The kitchen is stocked well! The views from the sink are lovely! The balcony off the kitchen wasn't so inviting, quite frankly--the surface remained wet days after it had rained.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and the lovely views, and we appreciate your note about the balcony so we can address it for future guests.
This trip was definitely one to remember. The views are over the top incredible. Even the drive to the destination for us made us drive slow to really absorb all the scenery. This trip was such a blast with beach’s, whale watching, trails that literally walk you along the coast of CA with waves crashing and just a very all around awesome experience. The home itself was just as good, very welcoming feeling and cozy living room area with movies to watch with the family while you listen to the waves crashing even when the sun is down. This place even has a fantastic working hot tub, but because of all the outside things to do and see and go to we found that we barely used it because we were very much invested in the relaxing vibes the inside and outside of the beach house offer. This is a definite must stay at again type of place for me and my family!

Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you and your family had such a memorable trip and enjoyed both the stunning surroundings and cozy comforts of the home. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable stay!
We LOVED how clean, well equipped and accurately the home was described.We LOVED the location! Only about 3/4 mile walk to Gualala Point and beach.We saw pelicans diving for fish, foxes, deer, coyote, a small bobcat 20 feet from home, whales galore!Home location is at far north end of Sea Ranch so there is much less foot traffic walking by.At the end of quiet culdasac so kids rode bikes, played pickle ball, threw frisbees, played ball.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning views, the private setting, and the spacious amenities. We hope to host you again for another perfect stay!
Check in was easy and the property was ready to go. Location is great, just steps from the Bluff Trail and a short walk to Gualala Beach. The property is more spacious than most places we've stayed at SR, giving us some room to spread out. We were lucky that the second floor balcony had clear views of the water so we saw several whales, and with the provided binoculars were able to see them breach! Bedrooms are large, living/dining/kitchen are spacious. The bedroom with two singles was anppreciated ans our kids won't share beds. Everything was nice and clean. Pretty much everything is provided that you might need, though I always pack a few spices, knives, etc, as I'm pretty picky about that stuff and recommend others do the same as the knives and spices and pans, while well provided are pretty standard fare for a rental. All in all another great trip to SR, the family enjoyed their time and this property is very well accommodating for good sized families.

We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the spacious layout, beautiful location, and even got to see whales from the balcony. What a treat! It’s wonderful to hear the home was clean, well-stocked, and a great fit for your needs. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
We had a great stay. We all enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and views from the big windows on the upper level. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and had more then enough cutlery. Also I appreciated the prompt responses each time I had a question. I look forward to our next trip! Thank you!

Loved our stay. Great location, ocean views, ocean sounds, walking path out the door, wildlife. Only suggestion is windows need screens, it was warm during our stay and could not leave windows open after dark.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for staying with us in Sea Ranch! I am so glad to hear that you've enjoyed your stay. We try our best to wipe down the windows as much as possible but due to the proximity of the sea/ocean, the windows get dewy/clouded from the sea breeze. Thank you!
La Costiera was a wonderful place for our family to spend time together, get inspired by nature, and look ahead to the new year. Thank you!

Love getting to take a trip to Sea Ranch. I have stayed at multiple properties and this one by far was the best so far. I will definitely check it’s availability for out next trip. Thank you!
La Costiera was everything as stated and more! Fantastic house. Beautifully appointed. We cooked every meal in the fully stocked kitchen, overlooking the views of the ocean. Dinner was followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. There are no houses between you and the ocean, just steps away from the bluff trail. We often watched deer munching on the vegetation, and numerous hawks and pelicans fly by.I stayed in the master bedroom. I was so pleased that the master bath had warm air blowing from under the vanity to keep my feet warm. The other two bedrooms were nicely decorated and comfortable,La Costiera is located on the northern part of Sea Ranch, just minutes from Gualala, and a short walk to the beach.We are already planning another trip in 2026!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the home, from the ocean views and wildlife to the cozy comforts and well-equipped kitchen. We’d be honored to host you again in 2026!
We liked the house so much we extended our stay by a day. Plenty of space to spread out. Nice views. A stone's throw to the trail on the bluff, with good walks in both directions. Would definitely consider renting again.
Gorgeous! Amazing! Stunning! Exactly what my wife and I needed for our BabyMoon! The sunset views from upstairs were spectacular! We will definitely be back!
Our family had a wonderful stay at La Costiera and the hosts were fantastic. Property was clean, tidy, comfy with a stocked kitchen. Only negative was the heating element was nonfunctional in the hot tub - kids were disappointed. But management was quick to assess and offered us a refund for the inconvenience. Wonderful home base to explore the region. Easy access to sandy beaches and tide pools beaches. Discovered plenty of treasures that had drifted onto the shore. Neighborhood is very safe and homes are spread out for privacy. The community recreation centers are fantastic for swimming or sitting in the sauna as long as you are comfortable with some choosing to sit in the buff next to you. Highly recommend this home to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
I loved the location of this house near the cliffs. Great kitchen and views. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars was beautiful. The only thing I wasn't aware of was that I couldn't have my mercedes sprinter van parked there and I ended up getting two warnings. If I had known I would have driven a different car.
We were very impressed with this property. It was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. The views of the ocean were breathtaking, we saw whales from the living room, and the surroundings were very quiet - a short walking distance to the Gualala Point Regional Park. The hot tub was clean and sheltered from coastal winds. The property managers were very responsive when we reported that we found a hole in a window frame. The key pickup system added 15 minutes to our route but it was easy and well organized. Only downside was the salt deposits on the windows, which limited visibility at sunset. Overall an amazing stay, we will be back!
