Uniquely situated on one of the Pacific coast’s most spectacular bluffs, Vista Del Mar (“View of the Sea”) boasts broad, unobstructed white and blue water ocean views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and all three bedrooms. Absorb the powerful force of the waves against the black rocks…feel (and smell) the ocean breeze on your face…this is The Sea Ranch at its absolute best. Recently remodeled, Vista Del Mar features an elegant open floor plan with soaring exposed-beam ceilings and warm wood detailing throughout. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, it’s a short 10-minute walk to the Ohlson Recreation Center and beach where you can swim, play tennis and enjoy a relaxing sauna. Musicians love taking in our glorious seaside sunset view while playing the Steinway Baby Grand piano – and everyone enjoys the comfy window seats, cozy fireplace and wood-burning stove. Movie fans can curl up in front of the large flat-screen TV (with DirectTV satellite) enhanced by the dramatic surround sound experience of our Bose Acoustimass entertainment center. And those that can’t entirely escape the outside world will appreciate the free nationwide phone service. The chef(s) in your group will flip over the large, well-equipped gourmet kitchen with its exquisite Honduran Mahogany cabinetry. Grill masters and BBQ mavens always appreciate our high-quality, outdoor grill (with direct propane connection). Overlooking the crashing ocean waves, the spacious 1600 sq. foot deck gives everyone plenty of space to relax and unwind in our classic Adirondack chairs. If you visit in spring or late fall, keep your eyes peeled for seasonal migrating whales. After dinner, why not gaze at the moon in the star-filled sky while enjoying a relaxing soak in our new 50-jet spa tub (which can be closed off for complete privacy). With its spacious 2800 square feet, Vista Del Mar’s three bedrooms and loft offer comfortable sleeping for eight adults. The home’s warm, welcoming ambiance – complemented by tasteful furnishings – creates the perfect escape for relaxation and enjoyment of nature’s beauty. We also provide fresh bed linens and towels free of charge. Our home is professionally cleaned between guests and our enhanced cleaning and sanitizing processes adhere to all current CDC guidelines. Please be aware that because Vista Del Mar is located so close to the bluffs (and features natural redwood paneling easily damaged by curious little hands), you must personally inquire about bringing children under age 10. Frequently Asked Questions: Q May I bring my pet? A Unfortunately, no. No pets are ever allowed inside (or outside) our home. Q May I smoke inside the home? A No. Nor may you smoke outside the home. Vista Del Mar is strictly a non-smoking zone. In fact, smoking is prohibited in all common areas of The Sea Ranch community. Q May I wear shoes in your home? A In a word, no.

From 9 pm to 7 am (7 days a week), The Sea Ranch strictly enforces their Nuisance and Enforcement Rule. These noise limitations are taken very seriously and violations can—and will—result in monetary fines; multiple penalties can stack up in a single 24-hour period when the initial violation continues uncorrected. Q Are there security devices on the property? A Please be aware that the outside front entrance to Vista Del Mar is equipped with motion-activated video cameras (with remote video monitoring). Q May I bring my kids under age 10? A Please contact us (via our website at OurSeaRanchHome) so we can discuss your family’s particular situation.

We ate at the lodge one night, then cooked at the house the other two nights. The house was so well equipped including all grilling equipment, pots, pans, platters. Great clean hot tub for sunsets and whale watching. We went hiking and fishing every day. There is no place quite like Sea Ranch and VDM was the ideal location to enjoy it. ##### Perry T.

You wake up to dreamlike panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and a cup of coffee. The house is architectural and elegant in every way. You walk along the cliffs and bluffs quietly observing aquatic life: a breaching whale, sea lions nestled on the beach below. And you think to yourself… I don’t ever want to leave. Can’t wait to book our return to paradise! Many thanks, Peter ##### Peter G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine L. Nov 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular ocean view from the house, deck and hot tub 4 couples vacationed here together in early November. We loved the house. The four bedrooms were all very comfortable. Even the loft was spacious, had plenty of privacy, and had an ocean view. We chose this house to rent because of its location (close to the ocean) and we are so glad we did. Ocean view from almost every room. We cooked all meals in - the kitchen was very well equipped - nothing we needed was not there. The walking paths are wonderful. We did a lot of exploring and hiking. We spotted wild mushrooms everywhere - a mushroom forager's paradise. We used the main pool at the Ohlson Recreation Center. It was fantastic. Huge, heated, and empty. We had it all to ourselves. And there's a wonderful redwood sauna. Our favorite thing about John's house was the hot tub. It has sliding walls for privacy, which you can open to see the ocean (and deer passing by). At night, we'd all sit in the hot tub and marvel at the night sky and count the shooting stars we saw, and breathe in that delicious ocean air. We had a wonderful stay and definitely hope to return to Seascape and rent John's house again. And if you're into hiking: a must-do hike is the Russian Gulch Waterfall Loop trail - spectacular. It's just past Mendocino. After the hike, stop in Mendocino for lunch or early dinner. ##### Catherine L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy E.

We also enjoyed all of the meals we cooked in the kitchen - we brought up many groceries but enjoyed filling in the gaps at The Surf store in Gualala. We hope to be back again soon! ##### Alana W.

Kitchen well-equipped, real fireplace, great hot tub, comfortable beds, plenty of towels etc. Charming window seats for reading, working on laptop (good wifi!), staring out to sea. Large deck for grilling and amazing sunsets. Owner very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended! ##### Jane P. Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### elena H.

The location, the setup, and most of all the hot tub with the panoramic views of the ocean. We will definitely be returning in the future! ##### elena H.

Great master bedroom and bathroom with ocean view and very comfortable bed but no closet, only a short wardrobe; other two bedrooms are in a separate wing with one bathroom for the two bedrooms. Everything works well, the heat is specially efficient and fast. ##### Donald L. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Agata B.

The property is beautiful and well designed with large deck and Hottub that offers views and privacy in the same time. Kitchen was well equipped so we were able to enjoy beautiful meals. We would definitely book it again! ##### Agata B.

My notes for others on this house (to try and be helpful): Sea Ranch, as a whole, is one of the most lovely getaway spots anywhere. The drive up CA1 is worth the time alone, and the ocean-side houses and long meandering trails are the perfect way to relax. John has a great place right in the middle of Sea Ranch, and nicely close to the rec center/pool. It’s a great combination of functional along with that indescribable 70s era funkiness that I really enjoy. We had three generations sleep there for Christmas, and everyone was comfortable the whole time. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes/flatware as well as cook pots/pans/implements/spices, the couches and chairs are very comfortable, and there are more bed/sleeping combinations possible with the upper level loft than is apparent at first blush. Additionally, the sheets and blankets on the beds are very comfortable, helping even the lighter sleepers in our crew stay blissfully asleep. This feels much more like a beloved family vacation house, used by grandparents and many little kids alike (check out the pile of games in the bedroom closet), than a sterile purpose-purchased and appointed Airbnb. I would go back anytime. The only pointer for others—bring a bag of ice (and a meal for your first night) from the Stewart’s Point store or the Gualala Surf Market on your way in, so you can enjoy a cocktail at sunset your first night; as well-appointed as the kitchen is, there is no food to make a meal on check-in (including no cooking oil, coffee, ketchup, and other fridge dwelling condiments). Overall, I was very impressed with the house, and would absolutely stay here again. Jon was very communicative about setting expectations, check-in, and progress, and we tried to be as respectful as possible of his very lovely home. ##### Peter C.

Nov 12, 2018 #### Amazing views with ocean sounds Great location near the ocean and walking trails. Clean house and host was very attentive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. Outdoor deck area was great for hanging out and could sit in the hot tub with a view of the ocean. You could hear the waves from the house :) ##### Jason W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 3, 2018 #### Peaceful and Private Sonoma Coast Home Recently, I had the privilege of staying at Vista Del Mar on the Sonoma Coast, and the experience far-exceeded my expectations. Being from Seattle, I am accustomed to staying at world-class homes and resorts in the Pacific Northwest for both pleasure and business. I have never stayed at a nicer place than Vista Del Mar in over 30 years. The location at Sea Ranch is beautiful, private, and very peaceful. The home is stunning and has everything one would want or need during a stay. It is in immaculate shape and the listing photos accurately reflect the appearance and amenities. On one of the days at Vista Del Mar, our group played golf at Sea Ranch Golf Links. Though I had planned to play, I chose to spend my time sitting on the deck and enjoyed quiet time watching the ocean until the golfers returned for hot tub and cocktail time. The owner was very helpful and gave me a great deal of information about the entire area which contributed to an excellent whole experience. I would strongly recommend this property to anyone, feel it is a good value, and plan to return again in early 2013 for a family reunion. My thanks to the owner for an absolutely delightful experience!
