About this property

Our house has two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have king size beds. It will accommodate 4 people. The large bathroom has two sinks and both a shower and a bath tub. The house is furnished with antiques and fine art.

It has views of the large meadow that the house is situated in and of the redwood forest behind the house. The meadow and the forest attract numerous animals and birds. You will see deer, quail, wild turkeys, rabbits, and the occasional fox. The birds love to come and circle in the air over the meadow. Ravens, blue jays, hawks, quail, and various small birds abound. The setting is quiet and calming.

Our house has two floors with the two bedrooms on the first floor and the living area upstairs. This provides a wonderful view reminiscent of a tree house. There are two televisions and wireless internet. There is a full size washer and dryer.

The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker and ample storage. It is equipped with dishes, cooking utensils, towels, etc. You do not need to bring anything with you other than your clothes and food.

There is a sunny deck outside and a hot tub adjacent to the deck. One of the private Sea Ranch trails is across the street and easily accessible for your hikes. This area of Sea Ranch abuts to a forested area that is undeveloped. The hillsides above are covered with trees and vegetation.

The large, heated Olympic swimming pool is .7 miles away and you can walk or drive. The dog park is 1/2 mile with a nice trail that you can walk on to get to it. The golf course is 1/4 mile to the clubhouse.

We are located very close to Gualala, a 5 minute drive away. You have easy access to the shopping, restaurants and sights of Gualala.

The coast is a short drive or about a 15 minute walk. There are numerous coves, beaches and tide pools to explore. We keep a trails map in the house so you can find your way around.

You will find our house to be a cozy comfortable place for your coastal stay.

Rich & Wanda's Home

My daughter, her partner, and I enjoyed our 5-day stay in Rich and Wanda's home. Located in a quiet area of Sea Ranch, near lovely trees and paths, their house is furnished comfortably with everything one needs for a cozy stay. We slept well in the big beds under warm duvet-covered comforters and pillows. Their kitchen has all the gear you might need to prepare an 8-course dinner to an afternoon snack, including things like a French press to brew coffee; a citrus press, and even a potato masher. There's a washer dryer with laundry soap provided, which came in handy after we came home a bit soaked from the rain. The hot tub was a special treat. Wanda and Rich have books, a mystery puzzle and games if you don't bring your own. They provide a landline which we didn't have to use, but it would be handy in an emergency if our cell phones didn't work. When it rained, I enjoyed looking out the windows and sketching while my daughter and her partner read or worked. Between the rains, we took walks on the trails, along the beach cliffs, and for my birthday my "kids" treated me to a visit at the B Bryan Ranch, a must see if you are interested in wildlife and wildlife conservation. Rich was great at communicating with us before and during our stay. We're happy to recommend them as hosts and their home as a comfortable place to stay. Thank you Rich and Wanda!

Excellent base for exploring the California Coast

After spending the day hiking with friends up and down the coast, this was a wonderful, quiet and comfortable place to relax in the evening. Lots of space, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, full size washer/dryer, and nice hot shower. It took a moment to adjust to the kitchen/living area being upstairs, as I'd never seen a layout like that before. Very quiet location, with easy access to Highway 1.

Excellent! Will book again.

We stayed for 6 nights in June 2022 and it was wonderful. We loved the design of the house with the bedrooms on the lower level, where it is cooler, and the open plan living area upstairs. The beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook and play games and relax. We were blessed with sunny weather, which is never a guarantee on the coast. The house gets great sun and light. We loved sitting on the little back deck in the sun. There are beautiful hiking trails all around the property. This house is not on the ocean side & it does not have an ocean view, but you can walk to the end of the street to see an ocean view , and we decided we prefer this side for the privacy and forest trails. We drove to the ocean everyday & were there in a few minutes. We saw the baby seal pups at Tide Pool Beach and tried a different "cove" or beach area each day. My 11 year old son loved climbing the rocks and looking for urchins in the tide pools. We had a few questions for the hosts and they returned our call quickly and were friendly--Thank you Rich & Wanda! We rent a house at Sea Ranch each summer and this house is one we hope to return to again. It was a such a great week for our family. We read in the sunny living room, walked & hiked, saw rabbits, wild turkeys, deer, groundhogs, & seals. We sat in the hot tub, played games, & all cooked together. It is such a relaxing place. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Rich or Wanda Holmer

Wanda and I live in Sonoma County and use our Sea Ranch house as our retreat. We enjoy our walks and our time spent here.

Why they chose this property

Sea Ranch is a very special place where the residents actively protect the unique attributes of the coast. The homes are designed to blend into the nature and scenery of the area. There are no street lights to spoil the night time skies.

It is a great place to escape the dense population and traffic of the bay area.

What makes this property unique

We chose our lot to build our house on because of its quiet location away from the frequent visitors along the coast. It is in a cul de sac with only four other houses in the vicinity.
