Bowsprit Retreat

Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of ocean waves when you escape to this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a dog-friendly property with a private hot tub, an expansive ocean-facing deck, and a stunning waterfront location. Gorgeously situated to face the Pacific Ocean and the wondrous rugged cliffs of The Sea Ranch, this beautiful home is just steps from the Bluff Trail and one mile north of Black Point and the Sea Ranch Lodge. It's also only eight miles south of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, nine miles from the shops and restaurants of Gualala, and 28 miles from the Point Arena Lighthouse and Museum.

With paneled walls, hardwood floors, and soft leather furnishings, the living room is full of rustic atmosphere and plush comfort. Watch the morning fog blanket the ocean, or use the telescope to search for passing grey whales, harbor seals, and dolphins. The panoramic ocean views continue in the full kitchen, which features a large refrigerator, plentiful counterspace, and a dishwasher to take care of the clean-up. Sip your morning coffee by the window at the kitchen table, or share pancakes and bacon with your loved ones around the dining room table for six. But nowhere are the views more magnificent than on the large ocean-facing deck, where guests can relax in Adirondack chairs, use the gas grill to prepare al fresco meals, and soak their sore hiking legs in the luxurious private hot tub. Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers.

As one of the most understated and beautiful stretches of the Northern California Coast, Sea Ranch is a wonderful place to escape into nature. Walk among the local black-tailed deer as you hike the Bluff Trail, or play 18 scenic holes amid the cypress and pines at the Sea Ranch Golf Links. This home is also just 58 miles south of Mendocino - the perfect day trip for those in search of a majestic coastal drive along California Highway 1.

House was much closer to "beach" than the pictures showed. A lot of friendly people walked by on the trail within 100 ft. of your porch. Views were unobstructed and magnificent.

Overall I think this rental is good for a small family but could use some updating here and there. The main thing I believe prospective renters should know is that Vacasa asks that you drive 20-ish minutes (one way) from the house to pick up a parking pass within 24 hrs of arrival. That wouldn't be a big deal if we were staying for a while, but since we were there for just one day, I risked it and did not pick it up. I feel for what we paid, that pass should have been at the house. Not sure why that isn't the case already. The pros of the house: Pretty cool Sea Ranch architecture, great location that’s close to the lodge, ocean and trail, 2 nice new bathrooms , nice new large kitchen, a lovely view, and outdoor space for gathering. The "ok"s of the house: The hot tub was large but kind of dated and had weak jets. Even though there are 3 bedrooms, just know that only one is large with a view and the others are small and uninspired. And I would say that even though the size and view from the large bedroom is great, it really could use some updating/freshening up. Some of the artwork was covered in cobwebs just adding to an overall “just good, not great” feeling. All in all, I'm not sure it's worth the price for a couple but we did see a bobcat on the porch, so maybe it is! :)

Home at the bluff

Our stay at this perfectly located home at the bluff was great. Our family had a great time in Sea Ranch and enjoyed the view, cooking meals in the kitchen, and spending time in the hot tub. We would stay again!

Nice stay in Sea Ranch

The property has an amazing location and a good layout. The interior of the house could use some updating, but we had a lovely stay! The room configuration worked very well for our family and the front had a nice gated area.

The perfect spot!

Bowsprit Retreat was perfect for us and our dog! We had the best time celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday at this house with its ocean views! It was a perfect and relaxing experience, even in the rain. The house had everything we needed and then some. Working with vacasa was an awesome, easy experience!

Amazing Ocean Views

There are no words to describe the amazing view right out the front windows . Great beaches are within walking distance. Surfing in the waves right out in front of the house. I found everything to be very clean and tidy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal and make your stay comfortable The primary bedroom was large with the same amazing view as the front room . Bed was very comfortable. My son and his lady friend stayed in a guest room with a partial ocean view and were very satisfied. There is a work space for those who may need to do a little We will definitely rebook this vacation rental again soon.

Wonderful dog-friendly home

Bowsprit is now our new favorite Sea Ranch rental! Fabulous location, very comfy and relaxed home, with everything you need - our dog was in heaven and didn't want to leave. People said they felt the house needed upgrading, but there is new furniture and comfy bedding and a well-appointed kitchen, so the fact that it is an older home wasn't a drawback at all. The house was very clean as well. We look forward to coming back to stay often!

Expected more for the price

Home is comfortable and clean and has a great view. It is "showing it's age" in many ways, and we were frustrated with a non-functional jacuzzi, complete lack of wood for the wood stove, and baseboard heating that made it impossible to control tempurature in the bedrooms

A treasure of a house

Our family has come to Sea Ranch for over two decades now, renting a dozen different houses and always loving the experience. The last few times, we've stayed at this place on Bowsprit close. We love this house. It is absolutely perfect! Right on the bluff top and on the trail by the water front. No noise, except for the gentle giant The Pacific and its deep and powerful breathing. We love the house location, and a big highlight for us is that there is an enclosed garden where we can let the dog run around and sniff everything! Whenever we come there, she recognizes the place and becomes exuberant with joy (just like us)! We are so grateful to the owners for making their lovely house available!

Amazing location

The house, although not updated, is perfectly serviceable. This is our second stay in this house. It’s proximity to the bluff edge and nearby beach is the main attraction. We will return again.

Bowsprit - checks lots of boxes

We are a group of retired women who have enjoyed many visits to beautiful Sea Ranch and have stayed at many lovely properties over the years. Bowsprit is a favorite, not just for the amazing unobstructed water views, but it is dog friendly. The enclosed front yard is fully fenced and a safe place to let your dog roam freely for those early morning or late night visits (don’t forget to “pick up” each day). Bowsprit is cozy and comfortable and won’t disappoint.

Un acceptable amount of Mold and quality of property

I have stayed at VRBO’s multiple times and never have I experienced a property with mold or as run down as this property. This was one of the most expensive properties and VRBO should not have this as a recommended property. Also the owners should stop renting the property until they deal with the mold that was in multiple rooms. The BBQ was un functional as well. If it were not for the ocean front view this place would be considered a dump.

Beautiful location

This home is in a prime Sea Ranch location...right next to the bluff. Ocean sounds all day and night. The home itself is comfortable and adequate, although the decor is a bit tired. The main living area lighting isn't good enough for evening reading and required multiple individual lights be turned on, but in-bed reading was ok. There was a power outage and the provided lantern didn't work. Overall it's a solid B+.

Tucked into cypress, hearing the surf.

One of the best-placed, three bedroom oceanfront homes. Hyper-responsive Vacasa staff when TV and water were out. Clean. Super private side garden patio and hot tub. This house is showing its age; needs some loving and some furniture ( esp. beds and pillows) upgrades. Clangy, gurgley baseboard heating. Way too many frying pans. Wood stove needs some attention. Lots of nice light; a sense of privacy even though it’s on the bluff trail.
