Oceanfront home with fireplace & private hot tub - close to town

Photo gallery for Oceanfront home with fireplace & private hot tub - close to town

The living room opens right to the deck -- settle into the sofa by the gas fireplace and let the ocean set the pace for your stay.
Step out to the upper deck and take in the panoramic Gualala coastline -- waves crashing on the rocks below and nothing but ocean to the horizon.
Soak in the cliffside hot tub with the Pacific stretching out beneath you -- this is the spot you'll talk about long after you leave.
A big-screen TV, gas fireplace, and bamboo accent wall give the living room a laid-back coastal feel -- the sliding glass door puts the ocean one step away.
Plenty of room to spread out -- the open living area connects to the dining room and flows to the oceanfront deck through the sliding glass door.

About this property

Oceanfront home with fireplace & private hot tub - close to town

Summary:

Perched on the bluffs where the Sonoma Coast meets the sky, this home delivers drama. Soak in the hot tub as the sun dips below the Pacific. A warm fire and ocean views anchor cozy evenings in. Room for 7 in this 3-bedroom home. St. Orres restaurant is within 3 miles. All other dining, river access, and Gualala Point Regional Park are a short drive away. Art galleries, river trails, and the wild Pacific are all within reach. The ever-changing ocean light fills the home, from golden mornings to fiery sunsets.



The Space:

Where the ocean meets the sky, your getaway begins!



Perched high on the cliffs of Gualala, this seaside sanctuary offers sweeping 180-degree ocean views that create the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories. Imagine sipping sunrise coffee while the horizon glows, soaking in the private hot tub beneath a sky full of stars, and resting peacefully as the ocean’s waves lull you to sleep in cozy beds. Every detail here invites you to slow down, connect, and savor the beauty of the sea.



Inside, the home is designed for comfort and connection. Newly installed flooring in much of the home adds a fresh, modern touch, while the open living space invites everyone to gather around the gas fireplace. A Smart TV provides easy entertainment after long beach days, and the fully equipped kitchen — complete with a new dishwasher — makes it easy to cook meals together, whether it’s a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring or a relaxing dinner with the ocean as your soundtrack.



Outdoors, the two-level deck is made for both quiet reflection and family fun. Watch whales migrate in the distance, view hawks catching a drift up close, and enjoy the ever-changing colors of the Pacific.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Choose from 3 bedrooms. Altogether, the home comfortably sleeps 6.



PROPERTY AMENITIES

-- 3 bedrooms, 2 bath + 1 half bath

-- Private hot tub

-- Gas fireplace



Guest Access:

From the kitchen to the deck, everything in this home is at your disposal. The private hot tub is available around the clock -- no reservation needed. Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival.



The Neighborhood:

Orres Restaurant just five miles away. St. Orres restaurant is within 3 miles.



Getting Around:

Cooks Beach, a sheltered beach cove, is just a five-minute drive from the vacation home. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.



Other Things to Note:

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 for wildflower season -- the hills above Gualala and the river trails burst with lupine and California poppies. June through September brings the warmest weather. Morning fog is part of the charm -- it usually clears to reveal blue skies.



Cell service can be spotty along the coast. The home has WiFi for staying connected.

The place was great wonderful view plenty of room. The only issues we had, which were very minor was a few burners on the stove, not working which they offered to come and fix right away other than that fabulous place could use a little TLC on the outside appearance.!

Everything about our stay was excellent, but the best part was definitely the ocean front view. The house was very well taken care of and cozy. We spent a lot of our time on the deck taking in the stunning view. I would definitely come here again. The upstairs bed was very comfortable!

This is my second stay here. Beautiful place. Can’t beat the view. And the house is spacious enough for several people to stay comfortably. It’s not the poshest home on the coast but we were very happy with it. That’s what keeps the rent reasonable. It’s cozy and comfy. The hot tub was great. And the location is fantastic!

Incredible view and excellent staff when assistance was needed

The view was unbelievable. We came from Florida and thoroughly enjoyed the cool temperatures gazing at the Pacific Ocean. It was magical. We did have some questions about the property and called Vacasa and they were 100% responsive. Herb did an excellent job of helping us. We would love to come back again.

Take advantage of the beautiful view as much as you can. Gualala and public trails are so close. ...

We loved all of our short little hiking trips, and that the local stores were so close. The kitchen was so easy to cook in.

Beautiful house with a beautiful view!!!

Loved being able to take a dip in the hot tub, gaze at the ocean, gaze at the stars. Close to town too so grabbing any necessities was simple. Easy parking, well equipped kitchen. We didn’t have to leave the house for during the entirety of our stay.

Excellent Location

This was a beautiful property and worked perfect for our family. The house was clean and comfortable and the hot tub, with a view, was amazing. The only down side is no BBQ or access to a washer and dryer, but we knew that when we booked. The beds were comfortable and they offered plenty of blankets and pillows to get cozy. Thanks for a great stay!!!
