About this property
Sea Ranch 2BR dog-friendly home with hot tub & golf-course views
Summary:
At the north end of Sea Ranch on the boundary of the Golf Links, this bright single-level home sleeps 4 with distant ocean views from the living room and primary bedroom, a private hot tub, and dog-friendly yard. Gualala Point Regional Park and the Bluff Trail are minutes away on foot.
The Space:
The Sea Ranch Golf Links runs along the western boundary of this bright, single-level north-end home, where distant Pacific views reach the living room and primary bedroom and a private hot tub caps days spent on the Bluff Trail or at Gualala Point. Two queen bedrooms sleep 4; dogs welcome.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Choose from 2 bedrooms, with queen beds that promise a great night's sleep. Two bedrooms sleep 4 under the redwood canopy.
KITCHEN AND EVENINGS
The open kitchen handles coastal breakfasts between Bluff Trail walks — dishwasher, free WiFi, and HBO on the flatscreen for foggy nights in.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Two queen bedrooms sleep 4 — sized for couples' weekends or a quiet north-end retreat.
INSIDE THE OPEN PLAN
The sun-filled living area pairs distant ocean views with golf-course green — a flatscreen, dishwasher kitchen, and deck hot tub bracket days that split between Del Mar pool laps and Gualala Point wave watching. HBO, DVD, and Blu-ray options cover foggy-night entertainment after Bluff Trail walks with the dogs.
GUALALA POINT ORBIT
Gualala Point Regional Park and Bluff Trail access are minutes down the road — harbor seals on the shelves below, gray whales in season, and Del Mar Recreation Center's pool and sauna when you want a swim. The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant sits eight minutes by car; Gualala groceries 10 minutes north. Pickleball and tennis courts at Del Mar round out active days without leaving the north end of The Sea Ranch.

The Neighborhood:
Stretching along ten miles of the Sonoma Coast, The Sea Ranch offers a rare blend of coastal wilderness and thoughtfully designed homes. Nearby highlights include community heated pool (North) (2-minute drive), Shell Beach tidepools (8-minute drive), The Sea Ranch Lodge restaurant, lounge and café (8-minute drive). Trails lead from your door to the bluffs, beaches, and through the forest. Heated pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and The Sea Ranch Lodge round out the amenities. For provisions, Gualala (10 minutes north) has grocery stores, restaurants, and a gas station. Jenner and Bodega Bay are scenic drives south.
Getting Around:
Sea Ranch is about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco -- take Highway 101 to Highway 1 for one of California's most scenic coastal drives. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, roughly 90 minutes east. A car is the way to go for exploring the area.
Other Things to Note:
Wake up each morning to read the newspaper and prepare freshly ground coffee and homemade waffles in the kitchen (with a dishwasher), and gather around the dining table to admire the views and use the free WiFi to post photos of the morning's sunrise. Keep an eye open for harbor seals as you walk your dogs on the Bluff Trail (Good to know: a two-dog maximum applies), and come home to soak in the private hot tub, toss your bathing suits in the washer/dryer, and gather in the living room for a night of cable, HBO, DVD, and Blu-ray favorites on the flatscreen TV.
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.
December through April is whale season. You may spot gray whales breaching right from the bluff trail nearby. Wildflower season (April-June) transforms the coastal bluffs into a tapestry of color -- worth an extra walk on the trails. Summer offers long days and warm afternoons, though the iconic Sonoma Coast fog often rolls in at sunrise and clears by noon.

The home is superb -- easy access from CA1, clean, one-story, nice views of the Sea Ranch meadow and cypresses toward the ocean. And easy access to Gualala and Pt. Arena, that are both well well worth visiting.

Perfect place!
Whispering Wave was a perfect getaway for 2 people and 2 dogs. Clean, well-appointed, and very close to several trails leading to the bluffs.

Weekend get away.
We had a great time. The Sea Ranch is a perfect place to get away from the city and just relax by the ocean.
With the idea that appropriate expectations make for a more satisfying stay, I will be straightforward about this property. It was very clean and provided what we needed for our stay. It has two nice bedrooms, one of which looks over a meadow and then the golf course. It is near Gualala. The house is quite close to the neighbors so when you are in the hot tub you are looking directly at the neighbor's wall on one side and out to a meadow/golf course on the other. It is fine, but you wouldn't want to be loud in the hot tub late in the evening. The decor of the house is comfortable and clean, but functional rather than inviting. They did not splurge on the appliances, and we had some resulting problems. The house reads- someone's home base when they go on outside coastal adventures.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location.
The house was clean, open and bright and was very comfortable. The home has a nice blue-water-view, and is on the golf course, but retains a sense of privacy. Definitely a place to return to again.
