Oceanfront home near Shell Beach & Bluff Trail with pools, deck, & great views
Just Bluffing
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
The Bluff Trail and the beautiful, rugged shoreline are mere steps from this oceanfront home in Sea Ranch, spectacularly situated an easy stroll from Shell Beach. This is a place to wake up to a view of the ocean and cap your evenings by barbecuing, dining, and watching stunning sunsets outside on the expansive deck.
This multi-level home boasts an enviable oceanfront location close to the midpoint of Sea Ranch, with the Bluff Trail right outside your back door. Shell Beach - a local favorite for tidepooling - is half a mile north and Stengel Beach is less than a mile south. You'll be just over a mile from the Ohlson Recreation Center and its heated outdoor pool, saunas, and tennis courts. Small-town Gualala's markets, galleries, and conveniences are only five miles north as well.
Enter by way of a private, sheltered courtyard to be greeted by a living space with lofty ceilings, details of richly hued wood, and a back wall of picture windows framing the ocean and open meadow. Curl up in the window seat with a good book and the gas fireplace flickering, use the telescope to glimpse passing seals and whales, and set up a favorite board game at the dining room table.
The kitchen is uniquely equipped for family holidays and special get-togethers, offering a wealth of cooking and baking tools that include double ovens and a six-burner gas stove. There's a gas grill and an outdoor dining area on the deck overlooking the ocean, and an inviting den back inside where you can watch DVDs late into the night.
All of the bedrooms have views of the ocean, each in its own wing of the house. Additional features include complimentary WiFi and a private washer/dryer.
