About this property

Cabin 5 On The Bluff. Large Deck With Spectacular Ocean Views And Fire Pit!

Nestled right on an ocean cliff just off California's beautiful Highway 1 Stand on the deck as low tide reveals the rocks where abalone abound. Crashing of the surf is always on hand and steps down to the ocean are located just across the driveway. Whales may be seen during their annual migrations, and sea lions reside on two small islands just up the coast. Cabin 5 is rustic and cozy. With a full size sauna and Fire Pit. All rooms but one are built from redwood, and the home is completely furnished with bedding and linens, and including fireplace, forced air heating, free internet access, and DirectTV . Both bedrooms have wonderful white water views. The kitchen is small but functional with coffee maker, coffee grinder, stove, oven, toaster, refrigerator and microwave.The home is located two miles north of the small town of Gualala which has galleries, restaurants, gym, bookstore, and several spas. Five miles to the south is the eighteen hole Sea Ranch Golf Course. Other activities include kayaking on the Gualala River estuary or visiting the historic Point Arena Lighthouse located just ten miles to the north. Cap off your day by sitting on the deck with a glass of wine while watching the sun go down.

Amazing views and COMFY bed!

We had an outstanding time here, and the pictures don’t do it justice! We absolutely loved our stay, and hope to be here again in the future one day. The bed was hands-down one of the best I’ve encountered in my travels away from home. Highly recommended!!!

Spectacular peacefulness!

This is a cozy comfortable cabin on the bluff. The views are spectacular both outside and inside. Several lovely places to sit. Both my little longhaired dachshund and I enjoyed it immensely and wished our stay was longer than 3 nights. What a wonderful place to rejuvenate!

If you want to be on the ocean, this is your place. It's cozy, comfy and stunning views. If you are looking for luxury this isn't it. But if you are looking for top notch hosts, incredible location and views you must book this place. We were so comfortable and relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. A getaway l!

Cabin 5 On the Bluffs was exceptional! This charming cabin is the perfect place to unplug. The setting overlooking the ocean watching whales and sea lions is what I needed. I highly recommend visiting. Shelly was great to work with. Thank you, Shelly. You'll be hearing from me again!

Peace and Tranquility with a Dose of Magic

Hugged by the ocean at point’s end, soothed by its beauty and the sound of waves, we sailed through days of peaceful quiet and renewal of spirit. Perfect spot for those looking for a respite from virtual reality and to reconnect to the real world.

Incredible Views, Cozy Cabin Vibes

We were extremely impressed with this house. It was even better than the pictures! The view is just surreal- you are surrounded by the ocean which you can see from pretty much every room. The interior house itself is a bit dated, but still very clean and comfortable. The 2 bedrooms worked out great so our 1 year old could have his own room. And a big plus that it’s dog friendly- not a fenced in yard (& not a kid friendly deck), but still safe from the bluffs and lots of grass to play on. The location is great too- 5 min from Gualala and 15 min from Point Arena. And the owners are super friendly and hospitable. Will definitely be returning!

Experience of a Lifetime

Simply put, Cabin 5 on the Bluff is the coolest place I've ever stayed. You can see the ocean from the living room, both bedrooms, the bathroom and the sauna. You can actually even see ocean waves while laying in bed!This was the third time I've stayed here and I will most definitely be back!

Seaside Cozy Charm

This was our chance to take a break, and this place did not disappoint. We found it comfortable and were just mesmerized with the views of the Pacific. The house had all the essentials we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the deck very spacious. We will definitely return.

Lovely stay with beautiful views!

We had an excellent stay at Cabin 5. The place was cozy and clean, and the views were amazing. We had a perfect view of the sunset. There is a nice deck and yard- it's not fenced but it was really easy to just keep our dog on a long line while we hung out outside. Very peaceful and tranquil getaway. Spoke with the host on the phone and he was super sweet and helpful. Would definitely want to come back again!
