchen, adding guest-requested comforts, supporting accessibility wherever practical, or offering our exclusive Stay & Play golf privileges, every improvement begins with one question: "Will this make someone's stay even better?"
We believe great hospitality extends beyond the front door. We support local businesses, encourage guests to discover the remarkable people and places along the Sonoma Coast, and proudly contribute to stewardship efforts that help preserve this extraordinary landscape.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, escaping for a romantic weekend, gathering with family, bringing your dog for coastal adventures, enjoying a golf getaway, or simply seeking a peaceful place to reconnect with nature, we hope Sea Ranch Abalone Bay feels less like a rental and more like a home you'll look forward to returning to.
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 grandkids 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.
What makes this property unique
Unique Benefits
Abalone Bay offers something increasingly rare: an authentic ocean bluff Sea Ranch experience where architecture, nature, and comfort exist in quiet harmony. Perched directly on the bluff with private access to The Sea Ranch's iconic bluff trail, you'll spend less time driving and more time immersed in the rhythm of the Pacific.
Wake to panoramic white-water views, watch migrating whales from the living room, spot deer grazing nearby, and end each day with unforgettable sunsets. The award-winning Obie Bowman renovation honors the home's original architecture while adding modern comfort and expansive walls of glass.
The principal bedroom opens directly to a private courtyard, with the hot tub just steps away. The two guest bedrooms enjoy beautiful ocean views.
The thoughtfully equipped kitchen features premium cookware, quality knives, multiple coffee options, and everything needed for everything from a casual breakfast to a holiday feast.
Golfers enjoy exclusive Sea Ranch Golf Links member privileges, including 20% savings on green fees, member cart rates, priority tee times, driving range discounts, and pro shop savings.
Explore over 50 miles of trails, secluded beaches, tide pools, redwood forests, and three private recreation centers with pools, saunas, tennis, and pickleball before returning home to soak beneath remarkably dark, star-filled skies.
Families appreciate thoughtful extras, remote workers enjoy gigabit Wi-Fi and an ocean-view workspace, and dogs are welcomed as part of the family. The game room sofa sleeper is available as an optional add-on (please inquire).
Most of all, Abalone Bay is owner-hosted with genuine care. We continually invest in the home, share a detailed digital guidebook with local recommendations, and provide responsive, personal communication before, during, and after your stay—helping you experience The Sea Ranch like returning friends rather than first-time visitors.
