Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of ocean waves when you escape to this three-bedroom Sea Ranch home, a dog-friendly property with a private hot tub, an expansive ocean-facing deck, and a stunning waterfront location. Gorgeously situated to face the Pacific Ocean and the wondrous rugged cliffs of The Sea Ranch, this beautiful home is just steps from the Bluff Trail and one mile north of Black Point and the Sea Ranch Lodge. It's also only eight miles south of the Sea Ranch Golf Links, nine miles from the shops and restaurants of Gualala, and 28 miles from the Point Arena Lighthouse and Museum. With paneled walls, hardwood floors, and soft leather furnishings, the living room is full of rustic atmosphere and plush comfort. Watch the morning fog blanket the ocean, or use the telescope to search for passing grey whales, harbor seals, and dolphins. The panoramic ocean views continue in the full kitchen, which features a large refrigerator, plentiful counterspace, and a dishwasher to take care of the clean-up. Sip your morning coffee by the window at the kitchen table, or share pancakes and bacon with your loved ones around the dining room table for six. But nowhere are the views more magnificent than on the large ocean-facing deck, where guests can relax in Adirondack chairs, use the gas grill to prepare al fresco meals, and soak their sore hiking legs in the luxurious private hot tub. Swimming pools and tennis courts are also available at the Sea Ranch Del Mar, Ohlson, and Moonraker Recreation Centers. As one of the most understated and beautiful stretches of the Northern California Coast, Sea Ranch is a wonderful place to escape into nature. Walk among the local black-tailed deer as you hike the Bluff Trail, or play 18 scenic holes amid the cypress and pines at the Sea Ranch Golf Links. This home is also just 58 miles south of Mendocino - the perfect day trip for those in search of a majestic coastal drive along California Highway 1.

Super clean, great location and the views are amazing. It's pet-friendly but you wouldn't think it was because it's so clean! Hot tub is fantastic, no issues with TV or wifi. Kitchen is stocked really well with all modern appliances, dishes, cookware, you name it.There are three deers that visit! You can also hear the ocean waves from the property when you sit in the hot tub.Truly an amazing property, worth the money. ##### Julie L.

Bowsprit Retreat was perfect for us and our dog! We had the best time celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday at this house with its ocean views! It was a perfect and relaxing experience, even in the rain. The house had everything we needed and then some. Working with vacasa was an awesome, easy experience! ##### Kimberlee B.

Fabulous location, very comfy and relaxed home, with everything you need - our dog was in heaven and didn't want to leave. People said they felt the house needed upgrading, but there is new furniture and comfy bedding and a well-appointed kitchen, so the fact that it is an older home wasn't a drawback at all. The house was very clean as well. We look forward to coming back to stay often! ##### Rachel L.

Oct 28, 2024 #### Amazing Ocean Views There are no words to describe the amazing view right out the front windows . Great beaches are within walking distance. Surfing in the waves right out in front of the house. I found everything to be very clean and tidy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal and make your stay comfortable The primary bedroom was large with the same amazing view as the front room . Bed was very comfortable. My son and his lady friend stayed in a guest room with a partial ocean view and were very satisfied. There is a work space for those who may need to do a little We will definitely rebook this vacation rental again soon. ##### Sherry S.

Oct 9, 2024 #### A treasure of a house Our family has come to Sea Ranch for over two decades now, renting a dozen different houses and always loving the experience. The last few times, we've stayed at this place on Bowsprit close. We love this house. It is absolutely perfect! Right on the bluff top and on the trail by the water front. No noise, except for the gentle giant The Pacific and its deep and powerful breathing. We love the house location, and a big highlight for us is that there is an enclosed garden where we can let the dog run around and sniff everything! Whenever we come there, she recognizes the place and becomes exuberant with joy (just like us)! We are so grateful to the owners for making their lovely house available! ##### Pierre D.

Nov 30, 2023 #### Bowsprit - checks lots of boxes We are a group of retired women who have enjoyed many visits to beautiful Sea Ranch and have stayed at many lovely properties over the years. Bowsprit is a favorite, not just for the amazing unobstructed water views, but it is dog friendly. The enclosed front yard is fully fenced and a safe place to let your dog roam freely for those early morning or late night visits (don’t forget to “pick up” each day). Bowsprit is cozy and comfortable and won’t disappoint. ##### evelyn m. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sheri W. Oct 17, 2023 #### Expected more for the price Home is comfortable and clean and has a great view. It is "showing it's age" in many ways, and we were frustrated with a non-functional jacuzzi, complete lack of wood for the wood stove, and baseboard heating that made it impossible to control tempurature in the bedrooms ##### Sheri W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra Z. Nov 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful location This home is in a prime Sea Ranch location...right next to the bluff. Ocean sounds all day and night. The home itself is comfortable and adequate, although the decor is a bit tired. The main living area lighting isn't good enough for evening reading and required multiple individual lights be turned on, but in-bed reading was ok. There was a power outage and the provided lantern didn't work. Overall it's a solid B+. ##### Debra Z.

Jul 14, 2024 #### Bowsprit Retreat - June 2024 This home has to rank as one of our favorites in Sea Ranch. It had a great location - right on the bluff and more or less equidistant between Black Point Beach and Pebble Beach. It has expansive windows both in the living room and the master suite that give great views of the ocean and the sunset. The kitchen was relatively well appointed (except coffee filters!) and the beds were quite comfortable relative to other Sea Ranch homes we have rented. The small suggestions for improvement we had were (1) the furniture needed vacuuming. The living room couches had dog hair and crumbs on them when we arrived and made me allergic in the evenings; (2) the trees around the home - especially the tree that looms over the hot tub - needed some pruning. The hot tub was a bit of a disappointment because of this tree as you couldn't see much of the sky because the tree has grown out over the hot tub, which was not clear from the images; (3) the windows (with those incredible views) needed cleaning when we arrived. We were initially just bummed about it but then discovered a hose on the deck in front of the windows. One quick rinse of the windows and the views returned and were spectacular for the duration. All in alll a great stay that we would definitely want to return to in future. Thank you! ##### Michael W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carrie L.

Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### A few quirks but would stay here again We spent a girls weekend at this property and overall had a really great time. We would come back for the view alone as we spent 90% of our time here on the deck. The check in process is cumbersome. We didn’t know till the day before we had to drive to the property management office to pick up a “welcome packet” which in reality was a parking pass you hang in your window. This seems like an unnecessary step for the renter to do. This “packet” could have easily been left at the property by the property manager when they come before we arrived to do things like turn on the hot tub. They also didn’t tell us we were able to check in early till 12pm, but we weren’t planning on leaving till 12 anyways because it’s a long drive. If we had known early we would have taken advantage of the extra time. But that’s minor. The property itself is nice, and very well stocked. My only complaint is the house definitely needs some updating. Paint is peeling, the flooring is missing around the second toilet, and there’s mold in random places (it’s right on the water so it’s constantly damp, so I’m sure mold is a constant issue). I also wish they would wash the windows that face the water before each stay. All of that being said, we had a great time. You absolutely cannot beat the view, and although the house needs some updating, it was comfortable and worked perfectly for our stay. We would stay here again! ##### Janay M.

Aug 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall I think this rental is good for a small family but could use some updating here and there. The main thing I believe prospective renters should know is that Vacasa asks that you drive 20-ish minutes (one way) from the house to pick up a parking pass within 24 hrs of arrival. That wouldn't be a big deal if we were staying for a while, but since we were there for just one day, I risked it and did not pick it up. I feel for what we paid, that pass should have been at the house. Not sure why that isn't the case already. The pros of the house: Pretty cool Sea Ranch architecture, great location that’s close to the lodge, ocean and trail, 2 nice new bathrooms , nice new large kitchen, a lovely view, and outdoor space for gathering. The "ok"s of the house: The hot tub was large but kind of dated and had weak jets. Even though there are 3 bedrooms, just know that only one is large with a view and the others are small and uninspired. And I would say that even though the size and view from the large bedroom is great, it really could use some updating/freshening up. Some of the artwork was covered in cobwebs just adding to an overall “just good, not great” feeling. All in all, I'm not sure it's worth the price for a couple but we did see a bobcat on the porch, so maybe it is! :) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b133a60-7de7-4e87-831c-80d76a783d8b-1756148465572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Deanna E.
