After arrival you are likely to see deer, rabbits, foxes, vultures, hawks, gophers, seals, whales, dolphins, crabs, starfish, raccoons, turkeys, and more! The Sea Ranch is a special place: beautiful, natural, quiet, welcome, and private. The community also prides itself in the dark skies for wonderful stargazing. Our home is located at the north end of The Sea Ranch, convenient to shops, services and grocery stores in Gualala.

Guest access
You'll have the full house and the garden. The garage is not available to guests.

Other things to note
The Sea Ranch is a quiet community, and many of our neighbors are full and part-time time residents. Please stay quite while outdoors, and only use the lights you need (to ensure everyone can enjoy the stars!). Please keep exterior lights off unless required and please park so that your car is not visible from the street.

The home is largely off-grid: it's fully electric, and uses solar arrays paired with energy storage (batteries) to provide fully off-grid energy. Water is locally sourced from two 150-foot deep wells drilled 10.5 miles up the Gualala River South Fork, then pumped directly from the underground reservoir to the home by the Sea Ranch Water Company. WiFi is the only thing keeping you "connected."

We’re hands-on hosts who personally manage our home: you can expect to work with us and individual local caretakers we've selected. You won't work with a property management company. Our home is designed as an actual home vs turnkey vacation rental with incredible attention to detail and personal touches. The prior owners built the home themselves and lived in it for 40 years.
