Young children must not be left unattended in the mezzanine area due to the high railings.
Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.
Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.
Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

Perfect weekend getaway for couples!
Had an incredible weekend here with 6 total people, 3 couples. Location is great, the house was great - everything worked perfectly. Great that there’s 3 rooms with double/queen beds so no couples have to deal with twin beds. Highly recommend this home!

Private and peaceful with amazing views....
The home is perfect for a weekend getaway or a week long vacation. Views of the Pacific dominate the main floor, while the master looks out to a peaceful, rural scene complete with sheep roaming the hillside behind the property. I will definitely stay again.
