About this property

Incredibly Beautiful, Private, Unique Home Perched On The Bluff At Ocean's Edge!

We call our home Standing Wave. For us and our guests, staying here is a relaxing and tranquil experience. Things are calm and peaceful and yet filled with the excitement of the dramatic ocean views.

You won't believe the view, the peace & the serenity here! Come for a peaceful getaway. Enjoy all that this amazing coast has to offer. You can spend the entire day relaxing & whale watching in your private accommodations, or venture out to take full advantage of all that Sea Ranch has to offer...year-round, outdoor heated pools, hiking trails, tennis courts, and more views! You'll want to come back again & again!

Your accommodations will be in our guesthouse, on a gated, private Sea Ranch estate. We purchased this unique property 2 years ago because of the amazing location & privacy, and we love to share it with others. It is one of the largest oceanfront parcels at The Sea Ranch, with commanding views of the Pacific in all directions. The cottage is separated from the main house by a large meadow & rolling hills (see pictures). We are regularly treated to parades of whales & seals, deer migration, foxes, birds, and other abundant wildlife!

Your romantic cottage is studio-style, which is appointed with a wood burning fireplace, wet bar with microwave & mini-fridge, and tall ceilings with open concept living & comfortable sleeping area. There is a large bathroom with double sinks, as well as a full wet room with double shower & large bathtub. The entire cottage is bathed in natural light with large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean. And if you decide to venture outside, there is a private deck for dining, lounging, or whale watching.

Weekend Getaway

Great location for a weekend getaway to relax or explore the northern Californian coast! Amazing views from the home. Only limiting factor is no oven but not a deal breaker if you keep cooking simple on the stove top.

Beautiful cozy cottage

Perfect location for a couple. The studio is well laid-out, and the extra-large bathroom allows plenty of room to spread out. The proximity of the Sea Ranch lodge permits quick trips for lattes and pastries in the morning.

The Perfect Place to Unwind

This is a wonderful place to rest and recharge. It’s not ideal for those seeking social interaction or a bustling atmosphere, but if you’re looking to create space for stillness—surrounded by the beauty of nature—this spot delivers. Whether you’re tuning into your thoughts or simply being present with a loved one, you won’t be disappointed.

Beyond words. We had high expectations but they were all surpassed. The views are stunning; the space is elegantly designed. We chose this for our 25th anniversary and were familiar with Sea Ranch but this place is the best. We felt transported as the view was incredible and the only sounds are the ocean and birds.

Standing Wave at The Sea Ranch

Stayed for a week at the Standing Wave guest house. Excellent location and breathtaking views. The house is small yet ideal for a couple looking for some peace and quiet. Guest house equipped with nearly everything you need for a week of chill.

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Ebendorf

Host profile image
We love being close to the ocean and it has been a family dream to have a place like this to share with others. We spend most of our time in the Bay Area (from Sea Ranch to Marin to San Francisco). We have always had a love of travel and special places and have been spending time in Sea Ranch for the better part of a decade.

Why they chose this property

The setting of this property captured our hearts the moment that we saw it. As a mother-daughter venture, we wanted to create a fabulous place for old and new friends (like you) to have an unforgettable experience. Fun fact - we took this property over from even more family, Mike and Manny. In short, this property is a very special place to us and we are sure it will be for you as well!

What makes this property unique

We're perfectly located on almost 5 acres of oceanfront property at the south end of The Sea Ranch. That's puts us in close proximity to The Sea Ranch Lodge, Two Fish Baking Company & General Store, the community recreation centers, and miles & miles of great trails & sandy beaches.
