This area was not nearly as busy even on the weekend which was great! The home is everything as advertised and then some! This was our first time brining pets and it was 100% accommodating they enjoyed themselves as well. We will be booking this home again later this year. We also seen lots of whales from the back porch heading north. We highly recommend!!! ##### Zackary T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen C.

Obviously lets start with the views. You really can't turn around without seeing the ocean. The hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean at sunset honestly felt like the best treat you could ever have. Sitting outside in the morning, drinking coffee with the ocean was magical. The waves are constant and lull you to sleep and keep the peace. The house is well stocked, the kitchen is super user friendly and labeled nicely. Thank you for the binoculars and telescope to try to catch whales and the clearest stars. We felt at home! ##### Cimeron A. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane S.

The property itself is really nice and well maintained. We had a really peaceful stay without any issues, and the host was very communicative and helpful. One feature that I don't recall seeing in the listing are the heated toilet seat/bidets in the downstairs bathrooms. It was a surprising perk that makes the place feel just that little bit more luxurious. ##### Adam D. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans G.

Ideal location super accessible to Gualala, Sea Ranch Lodge and even 2 Fish Bakery, just a bit further! Creative interior design and well outfitted kitchen. The only strange design flaw is that the 2nd floor bedroom, which I'd call the Master bedroom, doesn't have a shower, so you need to go downstairs. Excellent communication with owner! ##### Hans G.

If this place were a clover it would have five leaves. Everything we wanted in a NorCal coastal trip. Beautiful views, great beaches nearby, convenient local shopping, restaurants and perfect amenities at the house. The beautiful decks, ample Adirondack style chairs, and a perfectly peaceful hot tub at night looking up at a star-filled sky. There isn't really any way to get better than this unless a butler were involved. We want to go back here again and again. ##### James B. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison M.

They absolutely loved everything about the home - incredible Pacific views, great house design to take in the views, clean, comfortable, quaint town with wonderful restaurants. Can’t say enough about how much they enjoyed their stay. Terry was a fabulous host and made them feel welcome and comfortable. His website had great recommendations for activities and restaurants and he was super responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this home! Thank you Terry!! ##### Alison M.

Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Coastal getaway There were a few issues that needed to be handled upon check in. We contacted the property manager and the owner, and the items were taken care of. The house was clean. The kitchen appliances were high quality; however, the pots and pans need to be upgraded as well. We made do but would have been easier with better things. This is not out of line with other VRBO properties we have rented. It is too bad more owners don't spend the money or take stock of the kitchen equipment. That being said we had a great time, and the view was great even though we had fog every day but one. Not the owner's fault. If you are going to spend time on the coast this might be the place to rent. ##### Tim C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelley W.

Kitchen was well stocked (though spice cupboard could use a cleaning). The parking was easy and the location was very central to Gualala. But THE VIEW is the reason you stay here. It’s amazing. And the super clean hot tub on the deck watching the sunset is perfection. My only caveat that I would mention for others is that it’s not in a great walking area ( unless you want to walk to town). But all in all a gem of a home and would love to stay at again! Terry, the host, was very accommodating and communicative. It was a great vacation! ##### Kelley W.

Forget any anxiety of wondering if the home will be as good as the photos. It is. Only better because the photos can't describe the sound of the waves and the feeling of flying as you sit, watching sunsets, on the literal edge of America. In addition, the layout affords plenty of privacy, kitchen has everything you need and more, and it is a welcoming home (not a soulless rental). Without hesitation I recommend this place to my friends. What an amazing place! ##### SE S.

The views are incredible. We had deer come by every morning. Terry is a super host! The special added touches like disposable slippers, make-up wipes, Aveeno lotion, etc. just made it feel like a 5-star hotel. The communication between Terry and Megan was outstanding. The home is comfortable, very clean with nice furnishings and the kitchen is well stocked with every item you would need including a Brita pitcher. My family will definitely be returning to this home in the future if available. ##### Harold J.

The hosts are also incredibly hospitable and made every part of our stay easy and memorable. This stay was far better managed and cared for than any professionally managed property we’ve stayed at. The hosts love their home and it shows. We felt so comfortable and didn’t want to leave. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is welll stocked, the heating and fireplace work great, and everything was up to date. Our only two (tiny) flags are that it would be even better if the shrubs out front would be trimmed slightly to obstruct less of the view and I failed to realize that the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a shower (guests have to go downstairs to shower). Regardless of the those two points we will most definitely book here again and can’t complain. Thank you! ##### Vanessa M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April C.

We were welcomed by seashell chocolates on the dining table, which was a nice touch. The views are breathtaking and the property is very private. I was pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by two fawns as we unloaded the car. It is always nice to have a gorgeous place to visit that will accommodate the entire family from our 2 year old daughter to my 84 year old mother and furbaby. We were impressed by the changing table and high chair we gladly used for our toddler. There were also some pet supplies and a dog bed under the stairs. Additionally the home comes with warm robes and slippers, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, makeup wipes and Qtips, boardgames and fans if you get warm or like them to sleep. I know i can pack less in future visits because they have thought if everything! The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, Keurig/Coffee pot, tea kettle, utensils and seasonings, coffee, Kcups, tea. We liked that we could cook our breakfast each morning. There is a great market down the street that also offers delicious BBQ on the weekends. Trinks Cafe is a gem and kid/dog friendly. We ate at Sea Ranch Lodge for our anniversary dinner and took a drive to Point Arena Lighthouse the next day. We tried to use the massage chair and hot tub often. We appreciate the host being so responsive and accomodating a last minute change to our travel dates. Thank you for the memories. We will definitely be BACK!!! ##### April C.

You can enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the hot tub, the back yard, or right from the living room/bedrooms. The house is nicely updated with a cozy charm. The charming towns of Gualala and Sea Ranch are easily accessible from the property. ##### Jeffrey F.
