About this property

Casa Pacis (House of Peace) - Superb WW-Views in desirable Sea Ranch locatio

The Sea Ranch is a world-renowned primary and secondary home community along a 10-mile stretch of California's breathtaking, beautiful coastline, about 110 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The Sea Ranch is particularly famous for its strict architectural standards, following the motto "building light on the land.'" (Houses intentionally have unobtrusive sidings and modest appearance in order to optimally blend into the environment; vehicles are parked out of view; underground power lines). Casa Pacis shares three lot lines with commons areas and the 4th with two undeveloped lots, which provides for exceptional privacy. The Sea Ranch territory includes tens of miles of private roads, many hiking trails, three recreation centers that are open to our renting guests (free or charge), and a beautiful, challenging 18-hole golf course. Features such as no street lighting, fences not marking lot lines but only to shield cars from outside view, no overhead power lines, no sidewalks, and no roof-top antennas clearly differentiate Sea Ranch from normal 'suburbia.'

Located directly above the Sea Ranch's most beautiful sand dunes, at a cul-de-sac near "Walk-on-Beach," this small home has picturesque ocean views from everywhere inside. Our "House of Peace" has large wrap-around decks and lots of privacy.

The "Casa Pacis" home has approximately 900 square feet of rented living area and a view loft. It features ceramic tile floors and wall-to-wall carpets, as well as vaulted ceilings in all rooms. Large windows, comfortable furniture, a cozy conventional open fireplace, and decor will contribute to making your stay pleasant and memorable. The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances. Enjoy the extra-large wrap-around deck area with built-in hot tub (with ocean view), and the overall uniquely private yet close-to-ocean setting.

love location, house pretty good

House older than expected, had few problems though the owner was very responsive and helpful. Rules a bit over the top--use one towel per person or wash and dry extras yourself.For luxury price, I expected more luxury. Difficulty with keys when first arrived--took a while to get door open. All that being said, I might say there again

Anniversary get away

The energy of this VRBO was perfect, very artistic setting. Truly a place to relax. Close access to the beach, and walking paths. VRBO needs some TLC. Deep cleaning, new window treatments, and updated furniture. This was our first visit to Sea Ranch, and we will be visiting again. Not sure if it would be Casa Pacis.

Perfect proximity

Love this house, the size (just perfect for two), the proximity to the beach, and the friendliness of the hosts. Close enough to walk to, see and hear the ocean, but far enough not to see Bluff Trail walkers right up close. Tidy, well equipped, with lots of privacy too. Hosts friendly and responsive. Will definitely want to stay again when in Sea Ranch.

Two Winning Features

The two winning features of this home are its location and the rental cost. The home is very tired and it shows everywhere - from sliding glass and screen doors to indoor and outdoor furniture. The decor is quaint but out-of-date and the outdoor spa/hot tub is small and control panel is hard to figure out. There is more to comment on but enough for now. I only wish we knew the age and condition of the place before we rented. I’m certain the owners are good people and we’ll intentioned. But if it was not for the price I might suggest either an update or drop it out of the VRBO rental pool.

About the host

Hosted by Klaus Heinemann,

Ever since we discovered The Sea Ranch in 1970, it has remained our favorite vacation destination. The natural beauty is, every time anew, amazing. The climate at Sea Ranch is markedly warmer and sunnier than elsewhere on the Central California coast (i.e., between Monterey and Bodega Bay).

Why they chose this property

We discovered Sea Ranch shortly after we had immigrated to the United States, and immediately fell in love with it, probably because it reminded us in natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast in Italy and in climate of the German North Sea islands. We purchased our lot and built Casa Pacis in 1983 and enjoyed every minute of our numerous stays in this gorgeous environment ever since. It is remarkable that, even though many years passed since we first visited Sea Ranch, the unique character of this incredible place has been preserved. Much of the interior and exterior has been renovated.

What makes this property unique

--- Close to ocean and ocean waves sounds;
--- unobstructed ocean views from almost everywhere inside;
--- lots of privacy, peaceful location
--- next buildings far away (undeveloped lots in front, commons on back and sides)
--- 100 yards from the 10-mile long ocean bluff trail
--- hot tub built into ocean view deck
--- desirable open fireplace
--- free, unlimited fiber-optics Internet
