Ocean-view barn retreat with two decks, dogs welcome
Summary:
A short trail through the wildflowers connects your front door to the bluffs and the Pacific. Bring your pup -- dogs love the bluff trails here. Curl up by the fireplace as fog rolls in off the Pacific. Room for 7 in this 3-bedroom home. Just a 7-minute walk to the heated community pool. Trails, tidepools, and two heated community pools -- all within reach. The rugged Sonoma coastline unfolds from the deck -- raw, dramatic, and endlessly watchable.
The Space:
Breathe in the fresh ocean air at this three-bedroom Sea Ranch retreat—a charming escape with two decks, ocean views, and shared recreation amenities just a short walk away: outdoor pools, tennis courts, and saunas. Take a breathtaking walk on the oceanfront Bluff Trail two blocks south, tee off at the Sea Ranch Golf Links one mile north, and pick up groceries and peruse the eclectic art galleries in downtown Gualala three miles north.
Where the exterior was designed to resemble a country barn, the interior is full of warm, natural woods, stainless steel appliances, and large windows that frame the ocean and meadows. This is the only home in Sea Ranch with its own apple tree—enjoy fresh apples in summer straight from the branch. Ease into the day with a soak in the jetted tub, bring your coffee outside to one of the furnished decks, and take sunset strolls to Walk On Beach before preparing dinner in the elegant open kitchen.
Come and discover the wild coastal beauty of Sea Ranch - book today!
Bring your pup along -- this home welcomes up to 1 dog.

Driveway parking is available at the property. Detailed check-in instructions, including the door code, will be provided prior to your arrival. As a guest, you also have access to Sea Ranch community amenities including the pools, tennis courts, fitness center, and miles of trails. A recreation pass will be provided.
This home sits on the west side of Highway 1, just around the corner from an outdoor heated pool, saunas, and two tennis courts at the Del Mar Recreation Center. Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa is the nearest airport, about 1.5 hours east. A car is essential for exploring the area.
Other Things to Note:
You can even use the free WiFi as you relax by the fire.
Sea Ranch has three recreation centers with heated pools, saunas, and tennis courts. Access passes are provided with your stay -- check availability upon arrival as these shared amenities can be popular during peak times.
Exterior lighting is minimal by design to preserve the stunning dark sky -- bring a flashlight for evening walks and enjoy some of the best stargazing on the California coast.
Keep your eyes on the horizon from December to April -- gray whales migrate just offshore, and this property has a front-row seat. Visit in spring and the meadows explode with wildflowers. April through June is peak bloom season along the Sonoma Coast. The warmest months are June through September. Expect coastal fog most mornings that gives way to sunny afternoons.
Up to 1 dog are welcome. Please keep dogs on leash on trails and clean up after them. This is the only home in Sea Ranch with an apple tree — enjoy fresh apples in the summer!

Beautiful place to visit, we had a wonderful time. Had everything we needed in the house. It was lovely being able to sit back and watch our kids play outside!
We really enjoyed our stay at 60 Heron Ct. The house is beautifully built and furnished and well maintained. We enjoyed the views from the upstairs bedroom - so relaxing!
Enjoyed our stay. Everything clean, comfortable and in working order. Lovely home

We loved this property. No bad view in the house. Clean and beautiful. Everything you need for a amazing relaxing stay at Sea Ranch.
The home is beautiful and well appointed. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of toys awaiting our two little kids. The setting is peaceful and everything in the home was lovely. A great vacation!

Very comfortable and beautiful home
We loved the outdoor sitting area and the kitchen was very usable. There was an ant infestation that you might want to address.

Hi, Pat! It was our pleasure hosting you and we are glad you enjoyed your visit. We are sorry that you had problems with ants on the property. We always set ant bait stations throughout the house and we encourage guests not to leave any kind of food or drinks on the counters as it draws in the ants. Although ants are very common this time of the year, we have noticed this year it has been more than usual. We look forward to hosting you again!

Awesome houe in spectacular setting!
The Barn was unbelievably comfortable and well appointed. From every kitchen utensil to bikes in the garage, it has everything. Within walking distance of the bluff and across the street from one of the rec centers, it is ideally located. Didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back.

Beautiful home!
Our family stayed here for three nights for a coastal get-away. The Barn was spacious, beautiful, relaxing and had everything we needed for our stay with two children and 4 adults. Could see the ocean from the house. We loved exploring the beaches and the area around Sea Ranch as well as just hanging out at the house. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Looking forward to staying again!

Immaculate, spacious home
The Barn was a super comfortable place for my family of 5. It was spotless, spacious, and well-equipped. We particularly appreciated the garage, which has been outfitted as a play area complete with a ping-pong table. Only thing that could have made the house more perfect is a hot tub.
So lovely! Only wish we had better directions from the office where we picked up keys to the property. But besides that the hone was LOVELY!

Nice House
House is very well maintained and taken care of. Nice bedrooms. Kitchen is well-stocked. Nice location, though no real view. But we'd recommend it and would look forward to returning. Nice to see a Sea Ranch house so well taken-care of!

Beautiful home and location.
We had a wonderful time. It was walking distance to the beach and across the street from the pool. Discovered a beautiful flower garden near the pool. Love Sea Ranch more and more every year. The only reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars was due to the mattress (too soft, may need to be replaced). Thanks!
