Lucky Ewe - Gualala | 3BR | Ocean Views | Sleeps 6

Lucky Ewe - Gualala | 3BR | Ocean Views | Sleeps 6

8/10 Good
"The location of this property was excellent, and the ocean views were fabulous. The home and kitchen were well-equipped. Nice big screen TV. Good internet. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. Comfortable beds. Nice deck. The listing was a little ambiguous regarding the number of bathrooms -- there are two full bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower, and one with a shower over tub. On the negative side: It smells a little musty, but that is to be expected considering the proximity to the ocean. Closet space is limited; so, it might be nice if the owners were to install some hooks in the bedrooms to add hang-up options. One of the bathrooms did not have towel racks; so, again a few hooks or a towel rack would be a nice addition. I would stay here again."

Sibley | Beautiful Ocean Views & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this place for just the two of us. Great vicinity to the Bluff Trail, nice views complete with hot tub on the deck, wonderful spaciousness and sun in the common rooms, with the master bedroom set back in the calm and dark. (We slept so well! Super comfortable king mattress, too.) If we had to quibble, it would be that the bathroom and kitchen might call for some updating (but we didn't mind at all and appreciated the pricing on a less 'fancy' place). Everything was well thought-out, clean and efficient."

10/10 Excellent
"The house is super clean, full of amenities and super comfortable beds with soft sheets. Good nature views and peaceful to spend time on the back deck. The king bed and extra twin is upstairs via a very narrow & steep spiral staircase. This is pictured in the listing. Sea Ranch is very relaxing and we loved walking along the cliffs and exploring the beaches. Very relaxing getaway."
