About this property

Casa Pacis - superb ocean-views, in desirable Sea Ranch location; cozy, privacy

Charming cottage in superbly private setting, close to the ocean, at desirable "Walk-on-Beach" of The Sea Ranch. Master bedroom with CA-king bed; second BR with single twin bed, 2BA. No pets, 2 people maximum occupancy.

The Sea Ranch is a world-renowned primary residence and secondary home community along a 10-mile stretch of California's breathtaking coastline, about 110 miles north of San Francisco.

Staying in Casa Pacis includes free access to three recreation centers with pool with saunas and tennis/pickle-ball courts; modest green fees to the 18-hole Sea Ranch Golf Links.

The Sea Ranch is particularly famous for its strict architectural and environmental standards, following the motto "building light on the land.'" Houses are intentionally unobtrusive in order to optimally blend into the landscape; vehicles are parked off-street out of view; power lines are under-ground. Essentially no vehicular traffic on 40+ miles of private internal roads. No street lighting provides stunning views of the night sky.

Casa Pacis shares three lot lines with commons areas and the 4th with two undeveloped lots, which provides for exceptional privacy and unobstructed ocean views.

The Sea Ranch territory is ideal for recreational bicycling and has tens of miles hiking and biking trails. Features like low building profiles, no fences marking lot 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 and over-all modest vacation home has stunning panoramic ocean views from everywhere inside.

The "Casa Pacis" home has approximately 900 square feet of living area. It features ceramic tile floors, wall-to-wall carpeting and vaulted ceilings. Large view windows, comfortable furniture, a desirable conventional open fireplace, and decor will contribute to making your stay pleasant and memorable.

The all-electric kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances (refrigerator, range, microwave, etc.). 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.

ADDITIONAL RENTAL INFORMATION:
* Cleaning service and linens provided.
* 2-person maximum rental occupancy.
* No pets or assist animals, no smoking.

About the host

Hosted by Klaus Heinemann

Host profile image
Amazing natural beauty. The climate at Sea Ranch is markedly warmer and sunnier than elsewhere on the Central California coast.

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.
